I think people are forgetting that the crowd we see everywhere, they are ALL Vestiges too. We are all the hero so yes, we will see a mount that should be 'for the hero only!' everywhere.
Right... But from the players perspective they are the ONLY Vestige... everyone else is just another adventurer. With a fire-horse mount... everyone has it. No perspective... everyone has it.
It's about the 'illusion' they seem to have been cultivating.
That's where these games keep screwing up. Age of Conan, TESO, even SWtOR to an extent. The whole "You are the Chosen One!" storyline only works if you're the ONLY HERO in that storyline.
LotRO and TSW had the right idea, where noone is a hero, just a bunch of common folk who come together for a cause; doing heroic things but only to help THE heroes.Edited by Zorvan on March 17, 2015 4:04AMI've been muted since November 2017 because of the whiny crybabies on this forum and the liberal ZOS employees coddling them.3 -

You know, some asian mmos (TERA does I believe, or maybe it was AION, don't know ) have an interface feature where you can turn off all other players, as if they don't exist. They're still there questing, hanging around in the city, and whatnot, you just don't see them.
I'll give ZOS $20 for that feature being unlockable from the cash shop. Instant singleplayer TES goodness and the only "hero" I'll ever have to see is me.
Can you have just your group show?
Pretty sure groups show by default in that setup, yes. Been a while since I've payed any of those mmos.
Man... that would be awesome.... I'd pay for that function!What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.
That's right... Horse.

I'd agree with this. Hopefully in the expanded story (if that ever even happens) this is the route ESO takes.What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.

Peyrite, Daedric Prince of Oblivion's Corporate Ladder. Seriously his sphere is the 'ordering of the lowest ranks of Oblivion" and his nickname is the Taskmaster. He's also associated with plagues. He looks like that out of spite to Akatosh.
Technically there might be one or two dragons alive back then, but dragons aren't born via eggs like traditional dragon lore. They're children of Akatosh. Nahfahlaar (Naafaaliargus) would still be alive during the Interegnum, but dragons don't do taxi duty. More than likely we'd see a daedric creation of some kind.
And if ppl are throwing a fit about this horse, is everyone so quick to forget about Arvak the spirit steed from Dawnguard? Flaming skeletal ghost horse? *** yeah!

And honestly, that doesn't deviate much from "classic" Elder Scrolls. I mean, usually you may be "the hero" but you're basically the "Nameless Forgotten One" because while your deeds may "go down in history" no one will ever actually remember you in particular, and sometimes your deeds are generally forgotten in favor of a more prominent figure (thank you Martin Septim). It works well for the single-player games, and would work even better for an MMO. Even in this MMO you're the "Undead Soulless One" (regardless of your vampire status), so I don't see why they can't take it a step further.

All the ones that I played it was not possible to have group show.
Interestingly, other players could still be targetted via tab rotation -- some PvP players with low-end computers toggled the feature on then fought blind because the feature was effective at reducing slowdown and fps issues.

Well done! I know it's a little off topic, but in my opinion you've just touched on the very essence of what distinguishes a 'good' RPer from a 'bad' one: Their willingness & ability to adapt to situations out of their control.theweakminded wrote: »Complaints like this are proof of people that played console TES games. Mod communities have done stuff like this for years. As much as I love the lore and immersion of my TES games, who cares? Some guy wants a flashy mount, how does that hurt you? Someone wants to ride a mudcrab with a top-hat, be my guest, I do not have to and it might even be worth a laugh to see. Immersion breaking is a matter or personal opinion. I RP and I can see past all sorts of things that are 'immersion breaking' and not go crying to the forums. If it is breaking your immersion, it is probably your fault for letting it. RP players are already subject to pretending certain things are different than they appear in the game, why would a mount be any different?
As for the horse; I don't like it personally (I'm very happy with my Yokudan Charger from the Crown Store), but I can understand some players might. So each to their own.If you can be anything, be kind.0 -

✭✭✭It reminds me of LOTRO Steed of Night!
What makes me laugh though is LOTRO is quite an old game now and has a zillion more mounts than ESO with all of them being within lore and some of them are very well designed with a lot of detail. They even have emotes for the mounts.

LOTRO came out in 2007....I think ESO needs to step up its game yo...

I thought it was a joke too, I really.. really hope it is x.x
I mean even Shadowmere, isn't there only one Shadowmere? Just immortal, passing through the time periods, changing owners.
Not to mention you had to finish you know what to even get her.Edited by Islyn on March 17, 2015 8:39AM0 -
