In World of Warcraft, there is an understanding for spawn campers of ultra-rare mounts. In Warlords of Draenor, seven new open-world drop mounts are introduced, but their drop chance is increased to 100%, and the associated mobs can be tagged by more than one player.
In rarity lies the spice: Rare spawns in the World of Warcraft
Many World of Warcraft players have had their little traumatic experiences in the game. Some achievement that took forever because they were always unlucky. Or some mount that just wouldn’t drop even after the thousandth try. Some hunters still suffer from the aftereffects of post-traumatic stress syndrome when they hear the name Loque’nahak.
The “Time-Lost Proto-Drake,” better known by its alias TLPD, was such a devil’s spawn during the blissful “Wrath of the Lich King” times. It shared a spawn timer with other mobs, was sighted less frequently than the Yeti (so, the real one, because you see WoW Yetis all the time), and when you encountered the TLPD, you usually arrived just in time to witness someone else delivering the killing blow.
7 new TLPD mounts scattered across Draenor, none as nasty as the original
A type of particularly rare mob, that spawns at the most absurd times and then drops a very special mount, is also making its debut with Warlords of Draenor. They have apparently been nicknamed after their ancestor by Blizzard.
Mounts of the “TLPD” variety are set to make a comeback in World of Warcraft. They only drop from rare spawns. Seven of them are said to be spread across Draenor.
One of the senior game designers of World of Warcraft, Blizzard developer Jeremy “Muffinus” Feasel, gives precautionary reassurance via Twitter: While there will be 7 of these mounts, they are all “much nicer,” far more humanely obtainable than the TLPD. The mobs might have a spawn timer ranging from “not so long” to “pretty long,” but everyone participating in a fight against them will receive a 100% drop.
