New Mount Idea: Water-Walking

    A water-walking mount...
    ...would be terribad.

    Much better to let ALL mounts wade through a bit deeper water, perhaps even try to tread water for a bit, and only go bye-bye after, say, three seconds of swimming... (or the first slaughterfish bite, depending) as whatever magic summons them dissipates in "running water" or whatever else we want to use as fluff explaination for our horseys going "poof"

    That oughta take care of all the small puddles which are -just- deep enough to unhorse you for a second...

    So I was thinking about this and how World of Warcraft does it. A water-walking mount. Cause flying mounts are out of the question, however, why not a water walking mount? Like obviously make slaughterfish attack the player either way. Even appear sooner with a slow at first to warn. But I'm tired of running through Murkmire or Grahtwood and having to dismount over a puddle.
    I mean some mounts are better than others, you made the Novelty Stick Mounts not actually affected by mount speed. So why not make a water based mount. I think this would be much more achievable and realistic than flying mounts in ESO.
    What do you guys think?

    I was actually talking to some friends about this very thing just a few days ago, and I agree with you. Getting dismounted all the time is really frustrating.
    Have slaughterfish dismount you and kill you... have the thing entierly disabled in cyrodiil... I don't see a reason to why it wouldn't be possible.
    We've had these mounts for 5 years now. They all work the exact same way and we've had nothing new except looking different. Some variation to mounts, with a difference to playstyle, would be much appreciated.
    The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

    I wouldn't mind mounts that let you walk on water, or float on air, or climb up cliffs.

    Coding wise it'd be a nightmare, but in game wise it'd be amazing.

    There's three Dwemer Spider skins. The default, the blue glow, and the blackend and flaming. In fact, the only mount I can think of that doesn't have at least one reskin is the Senche-Raht.

    @starkerealm There are 3 Senche-Rahts (Senche-Raht, Queen’s Claw Senche-raht, and Cursebound Senche-raht Darkfang). Even the quite unique nix-ox has 3 skins if you count the refrabricated one.
    [Lie] Of course! I don't even worship Daedra!

    Idc how it's done, I just would REALLY appreciate if we could just NOT be dismounted in water. What is the actual point of it happening anyway? If it's an animation issue, why not just use the same animation that is already there when you toggle walk while on your mount. It's slow enough and would look just fine.

    Please pass this topic along @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom this is surely a good QoL feature...

    I dont see why not. ESO is turning into a WoW clone that rides on the legacy of Elder Scrolls.

    I wish the stick horses used mount speed They would be more useful then. Swimming mounts would be nice too as I hate swimming due to the speed.
