Open Discussion - Legendary Mounts

drago#3250 drago Member Posts: 190 Arc User
Hello,
I want start open discussion to the community - What do you think about the costs for Legendary Mounts? We talk about multiple hundred days in AD earn. In special for example the War Triceratops I just saw 45.000.000 in cost, now it's a bit cheaper - a real bargain for 19.000.000 AD. While there are multiple 10K Power Mounts there is only one HP Mount and to be IC ready you better need the War Triceratops. There is a shortage of IC ready tanks. These days start one, you must be crazy.
What do you think about the prices? There was a discussion about the odds, but there was no solution presented by Cryptics.

    The price of the triceratops is caused by the fact people dont open lockboxes that contain it or the pack that its in amd that its the only bis choice for tanks.
    But you absolutely do not need it to tank ic, as long as you have the defensive stats capped and like 550k something hp you re golden

    If you are in a position where a legendary mount is a good investment then 19 million AD is not that big of a deal especially when you consider that HP is the best mount bonus you can take on any support build and is more then viable on a DPS as well.

    The cost/price is defined by the buyer and seller.
    Is it worth it is defined by the buyer.
    In my opinion, it is not worth it unless you are already BiS in other areas.
    On the other hand, if you are already BiS in other areas, the percentage of improvement of a Legendary mount is relatively lower.
    How much HP does a legendary War Triceratops give? I think it is 16K.
    How much HP does an Epic War Triceratops give? I think it is 8K.
    What is the price difference between Epic and Legendary? Is it 19 million?
    19 million for 8K HP?

    I don not use the War Triceratops, but I have tanked IC without deaths countless times. Wasting 45 mil on a mount you do not need, when you can easily use those millions to build a proper tank sounds stupid to me.

    The numbers you are looking for is 50.000 HP at legendary and 25.000 at epic.

    Thanks. So, may be 19 million for 25K HP. For a 500K+ HP build, it is a 5% increase. Is 19 million for 5% a good investment? Depends on the buyer.

    What if they threw in a cape? Now how much would you pay?

    One day you might get lucky and pull a legendary.
    That's the day you stop caring about how expensive they are listed (and sell) for.

    No one "needs" a Legendary mount, many players just "want" them. In most cases the combat affect is inconsequential from what I have witnessed. Cryptic has started a year long program "Hell Pit" to obtain a Legendary mount and they have offered a Legendary mount in the Zen store, but I forget which one they had in there. You asked if we think 20 million AD is too much for a mount. It is my opinion, that $270 worth of Zen to AD for a single mount sounds insane to me! I am clinically insane, so I should know crazy when I see it. But if you desire to buy it for cash or grind rAD for 3 million a month for the next 7 months... I say go for it. <3

    I look at it like anyone person should think about other things and when they reach that point where they can not improve on things like enchants or pets and they have all this AD saved up because well they do not have to waste on stuff like wards or pets then think about a mount.
    Took me a solid 3 years before any of the lockboxes gave me a legendary mount however it was 3 years to late because of how cryptic decided to change all these things.
    Sure its a nice mount but really doesnt do me much good.

    I saved up for three months or so to get my Legendary Mount. I paid about 6 million for an Orange Deepcrow.

    I was so underwhelmed at its performance that I almost cried.

    Never again. The AD would have been better spent on enchant upgrades.

    Looks like common "trap" people attracted to (and understandably, legendary mount are nice).

    I have 2 legendary mounts. One was lucky (from lockbox) and one was purchased from Zen store.
    Both of them are still unbound and in the bank because I don't feel the need and want to keep the option to sell.
    No, I have not equip'ed any legendary mount yet.

    Well, they could just change the bonus of the Golden Warhorse from the Hell Pit event to +HP/+Power, make it account wide, then change the event to a returning one like the Siege of Neverwinter and call it a day.

    Yeah, i know, not going to happen, but with the CDP going on, one starts dreaming of possible changes in NWO...

    Love the idea.

    Never going to happen.

    Is Hell Pit Chapter Two even scheduled?

    I don't think so, the last i read about it was that they wanted to make some changes to it before the next round. I just hope they give the new version enough time on the Preview server...
