Regarding: Centurio Tiger mount

[SokiYagami]

I rarely see people actually doing hunts these days. I go by so many A ranks just sitting there, I call them out and no one shows. Heck, even the hunt LS I was in disbanded.

Players are probably skipping A ranks in favor of raid and/or leveling. I doubt S rank will have the same issue, which is the part most people are pointing out in this thread. Once SE add upgrade items to hunt vendors, you will see the return of the horde. Of course, that's assuming that they follow the previous pattern.

Its just so annoying since first people wished for the hellhound mount and they put that beyond PVP with a very small limit..and next to that people again wished for a tiger mount and instead of making it a tanking achievement (like get all the three tanks achievements and you will get this one..just like Kirin in a way) or let us buy it with tokens, they put it beyond another big wall which will not take months if you started it but years of constantly getting all the hunts. At the same time most of the old hunts can be done solo or with a very small group.

I actually thought of the hellhound mount when I was typing my previous comment. I understand the frustration. I was never in the camp of exclusive rarity, and I do want the hellhound mount but I know I won't be getting it due to the lack of skill and interest in a competitive pvp mode. However, in the case of the hellhound mount, I find it easier to accept how it was since I understand rank pvp do need a shiny incentive, and the mount is SE's answer to it. Of course this is subjective to one personal view on exclusive rarity.

The tiger mount though... I don't know, personally I think it's better to utilize it as carrot elsewhere. Maybe be a overall tank mount collection like we both suggested, be a healer mount that some players has been asking (lore wise a tiger for healer mount does raise the eyebrown a little), or maybe put it as the new 24 man raid roulette achievement that SE spoke of creating in the future? I just don't think hunt need further incentive if it follows the previous pattern of putting upgrade materials for purchase with hunt logs. Along with the poor combination of high requirements behind an artificial time gate, you can't really blame some players for questioning how it even ended up here in the first place.

First off, i'm not entirely sure where this belongs as I don't post on the forums.

The requirements are admittedly insane, but not to the players who are and have been into hunting. They are seriously committed and should get some kind of crazy reward like the tiger mount, because there are WAY too many deadbeats and leechers out there who join a hunt LS and apparently prioritize other shit more and ignore hunt calls 99% of the time.

Yeah, how dare people try to get anything else done in this game. If you don't instantly abandon your DF parties the moment you hear a hunt call you obviously don't deserve your spot in the hunt LS.

It's just mind-boggling to me that, in order to revive stale, broken or otherwise skewed content (hunts and PVP - particularly before its current changes), they lock much-wanted mounts behind insane and practically unattainable conditions for the majority of the player base. Of course, that's not to say that hunters or extreme PVPers don't deserve rewards -- they do. But don't lock them behind "no-life" requirements like Top 100 per DATA CENTER (not even server!) or 2,000 S-Rank hunts + 1,000 A-Rank hunts.

I get that you want to make subscriptions last, SE. But let players work toward it on their own time so that eventually, whether you're into the grind or you're not, you can actually and realistically attain these things. Why could the PVP mounts not be bought with a high number of Wolf Marks (what good are they, anyway?) or the tiger with Centurio seals?

They just need to create badass unique looking pvp gear or weapons (with they did this season) and one should have enough rewards for a relative small group of dedicated PVPers. Also hunts always had lots of carrots to do. You will have mounts, pets, items to increase your gear and more locked behind hunts and since SB you will also have to hunt to unlock mount speed. IMO that its already way enough as rewards. No other content imo has that much of an reward than those two. Heck even the most difficult content has only the dyeable version of the normal gear set and maybe a mount.

I just dont understand why those two parts of the game deserve so much exclusive stuff which is often also limited or really hard to get (like the two wanted mounts) yet you wont find such a limit in other content. You will always be able to get the mounts from extreme versions or savage if you either buy a clear, be able to clear it when its still recent or you just wait till later when the drops rates are higher and you can unsynch it. So why do hunts and PVP deserve such an extra treatment? And before someone says it: No I dont mean that they should not have their mounts and stuff but PVP already has lots of mounts behind their maps which need a bit of grinding and winning to get them and hunts have a mount and pet too. So imo already way enough.

Kinda tired of every new mount being gated behind either a impossible achievement, or savage clear.

2 out of 11 4.0 mounts are difficult to get, unplayable

As an aside, a lot of people aren't complaining because of 'entitlement'. They're putting forward legitimate complains because quite a lot of people spoke up when they saw the tiger model when it it was added to the game as an enemy and made it clear that they thought it would make for a neat inclusion. Instead of being made into something that those players could work towards, though, it is locked behind a pretty ridiculous grind.

grind in an MMO??!?!? by the twelve! =p

[Stormfur]

I wouldn't even mind the "grind" - if it were something you could work toward when you have time - like with the tank mounts, most of the PVP mounts, etc. If some other tank in the party kills Garuda first during a trial, it's not like you didn't get credit. Or if they were one of the first tanks ever in their data center to kill her (but that time has long since passed), it's not like you don't have an equal shot. But that's exactly what has happened with both the much-desired Hellhounds and the Centurio tiger.
