I want to know. That was maybe one of the thing that hyped me for months, it was cool and actually useful for helping a friend in both PvP and PvE

It seems that ZoS completely abandoned this idea. I'm sad :'(

    What happened was that the PTS test revealed an enormously serious bug. Basically if you crashed while dual mounted you got perma banned.

    Well dang. That would have been awesome - hope they find a way to fix it. Having something like a Mammoth mount to share rides with would be awesome.

    Hopefully they haven't given up on this. I too was hyped up for months about it and was crushed to hear about that bug. How hard could it be to code "if mounted on dual mount, do not ban account"? I guess stuff has "progressed" to much less fixable than the old Basic programs used to be. xD

    @Iccotak @Fhritz Last I heard they were working on a fix, but as this bug was something that triggered something deep in the anti-cheat software they use to protect the game from hacks it might take a good, long while if it is possible at all. Then with all the challenges presented in the last year with lockdowns and work from home, well it is likely to take even longer.

    If this is the case ZOS should just give the mount to those ball groups everyone keeps talking about. Since I’m hardly ever in Cyrodiil I have never seen one myself, but they sound pretty awful. 🙂

    Maybe it works at least with companions. I thought that the idea for the "double seater" mount was at all connected to the companions.

    Since the problem is with their anti-botting program I suspect they want to be very careful with how they fix it to make sure they don't cause themselves bigger problems in the process.

    Yes. The Anti Cheat system was not able to tell the difference between the player riding shotgun on a 2-seater mount, and a player using some sort of speed hack. It would think you were cheating and ban you, when in reality you were just the 2nd player on a 2 seater mount who got dismounted.

    Some guy on ps4 recently came out as the winner of that contest Zos did, that rewarded one person with every pet, mount...house I think?. He has this mount, showed the pic. PS4 is the worst system to play eso on with how many crashes you experience on it...rip that guy if that banning is true.

    It never got past the PTS once the bug was found.

    Now it can take some time.
    Khajiit tail turfs was an option togeter with tail spikes for Argonian in the Morrowind PTS.
    It showed up on one Khajiit in CWC but he later lost it.

    But another Khajiit in the Solitude dock has one, and this who shows up for a quest in southern Elsweyr.

    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Well apparently it did, because he has it, like I said, he has pics to prove it...

    Okay pics or it didn't happen. Though it is possible they simply disabled the two seater part I guess.

    Someone pointed out that if you open the help menu in game (F1), there's still a line that show help for the "multi-rider mount"

    Because ZoS doesn't say anything about it, they just announced it, made some test on pts and that's it, it disappeared like it never existed. I have hope, so I'll trust you even if I like to have sources for making my own opinion

    You mean like the player that got their own character, and probably 99% of the playerbase doesn't even know it exists in Elsweyr?

    I don't know ... the "passenger" on the back seat with the freely hanging feet reminds me of a toddler in a shopping cart. :|
    If the two-person mount should come at some point, then hopefully with a slightly modified design.

    I mean we can’t even scroll or sell presently in the game. I doubt they know HOW to fix it after over a year now. Plus who knows what adding that would break since last few patches we got several bugs for every new feature added.
