Hey ZOS could we get some horse love please?

Ceridwynne

Yes please! I want my main to have a horse but the ones available don't look right. Their coats are great but they look too stubby. I don't like their upgrade accessories either, they need more detail/decoration.

I am so glad someone brought this up! I dithered for a month after starting before finally buying a mount. I really wanted an armored warhorse (and yes, I am aware of the Alliance mounts) but the horses all seem so blah to me, and none seemed appropriate for my warrior maiden Nord.

In this game, lizards can ride lizards, cats can ride cats, Redguards can ride awesome camels, but what culturally appropriate mount is a Nord supposed to ride? (Don't say, 'his sister,' haters!)

Please give us some more diverse and attractive horses!

They should add 20 horses on the crown store and they all look the same just different colors. Easy money right there. It is not like it's "deteriorating" the gaming industry with micro transactions or anything.

olsborg

Im all for more race specific crownstore stuff. Mounts, armors, weapons etc etc

Robbie529

This is a great idea! I do love horses. Arabians in the game would be a dream come true.

StormWylf

Great idea, I hope it catches on,

Lore_lai

YES please!
Give us more horse meshes - different body types.
Better looking tails and FORELOCKS FFS!

Thumbs up for post.

I do like this idea, but it could be a bit hard to do unless they just sell one horse that the appearance changes depending on your race, just like the alliance horse and dogs. Tho if they do this, they probably won't show upgrades, just like the alliance horses, which I don't mind, and that their color can be affected as well. Like dark elf horses could be an ash grey, orange, or black. Argonian's could be like a muddy brown. Honestly, I don't know at the moment.

Maybe also have their race symbol on the saddles too?

You can get arrested for that you know

That title made me think twice about clocking on it while on a work network .....

VampiricByNature

I love this idea! More distinct horses would definitely make me ride one again!

I miss the blanket under the saddle one would get after reaching level 20 in all riding skills prior to the Overhaul to mounts/riding : (

Mongolian ponies FTW!

I would additionally like for them to add the ability to dye mount accessories so they match my armor.

As you mentioned it, can I get a Twilight Sparkle Pony?!

AlMcFly

Yes please, we need a Horse Overhaul or Horse Armor Overhaul. Either that, or release a wave of horses with incredible armor (similar to horse with Dwemer armor). I would love to ride a horse, but most of them are lacking in either design or complexity.

Sheezabeast

Lets add some buyable mounts to the Stable! I would love to see some more horses to spend gold on.

Well, there's the Alliance War Horse that looks a lot like your example for the Bretons.



But, I really like your idea. I also think the model for the horse is kinda lacking. A new horse model for different breeds would be pretty cool!

Their horse models look stumpy tbh. I can't go a mile where I live without passing a horse farm in either direction, and very few of them look as fat and stocky as Eso horses. but maybe its just me...

hamgatan

Rule 34 is real!

Gear for Horse is realt attractive ideal and can gain alot profitable for Zos. Good ideal. Any1 can tag any Dev?

Sadly no one thought, "Hey people would actually want these in the colors of their choice." Notice you hardly EVER see them. Short of giving us the ability to DYE horse tack they need to offer a range of non-alliance colors.

Or maybe use guild tabard colors instead. That's already in game.

I am sure Twilight Sparkle Pony will return locked in a gamble box soon.



For the record, this is NOT what most of us want.

I agree. I have that horse and like her, but barely use her. I use the normal-looking horses literally every day, though. I'd be happy to pay money for new normal-looking horse recolors. (And please bring back the gray dappled horse.)

Completely agree with this thread.

It would great to have racial horses, but even the ones we already have need vast improvement. Their conformation is entirely wrong, especially the hindquarters and hocks. Horses like that simply don't exist.

Other games manage to design far more realistic horses. Why not ZO$?

So very much this!!!

When I first started playing a couple of months ago I was so excited to find out that they had so many different mounts, but horses are my first love (I still play LOTRO, which is a *very* horsey game) so I went straight to the stables to get a look, and I was aghast. After how pretty the toons are, after how amazing the plants and buildings and even little details like vegetables and those hanging poultry are...and the horse looks like that. The hindquarters and hocks as mentioned, the thickness of all the limbs, the unnatural neck position, and ye gods that face. So incredibly derpy. We have derphorses. Please, please fix it so our horses stop derping, they deserve to be as pretty as our toons!

Would also be cool if the training cap of horse skills was risen to 80.

Would remove some down time in PVP, and improve your bag size

Horse love is illegal in civilized Tamriel. Thread closed.

FloppyTouch

I love the horse mount but not in love with the way they look. I agree 100% horses need some love. New breeds with detail and not flashy lights would b amazing.

This was the best horse they ever came out with besides the crown crate iterations.

The frost mare is a legitimately appealing mount.
