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

Valkysas154 · February 2018

Price is a bit much but not as much as the Horrible ELK mount at 4500 crowns with a dead face a spazing left leg no summon effect and no way to remove upgraded bags
And a sparkling horse fits fine in the game just think of it as a templar horse
now go back to screaming at templars for giving you shiny healing

3500 crowns...and I thought 1800 crowns was pushing it...

Fire horse was what...2500?

Still, it is a hefty price and it is causing me to hesitate. I have the crowns saved but...that tack...that price...

Let's not forget about the Elk for 4500

Awww but he's so darn cute. Too big though, I'd be more inclined were he smaller. Like the effadump.

i am NOT saying this is a Promise of what is going to happen but it might, i mean, is this what you want to see happen from alot of Angry people in Cryodiil?

ETA: Just logged in and checked other prices. Kagouti Fabricant is 3000. Let's face it, ALL these are vanity mounts and thus the prices are going to be what ZMax thinks they can get. Judging by the amount of flaming or blue or clanky mounts I see, they're getting a LOT. Heh.

Indeed, as long as folks are willing to pay for it, they'll keep charging those prices. But to each their own. I tend to waste my disposable income on crown crates sometimes.

LadyAstrum · February 2018

The Great Dark Stag was also 4000 crowns. The Dire Pony was 1500...at least this sparkly pony is a little cheaper.

Yeah the Fire horse is 2500. Guess I should have clarified, my cap is 1800 crowns.

I don't have a cap in particular. Since I don't spend money on booze or partying or stuff like that, I figure I might as well spend it on something I like here (if I haven't already spent my allotment on books). BUT it has to interest me and flames, bones, clanky and such really don't. The sparkles are not nearly as "in your face" but, I must think on this.

So none of you have ever owned a horse and put twinkle toes on it? (we did hoof black and glitter years ago ) you can get sparkle dust too - way more fun than barbie. there's heap of sparkly horse products. Ain't no fire ones though.( but there is I choose you rapidash! )

Seriously it's the most normal I by glitter by the kilo for work. my bengal cat knocked half a cup on my ragdoll cat. Despite washing him.He was running about leaving a sparkly trail like that for a month ( he even had sparkle poop) and when they fought there would be a little glitter cloud.

Heh, no, never did. Ours were all working horses so it would've been impractical. I used to take a lot of teasing about mane/tail braiding though.

As long as we're putting sparkles on stuff now I could use a decent pair of sparkly underwear.

Moloch1514 · February 2018

Perfect mount for my Star Butterfly RP toon.

Skua · February 2018

I have mixed feelings. I love the delicateness of this mount and the braids are beautiful. It also has really pretty colors all around. The sparkles I don't mind one way or another.

On the negative side, the back legs like the normal horse still feel off and the bridle is clunky and does not go around the bottom of the head at all. If those two things were tweaked it would look stunning.

The pony also has his mouth gaping open even though he has no bit in his mouth which I find off-putting.

I hope they will make more mounts with this model of horse including some that are not quite so fancy since I find it more appealing than the original horse.

Also I would love to see the horse with mount upgrades if anyone that has purchased the horse has them.

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...not crazy about that. The missing throat latch bugs me.

That too- pointlessly lame bridle.

Stovahkiin · February 2018

The horse itself looks great, but the sparkles are an instant dealbreaker for me

Suldyne · February 2018

I love how extreme some reactions are. Every time something new comes out there's a forum post titled something like "ARE YOU JOKING ZOS??!?!?!?" Chill.
The sparkles were in the image they posted in the crown showcase. If you don't like it, don't buy it and leave others to enjoy it.

I think it's a beautiful horse and don't mind the sparkles. The worst part seems to be the issues with the horse's model.

Perhaps in the future they could have some kind of option to turn certain mount effects off for those who don't like them though? Probably not, but eh.

There's a thought. Like that explosion with the fire critters? Eh, they'd have to do it for both "owner" and "everyone else" so I kind of doubt it'll happen.

Ah well, I liked the idea.

Danikat · February 2018

I don't mind the sparkles. I agree with the people saying it's no worse than flaming horses or ice horses or zombie horses, just a different aesthetic.

I might even be tempted to buy it, if it was 1/2 the price and I had a character it would suit. But none of my ESO characters are feminine enough, they'd all look out of place riding it. It looks like the kind of horse my warden's mother would have liked her to ride before she ran away from home to live with the Beldama Wyrd, and then strike out on her own to fight daedra.

duendology · February 2018

3500 crowns for extra braids.
Nope.

And personally, I want a fine dark and grim badass mount and not, as someone described it on twitter, a Barbie horse.. but that's me.

And from what I saw in the preview... such a mount will be available with the new DLC. yay!

Sheezabeast · February 2018

You don't see people weeping over cadaverous mounts like the zombie and skeletal ones...so why do sparkles flip your switch?

I have all the settings off to hide the mount upgrades.On this character, I have capacity to 20 I think.

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?

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

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?

sparkles for sparkles sake is fine with me

not gunna buy it but im happy to see some sparkles ingame.

Can someone please put a video up?

Someone did, it's in the stickied announcement thread at the top, first page of the thread.

I do like this horse a great deal (though the conformation bothers me). However, with Outfit tokens and slots looming for purchase, my ESO Plus crowns are going to things like that. At 2K I might have bought this horse. At 3500, nope.

elantaura · February 2018

So as for sparkles It's the white gold tower horse.I bought it hours ago but remember something about that then didn't even question.
Tel var stones are bits from the white gold tower if you did the IC quest it mentions that. They contain all "elements of magical practice" within them that's in a book - from my understanding that's schools of magic basically. So all magic.
It also says rich nobels horse in the description so they could have used ground stone to groom a horse. Fed to horse?
Really all the horses in imperial city should be sparkling with those stones about crushed under hooves but that's the reason I'm going with as too the sparkles.
