Optional item request: Legacy Goobue mount

[ElHeggunte]

So, Goobbue? Whatevs, sure, throw it in the cash shop along with the Lightning stuff. But it most certainly is not in the same category as the tattoo or the Legacy chocobo.

Yes, it is. At least in the sense that SE went out of their way to say the mount wouldn't be available after a certain period. It was a limited time offer that ended even before the servers were shut down. People just tend to call it a legacy item because that's the easiest way to refer to anything that predates 1.0 even if it wasn't technically part of the legacy campaign.

Uh Oh just NO some stuff should be only obtainable by actually playing the game if you want to support the game go buy retainers, or dyes :P

Yes, all three were "one time events", however the Goobbue (like the Lightning Strikes event) was literally just a one time event, which could have just as easily occurred in the early days of A Realm Reborn instead. "Hey you guys, here's a fun quest with a reward that won't be available once the event's over!" pretty much sums up both the Goobbue and Lightning Strikes events. There will obviously be more one-time events moving forward, the rewards for these will also fall into the same category as the Goobbue mount and Lightning items.

However, it's highly unlikely at this point that 2.0-onwards will ever see a catastrophic failure leading to another overhaul resulting in another 1.0-2.0-like character transfer (Tattoos) and the Legacy Campaign (Legacy Chocobo). The intent behind these was vastly different from those behind the Goobbue or Lightning items.

absolutely love this. I am a legacy player and many aspects of the game were garbage but it was also a highly enjoyable game. I still wish they had some aspects of it in this version.... original aurum vale was so much better than current version. the hamlet defense was also fun.... providing you didn't have to farm it, successfully triple melding when the loss would have been horrifying (though happy this isn't the case anymore lol

This just brought back melding my bow... *rocks in the corner* please no more....

In any case, I can understand the desire for these items, however I I feel like much that was special in 1.0 has already been carried over already. Think of the darklight gear etc. Much of the current gear we have now in low levels are reskinned from 1.0. Some things just need to be left alone, let the people who were there have something that they can look back on and know the story behind those items.

I'm sorry but am I the only one who thinks every post you've made so far sounds something along the lines of "whine, cry, pretend to be better than legacy players"? There were a few like you on the 2.0 beta forums which is why we actually found you a theme song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQ_eBTkB-rs give it a listen. *retreats to her little corner*

As a legacy player I'm glad 1.x is dead an never coming back. Even in 1.23 it was not fun to play. It was slow, plodding and terrible. I will glady take a simplified battle system that's actually fun, over the clunkiest trainwreck that took forever that was 1.anything. Go look up the fight with nael van darnus at the end of 1.23. The fight took 20 minutes (which should tell you something is wrong right there) and for like 99% of the fight it's just people stacked on top of each other slowly casting weaponskills. Boy howdy, what fun that was! It was a bad game, it was always a bad game. It got less bad as it went along but it never stopped being a bad game. Now it's dead and it's never coming back. Good riddance.

LOL and the combat system in this version is good? Sorry but no it's terrible old and boring, I would take the more complex system anyday as atm I am bored out of my skull with combat in this game.

Dem animation locks and shitty spell display though.

What battle system. The game was nothing but a bunch of polygons attempting to make broken animations with spells that had broken tooltips and stats that didn't even work correctly.

"Complex", right.

The goobbue is different from a special event like Lightning's though. Yoshi-P's The Wandering Minstrel's dialogue explains his new role in reshaping the game and how he probably would have never come so far if it weren't for the continuous support of the players. The goobbue horn is a literal thank you to players for sticking with a pile of hot garbage. It would make zero sense for them to ever re-release the exact same red-carpeted one.

The only thing complex about the old combat system was trying to accurately describe how terrible it was. It looked clunky and it played even worse.

1.0 was more using skills tactfully than it was 2.0s break dancing to avoid damage. The system was designed with animation lock in mind.

Different strokes for different folk I guess. Much prefer 1.o combat with real weight behind your attacks and comitment.

We support the game already by paying monthly.
It's absolutely ridiculous we have to pay for MORE INVENTORY SLOTS, and God damn dye's.


Anyway, I think some Legacy stuff should stay just for them.
We cannot have every single thing guys.
