CourtneyWoods Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Determined efforts by zoologists on Hoth have led to the domestication of the tauntaun, an indigenous species of reptomammal that is well-adapted to the harsh, icy conditions on the planet. Until recently, the animals have proven too ill-tempered to serve as reliable mounts, with even the most docile tauntauns bucking their harnesses and throwing their riders regularly.

Basreia Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Great! I am glad Tauntauns have made their way into the game. Have been waiting for animal mounts for the longest time. Perhaps this is what is more to come? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarletBlaze Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) And thank you for allowing the subscribers a special tauntaun mount which also costs less. Maybe this will stop the complaining that subscribers don't get anything special. (Well I can dream can' t I? lol) Edited August 6, 2013 by ScarletBlaze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear bioware has some of the worst fans I am still not over how people acted to the Mass Effect 3 ending and then still wanted a whole new game even after the extended cut.

Larsan Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Awesome, I will get one, but can you use a light saber to cut the tauntaun open and hide inside to gain health like in the old star wars movie? that be cool lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grayhl Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Great! I am glad Tauntauns have made their way into the game. Have been waiting for animal mounts for the longest time. Perhaps this is what is more to come? This reflects my feelings as well!!! I hope this is a wonderful start to more animal mounts, there is collection of feline and reptilian animals across the SWTOR universe in game already that would be awesome mounts.

Fergz Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I'm happy that taun tauns are available but they way they did this sucks horribly. 20 pieces of fruit no drops and too much pvp Booooo Hiss Bioware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SithInitiate Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 what fanboys seem to overlook is people dont "complain" because we hate bioware. we just want good content.. and this patch is exactly what most of us are calling for. its amazing.. when bioware puts out "content" we dont want.. they get called out.. but when they actually release content up to the standard we KNOW they can produce.. they get praised. funny how that works.

Devrius Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I'm happy that taun tauns are available but they way they did this sucks horribly. 20 pieces of fruit no drops and too much pvp Booooo Hiss Bioware I agree, there are so few nests that they are camped by both factions and since the reset for the fawns is so long you'll run into an enemy faction group that will kill you if you wait. So you have 2 choices, stay and hope no other faction group kills you while you wait for the re-spawn or travel to another nest hoping that it's not camped by enemies. It wouldn't be so bad if the success on luring was more along the lines of 50% and not 10%... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cripplers Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 6 camps. 3 fauns. 18 attempts. Phase change. 18 more Phase change 18 more.... If you're sitting at the same camp waiting you're doing it wrong and should not be complaining it takes to long. We had had as many as 5 instances of Hoth yesterday on Pot5 and that was early in prime time. Even during the day we had at least 3. Was able to farm both Tauntauns in a few hours.

KrullT Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Stop the damn complain, you can get the tauntaun mount the easy way(2 mil creds) or the heavy way. If you pick the heavy way you will spend at max 60-50k creds it you are unlucky. What is wrong with you people, you want a cool thing (cool things should be expensive) and expect that bw give that thing to you free and not doing nothing.
