Make T4 Zen mounts with +200% run speed increase!

Okay, so I play a lot of pvp and I am usually near the top.

Lately, however, I have noticed a small number of free players with T3 mounts which were acquired via large amounts of exploited AD.

It was obvious that free players were not supposed to catch up to paying players this quickly.

Now I do not expect them to do a wipe, as they have made it clear that they will not. So I have come up with a better solution. They should put in T4 mounts in the Zen shop that have +200% run speed that cost around 20,000 Zen.

This would also be a good way for Cryptic to make more money so that the game will keep doing well, because they are a business after all.

The only people that might be upset about this are free players, but they are not paying money anyways and Cryptic would be better off without them. Plus, the run speed is not that big of a deal in pvp so anyone complaining about it should just learn2play.

I believe this to be the best solution for a good company that makes a good game and has good money systems so that they continue to do good.

    Amusing, and a little sad. I kid, it's very sad.

    f2p games rely on free players. Without free players who will the people with cash sell their Zen to? Or the simple fact that a free player probably got friends to play and they spend, but if they weren't playing then his friends wouldn't have bothered to play, resulting in a drop in customers. Also the mounts do make a difference in PvP, free mount you are knocked off easily and cna't escape, plus the time saved running back and forth.

    PvP mounts should be armored to allow you to take more damage before being knocked off, however all that extra armor should make the mount *slower* than an unarmored mount.

    Counter-troll complete!

    Only I'm not trolling. Armored mounts really *should* be slower than unarmored mounts. Let's see *you* strap on half your weight in steel and win a footrace against someone naked!

    While we are at it, let's get some $50 T4 companions that make the current $30-35 T3 companions obsolete. Then two months later release T5 companions and mounts for $60-70 so that free players are perpetually trying to keep up :o.






    :rolleyes:

    D&D Levels go from levels 1-30 and we cover levels 1-20. There is still levels 21-30 or 61-90 as far as we are concerned. It is known as Epic Destiny. So it is extremely possible that Rank 4 mounts will be in the game eventually, but it could be years before we see them.

    I'd rather Cryptic make all mounts the same speed in pvp. And, taking away the ability to mount while being attacked. A few seconds after you leave combat would be nice. A wizard blinking four times and mounting, with about 200 hp, should be dead. They should not be able to get on a horse to get away just because they ran away faster than others. Or, evening out the sprint/blink/tumble.
    TL : DR? Then don't waste my time responding.

    They should remove mounts from pvp altogether

    It seems as OP is in some kind HAMSTER conclusion that F2P players should not be able to get epic zen mounts.
    If OP is looking for truly P2W game try any of korean F2P games.

    Didn't exploit any AD, and I've earned enough zen via the exchange to buy a T3 mount and more. And that's without selling purples on the auction. Having a T3 mount just means you know how to make AD in this game.

    (note: I didn't buy that T3 mount yet, there were other things I wanted first. But I could have if I wanted to.)

    You know gamers are the same. No matter time nor place they don't understand that some of us are going to make some mistakes.

    So to you, all the gamers like me all across the internet, there's no need to argue.

    Some gamers just don't understand.

    Who even uses a mount in this game not like you have a world to play in. OMG I have to run across a small zoned instance for 5min wish I had a mount so I could ride across in 4min. LOL!!!!! Gamers today suck!

    Worst Idea ever.

    Although I do like the PVP mount idea. Make special PVP mounts that you can buy with Glory (20k?) That are +say 65% run speed (less than the 80%) that takes MUCH MUCH more to get knocked off with. You can make them PVP only if youd like, or I dont see why not make them open to anyone...

    15% run speed is a fair price to pay for less knock off, People will still want their T3 mounts because, however, for most players, I would see them saving glory for PVP mounts...

    Ehh. An in-game mount is only 5 gold. Most players will have made that much gold by level 20 or before.
