With the coming Mount Equipment, its looking like Blizzard is once again taking features that are special and unique and homogenizing so that everything is the same and bland.
Mount Equipment - Why can’t we have nice things? Why do you have to break features that players enjoy to bring us features that nobody asked for and that remove the uniqueness of things that we acquire in the game?
Are you designers really this bored that they make changes to the game for changes sake? Stop. If you all want to create a new game, with new features, then go create a new game with new features. Stop mucking about with a formula that players already enjoy, just so you can add crap that doesn’t really add any value to the game, while at the same time removes value that it did have that made the experience special.
You mean like everyone using a single mount for water walking? How is that unique?
Edit: Scroll down if you want to see my arguments, I’m muting this thread now since I made my point very clear and am done arguing with certain individuals that don’t bother to read what I said.
It’s unique because only one mount had the ability. I didn’t even have the mount. taking the ability to water walk and giving it to every mount makes it a bland ability that every mount will have now.
I mean, multiple mounts now being able to have the ability makes it LESS homogenized since now the only mount we ever see won’t be the bug (theoretically).
Personally I think this mount equipment is an awesome idea. Perhaps your issue is the removal of the strider’s ability, which is a different story (one I personally don’t care about, and there’s a billion threads on it already) but would fall under “Stop taking things away” as opposed to “stop making everything the same”.
I can say the same for you. Let me break it down for you, since you clearly don’t.
“Homogenized: made uniform or similar.”
Having THE SAME MOUNT EVERYWHERE, one single mount, one single bug, is homogenization. Everything is UNIFORM AND SIMILAR. With mount equipment, DIFFERENT KINDS OF MOUNTS will be able to be granted water walking.
This “but mah mount has a unique ability” falls entirely flat when it’s the only one ever used and ever seen.
Literally gave you the definition right there. I should have figured posting in yet another useless “but waaah my water strider” thread would end up showing that the OP has no idea what they’re talking about. You don’t even have even a remotely valid complaint.
…How is mount equipment, which literally allows many mounts to be used with a variety of options of abilities of which they did not have before, along with giving you the choice of said ability, anything remotely close to “homogenization”…? It’s giving you more options, for goodness sakes.
Leave it to GD to complain about something actually useful for the game being added in, though.
How can you be objectively be wrong in everything you say. Instead of having everyone run around on one mount you can use any mount you want. Besides if you want a different equipment for your mount you could use the parachute or anti dazing.
Along with “They have a different opinion then me, time to complain about it and claim they’re wrong!” classic.
He’s talking about mount equipment and whining about the strider’s ability no longer being unique. Not even about it being taken away, which is what most people have a problem with. No, it’s “BUT OTHER MOUNTS CAN NOW SOON DO WHAT IT DOES, OH NOOOO!”
Class armor sets are an entirely different story that no, I’m not happy about the removal of either. The armor lately looks atrocious.
Literally the only thing being changed is that the water strider which takes four hours to get with alts on a MoP timewalking week no longer will be the only mount with water walking. Which is great, because it does make things more different and diverse, as guess what? Not everyone will be using the same bug mount to get everywhere.
If you were complaining about “But they’re taking away strider’s ability!” that would be different, but no, you’re legit complaining that “this one single bug mount that is the only thing people use will now not be the only one with water walking and therefore the game is less unique even though people will now be using different mounts”. What kind of logic even is that?
Now, do I think mount equipment would be more beneficial per mount? Yes, but that’s a different story.
Except they wont have all the same abilities because from all of them you can only pick one. Why pick water walking if you got fly and the only zones you are in with no fly are jam packed with enemies like Argus. Its a dynamic system that lets you choose your own equipment.
Ah, yep, you added it in. That’s how I did it too!
