+ 4,000 movement on the new mounts

Is this just another way of saying 10% (plus normal 100% movement = 110% speed like old mounts)? Or is this in addition to that movement. Do the new mounts increase our "On Foot" speed?

The way its worded they seem to give the normal 110% movement speed while mounted, but an additional 10% movement speed when on foot
^rotflmfao^
The epic version Giant Strider doesn't appear to have the movement. Only the legendary Armored Giant Strider.
Both come from the new Eternal Flame lockbox.
Can we upgrade our existing Mounts to Legendary and gain the +4,000 movement? What about upgrading an account wide mount to legendary? Will the +4,000 movement be account wide along with the mount?

Making an extremely rare item available only to the very rich (or potentially to the very lucky) give a tangible benefit over every other mount... not remotely cool.

It would be amazing if PvP was so well-balanced in this game that 10% movement speed actually made a difference.
Sadly, they probably will not let us upgrade mounts, certainly at least not at first. People who spend a ton of RL money on getting the very best items (especially PVPers, who I'm sure would love the +10% run speed bonus) are who they love to cater to. HOPEFULLY we will eventually get the ability to upgrade our current mounts to rank 4 - but probably not until the revenue from the Wallet Warriors is starting to dry up.
10% makes a huge difference when trs can already run faster than epic mounts.
Exactly what I was thinking. . .
There are so many much larger issues than a 10% run speed increase . . .

I have a TR that has "ok" run speed and it is nowhere close to the speed of an epic mount.
Seems like it would be a waste of valuable stats to dump heavily on movement . . .

You realise that if no-one says anything, this is just the beginning. And of course you're unable to discuss it on the forums because "ohmergerd, you said p2w". If this got enough monetary support, we're just going to keep getting 1/5000 drop rate perks. No guarantee they'd work though since I believe metallic dragonborn still doesn't so even with a more disposable income it's not a great investment.
10% should not be underestimated, and there's still the question of if the active works in pvp.
I understand, but I still think this issue is not near as important as several other big issues with the game, at least with respect to PvE.

1. Is these feature getting added to all mounts or just legendary?
2. If so, what are the differences?
3. Usable in pvp?
4. Can we upgrade our current zen mounts to have this feature?
5. If so will we need to upgrade each character's mount? or buy an account-wide unlock? (I bet i know the answer to that one)
6. Will different mounts get unique bonus? IE +movement vs +AOE resist etc
Right now everyone is in the dark
Doesn't matter either way tbh, the moderators have made it perfectly clear that they think most of the issues should be completely down to cryptic/pwe and that players should just deal with it instead of suggesting areas to improve upon. Obviously these issues are ignored because almost 2 months in we still have complaints over the new module and issues persisting in game.
For me at least, it isn't necessarily about power creep, but it is the principle of the thing. There are other Legendary mounts, not to mention other 'lesser' levels, that haven't gained anything that people have also spend money on. When it was just for looks, FX when 'saddling up', and 'status' of having a legendary, I did not care. I've not bought a single mount, just what comes with the packs, but it is the principle of this that disappoints me.

Upgrading your existing mounts to do something new is not how they will generate more money. FACE IT. Your old mounts will be obsolete by the time Mod8 rolls around. You can make 50 more mount threads and they will amount to NOTHING because your complaints will be like rubber balls bouncing off a wall.
MONEY. That's how this works. You want the new mount stats? Then buy the new mounts when they are in the zen store or keys to unlock boxes where you have a 00.1% chance to get it. Eventually the new mounts will be the standard but as of now, they are making a bunch of hairy-back bucktoothed players salivate and this is how they make the rest of the player base want one.
As of now, your only options are:
1) spend a ridiculous amount of money on zen for keys for that stat mount
2) wait longer until another stat mount is available in the zen store and spend a silly amount on it
3) wait even longer until stat mounts are the norm for mounts
4) complain here with others which the results you get would be the same as peeing in the wind
I have a feeling they will add this feature to all mounts to varying degrees. IE legendary will have the most stats, then epic, then rare
Any way to make yet another dime apparently, too bad they cant even make a reason to actually play the game!
