New Mount Upgrade: Barding

How about a 4th upgrade to mounts in the form of Mount Barding or Armor, that would give the rider a bonus amount of health or damage shield per point. It would be a modest amount per point, about 100 per point up to 6000 max.

1. In the form of Health it would add onto your current health upon mounting up, this bonus Health can be healed by others while mounted, but will not recover on its own. You lose the bonus health when you are dismounted, any damage taken is applied to the bonus health first before your actual health. You'll regain the bonus health when you mount up again.

2. In the form of damage shield, you gain it upon mounting up. The damage shield can recover 10% of its total every 5 seconds you are not taking damage or in combat. You lose the remaining absorption shield when dismounted and will gain a new damage shield again when you mount up again.

3. A combination of both, where you gain 50 health and 50 shield per point, up to a maximum of 3000 health and 3000 shield when fully upgraded. The same rules apply to their respective type.

    I am voting no for the sake of PvP. Mounts are great for getting places fast, but we don't need to encourage people to mount up for any other reason.

    Give us actual mount armor just to be stylish instead ;)

    Mount armor?... :/


    A. they can't fight.

    B. You get thrown off when hit.


    ... Exactly what would be the point of "mount armor"?

    How about a complete rework of the mount system instead?

    With far more options, dyeable saddle and whatever, different types and styles of gear, etc.

    Maybe even adding a "mounted Combat" skill line that allows attacks from horseback, though I kinda fear true mounted combat might be more effort to code then they would want to invest here...

    I vote yes for both. You would still get knocked down from your mount if its stamina pool is too low, so this would be not op at any point. Still, would give you some protection against initial blow, and that is ok with me.

    I'm voting no just because this adds another thing to level because it's needed but then forgotten and doesn't add any choice.

    Static bonus systems which are ground up over days (either by payments or quests each day) and then just sit there as passives don't really excite me within the game.

    I would much prefer this to be something in a line like CP so there is some choice in how you invest in it.

    Hm...someone just ganked you in Cyrodiil, didn't they, OP?;)
    Edit: On side note, I hate ganking with passion and have never done it myself. It seems a part of the game that many people enjoy though, even some of my friends, even though I'll never understand it.
    Personally, I think it should be harder to one-shot people from stealth - if they were not prepared you should get an advantage of first hit and surprise, but not quite one-shot people so easily maybe. Still, slapping moar health on a horse seems a cheesy way to do it. Ganking actually seemed about right to me without cp.

    RIP PvP Nightblades

    You can't fight while mounted, so it's absolutely useless in PvE. As for PvP, you only need a horse to get to your location ASAP, not to fight. This feature is ONLY usefull to survive gankers. It's only usefull against the only thing Nightblades are good for: Ganking.
