Around Azeroth: The sweet escape
Is that what you call a getaway? Tell me what you got away with. Kaitos of <Mortality> on Rexxar (US-H) recently escaped death by a hair's breadth while on a routine flyover of Hyjal. Really, flying carpet mounts should be able to catch on fire and disintegrate in midair, flinging their riders to the earth. That would be awesome.

Y'know, feathers and fur are both pretty flammable, and look at how many mounts have at least one of those...
...and maybe the engineers' flying machine could occasionally explode for no reason...

WowInsider referencing "Brand New" was enough to make me sign up.

Or was that not a Brand New reference? =\

Brand New? Referenced on WoW Insider? It's more likely than you think!

Had to sign-up after that Brand New reference...

and now that brand new song will be stuck in my head for a while.
someone once told me the song was about one of the guys from taking back sunday. something about him stealing a girlfriend or something. ::shrug::

fyi this stems from the entire verse that seems to pull lines straight from taking back sunday songs:
"is this what you call tact, your as subtle as a brick in the small of my back"
and
"when you say best friends means friends forever"

Brand New/TBS debate on WowInsider?! well I never....
Jessie Lacey from Brand New wrote this song (seventy times seven) first, about John Nolan from TBS sleeping with Jessie's girl.
TBS fired back with "There's no I in Team" using lyrics from "Seventy Times Seven" to make it an obvious retaliation.
Both good songs. Both guys friends now, so all forgotten about.
And neither play WoW...

Flying Carpets should, at minimum, fray over time, making them smaller and smaller. They take up far too much screen real estate IMO. Why do they have to be so _huge_? When will Blizz get away from this idea that mounts have to get always-ever-bigger in order to be awesome?
I need a hug.

I noticed that a very fast mount...a Frosty Flying Carpet in my case, will outrun a fireball. However, after two circuits of Deepholm the fireball was still behind me. I think it doesn't drop unless you change regions...and even then I am not sure and haven't tested it. Sometimes I had to wait a bit to see if it was still behind me...it was. You can gain that much distance on it but it is slow doing so. I noticed when I finally gave up and let it hit me that it did almost no damage. I wonder if the damage goes away over time?

In all honesty if we caught on fire, that would make my day :D
