Neverwinter is due for a mount overhaul, and as it turns out, PWE is game to give it one. “Mounts in Neverwinter are very much the same as they have been for years,” the studio admitted in a blog post yesterday. “While that is a good thing in many areas, there have been some aspects of mounts that you, our community, have been asking to see improved. As having a blog post implies, we have made some changes that will soon be coming to a server near you and we wanted to share all the details.”
In a nutshell, PWE is planning to “simplify” mount speed down to just to speeds – the existing legendary mount speed, and the slowmo mounts aimed at roleplaying and parades. It’s also adding mythic-quality mounts, upgraded with tokens bought in the store and acquired through some events (like Hell Pit). And finally, stable mounts gain a new collar slot, allowing players a chance for further stat customization.
As a final perk, PWE says it’s lowering mount costs in the cash shop – by more than half when it comes to epics – and handing out one free pack of mount goodies for everyone (so definitely hit up the reclaim agent for your tokens and stones and coupons). Check out the whole blog on the official site for the full run-down.
