Essence_of_Light Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Then reskin the tank and transformer then after 6 months of exclusivity for the Rancor mount. Fair is fair. I'm 100% fine with that. I wouldn't really care in the slightest because in the end because it is a fluff item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essence_of_Light Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Armor weapons and titles? Who cares, PvE has exclusive titles and (I'm no expert) I wouldn't be surprised if there were exclusive armors and weapons. But honeslty, I don't care that the SKIN is exclusive. The tank isn't reskinned on the CM at all, and until only the skin of that mount if exclusive, it's not a fair deal between PvE and PvP. Oh, lol, I get it now! You just want more exclusive items just because PvErs happen to have more then PvPers. Well, life isn't fair. If I see Bob down the street with a Ferrari because he can afford to buy one with his higher paying job, it doesn't mean I should be able to get something equally as good for working in a lower paying job. Also, shouldn't the fun of the game be reward in itself? Or do you need to be given things now to feel special?

ThelemachusRhade Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 So do you want say the Cyborg Rancor makes it three mounts that are exclusive to PVEers? I somehow see this getting there. That didn't really make sense but I made my suggestion already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essence_of_Light Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) That didn't really make sense but I made my suggestion already. He is saying that we're (PvErs) getting another exclusive mount when the new NiMs come out. Its going to be a Cyborg Rancor!

Slicka Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 That didn't really make sense but I made my suggestion already. Sure it does. I'm sure PVPers will count that as an exclusive skin because no other rancor will have robotics on themselves. Hmm, all this talk makes me want to ask for a cyborg bantha.

This is a game not real life. And FYI the season 1 armour and weapons are just reskins of the top current PVP gear. That doesn't make it new.

OddballEasyEight Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) There are plenty of old armour sets floating around that you'll need valor to use. There are plenty of weapons that are only found in the PvP vendor. And if you really want a "tank" looking mount, there is always this, this and this on the CM and Rep Vendors. Oh, you don't think they look exactly like the tank mounts? Because they don't have guns? Well the CM rancor won't have cybernetics or tatoos apparantly, so it's close enough. Or you could just, you know, play those ops in NiM with some buddies. Heck, you don't even have to be geared as long as the others are.

Slicka Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Let's be honest with ourselves. Did any of us think we'd be posting in another "PVP needs exclusive items" thread? I honestly didn't.

Zorvan Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) It'll show they have no respect for the PVP community. A developer panders to where the most money comes from. PVE population > PVP population in every game that isn't strictly PVP designed, i.e. the majority of all mmos. It helps to remember you're in the minority. If it makes you feel better, you *might* be a larger minority than RPers. Edited March 1, 2014 by Zorvan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it makes you feel better, you *might* be a larger minority than RPers. Harsh but true. That's what it boils down to for me. The rancour is something that has been asked for a lot, and I get the distinct impression that it's something iconic. Why would Bioware only give it to what amounts to a small part of the player base? Instead you have an exclusive version of it. Perhaps they should have just made some tank-like mount the reward, then the OP would be happy? Right?

Hakkology Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 For the love of god this game has the most twisted, most whiny PvP community i have ever seen my entire MMO history, even with WoW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelersWay Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 No the argument is that they are showing favouritism to PVErs. Go read the post again. And why shouldn't they? PvP is only a small portion of overall playerbase in any MMO. Face Facts people - the RPG genre is PvE and always has been. Just because a new facet of that genre allowing for perpetual on-line play and interaction with other players is possible (and has been for two decades) does not change the fact that the overall genre is still geared towards PvE.

Test_Eagle Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Can you provide a decent reason why one of the most requested mounts by SWTOR players (PVE and PVP), should be only be accessed by PVPers? Forget about the NiM mounts, nobody requested them and most people I know don't even care about getting them unless they are a collector. So give us a reason why BW should deny everyone but PVPers a mount they have been asking for since this game launched. Edit: And if you really want an NiM mount reskinned for PVP rewards, get the PVP community together and ask for a reskinned model in season 2.

Icebergy Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 All we'd like is something exclusive to us and only us, and seeing as PvE people already have that in the form of two mounts, I don't think it's too much to ask. News flash, you can go get the "exclusive" speeders too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drakensang Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I agree this face-slapping has to stop. I suggest that BW/EA slaps PvP-ers on the butt in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
