this has to be a joke right?

To me, it demonstrates that ZOS have (literally) lost the plot with this game.

And most folks on this forum voted "no" when someone did a survey for a giant chicken mount, and many said no because they said a giant chicken mount would be too silly.

and I think this thing is atrocious too. They have all flewn out the window of style consistency for Elder Scrolls. The mounts have become such utter nonsense of weird FX affects and themes, but we can't have a normal looking horse that is themed to like a fighter or a merchant's guar.

We can only loot the headpiece from the Symphony of Blades, but this horse got the whole 4 arms.

First, regarding the chicken mount... who wants a mount that reports you to the guards every time you break the law. SMH.

Anyway, the more I think about this mount the more I realize that ZOS is out of ideas for mounts. It is only going to get crazier as they dig up all the ideas that were rejected over the years and start rolling them out.

We don't have a Wamasu mount, an Echatere mount or even a clannfear mount but we get to have this... thing...
I'll vote with my wallet.

Ok but HOW did this happen? How did multiple people look at this, go "yep we need that in game, for sure!" and approve it??? Did no one actually LOOK at it? Is it AI generated?

Its giving “we copy and pasted symphony of blade’s arms onto a horse’s flanks”. It’d be cooler if it was at least a centaur creature. Arms on the flanks make NO SENSE.

I mean-- I kind of admire the creativity; like why take the time to create new assets when you could just combine existing ones together, right???? Nothing sad about that at all.... nope. And yes, it has resulted in what I can only consider an abomination.... definitely doesn't align with the feedback requesting less flashy, over the top mounts either.... but hey~ arms horse.

Curious how much they're going to dare to charge for this.... glorious work of art, considering it legit is just the symphony of blades arms thrown onto the Auroran Warhorse with some glowing VFX.

Red and yellow = McDonalds colors... This is a horrible design.

StihlReign · October 31

Can we just get 300 days of no glowy mounts or gear?

Or hey, give us a toggle since toggles are in...

Toggle off - Mount effects | Personal or Universal or both
Toggle off - Weapon Glow effects | Personal
Toggle off - Shield Glow effects | Personal

This mount needs a glowing hollowjack stave jutting out of it's head like a unicorn horn. That's the only thing that's missing.

Yeah, the colors are definitely the biggest issue.

Not much use for riding through forests. That's a very allikr horse

It's great for riding through forests.

There won't be much forest left, but cool elves don't look back at excessive offhand logging.

You know, there was a thread about dragon mounts not too long ago and I replied dismissively saying that there's already enough wings flapping around at ground level with the twilight matriarchs.... but if only I knew that a wingspan of arms and swords would join the mix, I would have happily said I'd prefer ground level only dragons.

Announcing the next installment in the Mount & Blade series?

gamergirldk · October 31

So are we taking bets on how many we will see within the first 3 dayes?

Cazador · October 31

There is no way I'd ever buy or use this but this is really funny

xylena_lazarow · October 31

This is so bad it's good.

freespirit · October 31

Luckily I don't have to buy this, unfortunately I'm probably going to have to see it!!

I would not be surprised to hear that ZOS sells more than enough of these to cover their cost of creating it.

PrincessOfThieves · October 31

This honestly looks ridiculous. Would be better if the swords were just levitating around like the summoned blades from that craftable Wrothgar set.

I hate this mount, and that's why I want it XD - I could get it if it'd be cheap, but I suspect it will have an outrageous price.

The level of effort to create this is probably equivalent to level of effort it took to think of it - which is minimal. This is truly awful, but I expect we'll see more of this type of stuff in the future, rather than less....

My guess is creating it cost them like 10 dollars so....

OMG what is that?!?!

spartaxoxo · October 31

I'm all for trying to be creative and do something different. But I don't even know?

OtarTheMad · October 31

You dismount and lose all your limbs but hey... you can RP as TES version of Monty Python's Black Knight. Dialogue is just "Tis but a scratch" Saves time in quests.

Right? The arms of Symphony of Blades aren’t even attached normally. Could’ve just deleted the torso and head and shoved a horse in there. Its using the same bland “its glowing!” texture too.
