Zos you come in for a lot of stick from a lot of players on the forum (me included) but the Pay To Lose in the crown store made me proper belly laugh, thankfully i had just swallowed my mouth full of tea, otherwise there would be tea all over my new 32" gaming monitor, Proper Funny.

    They're selling fake mounts for 900 crowns/350 crown gems for a stick mount that you can't sprint on nor does it use your mount training speed, so it's very slow and useless.
    Toon list:
    PC NA:
    Chip Ahoy: Magicka Templar khajiit WW healer and crafter of metals, clothes, leather and wood
    Rose Scale: Magicka Nightblade argonian WW DPS and 'evil' toon (steals stuff from barrels)
    Snip Ahoy: Stamina Dragonknight khajiit WW tank
    Walks-Through-Corn: Magicka Templar argonian Vampire tank and also cooks food
    Snowy Kitten: Magicka Sorcerer khajiit WW healer and also makes glyphs
    Valerie Ahoy: Stamina Nightblade khajiit WW DPS/tank
    Mixes-With-Mud: Stamina Warden khajiit WW DPS and also mixes potions
    Tyrenan: Magicka Warden khajiit healer
    Always-Brings-Light: Magicka Dragonknight argonian WW DPS
    Howls-At-Moons: Stamina Warden argonian WW healer
    Giggles-At-Everything: Stamina Sorc argonian WW DPS
    Hugger-Of-Griffons: Stamina DK argonian WW poison focused DPS and ring/necklace crafter.

    Wishlist from ZOS: Chestnut Unicorn mount and the Lilmothiit race, would definitely pay 10K crowns or even 20K crowns for it.

    I have to admit, I had a bit of a chuckle at the category name 'Pay to lose'

    But you can sprint (with using horse stamina, not yours!). Use rapid maneuver also.
    So only no training speed.

    But funny, c'mon man.

    Agreed, and they're labeled "novelty" so really anyone expecting something otherwise was fooling themselves. The regular run animation is hilarious and spot on! And, I didn't like the sprint animation at first, as you just put the stick "mount" over your shoulder and start running. But, as another player pointed out in another thread, it's more like your player gets tired of going so slow and so slings it over his shoulder and just starts sprinting.

    I dunno - to each his own. But I appreciate (and love) these mounts for what they were intended to be: novelty items for the Jesters Festival.
