We need rare mount/pet drops in game!!

Therwind · August 2016

I'd absolutely love to see mount drops from the last boss of each trial. A couple rare pet drops from random mobs would be nice too. You know, give us a reason to kill something.

Everyone like and want everything for free...

It would beg the question, "Where was that troll hiding the horse?"

Actually, there should be at least a few mounts apart from the basic ones obtainable outside the crown store...
Never have I played an mmo with absolutely no possibility of getting other than basic mounts outside of cash shop.

I'm a subscriber, I have bought all the DLC's, I even bought a few mounts from the store and I agree with @Therwind

I agree, I've payed for some mounts cut me some slack and give us one for free.

Sinolai · August 2016

We can have a few rare pets and costumes from quests and achievements. Would be nice to have some mounts too though.

bedlom · August 2016

I agree to this.
Maybe not drops but atleast some new ones now and again we can earn in game through gold or quest rewards.

What if this only applies to those who are ESO Plus subscribers?

that's not just about being free. it adds flavor. getting a rare mount from hard content is a trophy. different from just buying a mount from the crown store it adds to gameplay.

MasterSpatula · August 2016

I kind of find the lack of these kinds of things refreshing. That said, it's not like I'd freak out or anything if they did add them.

jeedrzej · August 2016

Well if I remember there is one pet to get in Base Game patch.
Maybe indeed there should be one mount to.

CreepyPahuska · August 2016

Well... the Necrotic Hoarvor used to be kinda rare, since you need to complete speed runs, hard modes, and no death achievements of the two imperial city dungeons, but the heavy nerf on those dungeons probably ruined that

Iluvrien · August 2016

Achievements, yes please. Group content, no thanks.

I have no desire to tie yet another in-game mechanic to the RNG system.

boggie · August 2016

Personally, I'd love to see a couple "rare" mounts that came out of the final bosses in trials, with a very low drop chance. Something where getting it was a huge deal, and even seeing someone on one was rare. It's an extra little "something" I miss from other MMO's I've played.

BackFreckle · August 2016

100 times yes but knowing ZOS they'd make them purchasable like the Imperial City Polymorphs after awhile. But sadly with them only being able to release lore-specific mounts i doubt they'd spend their time making free mounts to use up all the ones that they can work with

itehache · August 2016

I agree with the OP.

I understand zos wants to make money out of the crown store but I don't see why we can't have both. We would still be getting mounts in the crown store but they could add rare mounts/pets to drop at the last boss of a dungeon/trial. People who buy mounts from the crown store (like me!!) would still buy them and it would also give us more motivation to run dungeons and trials

Edit to add: We could also get them as a reward from a very hard achievement. At the moment, correct me if I am mistaken, we have dyes, titles and personalities as a reward. Adding a pet at the end of a tough achievement would be extra motivation (even though we play for fun bla bla I know, I don't care that much about pets, I want those damn achievements completed haha but it would be nice, of course).

Cously · August 2016

As long the *** isn't RNG I'm for it. Collectibles are always nice.

I usually expect my games to have gameplay in them. Not for free. For $60. If everything fun and worth collecting is removed from the game, why would we pay for the box at all?

I'm not saying it was removed from ESO, of course - but it's always good when we can get coveted collectibles by earning them in the game, not just throwing money at the crown store. The DLC added some costumes, pets and mementos unlockable with achievements, but not mounts. Why not? Give us one, sell different color varieties in the crown store, everyone wins.

Dubhliam · August 2016

There are already many costumes gained inside the game, without having to spend Crowns on them.
There is also at least one pet that can be obtained without access to any DLC.

But by paying one month ESO+, you instantly gain access to many pets, as well as unlockable costumes.

It makes no sense to let people have free Mounts, Costumes and Pets included in the base game.
What would the Crown store sell then?
How would ZOS make money?

The Crown Store is currently focused on vanity items, and it should stay that way.
Trust me, I played a MMO with a P2W cash shop.
Nobody wants a P2W cash shop, you least of all if you ask for free stuff.

JD2013 · August 2016

I would not mind a rare mount or two from some new trials or dungeons.

James-Wayne · August 2016

I have all the pets acquired from subbing the game in the first 12 months which with all the new players since TO was launched that would be pretty rare

Bromburak · August 2016

Make players defend flags of a town for at least 24 hours or defending emp for at least 48 hours and then add rare , random rewards to the special vendors in town.

At least 2 options to split Zerg to several locations and adding more team objectives to PvP than silly AP leeching only.

Wolfshead · August 2016

I would love that and maybe add some rare pet/mount on world boss ofc it should be random drop someone know which boss well drop and maybe add some rare or unique Dark Anchors aswell.

Honest World Boss and Dark Anchors is render useless after you have got the achievement done and honest i think this make a fun feature which both World Boss and Dark Anchors are more usefull and i hope ZoS well add it.

Voxicity · August 2016

Agreed agreed agreed. I miss playing MMO's where you could get super lucky once in a while and get a nice cool mount or weapon or something. That's how RNG should be done, not these god awful useless traits

Maybe some harder dolmens spawning rarely, random rare mobs that drop rare stuff... make the world feel more alive and exciting plszzzzzzz

Cazzy · August 2016

How does one drop a Mount?

I'd like to see them given as rewards though. Definitely.

We already have a reason to kill stuff. It is called quests, pledges and that slim chance of getting the piece of gear we actually would use.

3 gold from a world boss doesn't equal a reason to kill stuff.

Jimmy · August 2016

I really mount a mount that costs 10k crowns and only available one weekend.
That way I can have a really rare mount not many people would have.
Do it ZOS!

As far as the WBs in all the original zones. They should absolutely not drop mounts or pets. They are a complete joke and many of us could solo them before they were nerfed so most everyone could solo them. They also drop more than a mere 3 gold, not much more, but still.

As far as the new DLC, many WBs do offer more. Wrothgar has daily quests associated with them and um, yea, more than a mere 3 gold from that.

So, again, no need for adding this to the drop table. Oh, and if they did add them to the drop table then they would need to delay re-spawn to something like 2 hours since people would just camp the bosses. That would be a very negative effect, all around.

Well the OP said the mounts should drop from the last boss of a trial. My comment had nothing to do with world bosses dropping mounts, I was just showing how there is no reason to kill stuff in this game.
