Greetings,
So, as you may or may not know Taru announced the 4000:00 basing reward would in fact be a mount. However, it was not specified how many, I would recommend anything between 10-15 mounts. Also there will of course be limitations to the design elements of these "mounts" and I would like to know what these will be (such as sizing, design) My gang, Anarchy is currently 300 hours from achieving this immense goal. One thing that is becoming a popular trend, and when I led the "old Anarchy" I did the same- is that gangs are stopping at 1500:00 not only because mounts are basically unusable in Ol West as they provide no benefit but only inconvenience (this can of course, be fixed) but in comparison to the mount, the gang hat reward provides much more motivation. I believe that a way to stop this trend of gangs retiring "early" is to possibly give 5 more hats (using the original 1500:00 hat template) at either 3000:00 or 4000:00 as a bit of a more worthy reward. Not only would this create motivation which would drive gangs further than just the first reward, but it would mean that gang leaders can give those members that may of missed out on the hat, or joined later on- a second chance to simply get this hat. Not to be narcissistic; but 4000:00 is quite some time and it requires lots of effort, and this milestone is not without drama. This is why I think that at 4000:00 the gang leader can give "?"mounts and 5 of the original 1500:00 hats.
Lastly, to improve mount effectiveness I would like to see the following implemented:
Mounts Can Be Hot-keyed
Mounts are at least 50% faster than the walking speed
Mounts are easily maneuverable
Mounts remove freeze from guns
Generally, I would like to see mounts to be as useful as the classic mounts.
