Please Keep Named NPC Related Items out of Feast

[Titor]

I will preface this by saying I am not advocating lowering Feast reward exclusivity. I'm also not posting this to whine about it being hard to get, as to date I've placed in every Feast season and have all of the feast exclusive mounts, as such, I feel there is a high chance for me to place again. I will also add that Aulus is my favourite NPC.

My main concern is adding something so unrelated to feast as a feast reward. The previous rewards made sense. Hellhounds for the wolf theme, gear that had no tie into any main character or even the MSQ.

However, out of nowhere a mount is added that is very strongly tied to an NPC. This NPC has nothing to do with feast. He's a mad scientist, barely even a combat character and far from what I would consider 'bloodthirsty' as of the theme of Feast.

Not only does the reward not scream 'feast', it's also a bit unfair for fans of this character. All other NPC-related items have been obtainable either in game or through the cash shop. Fan of Aymeric? Get his gear in the cash shop! Livia and Nero, get their mounts in the cash shop! Scions? Gear in the cash shop!

Aulus? Well, better start feasting.

I don't know why the skill level is so greatly increased for item obtainability for this one NPC.

Please consider creating a unique, more aptly-themed reward for Feast, and moving the gear for this particular NPC obtainable for all current and future fans of this character to obtain.

this is a much better argument than "make feast rewards easy and obtainable for anyone at any time!"

i fully agree with your point opposed the ignorant and hypocritical points that other people are saying.

As someone in the JP forums put it:

Feast is the perfect place to put this mount, because its players are effectively guinea pigs for painful experiments.

The latest map is meant to test the endurance of player eyes. Data is currently being analyzed.

Lol, if anything I think the rewards should be crystal tower or allagan themed. Like some common mob in there, or the allagan bug spider things that show up. I don't know. Maybe ride a floating tomelith or a different type of ADS node (A cube one plz)

I guess they didn't do a re color of the hell armor? Was it only available for one season?

By that logic it should be a Fashion Report prize. Each week's winning combo is more grotesque than the last lol

S5 and S6 both had hellhound armor. S5 was red, S6 was blue.

Bless this thread. I hope squex does something about this but i highly doubt they will. I really don't want to suffer through hundreds of matches with bots and match throwers. Aulus is my fav character from SB but I don't think i could mentally handle that kind of suffering lmao.

Yeah it’s pretty rough that they put npc related items in here, I feel bad for the non pvpers who like him

In my opinion, Feast exclusivity is fine, be it glamour or mount. What is not fine is if it was a highly requested mount/glamour. Personally, I believe highly requested mount/glamour being gated behind Feast (or some absurd requirement) is just a big middle finger to the face.

Wasn't this chair highly requested? If so, then that depressing.
