Lets talk new Mounts!

Somehow it feels like they are offering the reward for us to tank in EX Primals. Seeing as how we would complain that Primal Fending accessories suck, and we would often prefer to go on other classes to lot on gear for alt classes instead.

I'm still kind of hoping that the translation is a bit off, and all of my previous 4 and 8 man dungeon runs will count. Yoshi-P said that it was something for players that have been tanking for a long time, not for players who will tank for a long time from here on out. I have a feeling that I am going to be disappointed.

Here's the part that's missing from the English notes about the achievements. Google translated from French.

* We will continue to adjust the conditions for obtaining such deeds when new updates, depending on the added content and changes the difficulty of the existing ones.

The German (again, Google translate) goes like this:

A part of the achievements has been added the condition "a high-level content in a full squad (eight players)." These are the following contents:

Zenith of the Gods - Garuda / zenith of the Gods - Titanium / zenith of the Gods - Ifrit / Royal confrontation (extremely) / Meandering shadow of Bahamut - Encounter (except level 3) / Interlaced Shadow - foray

* With the upcoming patch or other content to this category can be added.

Between the two, to me, it sounds like only the listed instances count.

From the Japanese patch notes:

一部アチーブメントの達成条件である「高難易度の8人用コンテンツ」は、パッチ2.2では以下のコンテンツが対象になります。
"The following contents are applicable/qualify for the condition "difficult 8man content" that counts towards certain achievements."


※新規コンテンツの追加や、既存コンテンツの難易度緩和に伴い、「高難易度の8人用コンテンツ」に該当するコンテンツは、パッチごとに調整される可能性があります。
※The content qualifying for "difficult 8man content" may be adjusted each patch to accommodate for the addition of new content or a relaxation of the difficulty of existing content.

Colouring is merely there to show you that I changed the sentence structure in my translation.

Suddenly there's an even larger deficit of tanks in 4-man content whilst all tanks concentrate on 8-man content for their new mounts...

Yeah, that's the problem :P

I love tanking, and I actually intend to sometime find a static (which seems to be fairly hard though, as like 95% of all guilds are french on moggle and my french is incredibly bad^^), but this mount won't help the problem of tank-shortage. Well, I guess a few people with infinite time might level a tank now, gear it up for the 8mans and at least play for a short while in the tank-shortage thats called 4mans, but it will only last that long and probably affect very few players...


Well, at least with the new EQ and all you might finally be able to do extremes/ Coil via Dutyfinder, so in a mere year or so I might get my lion ^^

(That being said, I don't critizise these mounts, but they shoul've done something else too, for those that tank 4 mans on a daily basis, maybe a different mount, or a pet thet resembles these mounts or something).

If 'active tank' were the requirement, how about doing a run through all the content UP TO level 50?
