Just want to say thanks for the Senche mount, but one thing....

Just wanted to say thanks for the mount, it looks great and it feels great to be recognised for support of the game

But...the one thing that really puts me off is this

11032075_775541749204265_251341954_o.jpg?oh=f92e3b8f679d1b3cfdaf1ca85907667b&oe=550DFFD1&__gda__=1426977868_f2e32035f585479323bd930bd6f0a30e

No offence but who thought this would look good, I really do not like this animation. Am I the only one?


That animation aside, the mount is great and I love having it as a recognition of my playtime :)

    well, tiger is a bit small, so it does look a bit awkward.

    I thought it seemed a bit odd at first, but I think it's quite realistic looking for how one would ride such an animal.

    ROLF.. inferred speed.. riding high in the stirrups means you go faster.

    Where is the end game? You just played it.
    Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
    Where is new content? Sigh.

    What's wrong with it? We ride horses like that in gallop, I've never ridden a cat, but it looks reasonable enough, for a video game anyway. Any tiger experts know where their gravity center lies when running?

    No expert, but a tiger's running gait and anatomy, nevermind it's disposition preclude riding in real life. (Captain Obvious, I know)

    So however they decide to do it works. Kinda looks like a rule 6 violation but that fact that its a tiger makes up for it.

    Edit: so there are a lot of definitions of rule 6...

    Pretty much this. I can't speak from experience, but judging by how the tiger looks, I think sitting down on it while it was in a full gallop would probably be a bad idea.

    "And it's important to state that our decision to go with subscriptions is not a referendum on online game revenue models. F2P, B2P, etc. are valid, proven business models - but subscription is the one that fits ESO the best, given our commitment to freedom of gameplay, quality and long-term content delivery. Plus, players will appreciate not having to worry about being "monetized" in the middle of playing the game, which is definitely a problem that is cropping up more and more in online gaming these days. The fact that the word "monetized" exists points to the heart of the issue for us: We don't want the player to worry about which parts of the game to pay for - with our system, they get it all."

    Yep, I agree. I'm glad they found a way to make this work without taking the easy way out and making the tigers excessively large.


    Please stop making requests for game features. ZOS have enough bad ideas as it is!

    Was thinking the same thing. My max height Altmer might look pretty silly riding it, like a basketball player riding a 50cc.

    My little Bosmer will be fine.

    One thing I noticed was that even when I dismount my tiger, when I move around my character does the motions like she is on the tiger still, only cropped into the ground a bit. If I unsheath my weapons, it goes back to normal, but when I sheath them, I go back to this crazy mounting the ground.

    I see your point OP, looks uncomfy to look at from behind and the side. Maybe make the Cat bigger and get his butt on the saddle.

    Yah the tiger models are a bit small. Should be about 20% bigger and it would look proper.

    It could be a little bigger. My own little elven wenches fit quite well on the senche, but my boyfriend's Nord looks like he's trying to mount a housecat. xD

    The animations of the senche itself are really great though! When you do a slower walk with him, he looks really majestic.
