Heart of the Aspects mount now available for $25

by Alex Ziebart Feb 14th 2012 at 5:00PM

While patch 4.3 was on the PTR, dataminers discovered a pretty slick-looking mount in the game files: the Heart of the Aspects. We all speculated as to how players might receive it, and today we found our answer. You can buy it from the Blizzard Store for $25, adding it to your stable of real-money mounts alongside the Celestial Steed and Winged Guardian.

Update: Blizzard has released their official announcement.

Its time to re-arm the dragon soul. Can't take the ugly.

i'm a sucker for these, 3rd mount i'm gonna buy. kinda wish they had the spectral tiger mount on the blizz store :D

Kudos to those who predicted this would be a Blizzard Store Purchase!

Zayd Feb 14th 2012 5:15PM

I'm tempted to buy one to give my alts something different to ride about in.

incoming00 Feb 14th 2012 5:18PM

haha seriously, imagine just hitting lvl 20 and riding around this thing :D

Is it just me or have most of these paid-mounts and pets looked consistently bad? And even for the ones that do look kinda interesting, they really lose their effect when there's about fifty other people around the capitol sporting them

They're just so... annoyingly shiny and flamboyant. At this point I would pay $25 for my characters to fly like a superhero.

It's you

OMG I totally agree this has to be one of the most ugliest mounts I have ever seen... give me my netherdrake any day...

Eldoron Feb 14th 2012 6:39PM

Just like nether drakes? They were shiny and most lvl 70s had them at one point

artifex Feb 14th 2012 6:53PM

Makes my violet proto-drake look prettier, so it can't be all bad.

Aika Feb 14th 2012 7:13PM

It's not just you.

I wonder if Blizzard is in conflict, internally, over paid-for mounts, as they each one has been so ugly. We know they can do better as they regularly *do* do better with the in-game reward mounts.

Yes, they are all ugly and unappealing, that's why they sell so many. The aesthetic may not appeal to you (or, honestly, to me) but they certainly seem to be tapping into a market. Like SUVs, I guess.

Aika Feb 14th 2012 7:35PM

Well, yes. It's just strange because they successfully appeal to a quite different aesthetic with a lot of the in-game mounts. But maybe it's a separate design team that does the paid-for stuff.

Utakata Feb 14th 2012 8:06PM

It looks to me more like it was designed by a committee.

lazymangaka Feb 14th 2012 9:08PM

It is just you.

Prelimar Feb 14th 2012 5:16PM

i may have to actually buy a mount.

Skyburnone Feb 14th 2012 5:18PM

awesome!

kabshiel Feb 14th 2012 5:19PM

That's disappointing that they would take a mount that fits in perfectly with the current raid and make it a store item.

Noyou Feb 14th 2012 5:44PM

I can appreciate you not wanting to have to purchase a mount. If you think you will like it, buy it. If it is like the other 2 mounts, it goes to any toon you ever made. It is great for toons on other servers and alts. If you have room in your budget, it's not a bad choice. No- I do not work for Blizzard :P
