Sarcasm mode off now, I would add one, if I could. One befitting the Summer Festival...
The Quickling Mount! Yes faster than a speeding moped, able to leap brush in a single bound, look scurrying across the land! Imagine you low atop the shoulders of your very own quickling mount!
*offer not available in most regions of the known universe.
But what would you want as a mount?
Jubliee -> wing (fashion)
Celebration -> Sphere (mount)
Summer festival -> Sun (companion)
Kind of in line.
There has been talk about refreshing events though and rotating them in and out for upgrades. I look forward to it when it happens!!
Those with many alts can actually put their alts to good use and farm the event and selling items later. I made a few million ADs selling items from this event.
It is also fun to get a group of friends/guildmate/alliance members for a water balloon fight.
Glad they added the Sun companion instead of more mounts, as this event already have enough.
I also don't understand why you have to be level 40 for this? that is a huge head scratcher. what was wrong with level 15 the way it used to be. having to grind my last alts to 40 is a pia and then I see these poor actual noobs who need the mounts who can't get in. the summer event was what got me hooked on this game a few years ago at the lowest level.. just sayin is all...
Leave it tiny for the Dragonborn and let them travel on their bellies!
Even better, make it 180% speed :-)
> they gave jubilee this year demon wings while given Celebration a new Starry Sphere mount so why cant they not give the summer festival something new as well instead of just slapping us all in the face cause i really had enough of this <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> why i said im not going to do this event if there going to do that not cool
I don't hold back on criticizing Cryptic, and there are years-long-in-existence things in Summerfest that are deserving of criticism. (Ex. The laughably horrendous physics in the sahha ball matches. The suspected bug in match rewards. The abysmal odds of getting a mithril ticket, etc.) However, the inclusion of a new companion that has *the* best companion enhancement (i.e. Potent Precision), and the not useless stat combination of Accuracy & Deflection (this will be more useful for some than others yet that rings true of all slotted comp. stat combos) is not "a slap in the face," even if it may not be what you were hoping for.
If you are short on Accuracy this new companion is a solid addition, and even more so once we factor in the Potent Precision. If none of that appeals to you, well, watermelon sorbet & caprese material farming is still highly useful, and can earn you some AD on AH too, if you're so inclined.
I like a lot of stuff I can get in there and several things are (for once!) not bound. Find alli groups to receive ticket balls on your main toon and share on your alts. Splash ancient friends (enemies) with some water. Report flower thieves. Life's good.
Anyone else notice the Hot Pink flail snail in PE? I am trying to figure out if its me or its a new mount. I am on the summer flail snail in case your curious. Cryptic, can we get this now that I found it?
Edit: never mind. It is not.
The name of it is "Neverwinter Commoner" while the other snail in display has the proper name "Forest Flail Snail".
