With this mount being so limmited to just a few months at the end of an expac and also the fact you may not be able to complete all the raids becuase they are only active one at a time. Its daft for it not be in raid finder difficulty.
Guild Wars 2's content looks like it went downhill with this expansion.
I think datamining and setting expectations on datamining caused this, I guess some people could have resubbed to do LFR for 3 weeks hoping to get a mount, but for some reason I find that hard to beleive and a lot of people just love to complain and pile on negativity (I do this on some things too).
Did they ever mention a fated LFR raid? I always thought it would be only for Normal and higher.
I do m+ I dont raid we dont have enough to do a raid so I guess pugging is the only answere and you know how that goes..
Yeah I'm skipping season 4 I may play wolk and then onto dragonflight
I joined a guild yesterday to run only normal for the mount…i dont want but it is what it is…then see u until dragonflight. Its disgusting but its Blizzard so i guess we shouldn't be surprised at this point
The prevalence of buying boost runs has made raid difficulty mostly meaningless when it comes to prestige or "earning" meta rewards anyways
I think that biggest reason blizzard should make it available to LFR is the sheer amount of player that that would incentivize to do LFR and to SEE all of shadowlands. There are a tons of player who just level alts, farm materials, and just hunt transmog and mounts and I think a lot of them may not see the raids till way later if at all so imo why not make the final season an actually celebration of shadowlands and get everyone to see all the bosses using a real incentive and not just gear cause most ppl know gear is replaceable.
It's another ground mount. Now if it was the fastest mount in game and a special dragon with some amazing ability, I'd be ok with them asking for nothing less than mythic. But it was the second most requested mount of that contest and it's pretty useless because it can't fly. So why not let everyone have it? It's not that big of a deal. I hope they change their tune on this, because it's a pretty stupid one right now.
I don’t consider myself casual, but I’m definitely not a raider either. Life’s just too busy these days to add WOW to my weekly calendar so I focus keys when it’s convenient to play a game.
Anyway, Blizzard’s reward structure for S4 has me concerned for DF… they say they’re changing and they’re listening, but they release a Season with very little for the casual players.
While I focus M+ on my main, my Alts are very much “casual” players and I see nothing to do for them in S4 other than maybe fated LFR.
Shame.
I disagree. (I have no opinion about if it should be obtainable in LFR or not.)
Anything on the PTR is subject to change and Blizzard has never endorsed datamining, and have even recently been trying to prevent it.
Players should never expect any information on PTR, and especially not from datamining, to be 100% accurate.
Isn't there also a controversy on how the mount looks? People were expecting something closer to that cat mount they recently released on the store, instead they made it into a saber mount.
@SoulSoBreezy Soooo..with Dragonriding…..I found 3 of those glyphs…how the heck do you level up your flying skills? The trainer page is blank. Do you have to have a certain number of glyphs to upgrade or to see the upgrade paths?
Recycled content. “Don’t worry guys we changed some stuff, it’s different”
Omg take my money!!!
Either this is them fixing a months-old mistake that the community caught wind of or its them changing their minds at the last minute. Either way this rubs me the wrong way, what’s so wrong with getting it from LFR?
LFR for me is about a lack of people, my skill level is normal and my time is mythic 🙂
i personally think any is fine. im a low end mythic raider, havnt played since 9.1 and im resubbing for this mount, eventually. i think its good that its normal and not lfr, because like the bird, like the mount, those were all on heroic and this is 'easier" to obtain already. however, as you said, this isnt a one boss, or even a 1 raid thing. you dont need an orginazed group to clear normal. however it isnt a 1 run kinda thing. the LFR model, like for the 15th anniversary event was lfr styled, and it went really well, and i think this should be the same, because of the roation and needing a full raid clear. But none of it matters, when the achievement literally says any difficulty, and isnt changed, blizz should honor that, wether they intended or not. they screwed up, they are on the way to redemption, and this goes 100% against that.
lmfao get shit on, learn how to do basic mechanics 🙂
I don't raid much, but I was going to participate in the s4 experiment, but if I can't get the participation trophy without subjecting myself to the petty tyrants of pugging, fuck it. No interest in spending more time waiting around for a group to form than actually playing. Wow pug community is insufferable.
They called it Fated and LFR isn’t Fated and that’s that. What’s the confusion lol
Solution: Make the jelly cat the 500 mount reward. Put the otter under the Normal Raid unlock.
Win for Raiders: They get a mount model before anyone else
Win for Everyone else: they're not locked out of the jelly cat.
Deathwing was available through basically an LFR encounter.
Normal is so easy to do anyways. Just do normal, it's not a big deal. I feel like it's a good idea that you actually have to work for the slime cat.
What is a "casual"? The guild I'm in manages to get AOTC with two x 2 hour raid sessions a week. I don't do M+, so I pretty much only gear through heroic raids. I reckon I'm "casual". So in that sense, I have no worries about a mount only dropping for Normal, Heroic and Mythic. I mean, every single season there's gladiator mounts, mythic raid mounts and mounts locked behind obscure features I have no interest in (ember court, etc.). I don't mind this, I'm not having a rage because these mounts exist yet I don't get them. LFR will likely be harder than normal anyway, because it will be full of people that don't want to learn mechanics. They just want the rewards with no effort.
I am visually impaired and I can't spend hours on end for a raid. I get migraines if I have to pay so much attention for so long. I had really hoped to get this mount on LFR since I can just go afk while queing and just move around a bit every 5 minutes or so. I also would get kicked out of pugs since I'm visually impaired and GTFO is a bit slower than visually being able to see things so I end up standing in the fire. And telling people I'm visually impaired has gotten me kicked before even starting before.
LFR is sometimes also used for disability related reasons.
you are just an entitled raider that just has the option to get it and doesnt care. ok we get it. its sad that use the word casual in your title like that. People that dont raid dont give a flying F how some1 got a mount. why would i care how some1 did something .just give option to every1 to work towards a reward! its called inclusion!CHECK THE MEANING!
Great content but the outro doesn't fit the mood. Just my opinion. Great vids tho
I have an answer to where the LFR people were… They don't keep up with wow updates until they are on the forefront. They casually log in and then expect the game to be catered to them.
Imagine a demon hunter tank. A demon hunter dps. 2 invoker dps and a invoker heals in a group
its not a mythic or hc mount, its a community mount, lfr need to get it.
Normal isn't casual anymore? You probably waste less time and sanity just pugging normal anyways. There is at least 4 months to get the mount. With a little effort even the most casual players can get this Mount. If you don't, then you don't. I mean normally these kind of mounts are only heroic/mythic. Then there might be something to claim entitlement to lol
I'm wondering if the LFR versions of the raid just won't be affected by the Fated system, and thats why the cat won't be available.
I have every AOTC, and I was even planning to just do LFR for the cat mount. I am on a raiding break. Most people I raided with aren't coming back for season 4.
I think it's not a great way to end Shadowlands. I could go and get the mount in normal, but at this point I barely log on. Unlike the past I am sitting on the fence about even getting Dragonflight. What are the incentives? Dragonflight has some exciting things for sure, but it is not enough. I have been on the roller coaster that is WoW for a very long time, and I am not seeing much reason to stay on. It's in Blizzards court to convince me. Watching my sweet corn growing in my backyard has been more desirable then logging in.
I find the discussion about Bigglesworth Sr. pretty useless and tiring… why? Cause it's ALWAYS the same 🙄
Always there are people playing the game for like 1h a month and complaining about not getting "all the cool stuff" -.- Sure it is a communication issue, this is blizzards fault.
I'm not that kind of person, that thinks only hardcore-Players that play 24/7 are allowed to get the good things and LFR-Raiders are BS or something like this.
But guys… get real! First watch ALL the rewards for the Fated-Meta-AVs… for normal you get a pretty cool Mount… for HC you get only a Titel… and for MYTHIC… you get portals to a Raid… WOW…. so Blizz already thought about the "Casuals" by placing the most wanted Reward behind only completing the Raids in NORMAL… not HC, not Mythic… but NORMAL…
Sure, it's on Weekly Rotation and you can pay Boosters to get this mount in like 20 min like for Curved or something like this… but if we look at the Calender…
Begin of Season 4: 2/3. August… Lattest now known/possible release of Dragonflight: 31.12…. this means… in best/worst outcome (depends of pov ^^) you have 4 Months to clear all thre Raids on Normal… since all three are rotating weekly this means: in those like 21 Weeks you have 7 Weeks PER RAID to clear it…
Also don't forget, first you don't have to clear every Boss every Week again (so you can sign up for special Bosses in LFG-Tool with Pugs) and second you can Save IDs for the full rotation i guess. Means:
Week 1: You clear Nathria till like Sludgefist. Week 2: you get Sanctum and also extend the Nathria-ID for this ID… Week 3: You go to Sepulcher, and also extend the Nathria-ID also for this ID and even the Sanctum ID… Week 4: You again get Nathria, extend the previous ID and start at/after Sludgefist… EZ…
And even though you are a slow progressing group… with this method you should be able to kill all the Bosses in like 7 Weeks…
And even if you don't want to wait this long… take the Pug-Method…
If you don't want to do all this methods… and still complaining about a Mount that is "hided behind a (not so hard) Raiding-Wall" than maybe think about if a MASSIVE MULTIPLAYER Online Rollplaying Game is something for you or if Single-Player Games aren't the better Choice for you 😉
kitty should be open to all.
The only right answer for a casual player is stopping playing this lousy game altogether. What I have been for some months now. Not planning to return. They are already starting to ruin into the ground also that potentially awesome feature, Dragonriding.
was in guilds that raided from burning crusade through to BFA, got AOTC when it was out, but this expac it has only been LFR. Disappointed the jelly mount won't be available as it means to get going to have to PUG normal groups, which is much worse than LFR
ITS JUST A MOUNT LOL
As a "casual" player who has not raided seriously since Lich King now as a collector of "stuff" and achievement whore I am hugely miffed that this mount is not available in LFR. I will now have to spend my time trying to complete the raids in groups that will no doubt kick me when my dps is not adequate or my knowledge of the boss is lacking. I will always try my best and I will do some research on the raid but raiding is not my preferred play style. This will only encourage gold making carries for casuals like me.
Transmog farming it is.
Also, is it that hard just to recolor the mount and give a different color for LFR like everything else they recolor for?
I mean clearly………… they want people to pay gold to be carried. They clearly like people paying gold to other people to win at the game.
It should be LFR. Who gives a damn? They have to raid every raid and play for at least a months subscription. Just leave it all raid levels.
I feel bad for your followers soul. Makes me think we should be doing pugs for free with them <3
