I'm sure I'm not the only one that prefers the more classical mounts to the glow-splosion that is the crown crates mounts.

I much prefer the expertly textured and tastefully well done trim of the recent mounts. the very fine details in the hair and various saddles, bridles, trim, etc. (that's clearly not just recolors) as well as the expert work on the texturing give such a great air of quality and drinks globe luxury without having things "glow bright green!" or "be on fire!"

myself and others I know have particularly bought these in support of this trend, and will continue to purposefully avoid the flashy, glowing, on fire / electric / green / terminator, mounts that permeate the crown crates.

    Except the dam sparkles and fairy princess mounting sound. seriously, why ruin some of the best realistic mounts with the femininity of a little girl? The mounting up sound cracks me up everytime

    It's been nothing but ugly zombie mounts and things a teenaged boy would think was "cool" until just now and I'm very happy to have a change to something pretty for once.

    I love the sparkles from the mount and my boyfriend does too. It's so fun running around and leaving a trail of sparkles in your path.

    I’d be fine with it if it was a bit less over the top. A couple sparkles here and there, maybe a happy horsie sound affect, fine.

    But what happens with this horse? You press the mount button and then all of the sudden the screen turns pink and someone shouts, “MY LITTLE PONYY”.

    Hyperbole, of course, but you get what I mean.

    I don't mind the sparkles and even the Barbie's-Dream-Horse-mane and tail don't bother me too much.
    But ... that's no horse! There is not one bodypart on this abomination that even remotely looks equine.

    Please give us horses that look normal, down to earth and not like something a five year old drew on a napkin!
    Why getting the pet-pony quite right and then dropping the ball on the rideable version so hard the guys in China are wondering what that thudding sound was?

    I really like the New Horses. But i would have liked at least an option to turn off sparkles/remove christmas tree

    and no: i dont dislike sparkles because im not man enaugh to face some princesness: i dislike green glowing lightning spreading burning mounts as well simply because i prefer something more realistic.

    Would probably have bought it if it had the option to simply be one of the best disigned horses in game without Sparkles

    I bought the sparkle mount and my boyfriend did too. I love the horses. I liked the jingle bells on the Winter Garland horse, and I love the sound and light effects on this new horse.

    That said, I like to see less pretty stuff for other people too. I recognise the game won't always cater to my tastes alone.

    Have no issue with the pony, kinda like hair on the mount horse, but that sound and glow/sparkles - wth?))) Who thought that was a good idea?)))

    Dromedaris - lost and not found. Named after a shoe, what else can you expect from her? A proper tank in her wildest dreams

    Sun Flair - Dunmer Templar that can't spell for life. To bad she's too broke to afford a name change... Well, at least she's pretty...

    Not sure on the unicorn but we'll see. I always love to collect mounts but ESO hasn't been all that great from my POV, I'm just not into badassery. So, who knows!

    Y'know, I actually might pay for that, just because I'm reverting in my old age. Kind of like the camel when you hit the spacebar.

    Lol I know exactly what you are talking about, I had this mount active in pvp last night and i'm pretty sure everyone was enjoying my dismount and mounting sounds, I also was cracking up every time.

    "Its time to go make some rainbows guys! to arms!" *sparkle sound activates as I run off into a zerg*

    Taking the same horse model, changing the colors, adding a small bling-bling on it, then selling it for 3-4K crowns is easy. Making the bug mount that came free with Morrowind is much harder, and you simply don't look the gift Nix Ox in the chelicerae :D
