    Actually a great CE pack, lots of great stuff.

    But that turtle mount… hooo boy… a turtle? Really?:(

      I should also say here as well, this is getting so typical for this game… this was a chance for them to really underline the difference in flavours between the factions, yet they give both sides a geenric turtle mount as a CE item so we can look even MORE the same.

      Why not give the guards a divinity imbued warhorse and the defiants a magictech cyborg raptor, or something… you get the idea.

      This middle of the road generic bland samness between the two sides visual flavours is getting worrying.

        I really do like the turtle, but I wouldn’t say no to a magictech cyborg raptor either!

        These mounts seem to be limited as well, by endgame they probably won’t be anything more than appearance (if you choose it).

          hehe yeah, I figured some people would like the turtles, they are just personally not my tatse :)

          the real problem is that both sides get the same though… arnt they enough the same already? Trion could have taken this chance and given us distanct mounts based on faction to underline differences, not emphasise sameness :/

  • Seriously?

    I’m boggled. Did you guys even PLAY the game? The sides couldn’t be more different in terms of how they are achieving what they want. In one scenario you are a time traveling super-soldier….and the other you are some crazy religious cultist. Go back to flying over the AH in WoW and let this game go kick ass.
