Why mount from Rathalos EX??

[Frizze]

But I was also disappointed that the mount is only from doing the EX version. My ilevel isn't anywhere near high enough because I deliberately don't play all the time and try to get the highest ilevel, so I can't even get in to begin with. I was looking forward to the event because I like Monster Hunter, but I was extremely disappointed that the mount is locked behind EX and there's no other way to get it.

Also: if it's supposed to be based off the way MH fights are, why are 8 and 4 people needed to do it? I solo'd all monsters up to the end of the story in MHWorld. Why can't I do that here too?

If you go in with a full group you bypass the ilvl restriction(its always worked this way). And i mean, increasing your ilvl would probly be pretty easy if you wanted to. There are almost a half dozen sources of gear higher then this requirement you could try out. Also, the patch in september is raising the ilvl by 30 again, so therell be new gear even further above the min for this meaning youd need even less of them to get past the restriction.

As for a solo attempt, unsync should be available in 5.0... look forward to it?

I sincerely wonder how people who are upset about this thought you would get the mount? From the theme of the event AND the history of mount obtainment thought XIV's content it should have been obvious that this would be an EX reward... And it should be, because putting it in normal mode would be tantamount to just handing it out, which I don't agree with. You want the shinies, you need to work for the shinies...

If you can do the normal mode, you can do the ex mode.

Mounts should be something special

There is no reason to be scared of any ex fight in this game. Join a learning party and learn the fight. That's all there is to it. We all started from 0 at some point and had to learn the mechanics and we all failed at some point and we all died. Just try until you know what to do. And if you don't like your party, just join another one.
Mounts should be something to be earned, not given to you for doing nothing. I'm sure that a lot of people who are scared of the harder fights in the game could finish them if they simply tried harder and admitted that they have to improve themselves.

I'm constantly getting hit by his flying charge in normal mode even when I've definitely dodged it. I don't know if it's latency or something goofy about the animation/hitbox, but it's making me feel like I probably couldn't do the EX version.

While it could be latency, with all of his attacks you need to move well before he goes after you. its alot like mh in that way. you most definitely can do the EX version. stay at/near his left flank in phase one, his butt phase 2. its hard to do, but it is effective at dodging most attacks.

I swear people would find a way to complain about a 5 second fight that requires you press only one button. FFXIV is already the easiest, most simplified, and console-ized MMO there is, so please don't try to make it even worse.

I was hype for Monster Hunter World come in ffxiv.

Enjoyed new mount. When see in-game and very disappointed.

Scales+ from extreme for Rathalos mount.

Since I don't person for extreme. I alwasy wanted this mount so bad....
I'm very scary in extreme.... Thank you SE for bad idea.

First off, why on earth would you think it would drop from Normal? That would actually decrease the mounts overall value if everyone could just stroll into the normal mode and walk off with it afterwards. If you want something unique and special, then put in the same amount of time and effort like the rest of us please.

Secondly, where have you been for the entirety of EX trial rewards? The mounts have ALWAYS dropped from their EX versions and not the normal versions. Why should Rath EX be any different? It's an incentive to do the harder trial, it's like the doorbusters you see in department stores to snag customers through their doors right away. Furthermore, have you made previous threads where you state that the dog dropping from Tsuki EX was unfair? If not and if you say that you're perfectly okay with the standards that SE set for those, then you're being an entitled hypocrite.

This reminds me of those players who would complain that Ixion is so hard to get, as of now, when I was farming/camping him upon Stormblood's release with the Tommy Lee Jones look of "Guys...please".

I want to live in whatever world you live in. People get kicked or someone votes to disband after one wipe even in easy content. If all people were really that nice no one would be afraid to play with strangers.

....Just get a higher ilvl then...? I mean, it's not exactly hard nor is it the game's fault that you can't give yourself the motivation or ambition to pursue a higher ilvl to get something you want. They'd never make an EX fight solo and even when we do have "solo" instances, we have NPC's to heal/help us. Aside from the NPC's, the health chunks and mechanics would have to be centered around you and NPC's and be somewhat less challenging to do simply because of the AI's limitations of being smart. A solo Rath EX would be not only pointless with the set ilvl that it is right now, but utterly devoid of challenge and substance. So, that's why it's not a solo.

Do the work and you'll get the mount.

[JohnSeal]

Sounds to me like you're just not good enough to get it.

Why do you need to be mean to this person? You and many others can just shoot offences to other telling their opinion -_- the extreme it’s pretty difficult btw and so most of ppl just go in 4 tanks compositions, Wow how fantastic lol

To the OP: I totally understand you, btw just go PLD and problem solved (:
