Drysc tells us that there are changes coming to the latest Upper Deck loot items in 2.2. The Goblin Gumbeaux Kettle is going to keep its one hour cooldown, but everyone who loots it will get Gumbeaux (warning: may cause intestinal gas) for the entire three minutes it stays on the ground. Can't wait to see those pop up around Shattrath (or, as Drysc says, in the middle of raids).And good news for the few who were able to grab the Spectral Tiger Mount (or just picked it up on eBay). Apparently the cat is getting "a little more armor" and the ethereal effect of it will be improved. Sounds great. I still haven't seen one of those ingame yet-- have you?
People are still complaining about the hourlong cooldown on the gumbo (sorry, Gumbeaux), and I'm torn. One on hand, an hour is a really long time for an item that's just a joke. I get to summon Vargoth every few minutes (and often do when I get bored). But then again, it is just a joke-- who really cares whether you have to wait five minutes or an hour to burp your heart out? It's a fun loot reward-- be happy you got one and enjoy it as is.

I can't wait for the inevitable food buff that gives your character explosive diarrhea.

I'm glad its an hour, vargoth isn't annoying but I'm sure the gumbo could be if 40 (sorry) 25 people were doing it every 3 minutes.

Just to answer your question, somebody on my server does have the mount (Suramar Horde. The thing looks cool and whenever the dude is in Org or Shatt, he is surrounded by like 30 people.

I ran into a Spectral Tiger 2 days before the official release date running AV.
Impressive. But I'll stick with my PvP talbuk.

Yeah, I got to ride a spectral tiger at Blizzcon. The premades all got to ride it for the Lich King demo.

I've seen a bunch of the mounts on Tichondrius. Currently, its the exact same model (and armor) as all other swift tiger mounts but translucent. Certainly not worth what they're going ro on eBay.

They need to lower the cooldown on my rocket helmet.

They also really need to lower the cooldown on the fireworks trinket. I could see a 10 second cooldown or something, but 30 seconds is too much time between firework shots. I thought I was going to be able to put on a show with that thing...

I just want my fishing chair to last longer so I can fish forever not 3 minutes at a time.
