It's really easy to criticize any subject that's put on the spotlight, granted lohk has placed valid points, I agree the tone is in the disfavor of discussion. It comes off as 'just stop talking about this'. There's no harm in speculation and talking about what we hope to see in the game. I understand the pessimism, being a player from launch and seeing some of the downfalls first hand. However, I'm still very open to discussion from either side of the point as long as it's not explicitly dismissive and has something to add rather than trying to shut down the conversation. That's a hard one for me. If you look at it from a veteran player only, yeah I don't go back for my own characters. However, I've been in story instances so many times for new players I either help out or invited into the game. (Currently trying to recruit my brother and his friends, they're waiting for the steam release!) So unless I'm the only one doing that, it would be towards latest content yeah. It did get me thinking about what a new player content would look like if they did add Tengu into EoD. All the veterans joining in with their new player friends to check it out and see. What ways could they optimize the levelling experience and have it intertwine with existing stuff. Along with the hefty task of introducing all the mechanics of the game in an orderly manner that isn't too overwhelming. I'd honestly make several new characters just to see that (even if tengu isn't added) I have low expectations for them actually adding tengu as well, but I like to think that means I'd be over the moon if they actually announce it.

I would make several Tengu characters haha! I've been wanting the race ever since launch. I have several characters that were originally name saves for tengu that I ended up falling in love with. They're such a cool race and I really hope we get to see a lot more of them lorewise in EoD!! It would motivate me to open up my wallet for those fancy gem wings I see people getting, and mount skins to suit the new looks. They managed to pull off limited mounts extraordinarily well, and I believe they'd be able to implement Tengu as a playable race despite the uphill challenge it would be. (and I really hope they do my tengu savings need to be spent please I need my army of bird characters)

I made this topic about a year ago on Reddit, (before Warclaw and Skyscale were announced) but now that we have a confirmed expansion coming up, I wanted to know what you all would think if they went with an approach similar to this in regards to mounts in EoD? Basically the mounts would have the same function as their counterparts, except the weight/ animation would feel different. I drew some examples: So instead of the Springer hopping, it could be a Giant Moa lifting us off by flapping it's little wings! It's silly, but I hope it gets the idea across haha The devs have shown they can be capable of this when it comes to the special skins, like the Humming Bird where the idle animations really make it feel like a whole new mount. I see this as a possible direction they can head towards since there's only so many functions they can keep creating for new mounts. I honestly loved collecting the mounts in PoF and would love more opportunities! Is this something you'd like to see come from the expansion?
