Another player review: New Bladewind Dragon Mount

909TheFeared

again, found this on the DO site. the dragon sounds f'ing intense

First and foremost, I have to say that this is the coolest mount that I’ve ever gotten in a game. Some people may look at it and say, ”What’s so special? It’s only a dragon.” No, it’s not only a dragon; this dragon is humungous and seats 2 people! Multi-person mounts are amazing luxuries that are twice as sweet when you don’t have to buy them. I was playing Lucky Bingo in the game and with my amazing luck I just so happened to score myself a new Dragon mount! The movement speed on it was incredible; it made my everyday questing breeze by since I could move around at extremely rapid rates. It was also cool to be able to have a friend hop on and travel with me so we could knock out some quests in an even more efficient manner.

All of the other mounts in Dragon Oath have been pretty cool and very unique, but this Dragon mount takes the cake. Even though flying mounts have been showcased in the past, none of them have been as large and menacing as the Dragon mount. When you see the mount coming towards you it looks like a boss character is about to take you out! After riding around on this thing for awhile, I really can’t see myself ever going back to one of my other mounts, this guy is the end all for me (unless they release some more colors!). I’m guessing that the drop rate on this is pretty low because the overall utility is a big game-changer. I can already see tons of people trying to stake their claim on this mount for a nice prestigious status boost, but I hope they’re ready to work for it, because they surely won’t be as lucky as I was. Maybe some variety in the Dragon mounts would be a good thing, now that I think about it. Maybe switching the colors up on all of the mounts would add a little bit more flair, but since I don’t truly know how rare he Dragon mount is, I can’t comment on whether people would get sick of seeing the standard palette.

Hopefully in the future, we’ll see more hulking mounts like this one. I remember seeing pics of a mount that consisted of two giants carrying you on their backs. That memory will forever be stuck in my head because I have NEVER seen anything like that before in all of my years of gaming. That being said, Dragon Oath has managed to keep things fresh and original with their mount variations. I usually get pretty bored with the generic choices of “horse or wolf” that plague other games. It just seems like a lot of other games lack imagination as far as mounts are concerned and I really don’t understand why. There are so many animals in the animal kingdom! Just choose some big ones! LOL! Overall, I’m happy with my Dragon mount and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. It’s a great addition to the game and I hope to see many more like it in the future.
