The devs said no to mounts but didn’t completely rule them out in the long run. If they do go that route it would be nice for a mount system to be more sophisticated than in other games. I think adding horses into the wild as creatures first would be really good, have them spawn randomly around the world and make them very rare, and give them random models/skins.
And then have an actual taming process where you have to approach the horse and go through some kind of mechanic or mini game. It’d be neat if the look of the horse you tame is what you get once you own it. Having some kind of more in depth mechanics for having to maintain the horse at stables placed in the settlements would be really cool. Maybe feeding them regularly, doing tasks to take care of them and boost their stats over time would be good - horse levels and horse experience that improve speed/health etc
If it’s just a spell you pop and a horse appears out of thin air, that’d be such a wasted opportunity to do something cool. Summoning the horse in a Red Dead Redemption 2 style would also be a really good way to go.
So remove instantaneous long distance teleporting and add mounts which would actually make traveling that distance take long. Yes sure. That makes sense.
I dont think there has to be a anything to skip the world as Porting/fly pattern from town to town! It would be realistic if u need a lot of time if u wanna travel to shattered mountain startin in first light. But i dont wanna discus the azothporting here. Thats a whole other topic!
Clearely they had to change something about the body blocking if they introduce mounts!
Sounds awesome aswell! I really like the aspect of maintaining your Mount so you can’t collect hundreds of them. And maybe pay tax if u bring them to a settlement?
I’m just helping to see the truth. On the one hand, instant teleports throughout the map, on the other hand, move at the speed of a crowded bag. Only by realizing the two extremes can one see the truth.
If they ever implement mounts, I’d love to see it as a profession, like a “Handler”, where you need to go and tame them, and when tamed they get a GS, and some mount specific attributes or/and perks, and then being able to sell them on the trading post as well.
And as someone mentioned in a post above, perhaps being able to craft additional mount stuff, different saddles, “shoes”. and perhaps lots more (I’ve not much clue about what you can use for horse riding, but hope you understand what I mean)
Ok, also an interesting opinion. Have t been thinking about selling them on the TP but if its a profession you should be able to sell your stuff and make money out of it!
Nice Ideas so far, thanks for everyone that committed constructive ideas on this Topic!!!
i don’t care about your mind
map not so big for mounts… need less then 5 min to run all Town territory… with mount u say: “this world small and suck”…
good luck !
The game doesnt really need mounts imo but if they ever do add them, horses dont make much sense since there are zero horses on the island. There are plenty of elk though, would be cool to go catch and train an elk to ride if they ever do make mounts a thing.
„Just my opinion“
