Clearing Coil
dropchance like the primal ponies ^^

i'd happily pay in the cash shop like slepnir, it'd make me happy xD then i wouldn't have to do T5 T9 or t13 ever again, and if it was savage T9 congrats they made a mount only like 30 people will ever have.

How do you know it isn't the evolved from of Midgardsormr's new body?

the clear as day allagan tech around its neck and tail is kinda a dead giveaway...

same color palette, wing placement everything!

Please please no cash shop! I don't care what I have to do ingame to get it as long as it's not a cash shop exclusive.

I could definitely see this as being a new drop for t5 or t13. There are still(bafflingly) many people who haven't made it past t5 yet and a big reason for it is the lack of experienced players going into those fights. Just like with the relic grind and such bringing many experienced and well geared players back into lowbie dungeons this could revive t5 and get new players or those who just can't get past it for whatever reason their clears so they can get into more active coil tiers.

HOWEVER! I would prefer the cash shop over the Frontlines or any PvP content, if it's not Coil.

♥♥♥ Gimme gimme gimme! ♥♥♥

There are so many ways that they could implement this as a drop ingame. If its put on the mogstation instead, and is only obtained via the mogstation, I will more than likely quit.

If your serious about this. Then why haven't you quit already?

OMG mount that does the same exact thing as any other flying mount is available only though the cash shop!

But - to the point I was trying to make in my post, which you seem to have overlooked:

There are many ways that they could implement this in game. I think it would be stupid if they chose to release it via the Mogstation.

Call me crazy or something if I don't wanna pay 20$+ for a mount, when there are ways that they would implement or add this as a drop to the game.

I don't want to see any more cash shop exclusives.



Also, I almost didn't purchase HW (I did get it on Monday) at all and seriously contemplated it for a long time because of how I felt about the cash shop items they added into 2.0 and how they practically nerfed the entire game - when a lot of people who played at launch put hours and hours into content, that people who only 3 months later could completely face-roll blind. I could go on on about whether or not I wanna continue playing at all, but I'm not doing that here. I'm a FF fan, and that's why I'm currently here.

that said: If I feel that cash shop exclusive items "cheapen" the game to me, than so be it.

Everyone comes and goes for their own reasons, at their own time. For me, the continuous progression or addition to cash shop exclusive items/bonuses are going to ruin my fun.

At least offer the shit ingame.

Didn't really care about the fact that Sleipnir was a cash shop onry either. didn't like the mount, and was fine with it even though they could have just put it in the trial. If they choose to add twin to the cash shop, then so be it. will probably be my only major purchase besides fantasia bottles. I was never against the cash shop in the first place anyway. I am however against the notion of the cash shop becoming too big. this is a P2P game after all. most, if not all of the content should be in game, and not behind a cash shop pay-wall. that's what the sub is for. If the publisher wants a cash shop, there isn't much we can do about it besides un-sub en-masse (which accomplishes little), which is why i am fine with it as long as it stays small.

i don't understand how having items being sold in the cash shop that have no effect in game play what so ever besides to look pretty can cheapen a game, it doesn't move any faster, it doesn't give you any stat boosts, it doesn't do anything at all besides look pretty. if it did then yeah.... that does kinda cheapen the game, but it doesn't do any of that. what i do know is that the money they get from selling said item will help pay for the cost to develop more meaningful in game content. because people don't work for free.

might as well not have a collectors edition because the griffon is a collectors edition exclusive instead of having to face roll the griffon boss a ton of times mindlessly for a 5% chance to have a 1/8 chance of getting him.

because we all know that mindlessly spamming the same thing over and over and over enhances everyone's FFXIV experience.

the sub is to allow you to play the game. nothing more.

cumulatively, across all subs. they aren't 100% profit. a lot of the money gets funneled back into development.

if that weren't the case, they would have gone with a pure profit model that would generate as much money as possible...and piss off a lot of players in the process.

How I see cash shop that is not P2W (in a P2P game).

I buy food (playtime) each month so I can live (play).
But oh my, that candy bar (cash shop item) looks delicious. Do I feel that it is worth the little extra so I can have it?

It is in no way a must to have it, but if you might want that little extra is all up to you.

Please try not to derail the thread guys.

And heeeeell no I would not take in in the cash shop over pvp (which I have attempted like 5 or 6 times or something and only remember exists because of the delicious glamour). I may not be a pvper but I would 10/10 rather have it come from pvp where I'll know it's there for me to get if I put in enough work versus in the cash shop for 2 months worth of subscription money.

I agree that it's likely not Twintania herself but it looks just like her for sure!

Wouldn't mind if it is. I already have my Coil and tank achievements except for the Warrior's bear mount so farming T5 to work towards 2 mounts (the bear and the dragon) would be nice.

I got some bad news for you (or good if you like it, like me).

It comes from Frontlines - 500 wins.

And... do you have a source for this bit of information to back up your claims?

I guess they want to ensure that only a small portion of the playerbase get it?
IMO its a stupid decision. How many people even bother with PvP anyway?(Correct me if im wrong, but im pretty sure that most players don't even bother with PvP..)

I think it's to get more people to do PVP, than to lower how many get the mounts.

This might surprise you, but a lot of players in PVP (even the good ones) get frustrated by these mounts, because of one fact which is the incredibly stupid and game-breaking GC restriction that ties players to a closed group of teammates vs competitors. Do the people in your GC suck hardcore? Well, better plan on playing an additional 1,000 matches to get enough first place wins for this mount, vs. someone in a different GC that can earn their mount 3x as fast, even having 1/3 the skil. You can influence the success/failure of your party to a large degree, but that of your GC-based alliance to a much lesser degree. 'Switch GC's then where better players are!' might seem the obvious answer... but yeah to make this problem even worse, that starts your progress over at 0.

I finally got my ADS mount and could start focusing more on enjoying the game itself vs. feeling pissed off and screwed over and cheated every time I queued for an hour just to get a really crappy alliance that didn't know or care what they were doing, and with the knowledge that if I were to queue up again I'd get pretty much the same teammates who lost before, showing up over and over to get farmed by another GC for their mounts.

Yeah this is also my problem too. I really really want GC War Horse and ADS Mount, but my win only 80 because sometimes I get crappy alliance.

well if your part of the pre-mades from gilgamesh grats on your new mounts and if your failstrome or wood whiners (both said BY THERE OWN TROOPS) you will never see this :\

i have done over 500 frontline matches, and only won 60 of them because of pre-made groups (or alliances who just give up) so yea only a small group is going to get what would be a brilliant mount so i am quite annoyed and very sad that a brilliant mount is behind a very moronic lock. :\

i am relying on 7 to 23 random people up to 500+ times to get me a mount, and its only proving how stupid that is, :\

really nice mount!! yay!!

if it is pvp then gl to any trying for it! :)

(my mount collecting days are over as wows 240 so far has burned me out of that obsession in other games arghh lol)

If this is actually a 500 FL wins mount, then I'm jumping for joy... because the moment I get on I'll be grabbing this (or having to do a match like I did with ADS to refresh the achievement status).

Regardless if it is or not though, I'll be hunting this beauty down no matter the requirement.

whats the clear rate on t5?

t13 is 5% right... im sure t5 is not far behind, that seems like a small enough portion to me >.>

Would be really cool if this would be a PvP reward :D

according to that JP player survey a month back on average T5 is past 40% cleared so its not a small group T13 is a super small group tho.



and know what screw the pvp rewards :\ make it a cash shop item at least then people can actually GET the mount rather then just the extremely small amount :/ 300 is a bloody stretch and if they do want to add things to pop do it after 4 weeks when theres going to be a major patch FOR PvP

Just my two cents. I've got to agree with what was said before; I'll gladly pay for this before seeing it in Frontlines. I love PVP, but frontlines is not enjoyable, and not worth that kind of time. With a trained enough group you could clear T5 faster than get into Frontlines.

Edit: after thinking about it, I'm fine with it being on the cash shop. The fact of the matter is I beat T5, so while I and everyone else will have it (my special snowflake syndrome is hating this logic) I got my clear.

Besides, once I get these last two **** ponies Kirin will be my special snowflake mount anyway XD

That's what's needed, more people doing things they don't want to do in places they don't want to be.

Coming up next we will have a Nael mount for 1000 wins, a certain bird mount for 3000 wins and a Bahamut mount for 5000 wins, please look forward to it.

Don't see any new mounts from frontlines on garlondtools' datamined achievements, but I could just be blind.

there's an Odin in the game, you get to defeat Odin in the game, there's an Odin mount in the game, you can't fight Odin to acquire his mount in the game.

you don't do the fight more than the 1 time for yourself and maybe the 2 or 3 more times for your friends.

that cheapens the game.

meaningful in game content should be supported by the subscription cost in a subscription based game.

i'm not even against the cash shop. if they want to make a Dhalmel mount exclusively for the cash shop and take that in as pure profit, i'm okay with that. repurposing already existing in-game elements and charging for it is not the same thing.

I will agree with you about the Odin fight. I enjoy that fight, but there's no real reason to do it again other than to help people clear it. Don't care for the drops, or the bickering. Would have been awesome if his mount dropped though =D
