Patch 7.2 - Reputation Paragon Mount Rewards

[Deleted]

Can't we get it from the daily box ?

No. You can get it only from the one you get after 20k+ reputation beyond exalted.

[Eleccybubb]

i just don't know why they didn't have them as exalted rewards in the first place.

Because RNG is apparently the theme this expansion. Not the return of the Burning Legion.

Seriously, some RNG is fine, but they are really expanding on it with further patches...

This is why I'm on FF14. There is an RNG thing called "Wondrous Tails". Basically it's this book you fill up with 9 seals and try to get 1, 2 or 3 lines. It's side content. The seals are placed randomly and you can make the seals reroll into other places which is random. Point is this is RNG in side content and affects gearing and the main game in no way at all. The 3 line reward is a piece of special gear that doesn't fail materia melds but even then you don't need that gear because the basic gear is good enough to do stuff with. It's just a bonus piece of gear that you don't actually need it's just nice to have because it can save you some Gil.

Short story. RNG should have been side content in Legion. Not tied to gearing and other shit. This would have been fine imo if there wasn't so much fucking RNG already.

Or make them require like 50k extra reputation beyond exalted, or even 100k, whatever. Grind alone is fine, we get it. But grind together with RNG is not.

Why would they mix RNG and grinding together with almost every element of the game this expansion

Imagine having to do the Insane achievement and every time you got the reputations done, you had a CHANCE to get the achievement done.
This situation is similar.

Yeah I gotta agree with ya here. As someone who has actively started collecting mounts (I want that heavenly azure serpent), the thought that the new rewards are tired to RNG, AFTER a 20k rep grind is a bit disheartening.

[Rivin]

Ugh. I thought they'd be from any emissary cache, like the fox mount, not just the paragon caches. At least if it was from the normal caches you'd get a chance every few days instead of once in a blue moon.

Side note: still don't have the fox mount. >_> Might as well not even care about these mounts then.

[Venziir]

I'm guessing no one bothered to read the "Mounts are tied to specific zone caches. No indications if they are a 100% drop though"

[derpkitteh]

another point at which legion can be compared to wotlk to see a better system that worked well.

how did we get mounts in wotlk? we worked up reputation and bought them. with the argent tournament, we worked up a special currency and bought them. it worked very well, it was fun.

this new thing isn't fun. at all. why can we not just go back to wotlk in terms of game design? it was the most successful point in wow's history, and is seen as the best expansion by a vast majority of wow's playerbase. it was just better.

[JoshuaNLG]

They need to get the people who moved from the Diablo to the WoW team, off the fucking WOW team, World quests and Emissaries were a nice idea, that's it, everything else that was blatantly ripped from Diablo is just. eugh, no. go away.

[SirCowdog]

Guys! GUYS! Don't worry. It's not Blizzard's fault for making all these RNG rewards with a grindfest.

It's the raid leaders. Blame them.

[Spike`]

we need more more more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dont worry, its their way of extending content because we all know (i think) that after the 2º tier on each expansion 75% of their team leave to build the next one, the 15% left are just for building the last raid and some bugfixes and then.... 1 year without nothing

so ya, expect more RNG in other ways in 7.2 and 7.3 so for them we players have something to do and we dont have any reason to complain

If blizzard is happy we are happy, isn't that what they think on the immense good feedback that many players give (especially on AP and legendary) against their ideas and they simply ignore or make it even worse?

GL to mount collectors, i dont care for this mounts but respect who do

Atm i only login for raids and only because have almost 2M and pay with gold, if it was by money 1000% sure i wasn't playing this casino

[Raetary]

ok, they are really taking it a bit too far with the rng for my taste

especially for such terrible mounts.

[FelPlague]

based on the acheive, and the massive amount needed
i can bet you once you get the acheiv its garunteed...

(I ucking hope)

So what you are saying is, RNG is fine for things you don't need, like gear (?), but not for something you really don't need, like mounts? Riiiiight.

OT: A flying carpet mount? That sucks. It should stay unique for tailors.

This RNG stuff is making me just not want to play anymore. I've been subbing since patch 1.4, went to Blizzcon three times (and we're not locals), and now I've just checked my expiration. June 9. ... Just removed the credit card info. Screw this.

Why not just have mounts being a reward for reaching exalted? It's a fun reward for reaching the end of a faction. This is a stupid and unnecessary, 20k fucking rep.

[Lillyth]

20k rep is a lot for just a chance at a mount. That's like a month+ per cache, and when you open it you find 800 resources, an 860 wrist and a curious coin? Fuck that.

You get a chance with every cache. The reputation reward is an extra cache on top of what you usually get.

Because Exalted is piss-easy to get, and at this point it would literally just be giving 5 free mounts to everyone.

The mounts are rewards and incentives for world quests, which people are doing all the time anyway. They are not meant to be something you "grind" out in one go... they are stretch rewards for ongoing play.

[SirCowdog]

Because Blizzard really wants to try and give people a reason to keep logging in and grinding away at those world quests, even when they're otherwise completely useless by now.

[The Flavour Cat]

The thought of having to do so many wqs just for a chance to get the mounts is annoying. It's so simple (And would be better) to just slap them as an Exalted vendor item for gold.
