3.3 Patch Notes(Pre)

**Selli** · 06-03-2016 06:30 PM

No new Commendation achievement, the new Pegasus mount is looking more like a Mentor Roulette (especially with the 2,000 Roulettes done, ouch) or a PvP reward (100/200 Shatter wins?).

Alliance members being greyed out when not in rage is going to work very nicely in Frontlines, I'm excited for that. And also make cross-Alliance healing in the 24-man raids a lot easier as well.

Being able to see which GC battle highs/fevers belong to is actually a bit of a surprise to me. That really makes things a lot easier. And you'll especially be able to see who's winning if you see battle highs/fevers from different GCs meeting up and watching which colors drop first... Though why are Flames purple? XD

I'm starting to think it might be, because the color scheme for the mount's armor and the Field Commander's armor are almost identical. Plus if you look at the side of the mount, it does /kind/ of look like the Maelstrom symbol. I'm thinking this might be the Field Commander's Pegasus or something similar. And if they want to get people into PvP, what better way to do it than to add a double mount? I didn't see anything else that seemed like it would lead to a mount, and I'm hoping they stay true to their word and say that mentors will not get additional rewards to keep people from getting the status for the wrong reasons.

The pattern of the cloth looked a lot like previous Commendation rewards rather than Field Commander's Set. Other than being white (and having minor red decal) it doesn't look that much like Field Commander's gear. It is also missing the strong presence of black that the FC set has (especially on the helm which is the most armor-like peice on the set and it's black with gold decal).

Commenation rewards compared to new mount and Field Commander's Set:

Though, because there is no commendation achievement listed in the pre-notes, despite how perfectly it fits with the previous commendation rewards, I think it's safe to say that it is not.

Plus if you look at the side of the mount, it does /kind/ of look like the Maelstrom symbol.

Not really. Maelstrom's logo is a boat and the symbol doesn't even look like it connects on the bottom, which is where the Maelstrom logo is actually thickest. I don't think it looks like any of the GC symbols to be honest. o.o" I think it's just a random decal.

Logo:

I'm thinking this might be the Field Commander's Pegasus or something similar. And if they want to get people into PvP, what better way to do it than to add a double mount?

I agree. My main reasoning behind thinking that this is a PvP mount is because the only 3 other armored horse mounts in the game all come from PvP, so that's why I could see them throwing this into Shatter. Especially to hype it up. I'm really hoping it isn't the Kirin of Warsteeds (get all 3 Warstreeds to get this mount, which is 100 wins on each GC) as that would be most painful. XD But it doesn't really have the look of all 3 GCs for me to believe that (specifically it's missing blue/black for Flames).

I do believe they also stated before that they wanted to do something with getting the PvP mounts flying. ADS flies, Gloria flies, but none of the GC horses do and I think that they should stay as ground mounts, personally. But this is a good compromise for having a armored flying horse. Though, I must admit the white Pegasus looks very different compared to the dark horses with Noct-like armor.

Warsteeds:

I didn't see anything else that seemed like it would lead to a mount, and I'm hoping they stay true to their word and say that mentors will not get additional rewards to keep people from getting the status for the wrong reasons.

I strongly agree with this as well. I could see this being a 1,000 or 2,000 Mentor Roulette in an attempt to get more mentors or more mentors to actually do their Mentor Roulette. But I have a feeling this would backfire horribly. People would just grind Mentor Roulette on an unpopular language in attempts of getting runs with their friends, or speed running the roulette, or even kicking new players. :c That's why I really hope it's not.

I really hope your wrong. I hate PvP but I really really want this mount. Even so, it will not make me PvP just to get it. I'll just give up on it.

This seems way more likely, since all the other two seater mounts were from Mog Station or Recruitment bonus.

I definitely disagree with your opinion on PVP, but you've got nothing to worry about. There's no way they'd introduce a 2-seater mount as a PVP reward, when you can't even use those types of mounts in PVP duties.

I wouldn't rule it out on principle, but I agree it's unlikely.

Lmao, I was just gonna comment that. XD They seem to like to give PvP things that don't really work in PvP. [EDIT] I mean, Gloria, for example, was the mount added for 200 wins in Feast. You can't even use mounts in Feast. [ /EDIT]

Well, I guess I better go into Frontlines and enjoy my two-seaters while I can since they're taking them back out.

I'm still holding out hope that it's a Commendation reward. It matches the previous rewards too well. I'll just hold out hope until the full notes are released.

Yeah good spot on there, it really does look like a pvp horse/field commander horse. I wish I did enough pvp in the past to get the chest piece, it looks amazing!
