First impression: CTA Pit Fight

edited November 2013 in General Discussion (PC)
Did 5 times so far, here are some of my thoughts:

1. Slightly laggy (as usual)
2. Pretty straight forward and easy
3. Love, Love, Love the new dye color! :D
4. Got an orb skin for my CW... Love the design!

Will be doing nothing except CTA till it ends :D

Good job Devs!

    Neat! Are you able to post a screenshot of the Orb?

    Thanks!

    What's the stats on mount? Same as newbie

    Its an alright event. It gives us a chance to catch up on skirmishes and gives new enchants for those that like them.
    Some of my feedback:
    1) The lag sucked earlier but I guess thats to be expected when everyone's playing it
    2) People kept getting kicked from the group when queueing. Stop that! It's happened in pvp too. Maybe because the queue system matches us up with a 'better' group matchup. If we're premade this should not happen >.>
    3) The shadow wolf mount looks cools but:
    i) It's bound, can't even transfer it to other characters
    ii) It costs just under 3m to upgrade it to epic thats like 7500zen atm. Seriously wtf, reduce that already... And that's if I want to upgrade it for 1 character...

    Yeah, its a green level mount, which is the same as the white newbie horses. It's also BoP. Yup.

    Mount = Free!

    What, did you think they'd make it so you could upgrade it for cheaper than a Zen mount? That's called losing money.

    There is a difference between an upgrade process being cheaper than Zen, and costing three times as much as a Zen mount. And that's ignoring the fact that upgrading is for a single mount on a single character. While the Zen mount is account-wide at 1/3 the cost.

    *All that said, I'm still thinking about paying to upgrade the Shadow Wolf if I manage to get one. It just looks that awesome.*

    Mounts that every character you ever make can have. You're right though, they would lose money if they reduced it from what it is now. But, then again, they've adapted to non-use in the refinement system for unslotting and raising your enchantment ranks higher by making it far more affordable to do it. Added in an extra hoop, sure, that can be completed for free as well, but eh.

    Either way, my point behind that is that there may be a chance that they'll start doing that for other things such as mount and companion upgrades, as getting a smaller amount of income over a longer amount of time will pay off far better for profits than people only testing it on the preview, for free, to see if its worth while then deciding against it for the most part, which winds up earning much lower profits. (all anecdotal, here, but over all this has been my general census of those situations.)


    edit: sorry for the slight hi-jack. i look forward to doing this CTA tonight when I'm off work!

    I'm not sure I get the idea behind it. CtA is actually the one event that can hardly (or cannot) be botted and you make the premier prize BoP? That's interesting. I have to say though that off the top of my head all mounts (minus lockboxes) in comparable situations have been BoP, companions BoE.

    I doubt it. There's a very small number of people who'd actually consider upgrading any of the mounts I imagine... Those people that see it for the ridiculousness that it is may be put off from the game entirely. I know that I'm wondering whether it was worth getting involved in playing.

    Well <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>. Not into this event then. Was hoping to sell the mount unless it was better than my newb horse, then I'd use one, sell the others if I got more. The dye hardly changes my gear lol. I'm a rogue. Runes? Think I'm better off with the standard ones with higher armor pen, or higher movement speed. Glory smory.

    I like the event so far. What I don't like: it's pretty laggy and often disconnects people - not good.

    Also, I don't like this new BoP with a lot of those new event rewards. I wouldn't mind if the things were account-bound, that would be fine.
    But not char-bound.

    I really like the event , the dye pack is pretty decent and so many enchantments drop lol but what I want is that mount , its the first 50% mount I have seen that I would seriously consider upgrading , it looks awesome.

    The only things I dislike are -
    1) The lag at first was dreadful although that seems to have sorted itself out now.
    2) Dye only stacks to 20 still , I still have almost 3 20 stacks of dye from a previous CtA , how about making it at least 100 devs?
    3) Mount is BoP .... WHY??? I REALLY wanted one for my Ranger , guess I will have to wait ... sheesh

    Other than those 3 niggles a nice event , thanks devs .

    You're right, all event mounts have been BoP and the event companions BoE, to date.

    As such, it appears that is the decided standard for them.

    I feel like those CTAs could be abit better adapted to lower levels - sure, they get hit for as much as highest levels, but their hp is much lower so the impact is completely different.

    This CTA is terrible! I cannot believe it is so hard to get a mount! At least with the prior event you could earn a companion by playing, the more you played the closer you got. This is worse than the lottery! 25 times and no mount, just junk: transforms that do not stack and take up space, and dyes!

    Wow that is weird. I NEVER get anything good from lockboxes, etc.
    My luck sucks, yet both of my characters got the mount on the
    first try! But the mount sucks because you can't sell it, and it costs
    a fortune to upgrade it, so you are not missing anything.

    This CTA.. Its was fun at first, now its boring trying to farm the mount - Terrible RNG luck sucks :c
    One thing though, my ignore list has grown quite a bit thanks to this CTA. Ive noticed A LOT of lower level players who just sit in the back and dont even attack, im sorry but if im the group leader, youre getting kicked. I ended up in a lower level group, me being the only 60 and everyone else was fighting with me, then i notice this one CW just standing around in the back.. yeah no.
    Then the rediculous amount of repel / divinity sunburst.. as a CW who just gathered up the mobs to hit with my SoTEA its frustrating.
    Guess ill just be sticking to guild runs or just one single farm group for now.
