The whole system needs a revamp into something less stressful, though a respec option would be easier to code in. A confirmation box is needed at the least and it's quite sad there isn't one right now. Feeding your Light horse oats can very well be the last nail in the coffin to some people.

Respec on a horse should absolutely be allowed, it should be the cost of the horse AND have a 30 day timer on it.

2) When you forgot that the last feed adds +1 to all three stats. My characters now have inventories of 121 instead of a nice round 120. And this bothers me .

What?????????????????

Sorry but having an extra space bothers you?

can understand why people want to change horse types, but it won't happen because horses are a gold sink. And buying a new horse and feeding it, plus the sub-time is too good a cash cow for the devs to mess about with.

You clearly don't appreciate full-blown OCD quite enough

I half agree with alive741, which is about twice as much as I agree with most people.
I'd love to see horse respecs someday, although I think in order to make sure it's not being abused by a constant respec going from grinding to pvp (and back and forth) so you can load up or fly across Cyrodiil, respectively.
I'm not really on the board with cost though. I don't think it should charge. For a couple of reasons.

1. We *already* paid. After that we paid some more. We paid for the horse then we paid (many of us) once a day for weeks on end. Maybe a small fee but I definitely don't think it should be the cost of the horse (if you're going to charge the cost of the horse in the first place... just buy a new horse, IMO anyway).
2. We pay for so much already on our own characters, let the horses be a hobby rather than a constant pain/upkeep. Have to pay for redistribution of attribute points (Fair, imo), pay for Skill redistribution (thank you, thank you thank you for putting in the option to just change morphs and both fair imo), pay for regular upkeep on a character (repairs, mats for gear, gear itself for some, fairly average and totally fair imo), pay for friendship (No? Just me then... okay, skip that).

I think that a long cool down, maybe as long as two months or as short as two weeks would work pretty well. Perhaps something that would work just as well would be a single free respec at the point where you hit level cap on your horse. Then, if you wait till you're done with questing (mostly) and switching gears in play style you could also change your horse. Or, if you wanted to experiment with different things, you could do that as you level and then make a solid decision at the cap. Of course I realize that you can look up all of the information on what each attribute does and personally I did when building all four of my expensive horses, however I wanted to see what decor stam would give (couldn't find it at the beginning, I'm sure there's pictures out there somewhere now) and whether or not I could make it effective for some of the tasks I'd had in mind.
Maybe one day they'll add in horse racing or some other feature and the outcry will become overwhelming. I know at this point I bought a black horse and went Stam at the start to see if it was worth it; I won't go into the painful saga of why I don't hate it and at the same time why I think it's useless at this point but I ended up buying another horse once I'd decided that I didn't see a need for Stam at this point in the game.

If they do add horse racing... I'm really hoping to see a "slow track" with maybe something like a constant DoT where the goal is just to make it to the finish line. That would make me feel substantially better about Stam.

Even more I'd love to see some different types of mounts... like giant guar or even better a wamasu... oh, that'd be so cool. Also totally different thread I suppose. Anyway, whatever your opinion, I hope to see you ride by in Tamriel! Have a good one!

Yes pls, only close minded would not want this

If the current mount system is going to stay the way it is, they need to add a horse respec and they need to add more levels to the horse. When they transition to the champion system I really hope they had the foresight to apply it to horses as well, otherwise we'll be at the current predicament with a system that was only designed for 50 levels when they continue to add more levels.

I'd really like to see them introduce a breeding system for mounts, then they can justify not having a respec. That way each generation of horse or whatever creature they're creating will have a higher cap on stats and certain breeds to be bred together to creature rare breeds with special abilities. The possibilities are boundless.

Why is everyone giving ridicilous penalties to respec, just make it cost 100g per skillpoint invested in the horse. I couldnt care less if someone changed their horse build 10 times a day... seriously.

champion system for horses lol

What's so funny about them extending the levels for horses that clearly weren't meant for veteran levels? do you think the current cap on stamina is going to be suitable with the growing power creep?

I think there's better things for them to do than code a complex leveling system for horses. There's not even enough features for that.

I don't know what you mean the horses weren't meant for veteran levels. It's a mount, it's not your fighting buddy.

Edit: people use stamina on their horses? And how would the level increase matter with regards to that. Like you need to push the sprint button more often? lol

By all means should horse-respec be possible, since the stats/visuals don't place themselfs as they should.

I'd like the first one for free since one of my horses suddenly got bags on it going from level 48 to 49, eventhough the 'carrying' ended on lvl 17 where no bags should be visible at all.

All my horses are 20 Bag Space, the rest speed. I can't see me giving up the bag space, so not sure if I would respec or not if I could. Although I might do so to get rid of the extra 1 bag I got stuck with.

Anyway, I see no reason as to why a horse could not be respecced. If people want friction, then make it so the horse has to be at L50, and make it cost half the price it took to level the horse (6250 Gold)

Yea, why not. Wouldn't hurt. Just give it a reasonable cost so it isn't abused but not so much that I could just buy another horse.

Yes, because 1) we need more gold sinks and 2) I made a mistake on my Nord's horse and she doesn't have the speed straps I like so much.

Early on, I spent a few points in speed which, in retrospect, I should have placed in carry capacity. Yes, I would like to respec my horse.
