Would you like your horses to be shared through the stables on all your characters?

Skewki

Horses can be expensive and time consuming to lvl. Would you like to share your horses (similarily to the shared bank function) through the stable function on your other characters?

Cogo

no

This is NOT WoW!

And the economy, account sharing guilds and each character has their own "status", has been explained.

ItsMeToo

yes

That would be nice.

Blackwidow

yes

I think of it as having both horses with you. This was done all the time in the old west.

A cowboy would ride a fast horse and have another horse with gear tied to it to follow behind him.

I also think we should get wagons to haul stuff.

Cogo

no

Yo shorty. This is not my view. Its Zenimax statements about what your characters will and will not share.

You are good at moderating the real bug feedback we have. Work on those instead of asking for a free horse ;-)

SystemiK

I'm not going to answer this because no matter what I happen think about horses being shared, ZOS is not interested in I think about horses and will ultimately do what ever it wishes in spite of my opinions. Have fun with your poll though...did you know that only 13% of polls have up to a 7% chance of making a difference?

Soloeus

no

I am glad for the work that does get done, and this just isn't needed. Sorry.

I don't want "every luxury feature"

i'm more curious about opinions than anything else, i'm quite aware of the lack of a "difference" any forum post makes, not just polls

SoupDragon

no

Just no.

Sallakat

Now that you brought this up, it's strange that it isn't shared. Just like a bank is shared too so why not the stables??

KariTR

no

No. I want my future characters to experience the joy of affording their first horse, just as my first character did.

If you want a horse for all characters, then buy the DLC that allows you to do so.

gorant1313ub17_ESO

yes

Absolutely yes since there's a STABLE. I have two VR12's with level 50 horses now so I'm voting yes for the rest of you.

fromtesonlineb16_ESO

yes

LMAO, people find the most pathetic places to post stupid WOW bashes. /sigh

And what the hell have guilds got to do with what the OP posted? Oh right, it doesn't, you thought you'd toss that pile of garbage in at the same time.

Many games have account-wide features, mounts included, and given the price of a mount relative to the gold you have at 50(1) just from questing then they're an expensice luxury for many especially those who play alts rather than abusing VP exploits in Craglorn.

daneyulebub17_ESO

no

So, every character--level 1 up, gets all the horses your high levels has acquired.

No. The game is easy-fied enough. Just because something would be "Nice" doesn't mean it's a good game mechanic.

Vunter

yes

A competitive horse costs 42 k and you have to wait 50 days for reaching his level cap.
And I don't like waiting mechanics

Why not? We have shared bank, why not stables?

Edit: typo

Syntse

yes

Even though I have Imperial and I can get basic horse or several to all my chars for 1 gc and I don't mind the feeding either. My answer is yes it would be nice to share the horse especially if I want the better horse for all my chars it would be something like 170k.

Not only I would like to see shared stables (won't happen as zeni wants to keep time and gold sink - not justified imho)

I would even welcome feature which will be enabled when one of your character reach top vet level.

If you create alt you would be given option to make him top vet in an instant.
I know many will bash me for saying this, but I seriously see no joy to level up new character in exactly the same areas and doing exactly the same quests. Especialy when I wanted to try new class in PvP. I would even pay for such boost if it was in cash shop:-D

But as I said condition is to have one charactered leveled up properly.

Tannakaobi

no

If horses did not level then sure. But they do so no!

To add to this, think about the implications. If ESO ever has level bracketed PVP, already a new player is at a disadvantage.

Also, did I not read something about horse racing being added?

zgrssd

no

This sounds like the wrong solution to a real problem.
The problem is that the 42k horses are very expensive. And that the 17k horses is way too expensive for what it gives you.

I was lucky I got the imperial edition. But even I see overall horse prices as too high.

Sengra

yes

Yes, yes, yes.

The problem isn't just the long wait to reach top level on a horse, the problem is having to decide which horse to get in the first place.

What if I like to do PVE and PvP and also want to ride a black horse for RP? If horses could be shared I would definitely buy more than one horse, just because they look different.

I can only go to Cyrodiil with one character at a time ... why then (if I use all character slots) do I need to buy 8 fast horses in order to do this?

We would still have to buy and level the horses, but it feels incredibly frustrating to buy several horses and have them all look exactly the same.

I know you dev guys have other things on your mind like mechanics and bug fixes, but cosmetics do matter to some of us. If not, then let us at least change the textures from time to time (maybe for a small gold fee). Or let us create our own customizable horses by choosing fur/tail colour and the like.

So you're in favor of instant leveling? Instant craft mastering? Do you want a button that just maxes every stat you have? All that waiting must drive you crazy!

eliisra

yes

Yes. It's a pain with alts or if you re-roll. Especially frustrating in PvP with a slow mount (more so now when Rapid Maneuver is bugged).

Even worse if you want stamina or package horse for cosmetic reasons. Getting those up to decent speed takes months, than all over again on your alt. It's very demoralising.

I guess sharing stable might be a little bit to luxurious, even if I love the idea. But mounts could at least be account bound. Let's say you could take them out of the stable and bank them to your alt. Switch between characters and use them on whatever char you're currently playing the most.

Gwarok

yes

YES!!! I also want to get rid of the @ "Name" bull****; each of my characters I have created should be considered individuals and treated as such.

AlexDougherty

no

Mounts should be individual to the character, what they should have done is make them cheaper.

Gelden

yes

I got to share one bank so a shared stable would be a nice compensation for not being able to roll an alt until I spend hundreds of thousands of gold on bank space.

NewBlacksmurf

yes

I think you're own to something here.

The No comments seem to further suggest a character by character customization for the abilities of each horse but I don't think ANYONE is on board for spending another couple thousand per character in addition to leveling the horse.

WyndStryke

no

Yes and no. Yes, it would make the game easier and cheaper in gold, but also No - my characters are entirely independent and don't know each other ... therefore from an RP or in-game-realism viewpoint it makes no sense.

Overall ... No. In any case, gold isn't really a limiting factor once you've got past the low levels. I've currently got 6 horses on 5 active chars, and I'm levelling all of them simultaneously.

Night_Watch

no

So! I voted 'NO'.

Put simply and as @WyndStryke before me posted; 'my characters are entirely independent and don't know each other'.

Then again, @Gelden has a good point; 'I got to share one bank'.

It does seem a little 'off' to me that players have a character shared bank but no shared mounts.

Either our alts should all be indipendant or they should not be.

Personally, as much as I favour shared banking, I believe our alts should all be seperate individuals with seperate mounts, seperate banks seperate 'everthing'.

What could or should be seperate? This small list may be a reasonable start;

• Mounts
• Bank
• Skills
• Affiliations
• Houses

Feel free to add or subtract form this. And, remember! Each to their own.

catpower

yes

This is an awesome idea!

Lalai

yes

The game seems rather geared towards players sharing things with each other when it comes to acquired goods. Horses are currently the exception to that rule. Players currently share mail, all bank space, and guilds. I think it'd also fall in line that a stable would also be shared given those things that currently are.

If you want to buy different horses for your characters for RP reasons, they could increase stable space (but keep the costs lower) so you could still buy horses for each character if that's what you wanted to do.
