New chieves for 100/125 minipeys too. :D

Also for Minipets, as well as minipeys.

Cool! Too bad I cancelled and am starting RIFT today.
Sorry WoW - you were about 1 week too late on this.
CYA next expansion!
ciao bella!

No bear...sad face.

Remember that 4.1 is still on the PTR--they could very well fix in a new bear mount, which is what I'm assuming they will do, as they've gone through to make new versions of the other mounts.

Yes bear...happy face!
It's in the second paragraph under The Return of Zul'Aman: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/2356431

If you read the patch info
http://wow.joystiq.com/2011/02/24/patch-4-1-ptr-the-return-of-zulgurub/
It clearly says there is to be a new bear mount.
"With the return of Zul'aman, you may be curious, can you once again get the rare mount? We are please to announce a new version of the rare raptor, tiger and bear mounts, while the older mounts will still retain their uniqueness. We will share more information about how to obtain these mounts in the future. "

nice nice, more petsss
please also new achievement, 150 pets and 140 mounts would be good. Or more i already got those ammounts anyway.
Then only the real collecters have this epic achievement.
Sagretti Feb 24th 2011 8:31AM
The reason it can't be a 150 pet achievement is that it would then require people either have pets that are no longer available (removed from game, special event, anniversary, etc.), or make them spend money on the pet store/card game pets. My collection is still a few short of 150, and I have a bunch of pets in that collection that are no longer available and a few that cost money (charity pets and Lil XT). I'm not even sure a newer player could make that number at the moment unless they invested a lot of extra money.
egburr Feb 24th 2011 10:31AM
I have 135 pets currently, and NONE of them are from outside the game (blizzard store, trading card game, blizzcon, etc.) except for the core hound for having an authenticator. Some of them are no longer available, so I can understand not raising the bar too much. But it is kind of annoying that I will get all these new pets achievements completed instantly upon logging in after the patch, with nothing further to work toward.

It might just be my phone, but I'm not seeing any models here. Can someone direct me in the right direction? Also, I'm happy that they added a lot of mounts. It MIGHT make up for the RNG of one of them.

Actual pictures of the mounts and pets haven't been released yet.
Noekh Feb 24th 2011 7:34AM
WoW Insider, you're the best. I was feeling pretty down this morning until I read this. Now I'm all excited! Any idea when the patch drops? (I've been away from WoW for some time, and haven't gotten into "the swing of things" just yet.)
Nina Katarina Feb 24th 2011 8:51AM
I suspect that the patch won't drop until end of March/beginning of April at the earliest.
Ishammel Feb 24th 2011 7:45AM
"That's a substantial amount of new non combat pets and mounts."
Should read: That's a substantial NUMBER of new non combat pets and mounts.
Zenith Feb 24th 2011 7:52AM
Flameward hippogryph is obviously a hyjal mount, beryl and crimson firehawks would be more alliance/horde pets like at the argent tourney, I just wonder if there will be more JOUSTing
Noyou Feb 24th 2011 11:47AM
There already is more jousting. Unfortunately it's grab ass in a frickin cave with fire dropping from the ceiling :)
Felix_NZ Feb 27th 2011 4:47PM
Noyou - obviously too young to remember Atari's 'the Joust'.
