This may have been brought up already. I apologise if it has.
I think it would be nice if you could pay maybe 100k and then be able to buy a horse. This horse even goes inot town with you. Not only does it look nice, you move faster on it. You should also be able to pick your choice of horse. They should not be able to fight or affect your fighting.
What do people think of this idea?

Why do you think they implimented the auto warp feauture?
This isn't WoW.

But Im definately against horses. If you want to 'look nice' then there are plenty of other things that could be done to make you look cool and cost money.
More armors, and more customizable armors...as it is now, you can only dye a portion of your armor. Maybe they could make it so you can dye your armor multiple colors. As in your armor will have multiple dye spots, this would allow for super customization.
And yes, the horse thing has been brought up alot. Use search, type in horse.
RTSFirebat
?Use search function and type "Mounts" or "Horse"
This topic has been discussed so many times its silly, each time its proven to be pointless and no needed in this game.
Not going to post the reasons since they've been said before

A Rex or one of those flying ones (dunno what they're called) would be cool. A rex would be like riding a hydra.

There won't ever, ever, not in a million years, be a riding animal in this game. If teleporting at a click of a button isn't good enough for people, they can go try Warcraft and then try to get around on 10 minute flight paths and horses / stuff that take even longer. @_@

Plz enough of the This isnt WoW comments.
Mounts would make the game unbalenced.
Rushing would be so much easier. Imagine just galloping though an area instead of stratigically taking out the mob.

Make it so that you don't move any faster on a mount =P

Adding horses could add a new class (Cavalry?), or just skills to the Warrior.
If they only move faster using a "horse sprint" skill, they won't get through missions faster.
Add a whole new set of mounted weapons/weapon skills, they'd do less damage if not mounted. Add a whole new set of pole weapons/skills (spears, halbards, etc.) that would do added damage vs. horses or especially mounted horses.
Add new armor sets for horses, because...
"mounted" skills wouldn't work while on foot, and your opponents can target your mount first and deal with you later.
I think it would add quite a bit to figuring out tactics, especially if they had a bigger "footprint" or turning radius.
There are a lot other skills/counter-skills that would flesh out the Class.
They wouldn't show up in town any more then the ranger pets do, that just adds bandwidth to no purpose.
It would take a lot of testing to balance it, but I think it's doable.
Could you take a deep breath and succinctly tell me why you are so against them?
Thanks,
Taphoo

I'd like to see horses. Even give them a special attack only available on mounts. Such as the massive knock down.
Anyone like to ride a dolyak? They don't move any faster, but if I can make them use those massive knockdown that's all I need.

Ranger's Get pets, mounts would not be able to make you move faster because monster's don't chase things moving 10% faster than normal, this would make running players through the game, no longer based on skill.
How would you maintain some realism, with someone riding a horse and getting knocked over by a sand wurm? have the horse run away? 100k down the drain, buy your Fissure or UW armor, mess with some dye mixing and have your Ale.

it would be a nice gold sink, it may make an unfair advantage to the poor people like me though. but its cool. u really dont need it, but anyhting that is a gold sink should stay and be in the game...

When I equip the running build on my ranger, he would move faster than any horse ever could...

Yay, for someone who knows the word "kindness!!" /salute
but, horses would be a cool addition, but dont make 'em to expensive, but at the same time, dont make 'em too cheap. make them possible for the non-farmers to get, but not too easy for the brand new people! Maybe later in the game you could get a giant-eagle (like in lord of the rings, love those books) but make enemies in the sky too!

Horses? That might be the worst idea ever. Devs say, "Hey, want to waste our time? Cause we got this idea to charge people 100k to ride a useless horse around." Other devs say, "Uhhh.. You know we are." *fingers start flying on keyboard*

happy to and i will be brief as my hands hurt a bit
game balance
a horse (mount) would either provide a speed bonus or a knockdown bonus (running into something could knock them down) or a positional (higher vantage point) bonus
all the above would make a mockery of trying to get a group which works together which is hard enough alreadt
they would cripple balance
if not for any bonus it would be to be seen or show it off
notice how all the rangers pets vanish any time you go to town?
to save bandwidth on the servers by not having to have an extra *person* for each ranger (primary/secondary) when in town where you could be seen
so if it is for exploring or a mission it is out for balance and if it is cosmetic it is out for economics to prevent lag in towns
serious question deserves a serious question
also to be honest if anybody does a search on mounts and horses it seems it is like *whack a mount*

which goes in the second catagory of being for show only.if it made no difference to the servers they would allow rangers pets to walk along with them to add a little something to the atmosphere
they remove pets to help prevent as much lag as possible in the towns and mounts will stay out as well
besides the towns are too small for a bunch of mounts anyway as it would be like being in cruse night on sunset strip in the 60`s
Night
Besides who is gonna clean up after them? Trust me it would take a while to scoop all the poop up in addition to not having any desire to sidestep the bombs those sucker will surely drop.

That is a great idea! Horseback combat! That should be in the game.
Guild Master
They should be given to characters at level 15.

What about Monkey combat? Can I get NO Monkey love here?

What are you talking about? We are talking about horses in the game. Horse riding and horseback combat is a great idea and should be in the game. You don't like that idea? Post on my forum for what you want in the game.
