Holyssa Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 (edited) http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.h...o=1&sid=1#0 By Tigole: I wanted to give a very early head's up to all of you Zul'Aman raiders out there:Once Wrath of the Lich King goes live, you will no longer be able to obtain the Zul'Aman bear mount by saving all 4 prisoners in the timed run. The Bear Mount will be replaced by a very good, epic item that is level appropriate for people doing the zone. To be clear, the Zul'Aman bear mount is supposed to be an item of very high prestige. We want players who have earned it during the appropriate era (aka before the level cap gets raised) to be recognized for their accomplishment. We have absolutely no problem with higher level players (above level 70) going back and doing Zul'Aman after Wrath of the Lich King is live. We just want to preserve the accomplishment of having saved all 4 prisoners at the intended difficulty level. We will most likely do something similar with the titles "Hand of A'dal" and "Champion of the Naaru" as well. Please don't panic! You still have plenty of time to complete these feats! Wrath of the Lich King is coming along great but is not ready yet! In fact, we're not even in beta yet! So have fun adventuring for your bears and titles but please consider this your early warning. I know WotLK is a long ways off, but it makes sense: at L80, people would steamroll the poor Amani trolls & those bears would be everywhere, ruining the novelty of the item.

Perthes Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 So correct me if im wrong.. Wont people now want to do ZA even "more" now just for titles and such then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kailand Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 (edited) So correct me if im wrong.. Wont people now want to do ZA even "more" now just for titles and such then? There are no titles... the titles mentioned are for those that completed the SSC/TK and HS/BT attunement quests. As it is, our monday night run can only do 3 chests with 2 minutes left on the timer and we are geared at or above the T5 level. To go faster and get all 4 we would probably need to replace a healer with a DPSr (go with 1 MT, 1 OT, 6 DPS, 2 healer instead of our 1 Mt, 1 Ot, 5 DPS, 3 healer), or wait until we are all geared in Tier 6. That being said, blizzard is being anal about locking these rewards to a certain level. Who cares if everyone in the game has a bear mount? There will just be another prestige mount in the expansion to replace it. Edited May 13, 2008 by Kailand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm willing to bet money that the mount's "replacement" item is something silly like yet another ring, a weapon like the one Zul'jin is holding, or something more awesome like an .I kinda wish Blizzard provided alternative methods to getting these soon-to-be obsolete items, like an "item museum" where you can buy outdated but nostalgic things with lots of Badges (Sulfuras, Corrupted Ashbringer, TF, or Baron's mount). People will only run the old content so many times out of boredom or for alts, but it would give today's generation a chance to see what they missed out on. :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
