    Argh, the sparkles ... no, WHY??? :(
    I see it's also based on the skinnier horse model, whose back legs look worse than the regular horse model. It's a shame that if we want horses, we're forced to have ones with open mouths, and weird back legs.
    The painting looks wonderful, though, and the detail on the mane and tail is amazing, too.

    Really we do it without like, the musical instruments. This is the only musical: the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth. Right? The brain, more important than the mouth, is the brain. The brain is much more important.

    I've never actually bought a super expensive mount from the crown store but this is the first I am considering.
    I like the effects and the overall theme my only critique is the braids in the Mount's mane and tail make it look very ♪My Little Pony♪... I'd much rather it be long and flowing like... well, the little pony. LOL

    I would still like to see the Great Elk mount make a Return... I may hold out for that!

    This is without any doubt the ugliest horse I have ever seen in a contemporary computer game!
    It has a small resemblance to a real horse but not very convincing. Head, legs and rump are way off. Like somebody took a thin dog and boltet a mane on it. Plus sparkles.
    The old ESO-horses may look a little bit dated - but THIS thing is not even in the equine ballpark.

    Damn you now I can't unsee the dog...

    I bought both the pet and the mount and made a quick video of them. First part is with all mount upgrades hidden, at 1:00 you can see the horse with all upgrades visible though.
    They sparkle and leave golden glowing footprints on soft underground, and they make a "sparkle"-sound, don't know how to describe that. :smiley:

    The saddlebags are strangely and pleassingly unobtrusive for once. A good model for mount hipflap reform.

    Also, I had no intention of getting that horsey til I saw the sparkles. I might just have to get that now. It is... almost a rainbow-farting pony. I might actually be returning to pvp just so I can ride that around.

    Has anyone mentioned the little tinkling sound that it makes? Does it do this the entire time it is out, or only when it is summoned?

    The pet makes the same sound. I assume that one is all the time.

    The saddle and the hackamore are pretty. That's...unfortunately the only complimentary thing I can say about it. Way, way too over the top, and why does an ordinary, non-magical horse have magical glitter around it?

  • Jagula0901
    That's the new standard now? Every mount will have to have some kind of glowing animation on or around it. Not every mount needs to glow yo be great. I thought the horses were beautiful until I saw the sparkles.

    I noticed both in this video and on mine when I bought it that it doesn't appear to have a stamina visual upgrade. Is this a bug or intended? Just thought I'd ask since it didn't have the text that says "Riding skill does not affect this mount's appearance." on it. @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_GinaBruno

    @ZOS this is my feedback:
    • Bought both the horse and pony.

    • The horse is way too expensive and that price surely discouraged some users but at least the model is very detailed, nice overall (textures, sound, sparkling effect, all nicely done).

    • I still prefer the old horse model (bulky horse) and since many players still run around with old horses (I'm not alone), please release something nice also with the old model (like the Witch horse for example, detailed and interesting).

    • Please ZOS, consider releasing horse armor, they may be overpriced but we ain't going to abandon our beloved old horsey anyways, so make more money and give us armor to apply to them in various styles, it would be fantastic.

    Hopefully that works out better for us than a certain other Horse Armor DLC...

    Yes, this is not Oblivion (single game with infinite possibilities with mods :(), in that case was insulting to offer that DLC.

    Horse armor would be welcome as crappy costumes are (let's be honest, for the most part they are crappy) because we have no mods, just what the store offers.
    Same for adornments, tattos and all the items no one would buy if mods would exists.

    Horse armor in this case is very welcome <3

    When I first saw the mount, I thought it really looked good. It all changed when I previewed. The sound effect is horrible and the sparkles ruin the looks. Golden hoofprints I can handle. This is another no buy for me.

    The majority are trolling, that thread seems a trollfest. Not even worth to spend time replying.

    We got all kind of idiotic effects on mounts by now and the sparkling one is the most ordinary of all.

    It's not even so heavy as the green glowing mess of those stupid wild hunt items was.

    Just ignore them.

    I had the realization a few weeks back as my Dunmer noblewoman was jumping around on her horse waiting to go in PVP that Cyrodiil was the Horse Riding game that my younger self would have loved.

    Its just that now I've grown up. Instead of riding her horse along beaches and forest trails, my princess rides into battle in full armor, screaming "Blood for the Pact!" and slaughtering her enemies. Sometimes, growing up is awesome.
    They said we couldn't be a wizard. The dog we could never have or cat. And now the pony. I say esp let's is live or dreams!
