SE please stop making mounts and glams inaccessible

I agree. Change the axolotl to something else then put it in island sanctuary or something. Should of never been the choice to begin with.

According to Lodestone, you were able to get Demi-Ozma. If you can get that, you'll be able to get the Axolotl at some point in the future along with the dyeable gear.

Just to be clear, I'm not trying to say it's a skill issue on your part. I know different types of disabilities create different limitations (being disabled myself). But I don't feel turning special rewards into generic rewards is the right approach.

---

Thanks for noticing, I was incredibly proud of getting Demi-Ozma back then but that was before my condition worsened. Its also worth noting that dying in that battle does not cause the whole team to wipe. **i also wouldn't feel my achievement was worsened if Demi-Ozma wasn't the reward.
"Considering that there are disabled players who are able to successfully tackle Savage" - disability is a very wide range.

But I get your point about visual representations of content completion. The Demi-Phoinix seemed a decent reward choice for P4S given you fight that bird in P3S.

Putting a mount like the axolotl behind something more relevant like ocean fishing does not worsen its value or make it generic.

I am trying to figure out where this assurance that the axolotl mount comes from Savage? There's nothing I can find that provides a definitive link and there are other places it could come from. It could be a mount from the Island that unlocks only after you hit the new max level just like the Garlond GL-II was. It could also come from the V&C Dungeons set to come out with patch 6.45 as rewards for those were also shown off in the live letter.

Eventually, the raid will get old and it'll be unsynced and done solo like the Stormblood raids are now. This is what most people who don't want to raid for it do when it gets old.

If you can accept a medium challenge, you can do it one or two tiers after it's old, where item levels have made it easier but still require certain mechanics to be done in a party.

Mao can not raids. Mao's condition makes very tough for Mao to even play regular game. Havings said that, Mao is not upset that is glams and mounts that Mao can not get. Raiders should has special treats for clearings the hardest contents in game.

unsync it in 2 years

People say that, but ultimate weapons are ugly as sin. And that's not me being jealous. They genuinely look like crap. They look like those people in Guild Wars 2 who only use the reflective armor and make themselves as shiny as possible. They are the visual equivalent of a child screaming for attention.

Yeah, that's really the only reason I haven't put more effort into clearing one. I'd like to, but the weapon design just doesnt really do anything for me.

That's the big thing. Here, prog this for 70+ hours, and your reward is some ugly ass weapon. It's like the last tier. I had zero drive to do raid content because of the stupid sonic ring portal on the back of the armor or the dorky flames on the shoulders.

I remember when the first CC pvp set came out, and I said it looked overdesigned and reddit shit a chicken.

But yeah i get what you mean. Its not exactly something easy to rule a line and I don't really expect them to.
I suppose its just frustrating that they advertise things like the axolotl in a live letter, a fun light hearted mount riding on the island, only to later reveal its completely inaccessible if you can't do savages.

It would be rough on players who worked hard to get these things only for it to be now available from elsewhere, I wouldn't really want that to happen. It'd just be nice if heading forward they'd considered keeping future mounts like the axolotl to more accessible things.

---

I understand how you feel. It is frustrating for me too. The axolotl is the first mount I have been excited for since the ARR Extreme horses. Just unlucky this time around is all. I accept that.

That flaming ring on the back this is one thing I wish I could block from seeing. It is migraine inducing for me.

Im literally blind of my left eye and can do every content in the game including ultimates. Git gud

I find it kinda funny that you use UwU weapons when that's the easiest ultimate by miles.

Git Gud. I am being completely serious when I say it's a skill issue. Savage isn't something only the elites can do. It's not hard to tune out the other players on most fights since you mostly only need to focus on what you're doing and pray the others are smart enough to get through the mechanic without embracing the floor tank pov. Guides exist for a reason so use them. Ultimates aren't much different. They're just faster, longer, and are more of a mental endurance test. Learn your opener and rotation then you're basically set for life in any content.

The rewards you suggested are redundant anyways. You already get a bis weapon, depending on fight relevancy, and a title from ultimate. It'd certainly be nice to get a second choice of weapon color though.

Yes, please Square Enix. I do not want to earn anything ingame. I want it given to me for free. Don't make gear exclusive. It hurts my feelings when I have to play the game for a few hours, and other people could sit in my AFK spot in Limsa while I'm gone. It would surely be a tragedy. Don't reward people for completing "difficult" content, or through their skills in PvP. Just hand it over to me, for an inexpensive price of free from a vendor.

Exactly. Looking at all the replies here though, it seems like Square Enix is assuming that a lot of people raid. But most people don't and the reason why it seems like a lot of people raid is because a lot of them are terminally online because most of them have no jobs. You can't clear Ultimate or Savage if you have a full-time job and it's aggravating they decided to lock a cute mount behind a no-life activity.

The Axolotl is fine I guess. Would liked to have it too but oh well...

But I am sad that they locked the Morbol mount behind savage content. Iconic Final Fantasy stuff should really be available for everyone!

I wish instead of the axolotl mount we got athena's wings as mount for savage.

"All are completely inaccessible for many players with disabilities or other such issues"

This is what we call "Bigotry of low expectations"

This person might be serious. This seems like a legit character, nothing alike all the titanmen clones.

You keep saying that they are rewarded for doing a hard content.

That has been debunked when Criterion Dungeons came out. No one does it as much as Yoshi and co. thought they would because the rewards for clearing it were... very underwhelming. People don't play because it is "hard content" people play for the rewards so they can show off and brag like: "I cleared this!"

Those very few people that do hard content just for the funsies, I commend them but you gotta look at things realistically that majority of people that do hard content is because they want that carrot on the stick.

Wow another post about this, it feels like people have never played an mmo before ff14, this is a very normal thing its the carrot on the stick that gets people to do it, like do you really think people ran molten core back in the day cause "it looked cool" no they did it cause they wanted to get the best gear and show off to all there friends.

WHERE IS THE MODERATION TEAM ON THIS FORUM?

PEOPLE ARE CONSTANTLY TROLLING HERE EVERY DAY/HOUR

I think this might be real, like the last one was for sure a troll post but this one I think there being serious.

Stop being ridiculous you're not cut off from the reward at all. Just wait an expansion or two unsync the content and get the mount (yes you can even unync it earlier...). The people that do the content when relevant deserve the reward.

SE doesn’t care about the EN forums

Just like they don’t care about non blm ranged classes

[QUOTE=Remish;6259578]I Especially since there's no certainty that a new player that joins later will have an equal opportunity to acquire same rewards.[/QUOT

You snooze you loose

If you join late, you miss out, you need to leave some unique opportunities to just be there as an option, the stuff is meant for that period or timeframe, join the next one.

There is no argument, the only thing you need to relate to, either you put your foot in the rear to get these things, and if you want them faster you gotta work more for it, I didn't get the Centurio Tiger from the Hunt without putting in an effort for it and I took it even casual doing it... so had it around 1 year after, though the grind can be done in 3 months of no lifing, I wanted the mount badly really badly due to it is my favourite animal as well.

So I put in the effort doing it, and along side with all the side rewards and riches you can earn as well from the hunt I started, I had a little of a headstart due to I got into the hunt from HW, but not much... 2000 S ranks slain, 3000 A Ranks slain... as for the coolnes or cuteness it was worth it every single bit, I had to get the Aeturna Tiger mount as well at any cost.. so I did... even got the additional mount from the lootboxes out of it as well so double jackpot and a mount I can use when I am in the Tempest.

Morale of this, if you want something badly, you got to work for it and no bars should stop you.

For the new savage mount, it makes sense since Pandæmonium is an Elpis thing, then I see a good reason to that also could become a Savage Mount Drop...

And if you are in fear of missing the Series Throphy Stone PvP rewards... then it is simply because you refuse to do the content, it is NOT difficult to achieve rank 25 in it, and it is there for a LOONG LONG time... and a handfull of matches you are already level 10, and the best part you may be dragged out of your boring life sitting in Limsa Lominsa or some disgusting nightclub and get to actually do some stuff for a change, that does not require you to gear up to max iLevel, you could go in wearing just a weapon, you would have the same armor class and the likes as any other of the job you joined with.

So just stop complaining and do stuff, I do stuff... I am not into savage so I miss out on some mounts, but it does not mean I cannot do it, I can, everyone can, but you need to put down the time and effort doing such.

I think the only thing that is "inaccessible" are the ultimate weapons since they take actual skill to get and even then if you want them so much, learn the fights and work on them. The savage stuff can just be gotten in the next expansion when the fights are a joke compared to what they were at launch.

Still not inaccessible if you want them learn the fight. Same as the mount reward from playing tank is not inaccessible or the achievement tools from crafting. Everything's inaccessible if you're a lazy c :P lol

But it is available to everyone, just clear the raid. Blue mage is a job available to everyone

The shiny ultimate weapons are special because they are earned through an achievement. Heard many stories of people buying clears (Against ToS) and regretting it later because it wasn't a great investment as they thought they would be. Pretty sure I saw something on reddit where someone bought a TEA clear, had buyers remorse, and went back in and progged it themselves.

Same for the rewards in savage. They are cool because you had to achieve something to get them. And for casual players like yourself, you don't have to worry anyway. Savage gets incredibly easier with time, so if you can't accomplish the task now, you can much later with an unsynced easy fight :).

Why does everything have to be accessible to everyone again?
Some people are just not cut out for it, tough luck maybe you can find some RMT scam site or something
Honestly I imagine people doing these cry or troll threads like this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X85N0beo1w

I just reject the premise that savage is hard. Ultimates, sure.

Sure, savage is the first content that isn't a walking simulator, and I don't expect a random person off the street to clear it week 1--but some people can, and do. But if you want it, it's free.

I say this as someone who wanted a weapon that wouldn't clip into a very large hat, and so set out to get the p4s whm weapon as my first tier, which while not particularly fast, I did get on-content, and was not that hard.

Go watch a video guide and join pf or find a static. Congrats on your mount.

They are only as inaccessible as you let them be, frankly.

Ok but why is nobody talking about how creepy that mount is ;__;

I don't know what planet you're on. Most people without jobs can't afford a sub. When I raided, all my teammates had jobs. Full time job jobs. And those who didn't have full time jobs had gig work that had the hours of full time jobs. We met twice a week for 2-3 hours each, and while we didn't clear the whole tier due to inconsistent attendance (which was due to things not job related), we pretty consistently would clear the first three fights. All you need is 3-6 hours a week for a couple of months.

And I saw your other comments about how people who have decent work should be able to plunk down $18. I'm far above minimum wage, full time, but I'm still not allowing myself that because I have to budget for other critical things. Clearly if you can drop $18 without batting an eye you have a very high paying job. Good for you. You got lucky in the game of life. Many people aren't as lucky. I don't know why, from a business perspective, they didn't put the cute mount on the store, but I say all the power to SE for their choice. It's totally fine to have as a Savage reward, because Savage raiders don't just deserve "crappy" or "ugly" things. Like me, some raiders go for it for beautiful gear and mounts and we wouldn't have it any other way.

MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT OF THE AXOLOTL IS THAT ITS AN UPSCALED MINION SO THE TEXTURES ARE CRUNCHY

otherwise its cute

i still think ugly pitbull carbuncle should ahve been the tier2 mount tho, and idk what else tiers 3 moutn could be, a miniature pandaemonium? not a lot of options
