Why are you locking these very cool mounts behind ONLY the realm best times?
You could set these mounts up for the reward for getting platinum in general. This is a very poor decision, you are pretty much saying that the top players of the world get to have access to these mounts this is more strict than even the PvP mounts from Arena. This needs to be changed and make them an award people can buy after completing them on platinum.
The platinum armour recolours for the most part are extremely muted or just not great. They need to go back and cook a bit more in general I think, because realm best at the end of the season is pretty crazy considering we’re now all on a mega server. Most times on the mega server are held by a single group, so 5 people are going to get these rewards – 5 to a maximum of 45. Rank 1 gladiator doesnt work like this, no reward in wows history has worked like this.
To compare these rewards to something else, that was eventually scrapped, this is same as the realm first titles in original WoTLK that were never made available. Except theres 1 server vs 50 in original wrath.
I’m not sure why players want blizzard to make them all winners.
It is impossible in reality for everyone to be a winner and only dumb people teach kids in school that everyone can wins! everyone get a candy.
Hell No.
There is always rewards only for those who put the unique effort and show high level of skills.
This is the basic concept in any competition in life or in games, so blizzard adding new rewarding system just for the top competes!! is so normal and makes it challenging! everyone have the right to face that challenge and everyone have the a time frame to practice and improve his/her gameplay in order to win.
it’s so simple, if you want something work for it instead of crying to get it, if you love that new mount and wants it then get a team of friends/guild and do your best to win the challenge.
Sorry if my words is hash but the real fact is “people gets what they deserve”
Ok but why are they more restrictive than rank 1 gladiator? I’m not opposed to competitive items in the game, just keep the reward structure consistent. Top 0.1% of clears i would get a title and mount, top clear I get the reward because I have a character on a dead locked realm where there’s maybe 4 people on at peak time. It’s just a bad reward structure and im actively benefiting from it.
Not everyone will be winners, not everyone will earn a platinum ranking, some people don’t even bother or do challenge modes so they don’t really care, not everyone would earn it.
Its a game dude, there is no reason very rare mounts should be restricted espically if they are just introduced for the first time when they were never released in retail.
Sure, lets assume there are around 150k players currently, there are probably more that would make this a and this is beyond that, this would make these mounts effectively a 0.0008% mount making them unobtainable to 99.9992% of the player base, no mount or reward in this game has been ever that rare or restrictive in terms of what you need to earn it.
I disagree with this when it comes to super rare items.
again its a game, and regardless of how much you work for this, only a 0.0008% of the player base will have access to it which makes this stupid. Say you have the spot and in the last 12 hours one team manages to beat you by 1 or 2 seconds and you lose, that’s stupid.
Your words are not harsh, they are more ridiculous if anything.
from what i have seen being on the merged server’s so far is that there is maybe 2 teams in total that will get it an that may change closer up cuz there is a team running 1 tank an 4 dps an have gotten clears on most dungeon to a point where i don’t think any group could push it faster. For example Scarlet Halls is at 3:24 or 3:25 clear time for that group which is already at a point where there is very little wiggle room to lower that time down at all, just looked at the time’s an looked at the log’s that same team had gotten it down to 3:12 on their orginal realm so very possible to lower it but you would have to be playing damn near perfectly to get that timeframe. To me they should offer the mounts from H+ like it was stated they would be from before, an give the realm best time’s (which should be limited to 1 per group) a different item.
it’s wrong to compare the 2x because
The pvp rewards is from Players vs other Players
while the dungeon pve rewards is from Players vs mindless npc’s doing the same things and you can just keep going to push timers.
wow always had restriction on rewards, the restrictions is just different on level every time.
you’re joking right? xD Mop classic have only less than 50k players, 80% of them never stepped into challenge mode. that’s ~9000 so top 0.1% of that is 9 players.
meanwhile by blizzard making the mounts to top team on server we have 2x servers so 10players getting that mount. this is the reality this restriction is more fair than the pvp 1 xD
talking about items…some was super rare originally but talking which was gated behind hard raids, but this is just a mount that has no impact on the game play so if you care about it then earn it.
That is what im saying at most 45 people might see the mounts
Not as restricted as this
The merged servers have approx. 60k players total from the merge. These merged servers will see 30 mounts across those servers which would be a 0.0005% mount, nothing in this game has ever been that restricted in terms of a reward. especially something they never released and are only releasing in classic.
No raid has been “super hard” in mop or classic in general.
Cool, so let me go on my druid and get one of these times, oh wait there’s 0 druids in competition for this reward. So in your first statement of
is already false. This is not rewards only for those who put in unique effort, its rewards for people that play the right spec and class. There will be 0 warriors, druids or paladins with these mounts. A bad system when a third of the classes have 0 people in contention and 2 more classes are in a singular dungeon. The rest are monk, warlock, shaman, mage or priest. Under half of the classes take up 7/9 of the reward slots. There’s a reason why pvp doesnt reward the top people, because it’s not the matter of it being player vs player, the competitive nature of doing top percentage opens up for a better chance that any class who puts in a unique effort is rewarded. I shouldnt be locked out of a reward because I spent majority of the phase playing a guardian druid because the rewards are prohibitively restrictive.
In original MoP I was the highest ranked guardian druid in the US for challenge modes, I had nearly every title on a high pop server. In majority of classic I have been in the top 10 for feral druid in some form, be it cat, bear or warden. My druid will receive none of these rewards despite my skill level and having extremely competitive times on the mega server/mankrik. I do not have the tools no matter how unique my effort is to compete for this stuff if I didn’t already have a method to get it for free being on one of the old locked realms. It’s a bad reward structure if I cannot get the reward because I chose the wrong class at the start of the expansion.
true that considering the fact that BM monks can pretty much do more dmg than the rest of the party combined, along with heal to the point where no healer is even needed.
you have a point there, i take back my words!
you’re right it’s rewards just for the people that play the right class and spec
blizzard is giving rewards to anyone who clear Platinum and they wanted to give a special reward to those who ranked 1, if people think it’s unfair does this mean blizzard should remove any rewards to rank 1?
if this is the case then what is the point in obtaining rank 1?
tbh i would stay keep those mounts to rank 1 but also make those mounts to have a chance to drop from the “Satchel of Celestial Chance”
the only other rank 1 is the arena’s which is very different from here, but still more ppl can get that if they can achieve the required rank in arena’s to get it. For realm best time you would need to beat a time that is already gonna be very very rough to beat cuz most teams will push that time to be pretty much at the absolute limit of what anyone can do, and there was no reward for being the best team to complete it before besides a bragging right that i got it in realm best before the end of pandaria when this was first released an for me should not be changed at all to add anything extra to it.
alright so you want something to “legitimately” compare it to? in retail they have mount rewards from doing M+ during that season, to earn said mounts all you have to do is reach a certain M+ score which is basically doing all the dungeons in time on a +10 or +15. you don’t have to continuously push M+ to make sure you have the highest level for a specific dungeon to keep the mount, you just do the requirement and you get to keep it.
getting platinum on all dungeons should reward the mount, just like getting Silver/Gold gets you the challenge armor and pandaren phoenix mount permanently
This mount will be the rarest thing to ever exist in the entirety of world of warcraft because only 5-45 players will get it per region.
thats just stupid design sorry not sorry. There is nothing even remotely as rare and I am unsure what their reasoning is to do that
https://www.wowhead.com/mop-classic/news/these-previously-unreleased-mounts-will-finally-become-available-in-mists-of-377243?page=5#comments Clear deception, celestial mounts that don’t come from celestial content? what a joke
The thing is though, M+ 15 is obtainable by every single class and spec from what i know. But everyone earns the mounts/titles/mog etc if you earn the ranking. It should be that anyone who EARNS Platinum gets the mounts in general.
I agree it is a stupid design and Blizzard should know better.
Yup
Still disagree with this, make it available to everyone who completes Platinum, only about 10% of less of the player base will even complete platinum which still makes these mounts really rare, just not stupid rare.
What makes this all the mire crazy is the “realm bests” are LITERALLY 4 minutes… HOW DO YOU BEAT A CM DUNGEON IN 4 MINUTES?
No – this is what makes the mounts even cooler. There are plenty of other mounts for you to get if these ones are unachievable to you.
the mounts being available to 5 people (and the few people who buy the times from them) per server doesn’t make it cool, it makes it obnoxious
I mean, only if you feel entitled to it?
I think it’s cool that there’s a rare reward for the best of the best. There are plenty of other easy mounts for you to get. There are some cool mounts you can get from PVP.
