You do understand about the Riding Skill, don't you?
I suspect not, otherwise you'd see that's where the horses' stats now are, your 47k investment still gets you what it did pre-1.6, you have a BONUS now that all your characters have access to the same skins, though they will have to level their own Riding Skills.

(yes, it sucks)
This is not true and I hope no one blows a ton of gold after reading it to try to save 10 days.
It only counts the points you've spent not the extra your horse may have come with. For example, on live I have an imperial horse with 17 stamina. Imperial horses have a base 10 stamina and I spent 7 points leveling stamina, which makes 17. On the PTS, my horse stamina is 7.
Thanks for posting this. This made me realize my extra 10 in stamina DID transfer over. What's not transferring over is the base that the horses normally come with. All horses have a minimum base of 10 stamina. Buying the gaited horse gets a bonus of 10 additional stamina. The bonus plus number of upgrades it what becomes the riding skill. On Live, I had a gaited horse (10 base plus 10 bonus) and 17 upgrades for a total of 37. On PTS, I have 27. The fact that the imperials are also showing a loss of 10 means the bonuses are transferring the base stats are not. I checked the same with speed. I only have a imperial horse so it has a base speed of 15%. My riding skill on PTS was 15 less than the horse's speed on Live. There shouldn't be any difference between cargo capacity numbers between Live and PTS because the base cargo is 0.

None of my toons have a BONUS. All of my toons have exactly the capacity they fed their horses to. My main fed a horse to 50 capacity and that is what he has. My alt fed a horse to 25 capacity and that is what he has.
NO BONUS
How dare you address me so condescendingly and be wrong at the same time. a quick log onto the pts by yourself would have easily revealed there was NO BONUS
I stand by original post. I have spent 30,000 and all I have is a skin. I do not feel having that skin on all my toons is a fair value for 30k.

The bonus he was referring to wasn't the stats. It is the fact that now all your toons can ride the mounts, regardless of the skin colours, for the same investment. If you have the black horse on one character another character can ride it without having to pay 47k.
Also, 30k is NOTHING, chump change really. Gold is really easy to make even when not trying to (which is me, I don't play markets and I hoard all my valuables rather than sell them because i might need them and I am sitting at 275k. I bought all the horses, all the bag and bank slots before I hit v5 and I know there are people who can afford them much earlier than that!)
let's call the gold spent in levelling a horse converted to riding skill a draw. Since those stats will be converted on a per character basis.
Now as for spending on the actual horses. Well, horses now become a global item over an account. So if you bought one 42.7K horse pre 1.6 you will have it available to all toons post patcj. If you bought 12 42.7K horses on multiple toons pre 1.6, 11 are wasted so kiss 469.7K good bye.
I understand MMOs change, and things get deprecated and that's fine for the good of the game in the long run, but that's a lot of scratch to toss aside. If I knew this was coming they would have EASILY been 1g horses. I'd rather spend that on something else and while change is change, being considerate and thinking of how to compensate loss to players in some reasonable form would seem to be not in the realm of the outrageous.

How are the 11 horses being thrown away? If you bought 12 42K horses, those same characters have access to the same horses and the stats they provided plus the max stats of any other horses the account has. Everyone wins.

For example; If my NB has max speed on one mount and max Stam on another, can my new DK character pick the straps and armor for his new mount, but with base stats?

I think he's complaining about a sort of opportunity cost due to the circumstances of the change. He could have very well bought less horses previously and gotten the same result, thus saving money. Because he didn't, he feels like he'd wasted money.
It's a silly thing to argue about. While I understand where they're coming from, I can't take these kinds of complaints seriously.
People who bought more than what would be ideal post-change did so because it was ideal pre-change. They paid for the advantage, and that advantage was had. They got exactly what they paid for. But now they complain because they feel like they wasted money, since they could have done with less without losing out on anything post-change, completely ignoring the fact that they already reaped the benefits of their steep expenditures.
People are not losing a single thing post-change. The only difference post-change will be that it is possible that someone else who was more conservative with their gold expenditures on horses could be at the same place, with the same advantages as them, with less overall gold costs.
It's rather like going out to eat, buying a ton of food, eating it, and then complaining after you eat it because you bought more than you needed, saying that the restaurant should reimburse them for their having ordered too much because others got the same amounts of useful sustenance by ordering less than them.
People have every right to be upset by the change, but they don't deserve any sort of compensation for it. I reiterate, they got exactly what they paid for when they paid for it.

That 30k investment to increase capacity you still fully get. You didn't lose that investment. It's still there for the hero you made the investment on. The bonus he speaks of is that you unlocked that skin on top of the increased capacity for that hero. Now every new hero you create has access to that skin.

You paid 47K for a skin and +10 to a particular stat. I bought every horse in the game myself and max the light and draft horses but didn't max the stamina horse in stamina but used speed instead. On the PTS my stats are 60/20/60 so I bought another horse to max stam before the conversion.
You knew when you bought the horse what you were getting...a skin and a +10 bonus the stat of your choice. You aren't losing that, and now you're also able to use the maximum stats of all of your horses at the same time on *every* character you have. *That* is the bonus.HeroOfEvbof wrote: »You do understand about the Riding Skill, don't you?

You may have bought all of the bag slots but there is no way you hit it before V5 without doing some serious market work. My next bank slot is 75K. That means I spent over 450K for 210 slots, and getting to the max 220 would cost me another 240K.
