this has to be a joke right?

That's a clear sign these designs are getting out of hand, it's like they're racing trying to make the flashiest mount they can every year.

Make better concepts, mounts don't need to be a walking FX circus to look cool.

That would require work, probably that's the issue.

That thing is glorious.

It is pay2win mount for Cyro.
Just buy it and ride directly into the siege. Psychic attack.
The enemy troops will be stunned/disoriented for at least a minute. They just won't be able to press the buttons.
Well, bad part: your troops may be stunned too.

This thread is the best thing I've experienced this week.

How am I on page 4 of this thread and have not seen one "General Kenobi" reference? I am very disappointed in you, forum. 😅

To me this is just a giant middle finger...

At least give us the ability to hide this abomination...

I see from the announcement Crown Store Showcase - November 2024 that this Symphony of Dawn Charger will also be available with gems and seals.

I probably won't buy one, I don't think it looks like something I want to be riding.

I expect to see players in games riding these on PS/NA soon, in places where I usually see multiple players, like the Vivec City crafting area.

Are they having some sort of contest in the office for designing the ugliest mounts?!

The flower-power kitty has certainly been dethroned by this fortnite atrocity.

To be honest, I think both look better than that awful, blinding Voidmother monstrosity that makes you grow giant green spikes out of your back.

Oh sure as soon as the populace finds out that this mount pisses some people off it will be a top seller on the crown store...that is how our lovely community thinks.

Lag? What lag? That's just the effect of the new Symphony of Disorientation mount. Stop looking at it! Your skills won't fire! See.... there you did it again!

I really hope the dismount/unsummon animation looks something like this.

I'm sorry for everyone who likes this horse, but it's such a poor implementation (for my taste) of otherwise interesting idea

It's the worst mount I've seen in ESO so far. Even white senche-raht with funny haircut, too bright-colored flowers and unsettling white "grave-clothes" on his saddle looks stylish now!

This horse's default name should be "Fine Addition". Sadly, I really don't see it as fine addition to my collection

it's basically just Symphony of Blades + Auroran Zenith Warhorse

I would personally never get an idea to combine such things, but the idea itself is ok. Based on it, I would really make different design:

1) It should be Meridia-style armor (but not the same as this horse has) on the body of invisible horse. I personally never liked current armor on Auroran mounts (horses and wolves so far), it's not elegant at all.
2) Arms with swords should not be attached to it and should hover just as they do for Aegis-type monsters.
3) Fill the hollow under armor with moderately visible golden fog/light which helps to shape the horse body. But no solid glowing horse, please

4) The golden fog should be thicker where the legs touch the ground (and leave trail, of course) and hide the hooves. This way, the horse can look like it hovers over the ground, would be very cool!

I'm always sad when some mount/cosmetic item is not perfectly designed/unfinished

I laughed at everything in this thread, thanks all for funny comments

The picture with multiple more arms is awesome! And I can't find a part where someone said that when you use Aegis Caller set + Trample skill, this Aegis monster would ride this scary horse into battle while spinning all their blades, I laughed out loud when reading this on mobile before going to bed yesterday XD

Looks like the trample scribed skill has a new favourite mount.

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.

LOL

I see what you did there. Maybe the glowing stave appears only when templars use the mount.

It's not a middle finger to the player base. It is, however, proof that ZOS isn't trying as hard as they should be anymore.

purple-magicb16_ESO · November 1

Looks a little too pointy for me to ride. Lol!

majulook · November 1

Does it make a large Splash of color and make a loud sound when summoned?

ArchMikem · November 1

I will fully expect this thing to contribute to my dps numbers.

Tenthirty2 · November 1

I just want to be able to charge through overland mobs and see them go flying into pieces in my wake.
Now THAT, I would pay many coins for.

Maybe it will give a damage buff if you use it for that mount charge scribing skill?

I'm sure they knew exactly what they were doing -it's a gift meme to the community. The on fire dog is so 2014.

WhiteCoatSyndrome · November 1

I’ll be honest, the first time I saw the picture of this thing I thought someone was playing around in Photoshop and posted the result as a joke. 🤮

Servadei · November 1

It looks like some mess that AI would generate.

AzuraFan · November 1

I'd be afraid to ride that thing lol. I certainly wouldn't want to take a fall off one. Might get cleaved in half. But hey, I bought the disco horse and ride it proudly, so who am I to judge?

THIS is actually doable. A settings toggle that changes everyone's Mount into the default Sorrel Horse for you.

I would turn that on immediately.
