I will be very, very amused if it turns out to be a pig with engineering goggles. Just sayin’.

I agree….hopefully this goes live. I’m just hoping it’s not confined to the Wintergrasp zone as a piece of the PvP zone. It would be neat if this was an engineering mount, though I think that piece is speculation.

I think it’s in the game, but we just haven’t seen it yet.

I like the idea of the “hog” but I love the idea of leather jackets with guild insignia on the back!

BTW, my guild on Khaz’goroth is called “Bunnies From Hell” and our insignia is the bunny head (red on black).

Man, starting to feel like when FF went all lasers and sci-fi, which I love, but not in my fantasy games. Sorry, but a deep sigh from me.

I’m fairly sure that the idea that Warcraft is a fantasy universe was chucked out the window when dwarves were flying around on steam powered helicopters shooting missiles.

This here WoW is steampunk.

I, for one, will happily rev my hog for the ladies.

I thought that I heard that the bikes were datamined, and will only be available for use in Wintergrasp PvP….did someone hear otherwise?

If so, I have a rogue that finally hit max engineering that would love to ride on one.

I used the guide at tentonhammer to power-level Engineering a couple weeks ago, almost as soon as this hunter hit 70. I went from 1 to 359 in two days and it cost me about 1300g which I thought was quite reasonable – that’s less than the price of one good BoP epic. I’m still missing a lot of the useful recipes, but I have my goggles, copter, and mote extractor (which has more than paid for itself already).

Lan is far too stylish an elf ever to ride an ugly smelly wyvern so it was almost a must ;)

Definitely looking forward to the bikes. Not your kind of fantasy? meh, it’s been part of the world’s style right from the beginning. More so on the Alliance side of course, with the dwarves building all manner of siege engines and even aircraft, and the gnomes doing the same thing but in a weirder and more dangerous fashion.

Oh, also second the idea of a LW or tailoring craftable tent!

My Rogue will definitely make the Hog. She will definitely be a hawt Biker Chick.

My Druid will be jealous. But he’s stuck with skinning and leatherworking. Ooh… maybe we can make a Teepee for portable resting! That’d be great!

I can’t wait for the “Hog!!” My dwarf looks so much like a biker now it will fit him perfectly.

Although my engineer is a Paladin, but I would so change my hunter over to an engineer if I could have Sapphire in the side car with goggles!! It will never happen but one can dream!
