Those new (coloured alliance themed) radiant mounts

Prof_Bawbag

Do they work like the alliance mounts already in game i.e you get one and it changes tabard colour depending on the alliance of the toon you're using?

If not, an even bigger *** move than putting radiant mounts in in the first place. Not even sure if they've been referred to as alliance coloured mounts, but it's obvious that by using the colours that they did, some people would be drawn to a certain one and would be forgiven for thinking they were in some way alliance specific colours.

Ignore all the above if the rags/coverings do indeed change colour depending on the alliance of your character.

Just because there's a blue and a red one, I still don't see them in any way alliance colour themed... your assumption that everyone would see it the way you did at least failed with me.

Blue... it's a lightning themed steed, what else would you use?
Orange... magma/fire themed.
Red... all of the dark brotherhood themed stuff is black and red, it's shadow themed...

Yeaaaah, right. By the same token it's not a stretch to say they are intended to entice people who are DC to attempt for the blue one and so on. Huge coincidence that all 3 colours just so happen to be those colours. Granted, the orange kinda goes against the grain a little but again, it's not too dissimilar to the AD colour.

Ok, so you're saying that in future, use of blue, red, yellow or orange (since it's so close to AD) themed mounts should not be offered because it's false advertising? Lump in green and purple, since while we're at it those could be seen as BG faction themed?

We get pink unicorns! Hooray!

Sorry, pink is the color of the Foofleberry Fairies in the upcoming Summerset chapter so you can't have that either.

I just want something shadow themed that I can actually buy. No more of this Apex poodoo

After reading the thread, then looking at the mounts, then reading the thread again, I don't see how you can associate these mounts with the ESO factions. For one, the associated EP mount is a lion, which happens to be DC's mascot.

Also when selling alliance-themed cosmetics before ZOS chose a much lower price point. *has himself a laugh*

One mount is orange, not yellow.
And as Greif said, the lion mount is in the "wrong" faction if they were meant to be alliance-themed. They don't look alliance-themed to me.

The mounts clearly aren't alliance themed, the wolf doesn't even look remotely yellow.. Fire/ice/lightning plus a shadow type has pretty much been the standard for the radiant mounts (minus the Halloween ones) and I really don't understand where people are getting this Alliance relation from. Black and red, blue, and washed out orange for fire are regular color schemes in both the crates and regular CS content.
