Dwarven spider - stupidest looking mount in the game

    This thing is so hilarious! You should try riding it with an Argonian...
    If it has a place in the game or not is another question, but to be honest: It's not worse than the glow panther, the spriggan mounts or the glow skins like Dro'Mathra and Amber Plasm...
    I bought it because it was a completely new animated and created thing. Means, it's more than a reskin of mounts that are actually in the game.
    I also laughed a lot while hopping over rocks and stuff with rapid maneuver activated. That alone was worth it. :D

    EDIT: I'm a sucker for immersion, and this thing really has no place at all in an immersive playthrough, but since this is an mmo and already spoiled by glowthings and stupid looking characters, I don't really mind anymore. The spider is clearly not made for immersion, but absolutely takes the cake. Also because it takes lots of courage to release such a thing. :D

    Needs to be bigger. Big characters like nords and orcs look weird on them.

    Those mounts should look too small for Nords and Orcs, considering that they were built both by and for the Dwarves. ;)

    The Dwemer were not small, contrary to ignorant belief. They were actually quite an average height. According to legend, it was the giants who first called them "Dwarves", which was clearly a relative term. The Dwarven Spectres of Morrowind were actually about the same height as the Dunmer. "Dwemer" translates to Deep-Elves, referring to their lives underground. So no, the Dwemer were not short (as implied by calling the taller races into question), but of average (or even above average) height.

    It is a shared world. When you buy a mount and ride around on it, everyone around you gets to see it in the game.

    Exactly. It is a shared world, and just like the real world, you're going to have to see things you don't like that other people do. You get to decide what you look like and what you do, and so does everyone else. No one is special.

    I don't understand the sense of entitlement some people have about what they see other people doing.

    I'm not saying you're defending them, necessarily, but your attempt to explain them really only highlights why their bitching is self absorbed and ridiculous.

    The mount itself looks kinda cute but players look stupid af riding in it.

    No more stupid than on that large green mount with the flies floating around it like a turd.

    Yeah, in the real world, I absolutely hate when people clank through the streets on their giant robo-spiders. We are definitely able to compare the real world to ESO, hence the magic, elves, and Betmer. Obviously no differences.

    this mount is perfect match to my character

    It's a shame that light doesn't stay on for long, spider squadrons are already a thing and I'd love to see a string of them lit up like that racing across the countryside at night.

    I feel they missed an opportunity to create a battle mount. Let it strike enemies with its claws and shock em while you doing spells or whatever.

    They could've started this battlemount thing with the senches, make a three second stun from kitty breath attacks and a bleed from the kitty slap.

    I want this now. But maybe make the kitty breath a fear effect.

    My immersion went out the door months ago. Goofy mounts like these spiders are not my cup of tea, but I'd rather see a ton of these contraptions than the atro or wild hunt mounts... or fire/ice/zombie horses.

    Trust this one. After enough fish Kitty Breath really is a fear effect yes.

    Also it may occasionally stun.

    Truth.

    Some nights we don't want the front end pointed at us in bed because the food was fish. Nasty.

    I really like this mount and with a reasonable price too. I'm happy to see they haven't just reskinned another bear or a lion but made a completely new thing which also includes uniqe animation for mounting and dismounting. It's well worth it imo.

    It all went downhill with the Dro'mathra Senche. That was the opening of Pandora's Box. There will be more trashy stuff that people find cool because it's so hilarious in the future. Already looking forward to giant Silk Strider and Fire Atronach mounts.

    The spider is the flavour of this month yes. The next month the flavour it will be different.

    After all who has seen a Dro'Mathra Senche recently?

    Khajiit suspects the flavour will still be Dwemer in some way, probably those things from the crates.

    Khajiit wishes we were talking about ice cream instead. Khajiit would be interested in dwemer ice cream.

    My Argonian does ride around in it with his Dwemer hat and Dwemer armour, even his tail sits comfortably out the back of the spider.

    Oh yes the spider is soooo bad .. because we really need another re-color of a horse or a wolf or a cat ...

    The Spider is part of the lore, its great. The spider has always been cool in ESO, I'm amazed it's taken this long to become a mount tbh. I want a dreugh next ... or a ghost-something. Do something that other MMO's don't and conservatives hate, something actually unique and interesting, just like the spider. People want to pay for something special, not same old crap.

    Id rather shoot the horses, wolves and cats, and remove them from the game. Well maybe leave 1 or 2 of each but make them more unique.
