Who Wants Mounted Combat in Cryodiil?!

Vanthras79

Imagine firing a bow or staff from a mount. Sure you have mount stamina to worry about, but would that look cool? Need a gap close? Imagine crit rush on a mount with flair!

Aliyavana

They can't even fix combat firing off right in cyrodil

VaranisArano

Can I get a ground-based AOE called "Knee-deep Pools of Water"?

Dragath

No.
Exactly what aliyavana said.

geonsocal

I'd love to see it added - however, i believe zos is many years (and dollars) away from being able to successfully introduce and implement something like this...

VaranisArano

More seriously, adding mounted combat would require ZOS to redesign targeting, design new animations, design new skills to use and combat mounted enemies, and fix recurring bugs.

After all, no one wants to get bugged out standing on their mount or riding in the ground while in mounted combat.

Armatesz

As a person that is fast on mounts, no I would not want that... why? Because I think it would be taking advantage of certain situations and make it unfair on others.

Kolache

Considering the attainable foot-speed we have now I'd imagine mounted combat in ESO would look like Tron light-cycles.

TequilaFire

Hmm, being run down by a zerg of mounts the possibilities. lol

jaye63

You think zergs lag things now.... just wait til they're on horses.

Garamant

I wouldnt go as far as to suggest mounted combat, but i wouldnt be opposed to horsecharge damage (get hit by the horse, throws you to the ground like dizzying swing would for example), and a certain horsearmor, or protection, so you dont get thrown of your horse by every little skeeverbite. After all its a world of magic and steel, if there is protection for the player, why shouldnt there be one for his horse. And make them researchable like stamina/speed/carryweight.

Hahaha, imagine the tears if there is at least a 120 day wait time until you get to have a chance with a new char... And think of the P2W whines because of the riding lessons...

Oh the joy

you'd be dead five minutes before you even realized it...

Vapirko

The game really can’t handle anything new and the game is too zergy already. This would just encourage more.

Mic1007

If they can get normal combat to work seamlessly.

VerboseQuips

Yes! And jousting, please! :-D

Cronopoly

No!

All of us have been gibbed/killed before even knowing you were hit and that's by toons on foot in a busy area. There's no way combat on moving mounts could be coordinated within the same Client Server system.

In programmer c++ speak it would require extended "Rays" attached to players bodies well beyond current, out in front to interact, and with fast speeds, the collision boxes, the logic would be MORE for the servers to calculate.

Lets have Templars jabs fixed first, and that's RIGHT IN FRONT of the Templar, near stationary. Mounted...Pfft

callen4492

Personally, I think only stamina wardens should be allowed to use their skills while riding on their mounts...

Thevampirenight

I would say maybe and this is how they should do it. You can only use weapon abilties and no ultimate while mounted. No Class abilties only weapon skill line abilties can be used on the mount.

Iskras

Just fix the LAG!

baltic1284

I can see mounted combat if they fixed the LAG and the Combat and I don't actually fixed the issues instead of saying they did and don't.

Sigma957

Mounted combat would go something like this......... Zerg hoard meets Zerg hoard in open fields and are about to fire their weapon when in range but everything stops because the mounts are stuck on a blade of grass

Beardimus

It would end badly. Lag and look ridiculous.

BUT something as simple as a horse ultimate would work. Power charge, acts like DK leap. Normal immunity applies

Only usable is sprinting for x seconds.

Imagine chatting to a keep under attack, and scattering the defenders fixing the door

TheShadowScout

Definitely, mounted combat for all the "knight on horseback" feel!
But then, I would say that, would I not, considering I included a mounted combat idea among my other weapon skill thoughts: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/371862/additional-weapon-skill-ideas-mk-ii

Armatesz

10/10 it would be harder for a solo person to kill a zerg by themselves... people mounted are far easier to disperse than ones not mounted.

Azurya

only causes more threds like NERF THIS OR THAT MOUNT, IT IS OP

so pls NO

pod88kk

I think if it was only light and heavy attacks it would work

DurzoBlint13

I love the idea, but they can not get the server to work properly now. Lag, skipped frames, stutter, ping....whatever you want to call it, there is no way they could/would implement this without it being a complete fail

Seraphayel

God no. The mount handling is awful, I really don't want to think about mounted combat. That would be clunky + clunky = super clunky. No thanks.

MjolnirVilkas

LOL at silly people saying no.
