Mounts rewarded from dungeons?

I think it would be cool to have 2 separate mounts per dungeon that could drop. You would have 1 drop from normal and the other from veteran. Say fungal grotto could drop a dreugh mount and Selenes a spider mount? I loved that from playing WoW and it is something cool, but also satisfying once you get the mount you want. It would give people more of a reason to run dungeons other than just for certain traited gear sets. Thoughts?

    Vet trials hard mode should have a 30% chance of a mount drop person.

    A normal dungeon? Lol

    Argh, no. That wouldn't be fair to anyone who doesn't/can't do veteran dungeons. I'd love if you could get them from a normal dungeon, though. It's bad enough that a ton of the dyes and skyshards are available only in PvP areas and veteran dungeons.

    Why not? Even WoW has some mounts that drop from Dungeons/Raids. Why only drop from Trials? Why not dungeons as well? Let the mounts be related to the dungeon.

    rather not

    the gold horses are good
    and the crown mounts are great

    if they would put new ingame non crown mounts,

    it should be a horse at stables

    or an other animal with either ap/gold at gold trader in cyro (heavy priced) or really low drop from
    vtrails (like droma'thra senche from vmol and somthing like, serpent armor senche/ thief armor horse, warrior armor wolf, dragon star armor horse, and dremora armor bear, for their trail) or those chance boxes (that also can drop polymorph) from the imperial city (like xivkyn/dead horse)

    if everyone could get mounts from dungeon (n/v) mounts would not feel special anymore

    Maybe a chance for a mount to drop on HM of vet trials but certainly not one per 4 man dungeon. To much work designing all those and I'd hate to see the pathetic designs they would offer so to not draw sales from the crown store.

    They did this in WoW and the tears flowed a plenty due to the drop rate and only being able to run the dungeon once a week.

    I like the idea of some different mounts, I would love to see a few flying mounts. Although as has already been said ZOS would never give free mounts.... unless we go back to a must subscribe to play, and then everyone complains about that as well. Now that said they could have a special achievement or token drop from certain dungeons that would unlock the ability to buy said mount. Not to say I am a fan of the crown store but everyone complained so much about having to pay $15 a month, this is what you get now.

    For achievements from vet trials mount would be a nice reward. But normal dungeons? Nah, too big reward for such an easy content.

    To be honest... I've spent enough money on cosmetics, Costumes, mounts, and the crates. Plus I am a ESO+ Subscriber. I'm very greatful for the content that ZOS has put out. As I stated I don't see a problem with certain mounts dropping from certain dungeons. Even if it has like a 3% Drop rate. I mean I did play WoW for a little while and farm for mounts. I didn't have a problem with it then. I would like to earn some special items in game. Items different from Momentos and crown based items. As far as momentos go I do Cherish throwing mud balls :smile:

    I'd imagine it would be more appealing for Veteran content. But how many mounts is that going to be?
    Perhaps a limited mount from the 3 different dungeons selections. Like the chests working with shoulders in each chest depending on the dungeons pledge giver. And one for each vet trials.

    But even then, while yes they have this in WoW, this isn't WoW. A lot of people expect a lot of features from other MMO's in Eso which isn't always viable.

    Suggesting free items is a bannable offence. You're breaking their balls, man. All those little ZoS kids will go hungry, and all ZoS employees have grown accustomed to wiping their arses with $20 bills.

    I wish there were mounts dropping from more challenging content like harder vet dungeons/trials. Something like (chance of) a mount if you speedrun no death hm CoS/RoM? :p . There was a pet awarded for completing all ICP achieves and while pet itself was ugly as hell I like the idea. It's a kind of fluff that actually makes sense. It'd be so cool to see someone on an awesome mount and be like "wow that's awesome, dude must be a really great player, I should try to get that too". Right now I just see all these undoubtedly very well done and beautiful mounts and think "oh great...another one with 50 spare bucks to spend on crown crates they made instead of fixing bugs". It simply ruins the idea of a pretty mount for me this way.

    Wish rare bosses would spawn that would be mounts throughout the world. Think it would be wrong to make them only available to Trial players because many people bought this game for PVP, questing, story, RP and could care less about Trials. Rare boss spawns all over including Cyrodiil would be incredible and one person would get the mount each time as long as you did damage to the boss or lets say healed within a certain meters from the boss. But it would have to be random spawns so bots couldnt sit in one place.

    I know that is wishful thinking and will never happen in ESO but its what i would like to see. I hate the fact that all the good mounts you have actually spend real money to have. Miss the days of getting cool stuff by playing the game.

    @JiKama It would be a nice gesture from ZOS to put it more unlockable rewards, sure, though I can't see them releasing so many mounts. I thought it was neat when they started having the extra skins from achievement collections in the dlc. Unlikely we'll see too much more, and definitely cannot see stuff being added to the vanilla game what with the whole no-subscription thing.

    WoW has a required monthly subscription fee, ESO has an optional subscritpion option that amounts to inventory management and fake-bux to buy cosmetics with. I'd be surprised if ESO implemented any mounts dropping from any content.

    @Daemons_Bane It's a cutesy thought, but an MMO thrives on having players log in every day to work towards something they want to unlock, not dumping a bunch of toys into the box. Not that I don't think there shouldn't be any rewards at all to doing 'easier' content, but I can't see it at all under ESO's current model.
    This won't happen because it doesn't make them money.

    @jakeedmundson They already tried putting 'player base happiness' above everything else when they went Buy 2 Play, no more of that pesky every-month fee to play huh? Oh wait though, now all of the mounts and costumes that would have just been in the game are now seperate purchases at higher prices because not everyone has to buy them.

    Most vet dungeons are easy af aside from dlc dungeons... If you can't do some content you don't deserve the best rewards.

    It's a mount. It's not a "best" reward. You know, I've enjoyed other posts you've made on this forum, so I'm surprised at your rudeness here.

    It's not really rudeness, it's just how a lot of games have worked over the year (not just MMOs of course). The bigger the accomplishment, the bigger the reward.

    Thanks for saying it in a polite way. :) Yeah ... I mean, I get that. I'm just of the opinion that a mount should be accessible to every player. I'm not saying EVERYTHING should be accessible to every player. It's my personal opinion. Not everyone has to agree with me.
