Somebody had to start such topic.

Ok, all our horses are getting consolidated into single UI available for every character.

While this is pretty nice change and you no longer have to spend gold to buy horse every character (you will still have to spend quite alot of time to level up your riding skills) those of us who have several alts and bought them Light Horse just loset 42700g. Multiply this number by the number of alts you have with that horse.
I lost 85400 for example (do not count horse on my main).

So, lets get this Complain Train started.

    Yeah me to. MMO's change, thats the way it is. In SWG i spend 70 million credits on "anti decay" kits for my armor. Then they decided all armor no longer needed to decay and got rid of it. I bought 8 Nym's slugthrowers 6 million a piece. Everytime i bought one they where nerfed soon afterwards. I sold 60 pnt Tiglon's for 250 million after the NGE which made me rich though. Until everyone started to do it.

    Point is... mmo's change. It is also in the EULA everything is subject to change. Better deal with it because next year the game will be totally different again of what we have soon.

    Agreed, things change, you waste some money on stuff that becomes obsolete. Welcome to (MMO) life.

    Forget about the waste, consider it the cost of doing business, and carry on. Not like you won't earn that and more chasing champion points anyways... ;)

    Such a feeling of deja vu here .. oh yeah, that's right, many years ago in WOW when Blizzard made mounts account-wide.

    Good luck getting refunds guys, WOW players never did.

    Well, you still get something out of the horses you bought - it saves you time.

    If you bought a light horse for each of your alts, each of them will automatically get speed riding skill maxed out. If you bought them a 1g horse instead, you will have to spend 10 days training to max it out.

    But, yea. It's a pricey shortcut :)

    On my 8 characters, I have:
    - 8 draft horses
    - 7 light horses
    This amounts to 640,500g.
    Without counting horses on my main, that's still 555,100g. Refund please?

    Alternative suggestion: a baby horse pet for players who spend more than 1M gold in the stables.

    I can see the logic behind wanting refunds on the purchase price of horses (although I don't see it happening), but there is no logic behind a refund on the upgrades. Those aren't lost: they become that character's riding skill. The horses become account-wide, but their upgrades go to the character who the horse used to belong to.

    In EQ2 I spent weeks grinding faction to get the rime mount, which was the best available in the game at the time. Less than a month later, iirc, they added faster mounts.

    It's just the way it goes. Stuff changes, you waste time and money getting things that become useless or irrelevant or not good enough.

    Chalk it up to a loss.

    The far bigger complaint about the horse change at the moment is that it's buggy as heck and people are losing inventory spaces, and hence, losing items from their inventory.

    Assuming they manage to fix this before live (and there's going to be a huge ****-storm if they don't), I really won't care about the lost gold I spent buying horses on alts.

    The mind boggles as to how you got so much gold to spend like that.

    ah ok so the upgrades that went on the horse are now character specific, missed that thought it would be still horse specific mybad

    Exactly. there is no economy in this Game . I am sitting on over 700k gold just by selling 'useless' stuff to other players rather than destroying it. My poor fellow cannot even buy a house to rest his weary bones . No he has to sleep outdoors without even tent to shield him from the elements.

    ZoS made many bad decisions in making this game and think that by changing to the Champion system they have solved the problem.

    Unfortunately the game is rotten to the core. Starting with the distinct levelled areas(holding the credit card wielding children's hands so they will not get frightened) and going right through to the end game at approximately Level 50 that left Anchors dropping all over Tamriel . Game over no need to do Cadwell's silver and gold as they are just pointless quest grinds that you get as fillers in a normal story line. . Probably the main reason so many fled this bean-counter created game.

    So to complain about the money most of us have spent to create horses is missing the point entirely .

    Another problem associated with this change is that the initial starting bonuses you receive immediate upon purchase of a Light Horse or a Draft Horse do not transfer to the new system. The horse stats you receive are based on what you have fed your horse and not what was included with its purchase.

    There was a staff post that indicated that the bonus for purchasing these horses would be included in the 1.6 riding skill, but many of us found on logging into the PTS that this was not the case. Only the feedings count. My requests for clarification have been met only with silence.

    I do not expect a refund or any kind of compensation coming my way for any of the changes made (though I think it would be a nice gesture). It's quite clear to me that I got what I paid for and that's all done; all future things are to attract the new people and their crown shop money.

    The good news is soon I can play for free. Maybe that's intended to be our consolation prize.
    Happy All the Holidays To You and Yours!

    Have you been using your horse(s) since buying, and will you continue to do so until 1.6 is live? You have benefitted from your mount(s) as you wanted and are not due anything in return.

    Im glad horses are going account wide. but I have just made a new toon and dont have access to any horses from my other toons. and the white one that we pused to purchased for 1 gold is not for sale in the market. so what Id really like to know is when are the horses getting rolled out account wide? And when is the crown store coming? I thought march 6th but its march 10 and I dont see either. Also do not see this "training" that some folks are referencing.

    Hit the U key, go to mounts then double click which mount you want, should be able to ride as soon as your character gets off the boat.

    This. Many people had lots of legendary items they spent a lot more than a few mounts' worth to upgrade before Craglorn hit and the raise to VR12 came. Then the same thing happened again with VR14, and when they revamped the set bonuses in general to have mini bonuses while at the same time changing some of them significantly. It's an MMORPG, things change.

    No pastreward for dungeon achievement (with exp)
    No pastreward for exp after v14 (i got 50kk for example)
