New Mount Collector Achievments

Community General Discussion
1

Yet another Mount Collection thread, but hear me out. A lot of players are enjoying the collectionst side of the game, and see it as a “meta-achievment” thing, where all the effort you put into each type of content gets immortalised into something you get to keep forever.
You reached Exalted with a faction put in the game 10 years ago? Here, take this mount. You did this Glory achievment on release week? Here, keep this.
I only hit 400 a few weeks ago, but have already made some gains above it, and starting to feel a bit bored because I don’t have a greater goal to work towards. There are so many mounts added in 9.0 and 9.1 as well, that I feel either 9.1.5 or 9.2 should be the right time for the 450+500 mounts achiev. Think about it, there are lots of ppl with 550-600+ already, and the max mount achiev should feel like something special, cooler then the rest of you hundreds of mount you gained over the years.

The next achiev mounts should 100% both be flying. No other way about it.
If anyone from Blizzard reads this, here are some suggestions:

450 = Badass limousine style rocket, gifted to you by the Bilgewater Cartell boss himself, Gallywyx. Could also come with the title “Mogul” or something like it, to represent the amount of farming/collecting/gold you put into it.
Nice black and red finish + the option of carying a passenger.

500 = A flying Mini-Island, named Piece of Azeroth or something, that has some element from each zone in Azeroth. A palm tree there, some grass there, etc. Should not be overdone, but should feel real special. Like all of your adventures over the years in wow have gained you your own little piece of land.

ZERO RECOLOURS.
Do something wild, fun and memorable for you playerbase that has put so much time and money into your game. If the shop mounts can be so cool, so can be these mounts for memorable feats of strenght.

Those are some ideeas. I guarantee you there will be a lot of reward in terms of player engagement, and will pump some life into old content as well.

I’d love new meta rewards for mounts collectors. Personally I’d vote for a multi-people carriage mount for as much as 4-6 players (being able to transport a whole party is pretty cool).

And should you read this Blizzard, and think hey’s thats a great idea let’s make a Horde and Alliance version I’d just like to say NO FLAGS please and thank you. In fact feel free to just keep it faction neutral. The Revendreth carriage is cool enough, just make it work properly on roads.

They need to add one for each 50 up to 700 at this point. They’ve got lazy on this. I hope it is addressed in 10.0.

Sadly I don’t think we will get a carriage for a collecting reward. It would be too much for people to catch up on.

I would totally love to see a carriage added though through some other means.

Ion has already said no which is a huge shame as he feels its unfair to new players and out of there reach which is not true at all as there is so many mounts now a new player could reach 500 easily .

They under estimate how much some of us like to collect stuff

The next mount will be BfA themed probably.
Azure Serpent - Pandaria
Ice Thingy - Warlords
Fel Bird - Legion
BfA- ???

Ion in a surprise to no one doesn’t understand content outside of raiding or m+.

If it wasn’t that WoW has a done of collectibles I’m not sure I’d spend time in it over FF, as that’s one thing that game lacks massively (for me).

Hmm you’ve got a point there, another way would be fine too.

Give us that carriage! :grin:

Really? Did not know that!

But bah… it would take some work but it’s definitely doable even for new players like you said.

10

I mean not every single person has to have it.

its supposed to be a reward not a handout like few other recent mounts.

then again reaching 500 mounts is easy peasy, im at idk 450 rn and I’ve been playing 2ish years and barely farm any mounts.

11

Never understood people’s obsession with mounts and prolly never will. What’s the point in baving hundreds upon hundreds of mounts if you can only ever ride just one? I ride the mount I think is coolest and/or matches my transmog the best. If they make a cooler one, I will get that one and ride that one. Why would I need any more?

12

I can respect that, everyone does what he wants in a MMO, but then why comment on a thread that is not addresed to you? You should respect others peoples goals too.

And this is the problem Ion doesn’t understand. This collector achievs are not addressed to the super casual guys who don’t collect at all, they are a reward for people who do. Why should they be punished for achieving stuff thats IN THE GAME.
There already are very hard mounts to get in game, like the MoP world bosses, the 500 Honor Level mount, Big Love Rocket, and a lot of Unobtainable-Anymore as well, so it makes no sense to not add a Very hard mount, when there are already much harder mounts to get then the 450/500 collecting achievs.

I’ve no idea why I would do a raid or dungeon more than once, once I’ve seen it, why would I repeat the same thing again?

14

Excuse you? In what world does he understand m+, seeing as he’s forcing the m+ players to raid if they want to stay competetive in their game mode…

15

Some of you . They have data proving there is so few of "you " that they dont have to care. Also on this ion is correct

I know this is the reality, but I don’t agree with this post one bit. Why would anyone have to catch up on anything? It’s what’s wrong with the game imo. If you put in the effort, you can have all the rewards possible, why would someone make rewards for everyone? They wouldn’t be rewards in this way.

Think of it like this, there are 4 major types of mounts in the game, that are the hardest to obtain, let’s break them here:

  • PVP gladiator mounts, that are for the best of the best. I personally never attempt these, as I know I’m nowhere need good enough to even try. It makes me sad to know I will never have one, but it’s just the reality. I don’t feel entitled to something I know I can’t have.

  • PVE top mounts i.e. mythic end boss & KSM. Ok ye, you can get a boost for these, but let’s assume people don’t. Getting the mythic endboss mounts is usually hard as hell, specifically the last boss of the expansion. I’m hardcore mount collecting, and I still don’t have mythic argus & mythic N’zoth mounts. Sure i’m farming for them now, but at the time, I didn’t feel entitled to get them, since I didn’t put in the effort.

  • Gold gladiator mount - Longboi. Yeah, forever gone opportunity. The funny thing is, that I actually circulated around 8 M gold throughout BFA, and I didn’t buy it. Jokes on me, can’t be entitled for it if I didn’t work for it hard enough.

And now, we have the mount farming gladiator mount. Except we don’t, due to opinions like ‘We don’t want people to feel burned out before even attempting it’, or what Ion said… It’s nonsense. An excuse for them not creating something really unique for the most persistent of us. I’m on 574 by Simplearmory, and it’s something I want to show for. I deserve a unique looking thing, I worked hard for for the past few years. Feel me?

I would like more unique mounts that don’t feel like filler.

I got 521 mount sounds impressive right ?

what if i told you over 50% are the same mounts just re-colours … damn that sounds boring. Yep ! That’s the problem with mount bloat , also most of us had gone past that mount hype we experience in woltk. Where for the first time we got to ride soemthing past our faction mounts.

She has over 640+ mounts herself she is just saying what has already been said by Ion there will not be any new achives ATM her being a collector herself would love more mounts and achivemenets i wish people would stop reading more into her views and chastiseing her .

There is so few mythic raiders doesnt stop them making content .

You cant even spell his name correct and as always you are here in a thread just to troll .

19

I’m not negating her? I’m expressing my opinion with their decisions. It’s 100 % clear it’s not her fault and it’s not her decision.

Having to play other modes whilst parts of Legion for collectibles can’t be solo’d…
