So what's different about it? Does it take more hits to dismount you or something?
Granted if it IS statistical the same as a purple and is only "legendary" because of the "ooo shiny" factor of the model I suppose that would at least keep folks from chanting "Pay to win" about it.
Checking the date, ok it's not april first. How is the same speed legendary? Can you not be knocked off ever or something because that's the only thing I could think of if there is no speed increase.

Yep, its just the looks. Sadly i really want it, enough to farm out all the AD to gamble or AH? Nope. Guess this is the one mount ill have to rule out =/
There is nothing legendary about this.
You cant release a new mount and put an orange bar around it to drive sales... that's discussing and so classless by the devs.
Looks are in the eye of the beholder, some of the 50% mounts look better than the 110% mounts but that doesn't make them epic.
We judge a mounts rarity rating by its speed (and rate it takes to get knocked off) and NOTHING ELSE
110% speed = epic. u can put pink, orange, red, and gray boarders around its name but that wont change anything.
Way to try and prey off of players.

What's the difference between a lev99 epic artifact and a lev100 legendary one? The stats are the same but I assumed there was some extra bonus, now I'm not so sure.
We don't know yet , I posted on the announcement thread asking if it was a copy/paste mistake but nobody replied . If the stats are as intended though then the only thing Legendary about the new mount is the orange around it's icon lmfao
no it doesn't
They didn't list it on purpose. they would have been more than happy to show off about the speed increase in the notes if it were actually faster
What makes this truly disgusting is that they wont simply list its 110% speed, so casual players will drop hundreds on boxes only to find out the hard way.
There isn't even a legendary mount tab in the ah.
Its going to take weeks for most players to realize its 110% speed, in the meantime the devs will be laughing to the bank. Such a trash company. I've been playing the game since beta and nothing they have done has upset me more than this

We've seen it linked in trade/zone as well a few selling already on the AH. 110% is the speed. Nothing special.
....lol, so there is no practical reason for me to have it since its still 110% how does the orange icon effect my performance ?!
No to speak about how useless mounts are in this game,and we spend real money to get them

That could be a tooltip copy/paste mistake ,until one of the dev team comment or until somebody with one races a regular epic we don't know but if it is the same stats then tut tut Cryptic lol

I for one am happy that the speed isn't greater than 110 and I applaud the Devs for not increasing the mount's speed. Many people would have seen a rare faster mount as an obvious cash grab since this can be a significant advantage in PvP.
Point still stands, they should have listed it as Epic, that can not be argued logically. If you upgraded an epic artifact to a legendary and nothing changed except it glowed orange is that acceptable? No.
Let's not beat about the bush.
We all have a clear idea on epic being significantly different from legendary
We all know the specific lack of information regarding stats can only mean one thing, considering every other single comparable addition has always listed atleast one piece of relevant information. If that's witheld, what do you think people will expect?
Bottom line is, the whole thing, as always, could have been implemented in a better fashion.
1) We're bringing out a new mount that is deemed legendary, here are the stats, it's purely legendary because the design is different.
2) We're bringing out a legendary mount that has increased X stat. Due to the overall impact of this upgrade that chances of it dropping have been significantly decreased.
There's no point in arguing over pay to win. The game is what it is, if you want to progress quickly and have the money to do it, it can be done and will be done. If you don't then you have to always expect that people will do it because that's the way it's always been.

The Legendary Beetle has this un-noted power:
While your character is idle/sleeping it whispers into your ear and has you dream of glory and fame and heroism. When you become un-idle, or wake up you feel refreshed and your character has a 20% temp stamina bonus for the next 60 min of game play.
At least a teeny bit of effort, the tiniest little change in the mount would have led credence to you calling it legendary, instead of just changing 0066CC to FF9900
It follows therefore, that this young man will be as unfeeling, as unthinking as the dead, until the day he joins them.

I don't think we know yet.
Give a man a fire and he's warm for the day. But set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.

Someone said that instead of an insect noise it speaks with the voice of Neil Patrick Harris saying: "legend...wait for it... dary!"
