Mounts rewarded from dungeons?

✭No, we already get monster helms free now. They gave us enough. Mounts through quest or achievements would be cool though. (WOW does this and makes it extremely rewarding.)Daggerfall Covenant:Casterial Stamplar || Casterial DK || Availed NB || Castyrial Sorc || Spooky Casterial Necro

make it available to everyone instead
@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.
I think you underestimate how much people would want to do stuff to get their mount
For a free mount, you could easily get them to log in daily.. Again, just take a look at WoW.. They make it work juuuuuust fine

Then you'd simply choose not to. You make it sound as if you'd have no choice but to do that 8 month grind. There are things hidden in certain dungeons i want, but I know I'll never get them as I've chosen not to waste 8 months of my life attempting to obtain a piece of fluff.0 -
theher0not✭✭✭✭✭Yes pls. Maybe not from all of them, but some should have them, at least veteran DLC dungeuns/trials, then it wouldn't really be free, but it would still be a reward for skills.
Personaly I would put one mount as a rare reward (maybe 10% drop rate from the final boss) in each CP160 vet trial(both base game ones, and DLC/expantion ones like Maw) and one in every 160 CP vet DLC dungeun.
The reason I don't think it should not be 100% drop rate is to make it harder for boosters to sell the mount trough boosts (like they do with the Maw skin)Edited by theher0not on April 27, 2017 9:59AM0 -

I really think we should leave trials out of it, so that everyone has a good chance to get the mounts2 -

✭✭✭ZOS Dev A: Oh hey people on the forums are asking for mounts to drop in dungeons.
ZOS Dev B: Well, how can we put that in the crown store?
ZOS Dev A: We could create new dungeons that drop mounts but you have to purchase a key in the crown store that unlocks a chest inside the dungeon that has a 2% chance to drop a really cool rare mount and a 98% chance to drop some crown utility items like food or potions.
ZOS Dev B: Brilliant! And if people don't buy the key, what do they get?
ZOS Dev A: The usual RNG.
ZOS Dev B: Let's start development right away. Why limit it to new dungeons? We could put locked chests in all the dungeons and trials and make a fortune off keys.Edited by Tabbycat on April 27, 2017 10:39AMFounder and Co-GM of The Psijic Order Guild (NA)

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 not that they're hard, it's that no one wants to take my 72CP never done it before arse anywhere.1 -

@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.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.
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 wrote: »KingYogi415 wrote: »Absolutly not!

I'll let you in on the secret to being a POS businessman
Easy Money (crown store purchases) > Money (base game purchases) > Everything else (player base happiness)
@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.
I'm on console... it always had an optional sub since the beginning for me. And who are we kidding anyway? like the plan wasn't always to have mounts in the crown store?CP690

I always wanted to see that in the game.Mounts should be super rare too !1 -
Ballzy321✭✭✭Maybe a mount could drop but u could only unlock it with more crowns than the mega dlc pack costs.0
-
Psilent✭✭✭✭✭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.
You REALLY want this all over again?
Haha, I must be an oddball.
I used to have a daily routine of logging in and hitting up old non-relevant dungeons in WoW to get a mount drop. Ended up getting a very rare one after 57 days and another one after 79 days.
There is a guy in my current WoW guild that has been farming a mount from a weekly locked raid since 2008 I believe. He finally got it to drop this past week; 451 weeks.1 -
FuriousFridge✭✭✭Agreed not fond of the horse mounts in game and the decent looking ones we can get are bought from the crown store1
-
It would be great to receive more rewards for content but not as simple as just run a dungeon. That is no achievement and the rewards would be common and worthless.
For it to work it has to be something that very few people can achieve to make them rare enough to want to strive to attain.
Just giving away free stuff for no reason just lowers the value of everything.0 -

Fleshreaper✭✭✭✭✭Please no, just no. It's stupid stuff like that is the whole reason I left that other MMO. They will put purely re-skinned mounts in those places and then put a better looking reskinned one in the crown store.0 -

JiKama✭✭✭✭As I've said if there is a mount that I want.. boom.. throws wallet at ZOS... BUT I would also like to earn some free unique mounts through in game achievements. I mean comeon who wouldn't want a giant SlaughterFish as mount through fishing achievements??? Well..... First we'd need water mounts.... but ayeeee.... would be fun0
-
Zaindari✭✭I think the only way for us to get what we want, and ZoS get the $ they need/want. Is if there was an achievement for a few select Vet dungeons and trails, that would unlock the ability to buy said mount from the crown store. I don't like the crown store, but it has been an effective way for ZoS to keep the game supported. As for anyone who can't do Vet content, I am sorry but not everyone can get a 1st place trophy, it would be pointless to get the same reward for doing a normal run as it would be for a Vet. Honestly I kinda suck at ESO and I cannot do alot of Vet content, I wouldnt want to take that reward away form someone who worked hard to get it, just because I am not able to complete it, but if I ever do it will make it that much better.
