Equus hunters of the world unite

[Beki]

Obviously during the WoF round involving the Equus a lot of time and energy was spent rounding up sufficient numbers for people to hunt them in any sort of organised manner. This lead to a lot of talk with regard to LA01 (Neconu Valley) which has (the only?)2 Equus DNA on it.

This thread is to try and see if there is actually any interest in these mobs with a view to approaching Gandalf to see if he will put some Max Maturity Horses out amongst the Neconu to make somewhere for any would be "Horse-Whisperers" to whisper with a rifle.

These mobs have been known to drop some reasonable gear in the past, Jaguar Gloves both M+F, Sentinel Thighs (M), FAP 90 & even Thin Wool

Anyway, I think personally that it would be interesting to have a thrash at some Equus Prowler/Stalkers etc, and a nice concentration of them in a LA would give ppl a chance to see if they can supplement their armour collection with some nice Jag or Sentinel bits

I'll add the poll to give some idea of interest (or otherwise) to Gandalf in a few weeks.

these are my favorites to hunt...they are hard to find but when you do come across them it's a lot of fun.

actually have globaled off them a time or two...

I vote a big fat YES!!!!

ohh i love equus but it is very hard to find one!!i want an LA full with equus!

[Einstein]

It has been tried in the past and Equus is one of those mobs that works for a while but not for long, after initial mania people quickly lost interest if I remember correctly

I'd love to see Equus Stalkers again, but at the moment it's a great LA with the Neconu there. What we really need is more Equus DNA so that we can have both options with the horses elsewhere, but it seems MA aren't ready to give us that yet.

Given a choice betweeen the two, I guess I'd go with the Neconu.

[Artrat]

Surely he could max the maturity on one or both of the DNA's. I doubt they would represent a serious distraction to the neconu hunters, and I'd love a place to round up a few stalkers

[safara]

Thing is there are other Neconou LA's out there, as this DNA can be made. Not sure if Equus DNA can be made yet, hence this is the only LA with the potential to have big horsies.

I like the big horsies

Its all good in concept, but what happens if you have multiple team members, and you loot, say, Sentinel thighs, who would collect on them? If you say "the person who's loot window had it" is your rational, then imagine then next loot, if he were to happen to get it again, or another armor piece.
This assumes dmg is equally distributed, how would you define the proper split?

Added the emphasis on the bit that could make both Neconu and "wannabe" Equus hunters happy.

I agree more DNA is the solution, but having nowhere to hunt them in a concentrated and intensive manner surely makes the DNA drop even more unlikely

A question to the landowners of EU who drop by this post. Out of interest, how much Fertiliser would be required to boost to max maturity and high'ish spawn for a months trial for example?
