The "Rank 4 Mount" Feedback Thread

edited June 2015 in General Discussion (PC)
I uploaded a short video related to the Armored Giant Strider which is a very interesting mount because it comes with new mechanics like "Use in combat" and extra speed mov for your character.

You will be able to see these features in the video. Remember that this might not be the final product, according to the devs it might change visually or even some of the mechanics.

In my personal opinion, I'm highly expecting for a Mount Book IV to be released so we can upgrade our previous mounts to Rank 4 as well. Maybe not every mount is going to be able to attack but the bonus speed either riding or for our character are very nice.

Now, enjoy this ugly naked chicken.

    Interesting, unless +3 to +4 Mount Upgrade Books come out for our existing Rank 3 Mounts, I feel like this could cause some controversy.

    Only the Orange / Legendary Strider seems to be +140%, the Epic Purple Strider still seems to be +110%.

    I'd rather they retroactively upgraded existing legendary.

    But as as if that'll happen. lol

    And Mount visual enchantment slots where we can make out mount into a vorpal mount or a terror mount.

    They will probably add the mount training books.
    They need the AD. I dont think they will miss that kind of the opportunity. :P

    A potential better mount. I don't really see any issue with new stuff. What we have is staying the same.

    That said, it would be nice if they upgraded existing legendary mounts, and added the movement speed to others, or at least all epic mounts, and added another tier of upgrade tomes.

    i would like to upgrade the blue ones to purple, after the new legendary is out.

    Also, now the blue and red dragon will be considered old..only 110 % speed. And they did cost a lot.



    it gives you 5000 zen + 300 bonus.

    So 5300 so around 30 bucks for a mount then?

    If it's just pocket change for you to buy a mount, would you please buy me one of the new legendary ones when they come out? :)
    Not really but this is a F2P game, and yeah they need to make money from something, and yeah the normal 30 dollars(if 30 dollars is to much for you, you should probaly play less and work more:)) mount have been BIS for almost 2 years, so tbh i am surprised they havent introduced faster mounts before this. And it is not like your purple mounts will become worse with the introduction of the new mounts..

    i checked .
    Purple mounts right now :
    shadow wolf : 4k //
    dusk uni. : 4K //
    Giant crab : 3.5K //
    white tiger : 3.5k //
    heavy howler : 3,5k //
    heavy worg : 3,5k //
    armored bear : 3.5k //
    leopard of chult : 3k //
    stormrider : 2.5k //

    I can not see the guard drake. But i think it was 5k when i bought it...some time ago..

    If 5300 is 50 dolars, and the most expensive mount right now is uni and wolf for 4k.
    Then you ll be left with 1k zen or to say 250k ad. <<

    Shocking fact, a free to play game needs stuff for people to spend money on....

    ROFL - excellent comment.

    I like the fact that your mount can now do something other than disappear when you dismount. I've wanted mounts to be able to do at least one attack for a long time.

    I do wonder if the movement bonus will apply in PvP though. . .

    The Community Team just received a memo that we're allowed to pass along about the lockedbox issue:

    "The release of the lockbox this week was not intended. We’re not going to take it away from anyone or force-bind anything to anyone’s accounts. Players have to keep in mind that the lockbox was not ready to be released, the development was not complete, particularly the mount. We can view it as a prototype version (which will turn into the final version when it all goes live)."

    They're advising folks to be patient until the box's actual release.

    So hopefully the end result of this mount won't be that bad, or they will retroactively change all epic and legendary mounts to work similarly.

    I wouldn't hold my breath on that, though I'm cautiously hopeful also.

    But the *real& question is this: If they release a "Mount Training IV" will be be in-gamr AD cost, or Zen Market only?

    Star Trek Online did something similar with Starships (not actually a "mount" but similar) - and the upgrades are 700 Zen and *still* doesn't give the "new" features. This is epic is epic fail after I've already spent 2500 Zen (in some cases a lot more on bundles). I quit STO when that happened, even though I have a lifetime account.

    Yes I do bring this up every chance I can - not to inform you, dear player, but to hopefully ensure the Devs see it. It is deal-breaking. And I still buy Zen for Neverwinter. Don't give me a reason to stop.

    Hopefully Neverwinter doesn't go that route. If they do offer an upgrade - it may give a stat, but not have the Artifact aspect. Fine, we can deal with that. But if it becomes a Zen Market thing, well... ~cough~

    well what i think would be fair is a token for like 700 zen to have both movement and upgraded 140%.
    No damage.
    i would be ok to do this for every char too.
    i say no damage and for every char because for now this new mount is lockboxes only

    Personally, if they're going to start adding trinket effects to mounts, all mounts should be getting some sort of effect. I'm fine with lower quality mounts having a lesser effect, but to leave it to one mount denies the 99.999% of the players who will never get an AGS a pretty significant ability.

    Everyone has the ability to get a lvl 70 main hand and off-hand weapon, and multiple trinket artifacts. Not everyone can get an AGS, simply through scarcity. Besides, mixing and matching effects could lead to more mount upgrade books being sold (yay! AD sink) - maybe the Frost Wolf gets a cone effect freeze, the Leopard gets an AoE roar, the Gelatinous Cube could get an immobilize.... Point is, people could pick the power that suits their play style, and upgrade if / when it suits them (like their artifacts).

    If you watch Laz's video, it works like a doohickey. You use the mount and it deals some damage and goes on cooldown. Kinda neat, and far from the most worrying thing about this mount.
