I have a Squig Mount!

[bwdaWAR]

It means that a lot of people (meaning several dozen different names) talked about it ingame, in various channels, and this is the first time I've seen anyone complain about the whole thing, let alone with such a toxic and entitled attitude. On the other hand, the majority of those who did post approved of it, or were just enjoying the new mounts hopping around on their new squigs in front of the AH in Altdorf and the like. Don't believe me? Log in and look around. Unless of course your only goal here is to complain and troll.

Judging from ingame chatter, most people like it. As for the rest, they can take the day off. One day without RoR won't kill anyone.

wow.. anecdotal evidence.. haha.. sorry but ""most" is one of those words that is even easier to throw around than made up stats. (99% of stats are made up except for the 108% of stats which aren't).

although i am prepared to be convinced otherwise I am fairly sure "most" of the people who are still online are not actively posting in chat.

Simply put if "most"of the 500 hundred people online were posting in chat then;

1) you couldn't read fast enough to keep up with it, let alone collate opinions to support usage of the word most. generally a very small proportion of people actively chat in advice etc otherwise it would move to fast to keep up with. and,

2) by definition if someone is online and actively playing then they, by definition, either like the mounts as a novelty or they are indifferent and prepared to put up with them for a limited time. People who do not like them will have logged and therefore anecdotal evidence as to the overall reaction cannot be gained from in game chat.

Your suggestion as to "most" people liking them being evidenced by a very small sample posting in chat is similar to stating that "most" people love donald trump as evidenced by the people that attended his last rally.

anyway, the fact i have time to type all that shows two things. Firstly that i am one of the people that took the day off.. and secondly that my eso is patching slower than the other three guys i know who have also logged from RoR to play eso whilst we sit out the seasickness..

and yes i know 4 doesnt sound as big a number as "most" but it does have the advantage of not being a fabrication or a figment of my imagination used simply to support my own viewpoint without any real substantiation.

anyway. i am glad you are enjoying your mount, so much that you are taking a break from playing to post on the forums lol

OH HOW I LOVE THIS COMMENT...
Ya brought tears to my eyes Bang... TEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I logged for the day ... couldn't take the seasickness. So count me in with those who were not amused!

OHHH
And it is ok to not like the squigs. It doesn't mean anything bad towards those that thought this would be a good idea.... or those that do not appreciate how some of us spend time, gold, and effort to look AWESOMELY FANTASTIC IN GAME. Just because you have no self pride in how you appear in game, does not mean that others do not care either.
Let's face it, a WH on a squig looks silly, and no self respecting WH would allow anyone to see them riding a squig!

[Noergl]

There is always, and i mean always someone who complains about something...
Really guys? You cant take an April Fools joke for what it is and complain and whine about not being amused? You lost the feeling for "gaming" and having fun somewhere on the way. Its not that you are forced to ride these beasts for months, they probably will disappear in a day or a week and you can get back to look "awesome".

And i really would like to take this thread as an opportunity to say "thx devs, great idea, i like it a lot". If i could, i would love that squig as a mount for my Squigherder, and the idea the whole woodelf orientated "waywatchers" guild could mount the unicorns would be really really great...hm... im living in a great beer brewing and wine making area, which of you devs could i bribe to make that happen

[StormX2]

they should have released T4 today, but make absolutely everything in the zone completely useless.

THAT would have been funny ;p

[Tiggo]

cheese to the whine is a CLASSIC

[magter3001]

And this is why we can't have nice things...

[Ghostweed]

Unicorn? A freaking unicorn for gobo? What comes next? Flower pugets instead of swords?

Not gona play for tonight as im not 7yr old girl. I hope u revert this change tomorrow. This was a really bad idea.

[StormX2]

way more people are butt hurt about this than I could ever have imagined.

I have not seen the changes yet so I cant wait to go home and blow off all my fresponsibilities and jump into the game lol

Question, who should i play today, order or Destro
