Group Mount in U27?

Lord_Eomer

Is Group Mount change coming with U27?

essi2

Group Mount?

Unified_Gaming

Yeah it should be coming based on their live stream last night. No word on whether the other person can use skills but I imagine it'll be the same as when you ride - rapids only.

FierceSam

Aside from RP, I’m not entirely sure what the point of a group mount is... maybe allowing you to ferry around your mates’ new low level characters once they blockade Rapids behind a crapton of PvP... or enabling players who have already got Rapids to charge for rushing new players through pathfinder achievements...

But hey, they’ll stick it in the Crownstore for 5,000 Crowns, or lock it behind gamble boxes, so I’m sure it will be a winner.

Will there be new mounts or will any mount be able to carry two persons ?

Sad waste of resources. Said resources could of been used in so so many better ways.

It's using new mounts. On the stream they showed a dwemer crab that was able to hold a driver and a passenger, a bit like a motorcycle with a rider and a pillion passenger.

Not quite the chariots, wagons and war mammoths I was dreaming of.

I think it must be new mounts. Imagine two people on a little hunched guar. Or how should they fit into the Dwemer spider mount? One sitting on the other's shoulders? Would look amusing, though.

Not Bad ZoS, you're only several years late with it compared to other MMOs

As cool as it looks my first thought was, "but why?"

Mitrenga

Imagine the mount sprint glitch, two or more people standing on a moving mount? I'm in.

Crapton of pvp? They probably are moving it to second skill in the line. The second rank of alliance skill line unluck at 700 ap and the third one at 8k ap wich is a keep+2 ressources
If they push it at rank 4 at the place of warhorn it is 38k ap normally less than an hour
Vigor is currently rank 5 wich unluck at 98k wich can be done in an evening

Its not that difficult or long at all just find a goup and follow them(your not even forced to enter it)
Undaunted mettle is way more long to grind


This come from a pveer that goes in cyro once a month for transmute crystal

You can do artistic performances then. Many people seemed to like the House of Reveries on Summerset - so why not a bit of circus this time?

Would be cool if we could get Dragons in Cyrodiil that carry 5 players, faster than they can ride around the map individually.

Now, that would be fun.

Try following a group in Cyrodiil on a slow pony with no Rapids and see how long you can keep up or even stay alive.. or even get to the battle - that AP just became a load more difficult to farm...

Unless they suddenly come up with some mount that allows experienced players to help new ones get about the battlefield quickly..... only available through the Crown Store or gamble boxes obviously .... but not even ZOS would be so f-ing cynical.

People asking for a taxi to certain wayshrines will be able to find one, then?

Oh, wow. Do you mean the ESO Live stream that was from 3 PM to 4 PM EDT? If so, I must have missed that part. It figures the most interesting (to me) part of the stream would come during the one time I had to leave the room for a bit.

Done it multiple time
Durring a mayhem 2 years ago i maxed the skill line to rank 10(1 158 00 ap) on 15 characters 10 of wich got lee than 20 speed and in these 10 5 were between 5-10 speed

None of my now 18 character unlocked rapid with skill point as of now
Yes im terrible when it come to remember to go train my mount

GenjiraX

What if it means everyone in the group rides at the speed of the slowest?

Iluvrien

Silt Striders ftw!

SickleCider

New mounts, I understand.

Hear me out, though. If they made it so two people could ride a horse, the passenger hugging the driver, my heart would melt.

I don't know when they mentioned it in the stream for the first time (I missed that mention, myself), but they gave a group mount to one of the give-away winners toward the end of the stream.
I mean, it will be unlocked on that person's account when the mount is actually added to the game.

Hurbster

And how do we get the mounts ? Crown store ?

Chufu

Here you can see that mount again: https://clips.twitch.tv/InventiveGloriousBunnyYee​

I assume it will be a crownstore mount, indeed.

Sounds pretty cool to travel other people to specific destinations, e.g. in Cyrodiil. But yeah probably depends on how much money do you want to pay for it, it's unrealistic that we all would get it for free.

Shadowasrial

Unless they upgrade radiant apex and apex mounts to allow for this I honestly have no desire for them. We spend so much on those mounts that if they don’t upgrade them then there isn’t much point.

No, I don't want no scrubs

Can't really see much use for a group mount to be honest unless it was to ferry new players around. The only MMO I played that had such a system in place also had mounted combat, which is of course missing from ESO. Be cool if it did get implemented though because I've always wanted to do a mounted cavalry charge into the Ebonheart Pact lines

On current horses they have our characters sitting, for some weird reason, at the very edge of the front of the oversized saddles. Big old space on that saddle. More than enough room for another person (At least with a nord/altmer rider, the mounts get pretty big).
