    Well, I like the camel, but I do not intend to use that spitting - it's a very immature thing to have implemented this IMO, just made to annoy others - how serious is ZOS then in being against harrasment?


    It's more about harassment and abuse of the dromedary. Try throwing up a few times in a row and then going for a run.

    People call it spit because most people can't even style scientific names correctly. It's vomit. You are forcing an animal to regurgitate on demand, which was apparently not an argument brought up at the development table.

    It was probably more like, look at this YouTube vid and copy it but don't copy it exactly OMG CAMEL$ $OON

    Lmao, no! camals are spitting not throwing up lol

    Someone doesn't read Terry Pratchett:
    “The fact is that camels are far more intelligent than dolphins. They are so much brighter that they soon realised that the most prudent thing any intelligent animal can do, if it would prefer its descendants not to spend a lot of time on a slab with electrodes clamped to their brains or sticking mines on the bottom of ships or being patronized rigid by zoologists, is to make bloody certain humans don't find out about it. So they long ago plumped for a lifestyle that, in return for a certain amount of porterage and being prodded with sticks, allowed them adequate food and grooming and the chance to spit in a human's eye and get away with it.”
    ― Terry Pratchett, Pyramids

    Damn, I found this thread too late to be the one to dig up that passage and post it...

    OK, fine have this one instead:
    "Camels have a very democratic approach to the human race. They hate every member of it, without making any distinction for rank or creed."
    ― Terry Pratchett, Pyramids

    I'm sick of all the camel propaganda! Camels are jerks, and I'm glad that ESO portrays them as such!

    PS. I can't wait to get my camel mount! :D

    It is the jump animation when you are standing still - then it spits.

    Yup. It was the first thing I did on the PTS. I got my camel and got it to spit.

    Yeah, they might want to make it not do that as often...that's like every few seconds. If I had that mount I'd feel an obligation to always be moving while I'm on it and get off of it immediately when I'm done moving to avoid having it repetitively do that.

    The sound and animation could be made to be less comical as well, but if nothing else, at least make it be like once a minute or something.

    EDIT: Oh, I misunderstood it, so it was only doing that so often because of trying to jump while standing still? Fair enough, then, I guess, but it still looks a bit too comical.

    it's an animation that you control. like cats roaring and guars pretending to roar in that cute way. It's a fancy little detail. don't get caught up in storm of political correctness.

    We already have non-spitting camels in Craglorn. Why for the love of Zenithar did they have to make new, spitting ones? :pensive:

    Now I have to watch that movie and enjoy a bit more of his muscles - your fault :smiley:

    hm, camel bulls have foam like this in their mouth, when they are in heat.

    have you ever watched "Conan the barbarian" ? The scene where the camel spits Arnold and he punches the filthy beast? :hushed:
