...ofc, or do you really think mama T. rex could lay house-sized eggs???
kek.
Juveniles aside, the Tyrannosauroids started out quite small too. An early "basal" species, the Dilong Paradoxus, was roughly the size of a largish bird for example.

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~
I still play STO, and now just like NWO, I dont spend a dime on either of them. Keep supporting them mate, you keep the lights on.
After FUBAR 6 I only frequent the Forums and await *whispers* fight club.

I may go as far as to say this is the DUMBEST item to ever roll out in this games history.
It is ATLEAST on par with: Tenebrous, Emblem, Artifact Equipment.
Why?
Because it now becomes mandatory for pvp.
+140% movement and MOST important is the 4k run speed. That 10% is HUGE!
I could be fine with +140% and the incombat action. But 4k movement.... thats really the DUMBEST thing ever.
We better get upgrade kits to upgrade our old mounts otherwise this is just yet another nail in the coffin. GG guys, seriously.... Who thinks of these things or is this just the newest "cash grab" your trying?
Very bad move overall.. massive mistake on thier end.
if..if they put epic level 10% on already bought items, I would be at least ok, so its par for par.
Wow.. just wow.
Who is the moron who thought this was a acceptable practice.
I certainly hope, but rather doubt they will, Retrofit all previous mounts (especially those store bought or found in chest) I just happened to be lucky enough to get a previously gold rare mount from a chest and now its not as good as the "new" gold mounts from chests. I'm sorry but they should make all god mounts the same all purple, all blue etc. Add same speed and battle features. I have spent a fortune on other munts cause I like my people to have different mounts based on the type of character I build, and now all this is waistd and penalized because they will be penalized for using these mounts compared to the new ones. I love this game and have spent a small fortune on it, but with every update and "news" you keep getting more money grubby and greedy!!! You are driving this game into the ground rather than making if more fun!!! And I am sure there will be people who somehow take advantage of this and instead of punishing them for it you will end up rewarding them by punishing the rest of the player base that do not cheat!!
Habitat/Society: Giant striders are completely adapted to life in hot, volcanic regions. Their meager diet consists of the few animals and plants that share their hot realm. They are able to directly metabolize the heat of their surroundings, and they use this to fuel their own bodily functions. Without this extra heat, the giant strider grows chilled and sluggish.
Their physiology is so modified that normal conditions are dangerous to them. They are poisoned by ingested water and harmed by cold weather or frigid attacks.

Don't hold your breath. Remember Draconic Templar armor? That stuff we had to grind in Tiamat endless times to get? That stuff that was from truly end-game content? That stuff that had been out for only three months? And then...poof! It's obsolete, just like that.
That was a terrible way to treat your players.

Seems like more corporate psyops to me. Go in with a 'leaked' outrageously unsatisfactory proposal, let the ensuing outrage and anxiety fester for a while, come back with a slightly more moderate proposal that we would never have initially dreamed of accepting quietly. Magically people feel like the company has done them a favour whilst eating their cr@p sandwich. I have spent a decent amount on this game (far more than my wife would like, anyway). But I have no trust left in this project (and ergo the companies involved) and hope they realise this has a huge influence on my future gaming decisions.
This mount needs to be sold in the zen store. The demand is gonna be 10000 higher than the supply.
Even if they did this I'd still be outraged by this but it would at least make it slightly more palatable , I fee sorry for the poor suckers who buy a zen store mount the days before these new mounts are released , 'oh thanks for your $40 yesterday but got some sad news for you , your epic mount is now obsolete...'.

Or even worse, the guys who paid 15k zen for the spider mount in the packsale they just had...
So they just had a sale on cool packs with rank3 mounts like the spider mount in the 15k zen pack or the Dawn unicorn mount in the pack for 6k zen. Lets be honest, the pack contains some other stuff too but the mounts are like the primary reason for buying them. At least for me.
And now, a few days later they announce a new BiS rank4 mount that will be very much needed.
So is it just me, or does this feel like a rippoff? It does for me. Does a refund or an upgrade for my 15k zen mount sound reasonable?
Chance of you getting a refund from other gaming companies: unlikely.
Chance of you getting a refund from PWE: the same chance as hell freezing over
We don't know how it will work out thouhg, for example if there's a tome (though even a tome will be a pain and make customisation harder than it is now providing it won't unlock all mounts to be 140% speed +movespeed. You're essentially locked to the one mount.
The way they are introducing the new mount is very badly thought out , at worst an account wide cash shop legendary alternative with the increased 140% , +4000 movement and attack should be made available , forcing anybody who wants one of the new mounts into gambling in order to try to get one reeks of desperation on Cryptics part .

Quick question. Why would you spend $60-200 for just an account-wide unlock mount. If you just need the utility, you could've gotten the same functionality for 2500 ZEN (or less if you can get a coupon from a level 20 character).
Anyone who bought the packs PURELY because of the R3 mount didn't make a very good decision, even outside the fact that we're seeing T4 mounts on the horizon.
Anyway, outside of that, yes, having the T4 mount only available from a cash box, with a ridiculously low chance to drop? That's a bad idea and it bothers me. Hopefully they have plans to allow T3 mounts to be upgraded via AD in game, or add new T4 mounts (or upgrade tokens) to the Zen store.
The coupon wouldn't have worked, he would have complained, and a mod would have moved it to the abyss for violating tos. I've actually read the tos and it's so broad in its interpretation of the rules that everything that has ever been posted has been in violation. Even the mods replies and this post too.
...oh, well. IMHO that's just Cryptic's way of suckering the high end contributors into donating a high end random amount of their hard earned. The pack deals are a completely different thing, the mounts there are only part of the bundle, and the companions included in the packs are what really makes the value - as those are normally single-char-only.

Ive noticed you can search mythic in the auction house too, don't be surprised if you see some mythic stuff coming out of lockboxes soon

Giant Strider is a canonical mount for the Firenewt.

So now this game is really p2w. The mount is gonna go for 20m AD in AH atleast for months since everyone is gonna want them.
This mount needs to be sold in the zen store. The demand is gonna be 10000 higher than the supply.
