Its only a Goobbue...chill pickle

I think I am the only person in my ls who thinks the goobbue mount is hilarious. Ppl wanna moan and complain about everything but I think this little treat the devs gave us is fantastic and hilarious. There is no reason to nerd rage so hard on the goobbue mount. Its just a piece of fun the devs threw our way. But I guess when it comes to gaming for a dev its damned if you do damned if you dont.

Have fun with it, if you cant then dont use it and just chill pickle

I'LL SHIELD YOU FROM THE NERD FLAMES WITH MY WHITEKNITE SHIELD+10000

RACING PICS BETWEEN FERERERETARARARA POPS

Well, I was going to create a goobuu thread, than I saw how many goobuu treads there are.

So, I guess I will choose this one.

So, as most of you guys know, I'm pretty much the biggest hatter on goobuus, soo, if I can handle seeing dumb looking things riding goobuus, so can everyone else ^.^

I can also say, I'm happy for those who are enjoying em.

ALSO PROPOSAL TIME! I will love to see any new mounts you guys want, if we don't have jump in the game ^.^ and not turn more dungeons into instanced areas!

It just came out, so what'd you expect? Give it a little time and they'll thin out as they're "newness" wears off. After 2.0, when they aren't even available anymore they'll thin out even more still. Eventually it'll be this rare trophy that only a small percentage of the population are even aware of, let alone own.

Ya gotta look at the big picture, not just what you see during the day one craze.

gobbue mounts are the most original idea since like what, 1.18,1.17? and ppl don't want it!?
let's roll out some more boring primal fights instead and reenter them 143312432412 times to get a full set of uselessness.

i agree with the OP, if you don't want a gobbue, just don't friggin ride it, but don't destroy the fun for those that want one.
the game's been shit enough so far, and once in a while we get something that some can enjoy but most will still bitch.
this closed minded community thinking will get this game nowhere in such a critical time where each and every feedback to SE is important feedback.

good day sirs

Think the mounts as pokemons. I'm gonna catch'em all!

Next mount will be probably Drake xD

On other side, think when we can fight alongside with the mounts and gear them up. Chocobo hasn't a chance compared with Gooblue power. (well this is if they ever do the battle thing with mounts)

you know that i was in favor of goobue mounts:)

I think the gobbue mount is pretty sweet. I like it. I do have one complaint though...I logged on and got my mount in about 1 minute...and I just logged off and probably won't be back till 1.21.

Woulda been nice if I could go in search of and tame my own gobbue, you know? Or at least go ins earch of a mysterious tamer and duel him and his band of gobbues and once you defeat him he teaches you his methods. Something like that coulda been pretty easily done I think but the mount is still pretty cool I'm happy I have it, and I'll be a lot happier that I have it once 2.0 comes out.

I'm guessing you're going to hate this game completely come 2.0 if those things are that much of a problem to you.

http://imgres?q=and+my+axe+pictures&...19&tx=67&ty=90

I want to thank the devs for the FREE mount, GIFTS are always appreciated!

The big picture is the issue here.

This trend will likely not stop at the Goobbue. The dats already have what appears to be Drake and Wolf mounts, possibly to be given out in the next 2 patches. Then 2.0 hits and all the new players will see the mounts and start clamoring for new ones. This is the beginning of a precedent -- one that will make the entire world look like a carnival rather than a FF game.

Ideally, the Goobbue should be a one-off 'gift' and then all new mounts should be either: A) Rented by players for navigating terrain (ie. Drakes for volcanic areas), or B) Part of a Beastmaster Job that can tame a monster and ride it into battle.

The rental mounts concept has an added bonus. The 2.0 landscape could have several impassible terrain features (ie Lava, deep water, swamps, etc) which can lead to planned expansion areas with an empty NPC shack nearby. When they want to open the zone up, the devs just add in the mount-rental NPC and they are good to go.

It's much better than FFXI's approach of making caves appearing out of nowhere.

Agreed

You know how much fun its gonna be after v2 comes out when we are running circles around all the new players on our never again attainable mounts lol and 5-6 yrs down the road when u only see a goobbue run past once in a blue moon. It may be overwhelming in the amount now but it will thin and then it will be a true trophy.

Agreed. There was not supposed to be content attached to this. It was announced a long time ago when someone asked if they could get a gift showing that they payed to play before 2.0 and thats all this is, a GIFT. If you dont like it then dont get it. If you cant tolerate seeing them ride around your game then i think you have bigger problems in your head.

Then you won't mind someone posting the .dat information required so we can delete all goobbue mounts and replace with chocobo mounts?

Well you can hate all you want, all I want is some simple .dat information so I can just go back to playing XIV without all the lameness.

I'm not the hater in said example. You must be new to the interwebz. Here ya go, even YOU can learn how to read information. But ONLY you can prevent forest fires.: http://www.google.ca/search?q=.DAT+swapping

You are the hater because I'm not the one forcing anyone into doing anything against their will - I'm just getting hate because I'm asking for a little .dat information; my request has been very simple, and Google has not brought up any functional results.

Your brain is missing, you should look into that.

Funny, I've found plenty of information for .DAT swapping, locating specific .DAT files, etc. Seems my brain functions perfectly fine.

There is no information about goobbue mount .dats, try again.

I never said there was information specifically about goobbue mounts, I directed your attention to the means of taking care of this problem on your own. I thought hand-holding got old around 7/8 years of age.

You did no such thing, your original post to me was, "Google > FFXIV Forums", which was a direct insult as you were implying that I had not used Google. Now I will ignore you.

I love the goobue mount, its so derpy. People can't have fun, to high strung, and a lot of people think their opinions matter too much like they can barter future components of the game for other things, BAHAHAAH, who cares about you anyway!
I have the same complaint as others though I'll prob not be back till 1.21 but that's cause there's not much to do, and you know what ITS ok to take a break! Everyone needs to chill in general on this forum, even I am guilty sometimes. Its like we log on, and something enrages us so bad we have to rage, we should all work on our anger issues this year lol (yeah gl )

Oh noes, where did your thread go about asking for specific .DATs?! :O

Edit: Before you respond, that is a rhetorical question.

I laughed so much harder than I probably should have at the bolded area. But I'm with the OP, sometimes I worry deeply about this game's community with all these people who get their panties bunched up so easily.

My personal observation though: when the patch went live what I didn't see was a bunch of people pouting with their arms folded in Ul'dah. What I did see is a hilarious number of goobbues rampaging in every direction is massive clumps. So I think all the "haters" are just ashamed that deep down they were just as excited as everyone else at the goobbues :P
