Mount: Why am i stuck with one single stat point?

[grand kernel]

This video shows that when I am riding my wyverns there's toughness everywhere and no other stats at all.
It‘s been like this for two days and I just wonder it this Intentional mechanism or just a bug cause I can't train my mounts like this.

[indigo wraith]

the unpicked stats go into a pool and respawn

if you don't want to waste energy picking up extra stats, switch to a different mount then pick them up with that

[dull carbon]

Pick them up

[grand kernel]

Thank you for answering I'll try it out

[frail schooner]

use many different mounts and always go for a different skill when levelling
rotate mount every 5-7 pick-ups

[untold cloud]

thats a cool overlay

Powerups appear to be distributed as part of a "pool" in which repeatedly not picking up powerups of the same type will result in you seeing more of (or even exclusively) that power up. This pool persists even if you /class, or switch your mount. This means that you can use a different mount to 'sculpt' the pool of available powerups to help train another mount more targetedly, in order to conserve energy, for example.

I've got the same issue, it's actually crazy. I am assuming this is a bug, I thought I was going insane at first - I've maxed out speed, toughness and training on my wyverns and now they are LITERALLY the only power-ups appearing. I even counted how many I got offered (143 speed, 94 toughness and 88 training) and ONLY got the 3 power ups I didn't need. Not a single energy, acceleration, boost etc.
I assume there's meant to be a system to stop you getting power ups you don't need and through a bug, it does the exact opposite? This wasn't happening a few days ago.

[dull carbon]

There is no bug you have to pick them up or they reappear

[hollow linden]

the system is utter trash and you need to intentionally pick up dogshit to get the stats you want

if you need batteries, don't pick up batteries, if you need any stat, don't pick up that stat

its horrid honestly

the best strat right now is either picking up every single pickup you see and making sure you don't pick up the same one twice in a quick succession of time (this is only when you have to level every single stat and not specific ones)

Or fly in a relatively small (like 150-200 blocks) circle picking up things you don't want and accumulating enough of the stats you do want so that after ur done you have only good stats left

the ocean is the best place to do both

[frail schooner]

with the 150-200 block circle, you mean you also pick those up, right? not just get them to appear

[hollow linden]

no, you don't pick up the good stuff unless u accumulate a satisfying number of it

say you need 6 altitude, you pick up everything but altitude (excluding batteries) until you have like 4+ altitude powerups ready to pick up

[frail schooner]

yea thats what I meant, but why do you need to fly in a circle for this?

[hollow linden]

because if you fly too far from a powerup it despawns

[frail schooner]

right, I see the idea, I have to test this

ty

[hollow linden]

it doesnt need to be a circle, just a generally large area thats not too large so that you can't despawn ur powerups

also you should pick up speed boosts, even if you don't want/need to, because if you don't slowly ur powerup pool will become like 80% speed boosts

[frail schooner]

yeah and its so bad smh

[hollow linden]

not upgrades, sorry; speed boosts

[frail schooner]

but ive heard you can stack the speed by picking up multiple of them in a row

because it boosts your mount speed based on your current max speed

[hollow linden]

yeah this is also good for getting rid of them because they cloud the powerup pool

the more you pick up stuff you don't want, the more you get the stuff you do want

its a really bad system 😭

[indigo wraith]

I mean it's literally just a pooling system

[hollow linden]

yeah but you would think it would be the other way around, the stat that you need the most would be the most prevalent one

[indigo wraith]

It doesn't spawn more of what you don't pick up, it respawns what you don't pick up and if the pool isn't full it adds another pickup every so often

[hollow linden]

or entirely random

[indigo wraith]

Don't get me wrong, it's not good, it's just not intentionally bad either

[hollow linden]

but it punishes you for picking up the stats you do want. Like even if I have every stat maxed but altitude if I pick up altitude on the first time it appears I have less chance of getting altitude on the next power up spawn

this would be less of a problem if it didn't spawn stats you have maxed but for some fucking reason it does that so its extra bad

[frail schooner]

its an even bigger problem for later gen mounts btw

where maximum potential on each stat differs from each other, sometimes a lot

[indigo wraith]

Take another mount for the extra stats you don't want until the system improves

[hollow linden]

rn the solve is either my method or having a "trashbin mount" that you use to filter out pickups both of which are just bad game design

[frail schooner]

atp I just resorted to get my mounts to near max with lvl 10 mats lmao

in first gen mounts, anyway

[hollow linden]

that will take you like 3 months but at least you wont have to deal with leveling or energy

well actually idk what max means for you

[frail schooner]

no its 36 hours per 10 (5 without 2 account) mount to near max first gen

[hollow linden]

if you wanna get to 10k potential it will take 940 million years, but thats probably not what max means to you

[frail schooner]

I expect them to change the system in a way so that it wont take that long

so I only breed gen 1 rn

[hollow linden]

Terminated said that 10k potential taking 940 mil years isn't a problem because people aren't supposed to reach max

so uhhh... I'm not too hopeful that a fix will come

I would understand a year but halfway to the heat death of the universe is a tad bit insane lmao

[frail schooner]

yes but the way I look at Terminated is.. no offense... a force to overpower his opinions by the collection opinion of the CT and maybe Salted

[hollow linden]

usually terminated and salted agree

[frail schooner]

yea... ugh

[hollow linden]

and usually if salted wants something and is supported by a redname it aint gonna change in a million years, the sprint bar being a good example

[frail schooner]

it is insane to think NOT being able to reach max, even if it takes years, is a good idea

[hollow linden]

years is an understatement by the time you would reach max, wynncraft, you, your kids, their kids, their kids, their kids and like repeat that 300 times wouldn't exist

940 million years is also the number it takes for 10k potential where as 80k is the actual max, and that takes

[frail schooner]

I do expect them to change this system btw

there is no way in cow that this system stays like this
