Primal Mount Suggestion

[Tanama]

This happens literally all the time though. You join a farm party and the newest, most garbage player who cleared it once by getting carried, who then spawns an add and tanks the floor for most of the fight, wins the mount.

Even the development team made a joke out of it. See below:

I know this is off topic (but I don't feel like making a separate thread for a fleeting thought), but I would love to see glowing sheep as primal mounts. XD We've got the ponies, the doggos, the birdies, the dragons... now we need fluffy sheep whose wool glows with their primal's respective colour. (Not trolling, I'm being serious. I would metaphorically die to see that mount, haha.)


To be more constructive, I'd like to either see the mounts drop more often, or the amount of totems you need to get said mount lowered considerably, like 50 totems instead of 99 totems. I already have 32 totems for on ex, and I've only seen the mount drop twice in all 32 times. That's a bit extreme for me.

the system works as intended. nothing needs changing. EX mounts are supposed to be rare - until the drop rate gets increased.

Something I thought of though after the fact was that, having people that actually know the fight is pretty darn useful but very few people that clear the fight want to go and help those that haven't. Right now with nothing else to do really, it's not hard getting a group together for clear parties but down the road with more stuff to occupy people, getting a clear group will be hard.

While I do agree that it is difficult to get people to help with clears, I found a better approach is to just be that person. I'll usually word the party finder like "Clear for 1 / learn if you want / help if you want" and I got a surprising amount of people willing to help and every party ended the lockout with a clear.

Since launch, I think I've led and helped at least 5-6 FC members and friends get their Titania/Innocence clears, as well as their equipment and weapons. Helping them out was motivating enough to not even consider it a grind. Cut to 2 days ago, I'm sitting on 50 Titania totems and I happened to roll an 86 on the mount and succeed. As rewarding as it felt, the fact I got someone who never did current extremes to try Titania on a saturday and get their weapon the next day was a reward in and of itself.

People would abuse the 100% drop by taking just 1 person at a time though for a first time clear.

"Selling primal EX first time clears. You get the mount! PST for prices!"

Maybe SE can add a few bonus tokens for clearing it with a new person, also perhaps when the mount drops everyone who didn't win the mount gets a few extra tokens.

I keep thinking SE might be able to use HQ for stuff, perhaps if the mount drops everyone who didn't win it gets one HQ token. If you want you can downgrade it into a normal token right there in your inventory, but if you go to the store it's like 1HQ = 3NQ and 8HQ = 1 pony.

its because an mmo never ends is why things like rare mount drops remain rare. you have no limit on the time you play the game. because it never ends there is no need to make it easier to get (until the drop rates increase later on in the patch series).
