And suddenly, we have proof. Thanks for testing, Spythe.

I have tested (with addon this time) again and again and again xD and i confirm the news mounts are faster than others mounts but only in full speed :mellow: The deluxe hoverboard has the same speed as the others (slower than news mounts). Eldan hoverboard (deluxe edition) (average normal speed : 18 / average full speed : 24,50) Snarefelynx mount* (average normal speed : 18 / average full speed : 27.20) GlitterKitty Cruiser* (average normal speed : 18 / average full speed : 27.20) Hellion Hoverboard (2100 pvp rating) (average normal speed : 18 / average full speed : 24.50) Orbitron Mount (average normal speed : 18 / average full speed : 24.50) Velocirex Mount (average normal speed : 18 / average full speed : 24.50) Alien velocirex Mount (average normal speed : 18 / average full speed : 24.50) Spike Hoverboard (average normal speed : 18 / average full speed : 24.50) Retroblade Mount (average normal speed : 18 / average full speed : 24.50) Flux Hoverboard (average normal speed : 18 / average full speed : 24.50) Red* = news mounts All were tested with 80 plats bonus speed. You can test your mount speed with this addon : http://www.curse.com/ws-addons/wildstar/228657-speed (Toggle the display with /speed.)

What next? A $35 pickaxe that brings sub-level 45 miners back into parity with relic hunters and survivalists?

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Molten_Alliance_Mining_Pick Not $35, but you get the idea.

Equitable, or equippable? The first is definitely true, the latter is absolutely frustrating - ESPECIALLY considering the Deluxe Edition Hoverboard exists.

However none of those items at all have game mechanics altered that they are tied to. The Rest in Piecemaker doesn't make your warrior attack faster, the top hat doesn't give additional armor,  Wrecking Crew doesn't make you immune to server crashes. This item breaks the level restriction policy AND also outperforms standard mounts and needs to be put in line with others.

You know what else we've been doing for almost a year? Getting new content quarterly when we were told our subscription fee would pay for new monthly content. Subscribers have been loyal through the ups and downs of the game and the company. The last thing Carbine should be doing now is expecting subscribers to shell out additional money for Mystery Boxes.

Gonna chime in with the same question; should these mounts be following the rules of other mounts as far as level restriction? Is it intended they are as good as Luminous Equivar/Datascape mounts?

Tex, I hate to say it but you're 100%, absolutely wrong. The renaissance-themed park is a "faire." Come on, dude.

I think I am tired of hearing these people cry. Most of your players who went out and bought boxes to support the game did so with the understanding that these mounts had enhanced speed. Waiting until many of us have already purchased boxes and acquired these items and then nerfing them seems like a poor decision to me. I also do not believe that "calculations on speed were a little wonky and had variance." How were these mounts magically different from any other mounts in that way? It's difficult to make a mount that has default mount speed? I doubt that. The statement sounds rather vague, in a dishonest corporate kind of way. I think their speed was intended, and if that's not the case then maybe you should say something very specific about it. It's been weeks since this promo started. Also I do not think blimpcats on the Arkship are going to ruin anyone's experience of WildStar. Really.

I think you guys should pick a consistent rule and stick with it.

Actually you'll be way past Thayd. 24 hrs of /played time is enough to get through a significant part of the game.

Snarf is legendary too, actually. Wouldn't be a huge shocker if it had the same speed as the only other legendary mount in the game. http://www.jabbithole.com/items/snarfelynx-mount-71877

Good to know, actually. (Admittedly I couldn't spell "Snarfelynx" so I couldn't find it.)
