Clarifications about Vicious Saddles in Battle for Azeroth

Vicious Saddle

Hey guys! This is something we've seen y'all ask about and just wanted to share some insight to the Vicious Saddle mounts.

Currently, players can earn Vicious Saddles through the “Veteran of the Alliance” or “Veteran of the Horde” series of per-character achievements. We’re also working on some new ways players can earn Vicious Saddles in the next major content update, Tides of Vengeance.

Note that the Battle for Azeroth seasonal mounts will not be added to the saddle vendor until sometime after the conclusion of the final Battle for Azeroth PvP season. Until then, the only way to earn these mounts will be to actively participate in the associated PvP season.

Comment by WolfaelanI just want my saber and strider.Comment by MoarHeroismsTying the mounts to each season while also making them available after BfA is a fine compromise. Now if only they'd do that with the elite sets.Comment by marclarStill, no reason pointed... "Lets just change stuff guys, whatever lul...Benefit? Naah, it doesn't have to benefit anyone, just do iiit hahah"Comment by MaximusPM"Note that the Battle for Azeroth seasonal mounts will not be added to the saddle vendor until sometime after the conclusion of the final Battle for Azeroth PvP season."

So that means we will still be able to get them after the season ends, right?Comment by Doom5I'm glad to hear that more ways to earn a Vicious Saddle will be added. :) Always seemed very difficult to earn one.
And those mounts are soooooo cool!Comment by KorijenkinsTying the mounts to each season while also making them available after BfA is a fine compromise.

Wheres the “Veteran of the Alliance” and “Veteran of the Horde” achievement now?Comment by Nekyr"Note that the Battle for Azeroth seasonal mounts will not be added to the saddle vendor until sometime after the conclusion of the final Battle for Azeroth PvP season."

I dont understand yet. Wheres the “Veteran of the Alliance” and “Veteran of the Horde” achievement now?Comment by FaolanHart75 rated battlegrounds.....
Whelp I'm never getting these mounts then.

Its hard enough to get 1 or 2 guildies to do rated arenas. Nevermind a whole BG group.Comment by popjeFinally some communication, thank you.Comment by YulaniWhere in Kultiras was there ever a riverbeast? XD Where the hell is the Horde Riverbeast mount Zandalar has them everywhere.Comment by DairminTying the mounts to each season while also making them available after BfA is a fine compromise.

That is definetly WAY harder to achieve than the previous 100 3v3 wins or the 40 rbg wins.
I only really started (ranked) PvP in BfA and was hoping to finally getting some of those sick mounts through arena (or rbg), but 75 wins is a tough number.
I wonder what the reasoning behind this is since Blizzard stated in June that competing in ANY bracket will help you towards the saddle. I really hope they didn't change their mind and that stupid system "we decide what mount you get", right now the hippo, is the replacement for that.
As someone with no "2.4k xp and 2k cr" it is really hard finding a somewhat decent group where not half the people leave after one loss.Comment by fathom81After the last blue post it seems we still be needing the 75 rbg wins for a saddle :(
Now im pissed i didnt do this on Legion!Comment by grafspe806"Note that the Battle for Azeroth seasonal mounts will not be added to the saddle vendor until sometime after the conclusion of the final Battle for Azeroth PvP season."
