Keep in mind before i make my statement that im against the 10g and the fact that the stats are less than the store bougth ones.

You people do understand that these quests were made for lvl 20-30 adventurers right? Run them as a level 24 and tell me they aren't challenging. What do you expect from a quest thats 10 20 25 levels below you, did you think it was going to be a hard challenge? that it was going to be challenging running through it on your high level main. I doubt it, you most llikely, as most people i assume, thought man im going to run through this fast and get my shadowhound today (or unicorn). When faced with a long tedious grind on gray mobs you preceded to whine and gripe because it wasn't what you expected.

If these mount were put on a lvl 28ish 5 dot at the bottom of a dungeon it would have been overcamped by lvl 50's, that's not hard and challenging either, if you want a challenge make an alt get him mid twenties and run this quest line.

I don't know why you are agreeing with me to disagree.

The quest we have now is retarded. Plain and simple. It isn't challenging, it doesn't make the mounts rare or hard to get it. It's just a time and moneysink that anyone can do.

I guess i just misunderstood you then.

Sigil please use some common sense here.... at least make this a 70spd/45 mount stability mount....

I would be happy to do the quest and the grinding if it wasnt for the 10 g i donthave.

Same. For the time invested in the quest and the fact that the stats are worse than the T3 horses, the cost should be at least halved, if not removed entirely.

Agreed.

Yup I hope Sigil makes a tweak to them, because it makes no sense making people have to pay 10g. You not only make this quest not worth it besides the fluff factor, you make it almost impossible for many people in their mid-20's to actually get this quest done. 10g is quite a lot of money. If you want to make people grind or do long quest chains, fine, but don't slap them with a 10g on top of it. Make it half, or keep 10g charge but boost the mount stats. Either way, come on Sigil I know you folks know better.

With the bugs and performance issues people have to deal with in the past 3 months, stop disappointing players by making bad design decisions. It's OK to throw a bone to the players every once in awhile and allow players to enjoy something. Look at this thread, new mounts are DEFINATELY popular. I hope this shows Sigil that you need more fluff in the game, and fluffs like this get people excited. Just please, don't disappoint people all the time by making these dumb decisions where you think people will enjoy paying 10g, doing long quest lines, and getting something not as good as store bought 10g mount.

Thanks =)

I'm a lvl 32 ranger, I have gotten NO exp so far, and currently have a grand total of 2.4 gold. And you know what???

I hope they change nothing at all.

I have done right at half the questline so far. At first I too was moaning about all the grinding and the 10 gold. But after doing some, and realizing that I'm getting cash loot, armor, and will ultimately have a Rare mount that will be fun to ride...

Money is irrelevant.
Time is the cost. Effort is the currency.

Stats are Irrelevant.
Exotic looks and having accomplished the quest is the reward.
( jeeze, the little guy in the hut on the water told you this at the start )

Time is Irrelevant.
This is a GAME, and as such, must be played to progress or gain reward.

Risk vs. Reward is Irrelevant.
Because this quest and mount has nothing to do with risk vs reward,
it is all about owning and riding a prestigeious, rare, hard to get mount.

I figure with all the griping, VERY few will have these, and thus making them much cooler to ride.

[sumuji]

These are just the noob exotic mounts and not something that would be easy to get for appropriate levels. If you could afford a vendor rank 3 mount I wouldn't think it would be a choice because you'd be shooting for the unicorn instead. Not sure why it has 10 less stability but that's not very significant and doesn't outweigh the fact you're riding a unicorn, least not for me. I'm sure Sigil has their reasons.

[Butters]

cost of course should be zero, those that have the mount should have it refunded. This is a no-brainer.

[Faratha]

The intended stats for the unicorn and shadowhound mounts are not live.

With the next patch, they will be set to their intended levels: Speed 70 and Stability 50.

Go further south to the Serpent Grove. You need to kill the gemscale Anacondas (4 dots).

You are the new goddess, thank you!

...Okay, now we are talking.

[Pennilenko]

While it may not apply to everybody, i can rest assured that when i see a straight adventurer of appropriate level for the quests with a unicorn or hound, i will know that a happy RMT customer just ran by.

[Flipsyde]

Thank you very much Faratha. I am sure we all appreciate the heads up.

I just have a quick question though: why weren't the stats pushed to the live servers to begin with?

I am not trying to flame. I am honestly curious.

I'll wait for the patch after the next patch that lowers the cost to 5g

Not only that, but Elidroth confirmed it shortly after by saying 'the people still at Sigil continue to work hard'.

From Elidroth on FoH..

You'd be incorrect.

Nino still works here. He's on some much needed vacation which is why he isn't posting.

Zowch simply got homesick (well.. friend-sick really) and moved back east to be with his lifelong friends.

And by the way.. your concerns are NOT being ignored, shrugged off, or given any other such dismissal. We are well aware of the problems we face, and from my view in design, we are absolutely committed to fixing them. None of us have thrown up our hands and given up.

So much for the assumption that people who don't post much know much... I wonder if this is how that kid on Wiki was assumed to be some professor..

That is good news indeed.
