I'm unhappy with the new store mount "Shadow Wolf" (for story reasons)

[Fawkes]

Are the jp forums up in arms about this mount too?

They seem mostly bothered by the music. I think the post with the most likes from their thread is a dude calling out dat miners for getting their own hopes up about it being a blue mage reward.

Kind of funny how different the west and JP complain. When JP has an issue, they just make one long long thread. West, just makes multiple of the same thread. I guess some people feel their complaints are more special than others.

I think it's partially a cultural thing.

Most JP players seem to actually follow along with the entire length of a thread; most Western players will usually lose interest after a few pages, consider the thread "done" and everything "said", and then only a few stubborn diehards remain behind discussing anything or checking out updates.

I think Western forumgoers have been conditioned with an underlying "intuition" that if you want a majority of viewers to actually notice anything that you say, you basically have to make your own post, no matter how briefly-lived it may be; even great ideas or contributions that are buried on page 12 or 23 or 52 become archaeological fragments that only a few dedicated troglodytic delvers are ever aware of.

I really wouldn't call a couple weirdos on the forums screaming "up in arms". It's more like the usual trolls screaming into the void to entertain each other.

yeah because a 24€ mount with the base music is such a good bargain, couldnt even put up a lore music or anything nah, just base music, and yall will defend that

yikes

Given how Sleipnir was the first mount on the Store I think, it does not surprise me they would do this and whilst it is good to see an outcry about this, I doubt they will change their tune anytime soon. Like any big company in this capitalist hellhole, if they can squeeze money out of it, they will do that over more creative means.

If SE really wanted to make some easy cash, they'd make a Y'shtola and Estinien mounts for those ridiculously thirsty individuals out there. *Cough Asmongold Cough*

Music doesnt worry me, I prefer the zone music anyway.

Damn finally a good opinion from Vel

Due to the fact that the design of this mount is very good i find the eyes somekind of not matching the rest of the mount....

I wouldn't mind more unified topics on subjects over here, but its like herding cats.
