I still love the chocobo mounts despite the antifans, funnily enough they are a sort of "chicken" mount too. I tend to use the Black Warstrider now though rather than the purple one I used when I was leveling.HPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11762532904788031568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-23745056931667009122009-03-18T08:57:00.000-04:002009-03-18T08:57:00.000-04:00Completing the epic Warlock mount quest chain, and...Completing the epic Warlock mount quest chain, and finally getting my hands on the Dreadsteed, is still one of my fondest memories of WoW pre-BC.<BR/><BR/>People would stop and stare, I would get whispers like: <BR/><BR/>"Where did you get that, and how do I get one?"<BR/><BR/>Great days.<BR/>Now you just get to lv 60 and the trainer hands one over...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-19135308883139462322009-03-18T00:52:00.000-04:002009-03-18T00:52:00.000-04:00Believe it or not, I simply don't feel like it's w...Believe it or not, I simply don't feel like it's worth binding a key to mounting and dismounting. My main doesn't mine or herb, so I generally only dismount when I'm stopping to fight something, at which point the first spell I cast will automatically dismount me. It's very rarely time sensitive enough that I don't have time to click, and I'd rather save my conveniently reached keybinds for things that I actually do need in a hurry.Green Armadillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15564045048380177626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-56150358067760483532009-03-18T00:26:00.000-04:002009-03-18T00:26:00.000-04:00I can totally agree here.

A nice perk (or the main reason? :P) of getting to Rank 11 was getting a free epic land mount, which was quite an achievement in itself - back in 2006. 600g weren't so easily grinded (ground?). But yes, I decided to be special and not get a Wolf again - like I had used one from 42/44 till 60. No, I decided to go for a Raptor. So while r11 saved me from the mount costs, getting my Troll rep up to Exalted was a different thing. I spent quite some time with the Ogres in Deadwind Pass. But I still love my hard earned Black War Raptor and kind of loathe the mount change as I can no longer link my "special" one (it was distinguished as 'Requires Level 58') after I consumed it. Now it's just like one obtained for BG marks. :|<BR/><BR/>Oh, and http://www.wowwiki.com/Mount_Macros should contain something helpful to change the macro to do a dismount while mounted as well. The GoGoMount addon I use does this very perfectly without having to macro it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-50903201488436860302009-03-17T11:59:00.000-04:002009-03-17T11:59:00.000-04:00I use the Livestock mod for random mounting, and y...I use the Livestock mod for random mounting, and you can set it up to use the same keybind for mounting and dismounting.<BR/><BR/>And I love the Mechanostrider.

What does your mount keybind do while you're mounted?<BR/><BR/>Personally, I've never ridden a mechanostrider longer than about the distance it took me to run my druid from the purchasing place to the nearest flight path -- not because I didn't like it, in fact because it was so small, it felt like I was going faster -- but because it didn't really fit with that character's identity and I thought "well, that was fun, now back to my regular mount".<BR/><BR/>After reading all of these anti-strider posts, I'm not quite as sure that I want my dwarf rogue engineer alt to get exalted with gnomeregan after all.
