1st - There is no info anywhere regarding the upcoming Senche-mounts apart from the confirmation in Twitch chat this last friday.

2nd - compare these previews to the one we've got for the Striped Senche mount and the ones in Crown Store on PTS at the moment. They look edited, and quite poorly as well. Look at the saddle on the "Senche-Lioness", is it really shaded properly? What about the size of the saddle on the "Panther", will we be able to have child characters? Cause no one will fit into that.

3rd - Look at the text? Would they really release previews with fonts w/o shading, stroke, shadow, bevel etc etc?

4th - This is actually just highlightning #2: Where has the person found these images!? References please. Be a little critical.

5th - Nightmare Courser? Really?

If I'm wrong about this, I'll gladly admit it once we have proof. But for the time being - I highly doubt these pictures are real. That there will be Senche-mounts to buy in the Crown Store is however 100% true.

EDIT: typo

I'm fairly certain the dude datamined the pictures from the PTS, much like how others datamined Wrothgars map too earlier today.

The images are not offically released, they were just picked out by smart people from the files. I highly doubt that the dude could've photoshopped the striped-senche into all those variants.

I very highly doubt ZOS will put pictures of upcoming mounts displayed in a marketing posture in some file location encrypted or not in the PTS. That would make zero sense as they serve no purpose there.

Datamined means simply, to intercept file transfer through email, social media, phone SIM mimic relay program in the kernel, or other means.

MMO's have quite often thrown finished content into the game, but hidden from the ordinary player as it is not supposed to be "unlocked" just yet. It is quite a normal practice actually.

As for its purpose, I would say it holds a rather clear purpose? Ensuring it's ready for release and take-off. We know that they can update the store ingame within a moments notice without requiring a complete restart, as shown by the stresstest on the PTS a little two weeks ago.

Dont forget unlimited sprinting with the imperial mount. It was a bug that turned into a feature because they could not figure out how to fix it.

Why with the Imperial? Every horse has infinite sprinting.

Not all of them. The mount I got off the store (forget the name I think palimino) doesnt.

Interesting. The ones you can buy in the game do.

You know Ive never purchased one off the vendor in game for gold lol. I always had the imperial on one acct and the palimino on the other. I just assumed it was something with the imperial mount.

Those look like images used in the crown store. Just check the other purchaseables on the PTS.

Datamined does not necessarily mean data has been intercepted. The typical meaning is someone digged through data included somewhere (in this case the PTS client).

ANOTHER VERSION of THIS MOUNT will be available in the crown store, just a different color

how is the "original" mount in any form a reward then for the people that have been "with us since the beginning" ... i can just NOT PAY more time to my sub and just wait for another version which will BE CHEAPER than what i have or would have had to pay for with subs ....

gg ?

I guess you don't have to pay crowns for it.. and it's different looking?

It would have been cooler to offer the Nightmare horse or Leapord as a loyalty reward because they are so unique looking.

However, the Senche Tiger for the loyalty reward doesn't look that different from some of the other options so won't stand out.

This exclusive senche for the loyal members has an armor!

The other senches (look my post above) just have a saddle and bridle.

They already said (in the same stream the image is from) that the armor pictured on the exclusive senche is because it is upgraded like other mounts, it doesn't come like that.

jamesharv2005ub17_ESO · February 2015

I think people are forgetting those mounts are not on the store. Just because someone data mined a patch doesnt mean every single piece of art work and asset they find will be put into the game. We know senche mounts of some kind will be in the store eventually. We dont know when or for how much.

Exactly, we've been officially given word that those reskins are coming to the store, it doesn't mater when, because they simply are being added.

No the only official word is some kind of senche mount will be in the store. All the rest is conjecture. There is no proof except people saying it (spreading rumors) it is the same exact mount only reskinned we get for a loyalty reward.

CaptainObvious · February 2015

That just means they should've gone for the Mannimarco piggyback mount instead of the senche. Mannimarco Piggyback mount just has more air of exclusivity.

Imperial Edition Nibenay mudcrab? Reskinned into rufous mudcrab. Plush pony guar? Reskinned into striated pony guar. Whiterun wolfhound? Reskinned into Windhelm wolfhound.

What do you think other senche are going to be, honestly. Smaller cats? Cats with longer tails? Does it even matter? A cat mount is a cat mount.

Could be smaller yes from the hints they dropped. Again you are just ASSuming. Also we get it free where others will have to pay for it. We get it long before its available in the store. I mean what else do you want? The tiger mounts will be a money maker did you really think they wouldnt sell some form of it on the store?

I don't want anything.

I'm totally fine with this reward, I didn't even expect to get it until Gary's clarification (I'll be about two weeks short on March 16th), so I'm glad I qualify at all. And I knew they'd sell reskins the moment I saw the Road Ahead. I'm arguing because it's more fun than studying for my exams (even this forum, poor as it may be, is better than reading coursebooks all day long

)

What hints did they drop about it being smaller? I haven't seen anything.

Tintinabula · February 2015

Again you have no idea if its just a reskinned mount. They mentioned in the chat that this particular senche tiger would be different. Then they talked about size of elephants etc. Nothing but hints nothing official.

None of them will be the size of elephants, that was just Jessica referencing earlier lore telling us what the striped senche isn't. I seriously doubt they'll be anything but reskins, but you're right, we have no proof as of yet.
