Is the "One Steppe at a Time V" achievement reward a bit cruel to put up?

[Esmoire]

One thing they could do is just put mounts on the currency grind. Say 20k wolf marks, or higher amounts if they raised the mark cap to say 50k.

And then the ultra grind wins reward could just be a recolor of the same mount design. Bolder colors mount for spending weeks/months grinding out wins.

Ideally you'd have a complete revamp of the reward structure for the whole game. A new objectives window which shows all the prizes you've yet to obtain and multiple goals / methods to earn progress towards each.
Some goals might be deal X amount of damage in a single match, earn X amount of KOs without dying, capture X amount of ovoos in a single match, etc.

I think they kind of wanted to have them be map-specific by design, a design choice I don't agree with. I think if this game had a massive PvP population, it would make sense to have map-specific rewards to motivate people to try other maps and not just queue up for the one they like. Though with FFXIV, the PvP queues struggle to have enough for two modes with a third on life support.

As such yeah I rather they just have had this mount be for Wolf Marks. If the cap is a limitation, they can always make tokens that can be bought and exchanged for mounts, not unlike mark logs. So they could have the flexibility of having tokens for 5 or 10k Wolf Marks or something and then rewards costing more than the cap could suffice alone.

if you reward people for just participating and not winning you will just get people that put zero effort into it. is that what you want?

We already have this with the rewards the losing teams already get. D:

true but i don't really look at tomes/wolf marks/currency/exp as "rewards" lol

OP it can be done if you put in the time. I came out of the woodwork to spam frontlines every day for this mount because I want it super bad. Started almost a month ago and now i'm 7 wins away from getting the mount. I get about 3 - 4 wins a day on average ever since forced freelancer, but I try to play 10 matches a day if I can. If not at least 5 at the very least. Usually stay on the 33% win rate by the end of the week. Just keep plugging away at it and you'll get it eventually.

Maximum Ovoo.
Its not like the mode is going away...SE never does that. So I don't think they should take away the winning being a part of it. Too many players already just stand around by the ovoos and do nothing anyways.

Been grinding this nonstop since I got back around the 22nd of December. Over 400 matches, and around 92 wins. I WILL get there, but I may never touch Onsal Hakair again, despite the fact that it's actually one of the best PVP designs IMO, just from burnout.

And before anyone says it's never going away, waiting for the queue when the hype dies down is just going to turn it into a genuine slog more than the grindfest it currently is.

So to OP, I wish you the best and a high winrate, because otherwise it could take years.

No tomes of mythology in pvp this time, they learned their lesson.

We not counting Hidden gorge as PvP?






On the OPs complaint. I don't think 100 wins is a big deal even at 33% win rate. But in the OPs slight defense, could you guys imagine the complaints if PvE mounts took 300 runs and needed 72 people per run. Just a little perspective when you guys are thinking people are acting too entitled.
