Would you like to be able to attack from horseback?

Mounted combat, cavalry charge, Ghengis Kahn. Is this something that you would be interested in? Mounted attacks with both ranged and melee. I think this would make for some epic pvp and would also be a fun way to slay mobs in pve. What say you?

✭✭Attack from horseback? I'd be happy if my horse could jump over a small rock without rearing up and having to turn around and get a run at it.16 -
VlVEC✭✭✭Yes, mounted combat would be just lovely.The horses are way too clunky, but they added horse combat into Skyrim so I guess anything is possible.The beginning of the words is ALMSIVI. I give you this as Vivec.
Almalexia, Sotha Sil, and Vivec.

Dcaliber✭✭✭No, what a dumb idea.Oh that would be great, in Cyrodil not mounted and not only do you get kited by a caster, but the caster is on a horse which is much faster than you. It works in a single player game, not in ESO."Sanity and happiness are an impossible combination"

✭Personally i just dont care about this feature.
Im fine with not having it , would prefer that they spent the time working on other things.
But that is me."Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

✭No, what a dumb idea.If they add that, then there is no way to get away in PVP if the attacker is on a horse.
But if they add NPC's on horses who can hunt you down and nuke you while they are on an NPC horse, then that is fine. The NPC's need a boost
I think NPC should have more 'one shot' skills that effects only people on horses.Edited by Natjur on July 22, 2014 1:39AM2 -
Auralia✭✭✭No, what a dumb idea.I don't really think it would work. Besides horses feel rather clunky especially when they get stuck on and can't even jump over a tiny rock.1 -
SFBryan18✭✭✭✭✭
✭Yes, mounted combat would be just lovely.Surprised anyone would say no. If it was like the mounted combat from Skyrim, it would be decent. Weapons only... swords, staffs, and bows, but no abilities.Edited by SFBryan18 on July 22, 2014 2:18AM2 -
Zorrashi✭✭✭✭✭Yes, mounted combat would be just lovely.Would be nice, but I think we would need serverely reduced weapon damage or something.
Seems unfair if I can come in blasting damage only for them to be unable to hit because I can ride away.0 -
Noctisse✭✭✭I am a very confused person in general and have no idea what I want.Honestly I don't even have a horse!
I'll let you know my feelings about this subject once I get one...0 -

✭Yes, mounted combat would be just lovely.Mounted archer could be a skill in the bow line.1 -
Taz✭✭✭Yes, mounted combat would be just lovely.Yessss please. They already have a caltrops morph that dismounts players, so a few more anti-cavalry abilities or morphs like that would be useful in counteracting the attack. Also as someone else said, I think weapon attacks only, no abilities.1 -
ThisOnePosts✭✭✭✭✭Yes, mounted combat would be just lovely.of course.... XD the more combat the better imo!0 -
No, what a dumb idea.when they added mounted combat in LOTRO the whole feel of the game changed...and not for the good2 -
Smolt✭✭✭Yes, mounted combat would be just lovely.This is assuming, of course that they are capable of making this work (in a balanced way), while continuing to make other improvements/fixes. I was hoping this could be treated as a stand alone issue. The idea of cavalry defence tech in pvp would also be cool.0
-
Drazhar14✭✭✭✭✭Yes, mounted combat would be just lovely.Mounted combat just like in Skyrim would make PvP even more amazing. I hope they do add this.0 -
MercyKilling✭✭✭✭✭No, what a dumb idea.I don't even own a horse, much less PvP. Mounted combat means nothing to me.I am not spending a single penny on the game until changes are made to the game that I want to see.
1) Remove having to be in a guild to sell items to other players at a kiosk.
2) Cosmetic modding for armor and clothing.
3) Difficulty slider.
4) Fully customizable player housing that isn't tied to anything in the game other than having the correct resources and enough gold to build. Don't tie it to PvP, guild membership, or anything at all. Oh, make it instanced so as not to take up world map space, too. Zeni screwed this one up already.
Any /one/ of these things implemented would get me spending again, maybe even subbing.0 -
Yes, mounted combat would be just lovely.yes, since we can get knocked off our horses I think this would be fine.Sanguine's Beta Tester0

Nocturnalfox✭✭✭Yes, mounted combat would be just lovely.Yes, but implementing it would be a nightmare.
I would actually like to see polearms too, to hit horses and when you are riding if you can go fast enough lancing players.
As for attacking with swords and bows its possible, but using skills would be hard to implement, for a start no impulse on horseback... lol
Beyond the few OP skills I don't see why not and what is bad about it. They could even make a basic attack for being mounted.Vasiliya Vet 8 DK -NA DC-

✭✭I am a very confused person in general and have no idea what I want.Sure give us elephant mounts or something for sieging, they'll need to move very slowly though so no chase downs while mounted or anything.0 -
Yes, mounted combat would be just lovely.Yes but add spears, pikes, and wielhammers (A Germanic hammer pole that knocked knights off their horses and stabbed them with.)0 -
NadiusMaximus✭✭✭✭✭Yes, mounted combat would be just lovely.As long as heavy cavalry tactics could be used and horses didn't get stuck on small rocks like they do now.0 -
AoEnwyr✭✭✭✭I am a very confused person in general and have no idea what I want.I don't want full on mounted combat but I would like to automatically dismount when I hit the attack key rather than having a mob maul my horse while I try to get off the sod.
Although special jousting matches would be a fun form of pvp.Edited by AoEnwyr on August 8, 2014 6:45AM1 -
Wolfshead✭✭✭✭Yes, mounted combat would be just lovely.Yes for when i play Age of Conan the have that feature and it was really fun feature both in PvE and PvP so i would love to see that one in ESO as well and i'm little surprise that Blizzard have not add that feature to WoW but i guess the care more about the money then the Game

Yes, mounted combat would be just lovely.For one handed melee only / bows with a miss chance increasing the further they go, no abilities. Melee attacks from horse back should get a damage bonus the faster you are going.0

✭✭No, what a dumb idea.Impossible to implement, would be a waste of time & resources IMO.
Plus it will never be as awesome as Mount & Blade.1
