After some effort, players of the Alliance have earned a mount in World of Warcraft. Then the game said: “Haha, just for the Horde.”
The latest raid “Battle of Dazar’alor” has been accessible in World of Warcraft for a few days. On normal and heroic difficulty, all bosses fell quite quickly, so some players have already moved on to “achievement runs” to earn the mount “Whirlwind of Dazar’alor.” This is offered as a reward for completing all achievements and thus the meta achievement “Glory of the Raider of Dazar’alor.”
No mount for the Alliance: However, the joy over the mount quickly faded, as the user Buuloki explained on Reddit. As a member of the Alliance, the mount is unusable. None of his raid members can use the mount as it is apparently marked as “Horde only.”
Buuloki also verified this immediately. He logged on to one of his Horde characters and was able to use the mount there without any problems. Back on the Alliance side, the Whirlwind remained marked in red – no chance.
Mockery and scorn against Blizzard: Naturally, this incident drew some mockery on Reddit again, with the frequent comment: “Welcome to the beta of Azeroth!”
Since the error is quite small and likely quick to fix, it should only be a matter of a few days before Blizzard rolls out a hotfix to make the mount accessible to players of the Alliance as well. Until then, it lives a unloved existence in the collection.
Have you also already gotten the mount and are suffering from the same problem? Or do you play World of Warcraft on the right side?
