New "Mount" Ideas (x2)

KaironBlackbard · August 26

"Werewolf" mount - possibly usable only as a werewolf. Transform into a werewolf, features of mounted status only, not actually werewolf transform or effects.

"Mist" mount - possibly only usable as a Vampire, particularly a stage 4. Turn into mist. Still retain a player hitbox and while highlighted by a player they see the white highlight on the player hitbox. Features like a mount. Mount stamina, dismount stun, etc. Like a perpetual mist form that can be dismount stunned and uses mount speed and stamina and cannot fight without dismounting. Because mount features. NOT invisible. Possibly hard to see, but healthbar is plainly visible, if the player has it active, and hitbox/highlight is retained.

Mist form, but as a mount
Mount speed, mount stamina
can be targeted, health bar and highlight still show
Body might be roughly invisible because is mist, but hitbox, health, and highlight still show, effectively Not invisible.
NPCs treat you as Not invisible, as if mounted on a horse
It's just cosmetic
mounting and dismounting animations may be different, but same timers, and you still get stunned if dismounted by combat
Detection same as mounted, because it is mount status. People can tell it's mount and not mist form because it's perpetual, not 1s-1/2s duration dash. That and you're fast as a mount.
Any ability casts or combat attempts that would dismount you, dismount you and end the cosmetic effect.

These are based off the curses, but are functionally the same as a basic mount, just visually the curse.

I still want an infernium mount; and some type of hover bubble travel would be nice too. There are tons of visual cosmetics they could make for both.

i'm completely okay with this ! please give it to me !

Nissowolf · August 27

i just thought of something, maybe instead of a mist form as mount, you can transform in a bats swarm, to avoid confusion !

Why mist? we can already turn into mist, have them turn into a swarm of bats instead.

Here are some mount ideas for Zos to consider:

1. A stickhorse that actually is usable (i.e., you can travel at normal mount speeds while using it).

2. Just as we have superheavy class mounts, we should have micro mounts for the sake of the lols. Scamps, Soul Shriven, and similar mounts should be summonable from Oblivion, and we should be able to climb on their shoulders, and their tiny legs should carry us as fast as normal mounts. Extra points if their legs become a blurry whirlwind.

3. Mammoths.

4. A dual-rider camel with TWO humps.

5. A donkey.

As a ww main I would prefer to be able to move in form at the same speed as mounts when not in combat especially in cyro when running in a group with non ww.

obviously when in combat normal movement speed would apply.

KaironBlackbard · August 27

And, as a bonus, Werewolf players get to use this Werewolf Mount to be able to gain mount speed and stamina effects without having to de-transform. Likewise, take too much damage while "mounted" and you get stunned. Activate combat skills and lose mounted status, slowing to normal speed and losing mount stamina.
Etc.

First off I love the idea of curse based mounts and those definitely should be implemented.

As for other idea. We should get wamasu and enchatere mounts. The fact that these two don't already exist feels like an oversight to me.

I didn't notice. I thought there was an echettere in the store at one point. I thought my dad got a Wamasu mount somehow.

I would like class mounts.
DK - A venomous horse that leaves green hoofprints.

Sorc - A storm Atronach that carries them on their shoulders.

Templar - A divine Indrik with a holy aura

NB - A red panther that seems to absorb the foliage as it walks.

You get the idea.

KaironBlackbard · August 29

That would be cool

A lot like the worgen racial mount in WOW.
Now it was an bug in some beta with this so the worgen model ran carrying the human avatar under the arm 😸

My idea is a palanquin. Different styles of stretcher furniture, different carrier races, from ordinary to ghosts or daedra.
