Regarding Ixion Horn Drop Changes

[magnanimousCynic]

I highly doubt Ixion will completely die out since it's the only super boss FATE to give tokens for a mount. Behemoth/Odin get you Vanity + furnishings. Coeurlregina/Proto-Ultima gives Vanity. Tamamo-no-Gozen gives a Furnishing, Vanity, and a minion.

I welcome the change. I have one horn, hahaha, and this improves my changes. Thanks SE!

Two kinds of people, ladies and gents.

Nice passive aggressive insult. I won't rise to your bait.

That said i'm not saying I'm upset people are able to get it easier or that it devalues my mount. I'm glad people are able to get it easier. I'm simply a tad bit salty that I wasted weeks of my time farming it when I could have been doing more productive things with my limited time. I didn't expect them to make changes for at least another couple of months time.

Ixion, while many argue is not the most good looking mount it is very unique in comparison to the other available mounts. It only made sense that it should take you time and dedication to obtain.

Zero skill and basically Zero gear needed. This is not FFXI, long spawn windows are crap. They had a couple choices. Add another way to get horns, continue the awesome show that is current system, increase drop/lower horns needed. They laso may want to turn off instances, since the design is still lacking two years later.

Also I think the mount looks obnoxious, but that is just me. It just screams look at me I am trying so hard.

Can we talk about the change that was made for Ixion horn drop rate?



I think we can all agree camping Ixion is a pain but this change seemed pretty drastic especially so early in the expansion. This change effectively devalues the mount entirely because you can easily get the mount in a single day after a maintenance reset due to the 3 instances still being up.

Unlike the other new mounts added in SB, this was one of the only ones that weren't reliant on RNG and you could get from enough dedication. It's really disappointing that something so unique was devalued just because people can't be patient.

Please, tell me you are not being serious... A LOT of people where literally raging on the forums because the mount took too many attempts to get, and now, they ease the number of horns you get from the FATE and people think it's a "bad move from SE" ?

SE is prob rolling their eyes right about now.

I'm sorry, but other people have better stuff to do with their game time than to camp a map for who knows how many hours, some even reported not being able to finish the FATE due to the massive lag they got on the map, SE it's just making the right thing for increasing the horn drop. I also think that calling people impatient for not "playing" a video game for a whole day to get a mount it's unfair, since many have other obligations like work, kids, or school.

It only takes one Odin or Behemoth to get any of their prizes.
One CoeurlRegina chain too, IIRC.
One Foxy Lady (If it ever spawns) for those rewards as well.

Ixion was the only one that took that many encounters.

And none of those rewards were mounts. So your point is?

For me this mount didn't have any value from the start. When i did see how many people were farming it the first time i got close to an Ixion fate, i was like "ok, i am not going to bother with that if in the end it is going to be so much mainstream to have it XD". Especially with some of my skills not working because of too much people on the map. I always end up using back my yellow generic chocobo because it is the mount i own that hide the less the scenary anyway.

Nice change for those who want to complete their collection though.

[Dark-Saviour]

And none of those rewards were mounts. So your point is?

And this reward isn't a barding.
Worth is subjective.

you can't make everyone happy all the time. Sorry your mount isn't "special" anymore.
