Can we get rep/mount grinds like WoW has

railsdev84

It seems like getting the undaunted/fighter/mage guild skill line to 10, does not take too long and all we have are just quests besides pve/pvp content.

It would be cool to have rep with the different factions to grind out for rewards or more interesting mounts than just a horse. It would give the game more content, also it would be fun for whatever race you pick, to work on a quest line for them to get some kind of special armor, only they could wear.

This isn't WoW. If you want WoW features go play WoW.

Unfortunately this game has locked most decent mounts behind crown crates and one behind a very difficult achievement in a veteran trial.

Your suggestion is interesting and I agree with it.

You're right. It's more fun to use my credit card instead of doing content and be rewarded.

Not sure about fun, but it is a lot easier.

I do not miss the grinding of WOW by any means.

I wouldn't mind more achievement based mounts or really expensive ones but I've always been against grinding as a lazy way to prolong content that shouldn't be prolonged.

Our "grind" mounts are the event ticket Indriks. Also, the antiquities mount would qualify as a grind mount I think.

Oh hell no. I don't understand, it's like people love to be punished and slaved with dailies and endless grinds in a place where you're supposed to have FUN (a game)....

Can we get... grinds..?
NOPE

If you have too much free time go learn something new

so many knee jerk reactions of "this isn't wow, ree" the truth is - you can bring up any other game with mount systems that allows you to collect mounts through gameplay.

so how about a rephrase. could we get more mounts that we can earn/collect through gameplay, achievements etc rather then sticking majority of them into cash shop? like.. all we have is indriks, antiquities mount and occasional hard mode trial rewards. could we have more variety of in game stuff? and same for pets and costumes. sure we have some already, but bulk is still cash shop. so could we, i don't know - balance it out a bit more? add more to in game activities?

there. didn't even have to compare it to other games. the core of the request is - more in game earnable mounts. just because another game does it - does NOT make it a bad suggestion.

If there were as many in game earnable mounts as there was in game earnable housing, it'd be perfect.

You can grind many free things in ESO. These mounts are available beyond the ones for sale at the stables for gold.

Dwarven Ebon Wolf Mount using the new Antiquities System.

The Sunspire Champion Senche-Lion by getting the Sunspire Dragonbreak Achievement.

I can add links for further information on these mounts if you wish @railsdev84

Yeah! How dare someone mention adding something into the game and mention that game in reference! Relax. It wouldn’t hurt this game to add more rewards for doing the same trivial boring pve content over and over.

......so every single guild leveling in this game?

Bucky_13

As a former WoW player of several years: Please no.

There are a handful of things from WoW that I'd like to see in ESO, mainly allowing wardens to tame what ever animal they like as their companion. But grinding rep for mounts is something I don't miss at all from WoW, along with crafting and their classes.

EDIT: I also miss being able to hide shoulders on my outfits...

ArcVelarian

In how many different ways do we need to say no to making ESO like WoW for people like you to internally process that information?

Just because something is long doesn't make it grinding.

Motif's require grinding. Achievements require grinding. Antiquities require grinding. Getting a set weapon to drop from a boss requires grinding.

Fighter's guild? You can go through the whole game and level it to 10 without having to spend more than an hour in any one place. Same with Theives guild, Mages guild, DB, etc.

Just because you do the same thing to level up something doesn't mean you have to do it on the same mob.

I know why they require those to be grinded, so people wont abandon the zone after a week and help fellow players kill bosses or group content that cant be handled solo. As someone who doesn't always kill all the bosses immediately it can be nice to have people help.

NotaDaedraWorshipper

Grinds? Nope.

More mounts and collectables obtainable in the game? Yes. But no damn grinding.

There are plenty of other ways to add mounts, styles and other other collectables in the game without adding more grinding. Quest chain rewards, achievments, event rewards, or just sold by some merchant for gold.

RefLiberty

Not going to happen because all better looking mounts in this game are locked behind gamble boxes. That is the main bussines model and I don't think it will easily change.

Guyle

I mean, do we really need another re-skin of the same 8 or 9 mounts? Because that's what they are going to give you for achievement based mounts. Only hope for decent mounts is in future content, so keep following that carrot.

TwitterySnake

I personally would like more mounts to be earnable in-game, they have started doing this with the indriks and the sunspire and antiquities mount. The issue is that when you have like 12+ indriks and no other variation apart from colours and some little things, collecting the indriks then becomes extremely repetitive and boring. I stopped after the first 3. I don't feel that mounts should be given out easily, however. I think there should be some easier ones to get and some harder ones given out for the trifecta achievements (like sunspire). This does not mean I want like 500 mounts in the game and for you to get a mount for trivial tasks and around every corner, I just want more stuff to collect. I think what would be cool (just my thought it's alright if you guys don't like it) if they did what they did with sunspire with every trial. For example, for VMOL you could get a dromathra themed mount (not sure because they already have the senche and horse). For VCR+3 you could get a Sload-mind-controlled looking mount and so on. Just a thought guys not saying they 100% should do this.

Starting your request by naming “The Game That Shall Not Be Named” on this forum is a death sentence for a thread even if it’s a good idea.

Just because something is in WoW doesn't make it a bad idea, WoW has a lot of cool things in it (they also have a lot of awful soul sucking things) borrowing some of the cool ideas isn't a bad thing as long as they fit ESO, and honestly a grind-able mount or two isn't an awful idea. I'd also LOVE if they added some guild mounts to the game, something to have as a reward to the guilds that are super active, I'm not sure about the implantation, but I'd be all for it.

Grindable anything is awful idea. You will immediately get crown store shortcut that will cement grind staying as grindy as possible.

No. No, no, no, no. One of the reasons why I'm playing ESO and not WoW is the fact that there is very little grind. The leads are the most awful at the moment. And if you want certain rewards, you will have to do repeated runs of delves or dungeons or so. But *please*... not the mind-numbing, boring, stupefying grind that WoW is so enamored of... ;___;

there are plenty of grindable things in this game. some of those things are necessary for actual performance. so... that ship has sailed. even currently available in game mounts other then basic horses and achievements that most people cannot do - are a grind (indriks).

that said. one of my favorite things that WoW had oh since.. BC I think, and they have been adding more of that - raising your mounts. where you have to come back once a day and some tasks and it makes your little baby future mount - grow. or sometimes you are slowly taming them. or combination of the two. its something very similary to the way unlocking Dragonhold works - but at the end, you also end up with the mount.

i would personaly LOVE more of that. unlocking the dragonhold and seeing in change, seeing Orcinium being rebuilt as you progress through the quest chain... I thought it was pretty cool. why not combine that with mount acquisition added to the achievement vendors, or as a separate quest chain type thing.

in a nutshell. more in game earnable stuff. too many interesting models go directly to crown store IMO.

Danksta

Anti-WoW salt is almost as good as World First salt.

Red_Feather

Maybe the game will do that someday.

There is already costumes you can unlock by collecting Merits and Proofs.

A reputation system with unlockables could be a clean and neat way to reduce the inventory clutter and expand upon the system! Giving players lots of stuff to play for over long periods of time.

Great for player retention!

Oh come on man.... there is nothing wrong with asking about vanity rewards for achievements in an mmo. Countless mmos have done it other than wow. Or to assume such an inquiry would suggest the person just want the game to be like the mmo they have experience other than this one.

Reputation rewards is not a world of warcraft thing.
