wow How the Secret Hivemind Mount Works

[Stan 5,240]

Celestalon clarified in a series of tweets how the secret The Hivemind mount works.

The multi-person capability is a special perk for the Hivemind group (the 5 people you last completed it with) and the final ritual is what establishes the link. Each player in a said group increases the mount's speed by 10% (Joined Hivemind). If you completed the final puzzle with a random group, you will need to complete it again with a different group for the speed bonus.

Check out the guide over at Warcraft Secrets if you still haven't obtained the mount.

Well that’s dreadful.

SUCH BULLCRAP!  we have 2 seater mounts with no restrictions, we have 3 seater mounts with no restrictions, what the hell is 2 more players gonna hurt to make it 5! I mean sure sure you have to have found the mount in order to join into another one, but this restriction of  "(the 5 people you last completed it with)"  is just silly!

I mean....this is a bit awkward, isn't it? As i understand, you can transport only other members who finished the ritual last with you. So it means this mount is worth less than any other transport mount because only this 4 people can join your mount?

Why not just letting 5 people join and increase travel speed for each person? Why does it matter if you finished the ritual? How is that a good design? I mean i fully agree, it has to be limitted...well it would be quite funny a whole raid pops out of the mount ? . But really, just the 5 people who last finished the ritual with you?

This feels like it was designed to be a mythic+ mount, for dedicated groups of people who run together on a consistent basis, trying to push keys.

Am I mistaken in that you can mount with 5 people with no limitation, but the extra 10% per person is only granted when it is those who completed the ritual with you?

It looks that way, I had the same thought but the tooltip reads: "joins with the target, a member of your hivemind" and "other members of your hivemind may join you".

 

This suggests it's a single seater for anyone else

Last night doing exped's and random things with a few guildies who have not yet gotten this mount were able to mount mine and my gf's hivemind. So I assume that's a bug for them to be able to mount?

Can't we find this mount alone? or do we need a group?

You physically need 5 people in your group for the final stages (suramar and beyond).  Cannot complete it otherwise.

LFG groups abounded last night when I looked, took five minutes to complete a group formup.

SUGGESTIONS:

Red's the costly monocle, couple K gold easy (recommend Vashjir Seahorse!).  Yellow s the biggest PITA with the puzzle in Uldum, Green is easy mode in skyreach, and blue is just lots of hearthstone travelling.

Do as many of the monocles as you are absolutely comfortable with.  the group of 5 needs all 4 monocles total, meaning at least one person needs each color, and a fifth to find the doorway item.

make sure your combat log is on and tracking damage to you only, you need the amount youre hit for, and sifting through it is a pita if its not set up that way.

WOWHEAD guide is highly accurate currently, learn it well!!!

Discord or other voice is super helpful but we did it without just fine.

BE PATIENT.  some steps are confusing AF until you get them figured out in practice.

Just acquired this mount last Saturday with a few Guild Mates of mine.  Had to do the Yellow Monocle.....took me over 2.5 hrs switching all colors to one.  And now I have a worthless 5 seat mount that I and I alone will only use.
