Taming ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Why is it that if you fail at taming you lose the mark? you should get to keep it since you DIDNT TAME THE CREATURE. the losing of the mark, especially when dealing with heroic level creatures is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

people would quit the game if you didnt lose the mark. i know i would. lose the point of the game and make the game less rewarding than working your butt off getting the mark plus you can buy a good bit of marks now for cheap if their heroic and you get lucky with the market. and i dont play as much as i too and yes waiting for spawns are annoying but when you play check and keep a timer on them so you know, makes life easier.

This system is the best, especially when the lvl cap was still 35 and you wanted to tame terror kerav. You have to get 10 items from a daily, so you would think you get the mount every 10 days. But no, that would be too easy lets just make a player who spent 10 days farming fail averything they worked for. So in conclusion you need 100 days if you are unlucky to get one mount and as a physical dmg class you had to get 3 of that mount for every armor piece. Yes i think thats fun and they should do that for every future mount again. And something else they should get more creative and not copy all the mounts and just reskin them.

if you would quit the game because you dont lose the mark then you really shouldnt be gaming.

You dont even get the point of this talk! Hes trying to say if the game was that easy no one would keep playing it. Without working and wasting time you cant expect too much

As i stated further up : Some of us prefer a good challenge instead of getting everything shoved our greedy rectums on a silver-spoon.

There are so manny other ways to get those marks now. To stay with your example : For Kerav I have 10 chillwall-runes in my inventory and i didnt craft or buy a single one of those. Then there is Ilenos lair where i caught my own Kerav.

There is a world buff because of the event " Heroic familiar respawn time is decreased by %50 in all zones before akrat" plus you can earn tons of heroic mark easily by fishing ! And they are way cheaper than they used to.

The idea of the mark, or items needed to tame, is to coax the mount into letting you attempt. Think of it as a distraction, you give it to them and in return you get to try. Seriously, though, this game would suck and never last at all if you always tamed the mounts. It keeps giving something to build towards and try again. Idk what mount you're failing but it can't be as bad as the 10+ fails my alliance has had with Aidus, and his mark takes a Rodesh to create. None of them cried over the all red fails they're just working hard at making more marks.

Most heroic marks can be fished up now, all but the new area. I'm trashing so many on a daily basis. Perhaps be more thrifty rather then crying about it?

Well, that would be only half as fun and we cant have that or can we now ?
*sneaks away in search of a mop to clean up the sticky icky sarcasm he just spread all around*

Seriously though... some people just cant be happy without their daily dose of whining it seems

Oh so you cant read, well I'll explain to you: What I said was only for the time when the lvl cap was still 35 and not 60. I know that you can get those marks way easier now but back then you could maybe get 3 or 4 for free. Thats good and fine but as I said you needed way more keravs than 3 or 4 and the chances of even getting one kerav out of the marks you get for free was very low on lvl 35.

So what ? The levelcap aint 35 anymore last time i checked. And as for 'needing' Kerav-Seals, i call ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on that too. On my Berzerker I never slotted seals of that caliber and i still performed rather well in dungeons or while soloquesting. I agree, it does help alot but it is by no means neccesary. More of a bonus in my opinion.

i never said anything about always taming. stop saying that i said "you always tame the creature on the first try" i did not. i have no idea where that idiotic notion came up but i never mentioned it. what i said was its stupid to lose the damn thing. why not give it a cooldown instead?
tostos Jul 19, 2017 @ 3:35pm 
Not losing the damn thing is stupid because there wont be a any reason to play it

clearly you havent suffered the loss of a mark that takes forever to make if you are a solo player. the point im trying to make is, you didnt manage to tame the creature, you shouldnt lose the mark whos point IS TO TAME. it should only be lost upon taming.

as to levels im well over the level of the creature i was trying to tame.

well..
did you lose Graveon? Torkai? Shakiba?
Those you can cry for failing, but... maybe you didn't get enought buffs?

Just make the taming system challenging and not rng based. Im always for challenging games but not rng based ones.
