Sparkles...Have You Lost Your Minds?!?

Korah_Eaglecry · February 2018

The White Gold Imperial Horse, aside from the typical leg issues, is actually a very well done and detailed mount. But whomever decided to put sparkles on it like this is some My Little Pony episode is not funny.

3500 crowns that I WAS going to be spending on this, but now I wont be.

My it’s a vampire horse from the Twilight series and that’s why it sparkles in sunlight???

Lmao

i think charging 3500 crowns in itself shows they have lost their minds

Don't forget that bronies constitute a significant portion of ESO's fanbase!

Edit: For srs tho, I actually kind of like it. They've made plenty of cheesy models, glad they can go more than one way with that cheesiness. And nothing is wrong with levity or something pretty, even in Tamriel.

I love sparkling stuff! I am totally into this pony!

pauli133 · February 2018

Braids, sparkles, and chimes. It's exactly what the target market wants.

Nihility42 · February 2018

Sparkles is where you draw the line? That's too much? Not fire horses or any of the other stuff they've released? Is this an immersion problem or because you're afraid of anything that might be considered cutesy or feminine?

Lynx7386 · February 2018

Meh, i won't buy any mount that isn't a senche anyways.

Feanor · February 2018

There was a thread predicting Sparkles from the data mined concept art. So it’s not really a surprise. My little Pony meets ESO.

Slurg · February 2018

Yay Sparkles! I wonder how many more people will buy it for the sparkles than won’t buy it because of the sparkles.

That price though.

Pink unicorn coming next.

I don’t remember that data mined unicorn being pink, but there can always be re-colors.

LadyAstrum · February 2018

Can't there be one damn mount with sparkles for those that want/like it? You're not going to like every single thing in the crown store. I'm not interested in frost mounts or fire mounts, I like the sparkles.

Stania · February 2018

I won't be satisfied until they release my Clockwork Unicorn Attack!

Mureel · February 2018

It's the bridle that makes it a NO from me. Awkward, clunky, just weird....a fine, gold chain bridle would have been better.

Yeah, it's the price that really turns me off to it. Hoping I can manage to save enough crowns to get the faction mount/rider getup, which is already too pricy imo.

jssriot · February 2018

Y'all so fragile that you're scared of a few sparkles and braids? It's for people like you that, when I do groups, I refer to my manly man Breton healer's healing springs as his "glitter bombs." LOL. Snowflakes.

Deal with it or don't. But you might want take a hard look yourselves in the mirror. If you can.

Cage_Lizardman · February 2018

What if we say they're sparkling with animosity, elitism and teabagging rather than friendship?

elantaura · February 2018

I was humming and haring untill I seen sparkles and bought it.

Agreed. 3500 crowns for a mount is an absurd price. To put that absurdity into perspective, collectors editions of DLCs typically sell for 4000-5000 crowns and those include the DLC, a mount and at least one other item.

I’d say ZOS is price gouging here but evidently some players feel differently.

LonePirate · February 2018

nvm

LadyAstrum · February 2018

3500 crowns versus how much to get a crown crate mount? I'll still with my direct purchase mounts, thanks.

Was wondering same. How is that (sparkles) any crazier than flames or glowy blue stuff?

Is a hefty price and one I'm not sure I want to pay. This will take some consideration but the sparkle bit seems no stranger to me than some of the other mount effects. More subtle in fact near as I can tell.

LadyAstrum · February 2018

Yes, fire, frost, smoky type effects are fine, but don't dare put sparkles on anything.

emilyhyoyeon · February 2018

I love the visual design of the horse and the sparkles make me love the horse even more, but I won't buy a mount for 3500 crowns.

Livvy · February 2018

LOVE this horse! And I think the sparkles are done in a very tasteful way, IMO. Not overdone like some of the effects on mounts these days.

idk · February 2018

OMG it has sparkles. I've got to get it. I like sparkles.

It's more inline wiht the rest of the game, it's justified-ish with daedric summoning, elementals, and so on. Sparkles, in this instance, is just sparkles for no reason?
