The Tindrel!

[Brugist]

Is absolutely amazing. I got mine last night and just wanted to give a bravo to the development team who worked on it, it's absolutely beautiful. I like to pumping mechanism on the back that I couldn't see in all the pictures before.

I only have one questions about this one though,... are all the guardians that have this going to be shunned by the vigil and cast out of Sanctum? Doesn't it represent everything that the guardians are against?

I'm not usually one for lore and back story, but a guardian riding a mechanical spider is pretty blatantly ignoring everything they whole faction stands for.

I like both mounts, how ever i do have a huge problem with the sound from the spider mount. And this problem is so huge for me that i either have to play the game with sounds off, or leave RIFT. I played for a year and i could never in my wildest dream imagine that the sound of a mount would force me to consider leaving the game.

I am not kidding, nor do i exaggerate my problem. I live with Tinitus and the thudding noice that the spider makes it just blows my head away for every thudd it makes. And this is just the first pile of people having them, next phase when anyone can get it and there will be no were for me to move to avoid them, and then i don't see how i can continue to play in the open world, and i can only stay on raids. Mostly i can turn the sound off and i do that a lot and already long before the spider mounts, but at some points in game the sound is important and i have to have it on.

If i missed something were i can turn off only the sounds of the mounts, then please fill me in on this and i will be ever so grateful. If not, please remake the sound, or give me a option were i can choose the volume of the mounts so i can continue to play.

I never use sound so I haven't noticed it.

I, personally, think of it as a badge of conquest over the inferior defiants.

I'm all up in your carnivals, stealing your mounts!

Of course you're exaggerating your problem.
Yes, the new spider mount is noisy, it reminds me of the "other game's" Mechanostrider mount, which was also noisy... but just don't get it if it bothers you this much.

The mount novelty will wear off and you won't see so many people running around with it just like all the previous 'new' mounts.

Maybe there will be an addon soon for "Mute Annoying Rift Sounds" much like the "other game",

I'm glad I'm not the only one driven nuts by mounts. The regular spindrel mount literally makes me crazy. I'll be at the bank or the auction house and all I hear is the lip smacking sounds the spider makes constantly and have to turn my volume off. It is so irritating.

The week 3 quest reset early before the week 4 quest kicked in, due to daylight savings. Whoops!

Ok. I guess I'll have to wait for one more week then... X-)

The spider is very cool. I was planning on getting the horse, but now I've seen them both, I'm going to get the spider first.

[Akyaevin]

I likewise find the tindrel noise very aggravating.

[Zazzy]

Extremely annoying. I know not everyone is going to like everything but none of the audio controls - except master volume - will shut that noise off.

Heres what the spider looks and sounds like

If Trion developed an option to "Turn of Motorized mount Sound" then everyone would be happy.
This sound is very annoying to me especially at the AH.
I'm tired of turning down the sound card.
I want to hear the ambiance in Sanctum, and I'm sure many others feel the same. I know people worked hard to get these, and thats great. They have every right if there happy with it and the sound. Personally I can't stand the sound its annoying, disruptive, and alot of other players feel the same. For people who do like the sound then thats ok with them too. I want a "Turn off Motorized Mount sound button"

Get them both! The mounts then selves are bound to your account and the pyrite dubloon are soul bound. So get one on your alt are send it over!
