Yeah, kind of annoying how if you don't have a 110% purchased mount you might as well not even try to get any of the rewards from the new zone. Super fun chasing everyone down only to see the dragon go down in under 5 seconds before I can even get to it. Free mounts might as well be walking.

The biggest problem with this is if the red dies all the dragons respawn.
If you have a slow mount, I'd suggest being at the white at 45mins and then goto the red and wait for the zerg to arrive or possibly the blue, since the distance from blue to red is not too far.
The other option is to save up AD, convert to Zen and by an account wide purple mount thats 110% speed.
If you level a new character to 20 and open the goody box, you usually get a 20% off mount discount card. Combining the discount with a mount on sale can net you a account wide purple mount around 1800 zen.
Sadly thats 900k AD. Which would mean you would need to cap you conversions for about 38 days.
I'm fully aware of the options on how to get one of the mounts I'm just irritated that a cash shop item is the deciding factor in your rewards in module 5.
I knew people would reply with it being totally fine that a $25 cash shop item locks out F2P players from Module 5 content. After all, if we slow-mount folks can't participate guess who gets better chances at the drops?
Give it a few days and there will be fewer people swarming the dragons.
At the end of the day, I have no problem with people who support the development of the game having some benefits.

You can farm the AD and get the $25 Zen mount for free. but it will take time on your part. I know many FTP ppl who have gotten their mounts. It is not an impossible undertaking. If you choose to be on the slower mount then you must accept that fact.
Fair enough. At the moment it seems like I just need to be a bit more particular about which zone I'm in just before the event starts. The 110% zerg is also probably due to TR's being able to solo them in a few seconds by themselves with certain stacking abilities.
I don't know who you meant by "people who support the development". Is everybody using the same skill doing the same amount of damage or just certain groups are dealing more damages doing the same things? And how do you know who "support" the development, and with what? Money or more time playing?
When I started playing this game there was a similar situation when GWFs were able to kill bosses in a few seconds and everybody was crying exploits. I did not hear anybody saying the same "let it slide since these guys support the development and should receive more benefits than the others" back then, why should some people receive more benefits than the others now?
I could understand if you complained about "cannot farm all dragons at the same time but I want it" *foot stamp on floor*.
But it is easy to get to at least one dragon, most probably 2 or 3.
What does having "Great Success" to do with a T3 mount?
You might get less chances at great success, but each quarter to the hour even an unmounted GF with injured legs can get "great success" on the dragon where he starts.
I don't deny that a mount is beneficial, but "CAN NOT" ... certainly not true.
Considering you might play since April 2013 I wonder why you still do not have a T3 mount.
Please read my post carefully again. I never said you need a T3 mount to get a Great Success. The key words are "too poor".
If someone is too poor to buy a T3 mount, which can be obtained for a little more than 1 million AD like the one currently on sale, logically he does not have good gear to get many Great Successes.
I also never said I don't have a T3 mount.
And if you don't have enough AD how do you plan to refine your artifact equipment which you can get there?
A hearty LOL to the NW team who turned one of the most dangerous and powerful critters in D&D into a 5-7 second kill.
I reckon dynamic scaling events (the more players in an area, the more HP and damaging an encounter is, which makes it challenging for a large group and doable for a small group) is too difficult for the brand of programers this indie game has, but is it that bad to have a modicum of challenge? Make the dragons harder, you know, so they feel like they are dragons. Otherwise why not change the skin to a goat or something? At least we then we can go 'oh yeah, they summoned a goat, pfft, dead already. Dummy cultists'.
I also hope they fix shadow of demise stacking as well.. how can i tell what powers / feats to use other then this if everything is melted
You have 2 tpyes of people PTP and FTP.
Obviously the PTP people have the benefit of getting what they want when they want it.
The FTP people have the benefit of not having to spend money and potentially be far more experienced that PTP people.
FTP can get full T1, T2, IWD, Sharander sets for nothing, but must be prepared to put the time in running campaigns, dungeons, HEs (sorry not a PVPer, but I bet that gear too can be got from running PvP). I've not pushed with the draconic gear, but that's there for the taking too.
FTP people can get T3 mounts - 1 level 20 Leadership using just the 3 level 20 tasks will generate 9600 Rad a day, with the 20% coupon that a toon gets at lvl20 now, a mount costs 1million AD = 104 days, just over 3 months (from getting lvl 20 leadership). If a FTP does it right they can get 19600 RaD a day from leadership. Even without buying any extra slots, everyone starts with 2 toons which brings it down to less than a month to generate 1million AD. Not forgetting those dungeons run to gear up, selling or salvaging the multiple sets of purps t1 & 2 rings and belts, you can get to your max RaD with too much effort. If you really want to put effort into it, you can farm dungeons hard and make shed loads.
FTP can always invest in some new toon slots and get a couple of mules working just leadership and suddenly they find they've a T3 mount all the gear they want or need (at the moment) and not spent a penny of real money.
If they have a tendency towards design, try the foundry I've read some authors make millions.
There really is very little that cannot be got in this game for free, providing people are prepared to wait and work for it. If they aren't prepared to do that, the other options are either pay (but we've established they are too poor) or put up with it. Oh, there's always the forums too...
I don't know, you shouldn't mess with The Cult Of The Slightly Grumpy Goat.
I have a Rank 1 mount.
Got the Stormraider Clydesdale and have never regretted that purchase.
I'm guessing even with Common mounts you shouldn't have too hard a time getting each one, but an epic 110% would still be beneficial.
