  1. @Jimmy.8402 said:I hope people eventually come around like this. Just because you probably won’t get the mount you want RIGHT NOW, doesn’t mean that you won’t get it eventually, and doesn’t mean that the one you got this week or this month is totally worthless. Own it. Enjoy it. Make it yours, at least in the mean time. I, personally, like having something to work towards. And I like that not EVERYBODY is running around on a fiery griffon.

    Now if only what you said related to some really difficult, time-consuming, in-game activity. Earning that mount. Working on it, slowly, piece by piece.

    Instead it's an addiction-exploiting shill of a "rewards system" which relies on people being unable to curb their desire to not be left behind, while trying to make them unaware of the average cost of the 1-2 items they'll actually end up using in the end.

  2. With this, the game's monetization has hit a very low point.

    Unlike gliders, which were pricey, mount skins are pricey and a gamble. On top of that, the majority of them just shift the dye areas around.

    And though I know that these are done by different people, it adds insult to injury that while finally we're seeing bigger attempts at rebalancing via the Reaper changes and the modification to Grace of the Land, at the same time something like Mesmer clones vs phantasms vs shatter (which extends into Mirage) goes untouched and other raid buffs like Alacrity and so on continue to require two of the same class to apply because the alternative sources in Revenant are so weak.Sure, these are done by different people. But this begs the question: If these mount "skins" are what we get, and with this monetization model, can't the company use less "artists" and monetization managers and more balance developers?

    Because frankly, if this is making a lot of money, I don't think I want to play this game any more. This is Activistion or Ubisoft levels of disgusting. :disappointed:

  3. In bullet points:

    • Better than HoT or Core
    • New loot-system is amazing, keeps inventory clean. Put it on all maps though, not only PoF.
    • Mount animations are amaaaazing.
    • Lack of meta events is good, balances HoT.
    • Bounties need more variety in abilities.
    • Mirage is a design-wreck.
    • Holosmith suffers from Engi base issues.
    • Scourge target number change was the wrong fix for a support spec.
    • Weaver and Spellbreaker are damn nice.
