Quoted for truth. Did the op think they were gonna drop a full set of raiding gear? It's a pre-order, you get dinky little useless crap that comes with it. It's useless flare that is supposed to be for fun.

You've played Rift for too long

To those who don't know what this means:

In Rift you got a mount when you pre-ordered. It was an ugly two headed tartagon, but some people loved it. It gives you 60% speed bonus, while faster mounts give you 110%.

What is OP trying to say with this scaling thing is, in Rift when you buy a faster mount all your mounts get that faster speed. It's all about looks without getting hindered for doing so. Much like orange gear, where you can get the stats without losing the outfit.

@OP: You've learned the oldest trick in the book. Milk the cash with useless digital pieces, they cost next to nothing to make and yield beautiful cash.

I doubt he's even played rift at all. The scaling speed came out on wow before Rift was even released.

I upgraded to DDE and with the items matching the description I was given prior to making the purchase there is nothing I could be upset about.

many of the previous mmorpgs i played have mount speed tied to the level of riding skill instead of making mounts to set speeds to allow people to use whatever mount they like the best and not feel hindered for it.

a really advanced concept i know. one of many awesome ideas that didnt make it in this game and now some people are feeling let down by it. i guess this game really wasnt made to compete with current mmo's but ones 6 years in the past.

i'm for player choice.

No, hes right. The entire digital deluxe and the two other things you get from collector's edition were totally a rip off.


What reading comprehension?, it didn't state that the holodancer would only work for twenty seconds while the flair gun looked absolutely cheap and pathetic and that the mount would not scale with speed. It being an exclusive mount it should have scaled with the other speeds, at least till 110%.


Get your facts straight before insulting others as if they are dumb and don't understand. Most of the people that got the digital deluxe or collector's edition were totally disappointed with the exclusives and everyone that I have talked to feels the same way as the OP.

You can buy an upgrade kit for the Pre order mount on the Fleet to make it faster.

I bought the Crystalis Edition of Final Fantasy 13-2 because the items you get are actually worth 3 times of the price, and the personal value of those items are very high. Collector's Editions of MMOs are useless, the extra content is far from being worth the price in the end, unless they have some sort of figurine that has a nostalgic or historic meaning for you, and looking at the items included should have told you that from the start.

Should have researched more, as the thing you mention came as no surprise. Then again I have more pressing matters in game then some fluff items and how long they last.
