Mount Training Changes

DenverRalphy · March 12

I remember they talked briefly in the reveal about their thought process on how they landed on the change to mount training. But I'm still not sure how they landed on it.

IMO, if they were going to extend daily training to 3 skillups per day, why did they land on all three having to be on 1 trait only? It would have been so much more versatile if instead a player could disperse those three points into whichever combination of 3 they liked. 1 each, all 3 in one skill, 2 in one and 1 in another.

Any chance point dispersal could be added?

Because the way it is now, they may as well had just reduced the total from 60 to 20 for each skill.

I was annoyed that my character couldn't pay for her last training level on Monday because she only had 250 gold in her pocket. That last level cost double what it did last patch!

I get making it cheaper 3 for the price of two, but 1 level for the price of two isn't right?!

This is what I thought it was going to be myself, one point into each stat, not three into one. I guess it ultimately works out to the same number of times you need to train but it would have been more convenient imo to get the one point for each stat than the three for one.

They talked on one of the streams about this. I think the reason given not to do 1-1-1 was to allow more player choice. I imagine another reason is that most people do not train their mounts symmertically, so this would have disadvantaged players who are partway throught their mount training.

Point dispersal would have been nice but I expect they felt that would have been more technical work to implement.

It would have literally been nothing more than increasing the number of times you can purchase a skill up from 1 to 3.

I still think they should have just let us purchase all 180 riding lessons on day one with an increasing cost that resets every day. Then people would be able to get it done faster at the price they think is acceptable. I have over 2000CP. I can grind to max level in less than a day. I have the gold on me already. Why am I not allowed to spend it?
I've already done the 180 day login challenge, I don't need to do it again. I don't care if it's now just the 60 day login challenge. That's still 20 days to get to max speed and 40 days to also get the inventory space I need.
