"Mounts fix"

[Skorn]

I'm don't often create a thread about anything, but for this I'll make an exception.

So I'll be straight to the point. You guys "fixed" the mounts bug (above all the other matters that need to be resolved) ?

You fixed something fun and armless ? Why ? Fun Police ?

If it is about the lore, off course some combinations where silly. But come on, you can't tell me that an elf can't ride a horse (plus they have horses actually, yes, even the Druchii). I bet that since the more "exotic" mounts are on destro side it doesn't really impact order (what human/elf player would want to ride a jetpack anyway).

Anyway, just to tell the devs, seriously, fix the game all you want, but don't take the fun from players who actually like being able to just change mounts from time to time. That didn't impact the game balance at all. And apart from some buthurt really hardcore roleplayers nobody cared that much.

My entitlement alarm is /screaming/.

Reasons it was fixed, in order of severity:

- Magus mounts on non-Magus players and non-Magus mounts on Magus players showed completely unrelated meshes
- Against the lore
- It's a bug (use-item career / race restrictions required this fix)

I'm not afraid of fixing something just because there's going to be short-term backlash over it.

You guys "fixed" it? Dammit I dropped like 45g+ trying to find the "perfect" mount


I was tired of the stupid ho hum boar

Don't be so jumpy I'm non emotional most of the time.

1 - It's a matter that can be solved by just prohibitting the use of the magus mounts to any other characters than the magus itself.
2 - Not against the lore for the most part. Again if it was against the lore then dwarfs would be on foot. There's many books and storry depicting characters using other mounts type than what their races are "allowed" in war online. Dark elf on dark steeds (you even have some in game). Goblins on boars, spiders, wolves. Humans on demi gryffins/horses etc. Chaos servants on steeds, beasts (comprise boars and disproportionate wolves (wich are not in the game ... tiny thing are tiny ...)) and on and on. Fine, Humans/HE only use a limited amount types of steeds.
3 - Then it's like modding, you just have to tamper with it to allow a greater variety of combinations on the specifics items only, not on the race itself.

it's more important to fix a bug on mounts, rather than correcting the true bug of the game .
example buff or Debuf that work side order and not destruction or the reverse.
bugger of skills
but it's more important to fix mounts !

@nodsavage: You have no idea what the hell you're talking about and should stop posting.

That patch fixed a lot of ability issues, you just didn't notice because you'd rather play the tired old "hueahueah ur piorities are wrong loll why u fix this first???" card, which has never been seen before, oh my dear lord no.

Did it ever occur to you that fixing the mounts was a matter of adding two lines of code into the inventory handler?

@Skorn: I don't really even care to justify it further, because it was a bug fix replicating the live handling. This is why I'm so annoyed that we've now got a developer attack thread open because of it. Yes, I could have chosen to restrict Magus mounts but that would have been wrong, because the live game didn't do that, and I'm not going to risk the wrath of a company which is known to care a lot about how its IP is portrayed over a trivial thing like mounts.

Aza, why do you even bother to reply to these threads? Save your nerves, man.

[Skorn]

"Developer attack thread" ... With that reasoning you could tell that I'm the one behind the Ddos attacks as well. Can you even take a critisism post about something you did without being offended or feeling aggressed ? Can't we say anything about what we think, about our opinion without seeing you jumping to the "stop attacking the developers !!" thing ?

[Azarael]

I can take criticism. What I can't take is having to deal with posts complaining about trivial things that were adjusted to match the Warhammer live servers.

Quite frankly, people should not be opening threads to complain about ANYTHING that has been changed to match live WAR.

Aza, why do you even bother to reply to these threads?

I just feel obligated to.

[Bretin]

holy fck are there rly ppl complaining about that sh1t? my gosh get real, who the **** cares on what mount he rides? 50% speed is 50% speed -.-

btw i'm not surprised that someone like bludfist wasted 45 g for such a BS.

@Azarael: nxt timer better nerf fester, kotbs, chosen, mrd, wl, sl, wp, dok, squig,magus, engi, ib, bg, shaman, am and everything else ppl die to. also make sure to give us as much useless bullshit as possible as long as nobody have to die in PvP anymore.
