New models in patch 8.1.5 of World of Warcraft build anticipation. Alliance players finally get some variety in their mounts.
The current expansion of World of Warcraft, Battle for Azeroth, brought numerous new mounts to the game world. However, Alliance players felt neglected, as they received plenty of horses. While these are visually more impressive than the classic horses, they offered little variety. On the Horde’s side, the diversity was greater.
This sparked the common meme in the World of Warcraft subreddit that every new mount for the Alliance must always be a horse.
New mount wolf for the Alliance: Apparently, this will soon be coming to an end, as a new model has appeared in patch 8.1.5. This shows a mount wolf that wears armor in the colors of the Alliance and is also adorned with the distinctive lion logo. The colleagues at wowhead have already extracted the appearance of the wolf from the game data:
Where can you find the wolf? The source of the wolf is not yet known. However, most players speculate that the wolf will be a reward for rated PvP in an upcoming season, highlighting the collaboration between Saurfang and Anduin. However, there is no evidence for this yet.
Other new models in the patch: The latest update of patch 8.1.5 also brought some additional models to the game. For instance, Derek Proudmoore, the now undead brother of Jaina, has now received his own model. This indirectly confirms that Derek will play a larger role and won’t be “burned through” anytime soon. Individual models have only been provided by Blizzard when characters had a longer storyline ahead of them.
What do you think of the new mount wolf? Do you want to use this as an Alliance player? Or should wolves be exclusively accessible to the Horde?
