Mounts & Housing

Post » Sun Mar 16, 2014 6:59 pm

I will say I have enjoyed the better and I am looking forward to the launch of this game. I tried both Wildstar and ESO and found I enjoyed this game more. The only thing I am wondering is the future of mounts in the game. Will mounts expand beyond horses? Will we one day see maybe flying mounts like Pegasus? One thing I have loved in other MMOs and spent a lot of time doing is collecting pets and also mounts. I am hoping that ESO will eventually introduce a large variety of mounts and pets:), but am happy with what I have seen in the game so far and look forward to playing it.

Finally I know housing won't be in the game at launch - but I do hope they plan to introduce it and make it is has a high amount of customisation.

Sorry if this has been posted before I couldn't find a search function.

ESO is going for a more 'realistic', down-to-earth vibe compared to the inane, anime-style, hyper-sixual idiocy of other MMOs. There's not going to be pegasus mounts, chainmail bikinis, and other such things. Which is why I'm actually going to play it. I would imagine they will add more mounts that adhere to lore, but *flying* mounts may or may not be beyond the ability of the system.

I'm looking forward to housing with high amount of customization, like you. It's second in importance only behind my character itself.

Rideable Guar please!

Also...

I hope they eventually treat mounts like actual entities and they don't auto-dismiss whenever you get off them. What is the point of being able to name them if they can't hang out without you on their backs?

Love your ideas. I'm leaning toward mount customisation more then different types, like maybe have blacksmiths be able to craft armor for your horse :)

I still think - without going to the chain mail bikini style - that they can still introduce a variety of mount styles with customization., but I think that customization of armor sets for your horse would be a 1st step. I think they will defiantly offer different styles of mounts because people spend heaps of time collecting them along with other items like pets, armor and weapon styles.

Chances on flying mounts? Zero. Lore wise I can think of only two flying ones. Dragons and Dwemer sky ships. Dragons are not available in this time period. Sky-ships would actually be neat, but I cant see them allowing it. (Flying house would be cool)

I personally would rather see horse customization before we see other mounts in game. If the lore supports other mounts, then I'm OK, I just have no desire to see all the crazy flying idiotic mounts that you see in other games. I like the "realism" you get with ESO.

I'd like to see lots of horse barding that could be crafted by players. Leather and cloth barding as well as armor. You could also do a system of horse breeding at the horse traders so that you could switch the color of your horse...maybe us imperials don't want a white horse...

I'm also looking forward to housing, but I really only want housing that could prove useful...perhaps an extension of the trading system with house hirelings and such.
