well i think we have to accept this xpac will have the worst glad mounts in history:P would be sick if they made some void themed glad mounts that fit the patch like 2 diff ones like in dragonflight which is sad cuz hittin glad while doable still takes a lot of time and we get mounts which look level of trading post or worse xd atleast raid mount is by far the best i’ve seen since df1 and df4 glad mounts.

Bat is fitting considering how crazy it is to try achieve anything in arenas anymore with all things considered.
The rating system needs overhaul and not be participation dependant aswell, and if I have to fight against someone with say 11x glads on a 1800mmr then its not really “rival game” now is it, and I want to be rewarded accordingly. If there is 6 ppl and their 50 alts left playing the entire 3v3 bracket then the current rating system dont really work. I’m not playing against r1s on trivial mmr so I could gain +10 points on some low mmr either, matchmaking and the system makes no sense at all or are even rewarding. They might as well make the bat a prize every season, and that would be indicative of what this whole system has become.

Bro why you came into discussion with a whole another topic, create one of yours if u want to discuss getting owned in 3s
I swear this mount is made by one of pve m+ players who was jealous of glad mounts looking cool, so now he change m+ mounts EVERY SEASON of TWW, and give pvpers the ugliest bat

Imagine. They introduce a sick looking void dragon and what do we get? An ugly bat again…

They could give this void dragon from bfa s4 with armor, and this would be 100% better than the bat, even tho the mount is mid too

This season 0.41% of players have gotten the raid mount, 27.55% the m+ mount, and only 0.01% the glad mount. Unfortunately it makes sense to put zero effort into designing a mount that nobody will be getting anyway.

Now check the data for DF S4.
By your logic M+ mounts should be coolest by far every season,but thats not true…The reality is that whoever works on PvP and approve this ugly bat for 3 seasons in a row is a useless clown.

The ugly mount is 99% responsible for low participation on high end
No reason to push for some generic leveling mount, the ratio of time invested and the quality of reward is like participating in world finals to get a bicycle
Offer pvpers a ferrari and the competition will skyrocket

Anyway guys, how much in millions will mythic mount cost near the end of the season?
3.07% (and going up because still farmed) for the raid mount, 25.68% for the m+ mount, and only 0.21% for the glad mount. Gladiator rewards are just irrelevant for player retention.
You cant compare these mount % since Blizz invest 95% of their resources in raiding and m+ these days
Imagine blizz investing in pvp the same amount of resources
I swear blizz make like 20 mounts for pve vs 2 for pvp every patch for the last decade
Tmog, tabards, illusions, everything they do is like 20 for pve vs 2 for pvp
Also they invest in new pets more these days, compared to pvp, how the mode will attract ppl when there’s literally nothing
Blitz and shuff been fresh air, but its too late
It’s specifically linked with the state of 3v3 and the relevance of doing any effort towards its rewards if the state of arena is like this cause no changes done on pvp system in general after ss/blitz killed arenas.
If there is multi r1’s on 20 alts on trivial mmr onwards it matters very little what the mounts there looks like on 2400+. Theres ppl with 3k in blitz with 1.6 exp, they couldnt care if the mount in 3v3 were elephant or bat, that is pretty obvious. The appearance of glad mount is the least of what matters now. Whatever you make it look wont change the state of pvp we are in. This isnt even critical thinking its just common sense.
Yea it is not the “bat” or rewards appearances in 3v3 in general what killed tww pvp. And that is not even an opinion based statement like yours.
Mount in 3v3 is not the reason for arenas low participation, the reason is player base divided in soloqs and multiple expansions. Having seasonal rewards shared between modes and other modes rewarding rating easier than another because of participation based system affecting each mode separately.
Seems one guy gets it. I agree, thank you for the numbers provided. Related pvp in general they should overhaul their whole rated system now that they put soloqs in, before anything related glad mounts become relevant.
i have the feeling, that pver´s now getting the Glad mounts, they went completely on the “lets ignore the pvp guys” mode
PvP gets more attention on a Dead classic Server than on actual Retail wow, this is just peak comedy to me

Also imagine m+ players getting different mount every season in 2 colors, and pvpers getting the same one, I have no words
Ofc it is. EvERy sEaSOn HAs dIFfErENt DiStRIbUtIOnS bASeD oN AcTIvItY, so those glads are just rivals in that specific season and bracket.
But hey. can’t blame them, it’s definitely not their fault that I have 3200 mmr in BGB and 2200 mmr in 2s. I’m probably just that bad in 2s. laughs in 24000 2v2s played
or moving to cata/mop to farm rewards there
I actually feel that Cata glad mount (simple drake with kinda simple armor without special effects) is still 10 times better than this TWW bat
Blizzard actually tried rly hard to make tww glad mount as frustrating as possible
I dont believe I have ever spoken about anything else than state of deflated season and it’s affects with the entire pvp system, I dont think I have ever expressed interest of pushing glad either. Even less for the moment if arena stays dead and the pvp system stays unchanged. Seems youre making up things in this attempt to argue or insult or whatever were the purpose of the reply. Ad hominem or strawmanning are still not valid arguments nor do I care of opinion based takes, needless to say personal level remarks are also the least of interest or value to me.
Glads can also be bought, inflation between seasons also vary, aug or whatever else overtuned can also be played when it is broken. Your past seasonal ranks had no relevance with the post or topic you were replying but technically you are now helping pointing out the need for changes on the pvp system and the overhaul of the rated system cause of the pvps current state.
They can improve cosmetics of mounts and even increase rewards in modes, the fact that the entire pvp system is still dependant of participation wont change, nor that people will play multiple expansions and modes instead of pool entire player base in 3v3. If they split player base in multiple modes and expansions then they need to do changes on the rated system or it remain nonsensical when participation between modes and season vary radically. Improving cosmetics is the bottom of prios right now.
Player base is split in multiple expansions and even multiple rated modes now. The pvp system has became outdated if it is still based on participation and specific numbers tied rewards in each of the modes separately.
Blizz can change some mounts skin to whatever people would prefer and it would still not fix any number of other problems we now have cause of the pvp systems design. The entire system should be reworked now, cosmetics of how some single mount in one dead mode looks is least of prios atm nor wont fix anything no matter how much I would agree of the bad looks of these mounts.
