Discussion: Get us a REAL Champion steed before the current hack goes into the store

Seriously. No inspiration, no theme, no flair about this piece of nonsense. This steed does not in any way reflect the qualities of the awesome class. I´m only going to mention the DAGGER?!?! as a design element, and leave the rest to the viewers discretion:

Its not too late yet, noone has paid money for it yet (and if it stays that way, noone will...). I thought the other class mounts were quite nicely done in that they picked up a specific theme of their class and ran with it. THIS so called steed of champion is neither

• martially spikey
• bling-bling narcissistic
• scruffy and rough
• bloodsoaked and war-torn
• ludicrously overdone

All common champion themes. The Champion horse would be the one mount that allowed your designers to go over the top and run with it, because we LIKE it that way. Hell, we got a skill called "Boast" for a reason! There is still time before store introduction

Oh Pony, always so touchy when it comes to your precious champion class.
But I do understand the point you are making.

Yeah, I expected a large weapon-rack of some sort, or a quiver full of different kind of weapons on both sides of the horse with a torn flag sticking out at the back. This current one is laughable for champions or when we compare it to the other previous class-horses.

I almost never respond to posts like this, but I am too dissapointed with the steed design. I will keep my money in this case.

Personally, I'm fairly satisfied with the weaponry (though adding an axe or such wouldn't hurt). What I find severly lacking is the class symbol. Not just two swords, but the distinctive symbol of two crossed swords on a blue background. These class symbols is in my mind what really sets these mounts apart from regular rep mounts in game.

I won the steed in the Lottery and when i pulled it out to brag it to the people in my server i was like, meh i have to get my fireworks steed ASAP!!!

Not to hurt any feelings but I found it ugly. like really randomly placed packs and bags, couple of swords and a dagger? and such great choice of colors. (sarcasm) I'd proudly ride a mathom steed than this one.

I kinda have to agree with you on this one.

I think it looks fine. Planning on getting one.

You guys thinking something like this?



Chainsaws for ears, an ICBM for a tail, an RPG for anything left after the nuke, and its armor is made of skulls. Plus it's on fire. You can't beat having a horse that's on fire.

Also note the angry eyes and villain moustache/goatee combo. This isn't a nice, friendly pony, people.

I apologize for this in advance, but I just can't help myself: "Take it easy, champ."
Now that that's out of the way, I agree, though I kinda like the rich crimson color of the blanket-thingy on it.

Almost perfect. Just needs a Cuisinart mounted on the saddlebow.

I laughed when I saw the Cwood version of the steed. That's awesome.

Anyway, I agree. The champ steed looks blah. I think there should be a sheathe for a spear somewhere, two for swords (one on each side), and maybe an axe or two in front. A bag or two, but no random bags.

seems you are playing the wrong game,
sorry you wasted so much years but wow
is released since 2004 now

the horse looks cool ... you just have no taste it seems

What's wrong with the horse? just remove the swords and add most daggers since no one uses swords or axes anyways... oh wait, wrong class... Umm, yes, remake please
