Around Azeroth Beta Edition: Oh, the humanity!
The goblin engineers run a pretty competent zeppelin service, with only the occasional incident of dropping everyone through the floor of the ship to their watery graves. And I've never seen a gnomish mechanostrider waiting for a tow truck on the side of the road. But something about this new engineering mount has me worried. Maybe it's the fact that it looks like it was built from whatever washed up on the beach in Tanaris. Maybe it's the loose rockets right next to the open flame. Or maybe it's the large death toll attributed to goblin engineering projects. Thanks, but I think I'll stick to the ground for now. (Thanks to Klangkor of <Game Over> on Greymane [US-H] for the screenshot.)

You know what they really should put in? Gnomish and Goblin submarines as water mounts.
Hell, make them 3 person.
For those who don't know,

I suppose you could see the balloon as an idea-ball.

The more I look at it, the more unsure I become that I want it. :( Also, how does a blimp with two goblin rockets go faster than a chopper with two jet engines? I think the kajamite might be wearing off...

Wait, really? This will be a new engineering mount?
If so, that is aweosme!

I demand that they make guild craft-able items for example engineers should be able to build those damn flying ships as guild mounts. Also I would accept this hot air contraption as a mount that will placate me until they do so.

I agree - show us some more engineer love - I feel like the red-headed step child of my guild... or ammo maker.

I must confess being confused as to why we need a new engineer mount (and I do have a maxed out engineer as one of my toons). As I understand it, mounts like our current copter, choppa and the tailor's carpet all match the different speeds of flight/ground movement.
Since the new 310% flight is supposed to work with all flying mounts once acquired, what is the new mount supposed to match?
What am I overlooking here?

You're missing the coolness of the balloon! Just lookatit! Sweet.
Amaxe Sep 2nd 2010 1:16PM
/e looks at balloon.
/e sweatdrops
OK, again... why do we need a new engineering mount without [Paper Bag of Embarrassment] to wear on the head slot while using it.

It's not a new engineering mount. It's merely used for quests.

Tailoring got a new mount out of the blue with Frozzo (Frosty flying carpet). Why would anyone complain about another new mount? No one forces you to make them. Last time I checked they all count towards 100. Me personally with all my lovely alts, I try to use different signature mounts for each one. I already have one engineer and plan to have more so I fully welcome more engineering (or any other crafted mounts). I'd love for them to be multi-passenger even better!
Noyou Sep 2nd 2010 12:10PM
If that is the new Engineer crafted mount that is sweet! Hell even if it's a flightpath ride it's pretty sweet. I play strictly alliance but I can appreciate the other sides vehicles. I do welcome any and all crafted mounts. Why wouldn't you? Who cares what speed it goes as 310% will be available either by purchase or grandfathered in if you have a 310% flyer. Yes, the really sweet part would be if they gave us a multi-passenger air mount. Which that looks like it could be...just sayin.

They do have do have a multi passenger air mount. The only way to get it is to invite a friend and have them buy WoW and pay for a month (or 2 not sure).
Justin Sep 21st 2010 8:46PM
Sorry, I forgot to mention that it will hold only 1 guest.
Elenac Sep 2nd 2010 2:13PM
Right! That's it! My gnome priest is so going to be an engineer, whether she likes it or not!

Same old bullshit. "Email me your account info and you'll hack someone's account!"
Ban this !@#$er.
