Regarding: Centurio Tiger mount

[SokiYagami]

I'm pretty sure the point of this mount is to reward people who put a lot into hunts and (of course) keep their subs for a long long time. I say good for those who get it! I doubt I'll end up getting it but I think of it as something to work toward. Having everything just given to me would ruin the whole point of playing in the first place.

Firstly, lowering the requirement from 3k/2k to 2k/1k or simply increasing the spawn rate of S rank is by no means "everything just given to me". There's still plenty of effort required for it.

Secondly, in regards to reward for hunting, I think there's more than sufficient rewards for this particular content already, was there really a need to add another highly requested reward behind it with such high requirement?

Lastly, correct me if I'm wrong, but the way you phrase it sounds to me that you think the tiger mount is some sort of veteran reward for hunters, in which case, I'll like to direct you to take a look at the new veteran program which was created because there were complaints of rewards becoming too difficult for new players to obtain simply because they started late. Which even though not directly related, pretty much sums up to Tint's comment earlier; a lack of consistency in terms of adjusting the difficultly to obtain reward.

Like one of my raid members mentioned to me : "it's a life time achievement". Of course there's no rush to it but seeing who this game is cartering and aimed to Id say the amount of As Ss and mentor runs are a bit too much for this MMO.

Pretty much, especially considering the recent changes to veteran program. While not exactly the same, the same argument remain in both cases imo. Then again, I was never one for exclusive rarities so I might be bias.

Just like Ixion for me this will never happen or will be in like 2 years

Your raid member must be mistaken. The 'lifetime achievements' for hunters are the 10,000 A rank and 5,000 S rank achievements. Tiger mount isn't even at the halfway mark. And those doozies only offer a title and 10 achievement points. I think SE really needs to re-evaluate their effort-to-reward ratio.
Also the way SE assigned kill values to those...... it would seem they think A ranks spawn only twice as often as S ranks. I would have assigned kill requirements at least vaguely resembling the spawn ratios.
Or maybe they're trying to endorse aetheryte camping /shrug

Not sure if anyone has asked this question, but I'll ask anyway: How in the hell do we know the amount of S and A ranks that we've already killed? It's impossible to know whether or not we're close to that achievement if there's no display for it. :/

3 weeks ago 15 people had the mount. Now there are 19. (who have their achievements public, achievementhunter do that usually..)

The mentor mount takes 20-30 days of pure dungeon time. Let's say you are insane and you do 12hrs mentor roulettes a day. You will be done in 2 months max.

50 S hunts will spawn on an active server in a week maybe(that is already pretty generous estimations, because of how the triggers are working), let's say you are crazy and you get them all. In 2 months you will have 400 which is 20% of the achievement.
pssh spoiler! - you will not get them all! xD

Just don't compare these 2 mounts with each other lol... the tiger is way waaaaay more difficult to obtain...and yee it is just a tiger with no particle effects/special music theme or different running animation so people should indeed wonder why it is so hard to obtain

You check your achievements tab for Hunting and the uncompleted ones will still tell you how many you already have if you click on them.

lol Why even bother wasting devs time making these? The mount is not even worth all the time it takes to get, but I guess some ppl might like it, though luck for them. D:

To be fair, the tiger mount isn't that far off as a "lifetime achievement" for someone starting fresh on hunting. Agree with the other points.

Suck to be a tiger fan... Woe is me. T-T

Thank you for responding to my question. I wasn't sure until now I will look that up once I log into my game again.


More than likely I will try to go for that achievement because tigers are cool. Moreover, that would be a big pat on the back for me since I had the patience to go through the madness; yeah, it's going to take a long time because of early pullers lol

[kamenkuro]

The idea is to keep someone either playing constantly or playing for years. It's not a requirement, it's a reward. If someone did all that and got nothing then what? The reward can't be gamebreaking so most are just cosmetic and this one is coincidentally just a mount. Whoever gets that mount will have a badge of honor.

I doubt they wasted much time on it. It's just the tiger mob from Yanxia made into a mount.
