Hello All,
With the absolute disaster of a first choice of a brown yeti being changed, Blizzard heard us. But, changing it to a recolor of a mount easily obtainable in DF, they don’t seem to get that for 500 mounts the reward needs to be prestigious.
Some might say it’s the mount collector’s equivalent to Gladiator! Therefore, it would make a whole lot of sense for them to change the reward to a blue version of this:
I personally won’t like the use of the Crab, it should be an unique mount like the Crab instead.
Blizzard should implement more unique mounts like the Crab without recolors as part of achievements like Glory of raids, Meta zone achievements and Big mount collection achievements.
The devs that worked on the Snapback Scuttler didn’t even created recolors on the games files, those Devs should be working on similar things instead of picking a model and changing colors.
Otter could be an option but at least add a Crown or Scuba Diving helmet to the Otter, some different assets to the existing mount.
You’re crazy if you think under any circumstance the otter is acceptable. Make it flying or swimming? That would certainly be better than what it is right now: a recolor of a mount that will be easily accessible to everyone.
But, the crab is an older mount (blizzard: check) and they could just recolor it (blizzard: check) and people would be happy with it (blizzard: doesn’t care).
I think the vast majority of the mount collecting public would be happy with that.
Does it? Why? None of the others were.
Did you pay attention to my response? Otter with a crown or a scuba diving helmet, the only otter with something different compared to the other Otters in the files. Some work besides the recolor, something to change it to be unique.
Instead of using the crab again, it’s ok to have the crab as a meta achievement, actually the most recent meta achievement are just recolors, that should change to unique models like the Crab was for 8.2 patch.
Just check Aurelids from Glory of the raid, Rare and A to Zereth meta achievement:
From A to Zereth:
Hirukon:
Glory of SoFO
Devs could had implemented some sort of animal model unique for A to Zereth and Glory instead of recolors.
Still throwing in my hat for an armored dragon of some type.
I like the otter, but I think it’s kind of a downgrade compared to the other mount rewards. But I am not complaining, I am really stoked for otter mounts, period.
But I like that my scuttler is a unique model also. Maybe a lobster mount next.
None of the others were…wait for it….for 500 mounts. Get it?
I guess not. It’s just another number.
I’d be all in a lobster mount and you can keep your crab! I want the crab too but I can’t go back to that place ever to farm it, lol.
I could be down for this. Tbh, I’d be down for anything unique that we’d be proud to ride instead of a recolor of an easily obtainable mount.
Confirmed, you don’t get it. 500 mounts is a lot and it’s a very round number. Believe it or not, it’s also half of a thousand. Who’d have thunk it?
Ok ok. I’ll meet you halfway with a scuba diving helmet if it can also have big majestic wings and fly. Deal?
And 400 was half of 800. I can do maths too.
My vote for a 500 reward would be a permanent jetpack mount (like the ones from Mechagon Island but they don’t have a time limit), 2nd choice would be the Curious Caterpillar.
Not very well, because neither 400 nor 800 are prestigious. Blizzard considered honor level 500 prestigious and gave one of the rarest and sweetest mounts in the game because of it:
Almost all the store mounts have some sort of way for flying, it could be an otter with magic wings (i won’t like it) or just run in air leaving water particles…etc
In games rewards should be improved just like store mounts, we can have recolors around rares, reputations but also some achievements should be unique rewards, that’s why i won’t like another Crab version, if you tell me the Crab has some sort of different ornaments that still impact the unique feeling of the existing Crab but also it’ll be a little bit different.
Count me in on this: simple, yet fun and unique.
Also in! Or Stormcrow, or a recolor of Jaina’s mount in spectral or something. Anything but a horrible otter recolor (OR yeti!).
“Here’s a completely different situation that’s far more difficult where blizz gave a better mount.” That’s not really making a good case.
I could get behind this. But what about….SPECTRAL OTTER?!??
What about….a horseshoe crab instead?
