they somewhat recently did a balancing patch in kr that also included trying to normalize most mounts (making most mounts cover about the same or at least closer to the same amount of distance) to keep it so players would use the one they liked visually the most instead of being forced to use one that just is much faster.
was only a matter of time for the changes to come to our version, tho i do agree it should be included in patchnotes if we did get those changes.
I already know that it will be nerfed. Some kr streamer told us that it will be nerfed. How come you guys is not informed about this ?
I didn’t expect the nerf will come this soon though
You are right, its not important.
In KR they were equalizing mounts. The top ones were brought down and the worst ones were brought up. This is probably a product of those changes.
I was wondering why I felt slower traveling mounted… this is it. I’d be more alright with the nerf it they didn’t try to ninja stealth it… makes you wonder what other changes there are… Oh they removed Ealyn and Sasha affection rapport! And didn’t bother mentioning that either.
Thanks for flagging this – will raise with the team and see if I can track down more information on this.
Let this be a lessen to you all.
“someone said it in a kr stream” “how didnt you know?” … okay. no offense btw, just found that funny 
When they transferred a lot of the balance changes from KR, they might have also moved over the mount balances too. So pull out all those other mounts, maybe they got buffs.
Did Chamkuri always have 5 sec CD? I think it had 10 ~, now it’s 5.
Lol i dont care what they did in other versions. If you buy something because it has a specific feature and they normalize it to match what you already have thats pretty much a scam.
I find this kinda ridiculous.
Should only ever bring others/freebies up, never the ones people paid for down. It’d be akin to paying for a car bc it runs smooth and is gas efficient and then the dealership mandates you to bring it in bc the car runs too good and it’s making the other cars look bad so they need yours to run worse instead of everyone else’s running better.
Suddenly you don’t want the PoS bc it doesn’t have the features you paid for.
Don’t remember. Seems all the “hold to boost” mounts have a 5 second cooldown but don’t know what they were before. Raptor, Athetine hoverboard, and chamkuri
a ton of others did get buffed, some quite a lot (most of the ones that had a sprint boost got their cd nearly halved).
dunno if the car analogy really applies here as someone that likes driving their beatle doen’t get to work any slower than someone driving a sports car since they have to deal with the same bs traffic.
these mounts are meant to be cosmetic, this change was meant to make people not feel pressured to buy something they don’t want just 'cus it functions better.
sometimes these forums are confusing, they add in something people perceive as p2w and people complain. they remove something p2w people complain. they can’t win.
Some guy on the other side of the world playing a different version of this game said something about this on a website that has nothing to do with this game.
Wow how could we miss such a thing
I mean the real point of it is at the end of the day they wanna make money, but if they change and nerf features people paid for already it’s setting a precedent for players to not buy anything for any features bc they can always get retconned away.
Making free mounts better makes it less p2w without putting paid players at the expense. Making paid mounts worse to meet the free ones halfway makes it less P2W but at the expense of paid players. Better to not fuck with paid content and make free content better
gezz this game design and the devs…a whole other story
Cool. Stop buying skins for p2w reasons.
Ahh yes moving faster is p2w, nice work there
It’s not? Then why are people complaining about the fact that they got to get around faster than everyone else? This nerf bringing the mount in line with every other mount shouldn’t be an issue if that’s not the case, right?
“It’s not pay to win! It just lets you get around quicker which means getting more done than someone who doesn’t have it!”
