Rare mount drops.

The_Payne_Train

I'd like to see ZOS implement mount drops from end game trial bosses or exotic mobs. Have a very low drop rate and make it a long term grind to achieve these mounts that we are able to show off.

Eg. similar system to how the polymorph drop with molag bal.

what's everyone's thoughts?

I'd be for that to some degree, but the Molag skin drop percent is so low it's almost maddening. But I could see having a reasonable chance to get them in the weekly coffers and a smaller chance to get them via grinding.

I feel like the game needs something that does take some time to get, or earn. for example if an item drop that unlocked a quest where you had to go do things in raids ect that were challenging before you could finish the quest and unlock the mount.

So, maelstrom weapon roulette isn't doing it for you?

Honestly the stuff like the Dro'm-athra skin is probably far better. Brutally hard to get, but if you earn it, it's yours. None of this "I can run moderately difficult content all week until I get lucky."

no no no no RNG BAD

Such items should be earned through time investment.

I'm guessing you weren't around for the crap-show that was obtaining a velium swiftblade, cruel colossus blade of quickness, baron rivendare's mount.

The way WoW handled obtaining a Thunderfury circa 2005 is exactly how "rare" items should be obtained.

Prestige not luck.

I was around for those days and the onyxia mount farm, I found it not to be bad at all but like you said with the wind seeker having a big quest around the item drop would be awesome for end gamers.

Can we please not?

Can we please not do the invincible thing from WoW?

Nope, "long term grind" coupled with "we are able to show off" sound extremely stupid.

So NO. Hands down NO and NO.

I posted this exact same thread and ideas a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately no one cares. It seems most people like the crown store which is mind boggling. Everyone wants balance..... In other words everyone wants to be exactly the same. Looks like we're stuck with skins, but I can see the same ones we earn in game on the crown store one day.

So you are more interested in buying mounts, this is more so for people who play a lot and a lot of trials to help others ect and having a rare end game mount that is hard to obtain would be good for those as a rewards people as your self who are casual and don't like earning things can still resort to the crown store.

Hardcore PvEers already get all the new skins and titles. The Molag Bal grind is a nightmare to organise anyway.

Imagine the tears when they would have made the Dro-m'Athra mount drop from VMOL Hard Mode. Oh god, the horror!

No, I'm far more interested in having neat stuff I can show off tied to actually doing something impressive. Not doing something monotonous until I get lucky.

With a .5% drop rate. Because FML, right?

The_Payne_Train

why I said drop rate is due to the realism of having it impliments, having a quest item where you go out on a big quest to earn it would be amazing... zos would never do it for end gamers alone that's a fact and is well known. but having something that yeah may be a drop but would be for end gamers who constantly complete these trials I'd be happy with that as a start. but I agree I'd rather earn then roll a dice and see if I get shafted or not.
