Imperial Edition Horses No Longer

HavocBringer · March 2015

So........ What in the actual [snip]? You pre-order a game and then a year later they take away your pre-order bonus. What in the [snip] was the point of pre-ordering this piece of [snip]?

I'm talking about the fact that you can no longer buy Imperial Edition Horses ( At all ) New characters on Pre-Ordered Imperial Edition Accounts are forced to pay 10k+ for a horse like the rest of the peasants in tamriel.

This is really unfair for them to take this away from paying customers, This should of stayed for all Imperial Edition accounts, And whats the reason for taking it away? Will there be any compensation? Why hasn't there been any compensation yet?

Am glad the game is going F2P because i would cancel my sub AGAIN because of this [snip]

Did you check the "Collections" tab from the top of the screen? I believe the Imperial Horse is there now. You don't need to buy it.

Why they take away this so smart lol button ...

Sharee · March 2015

Calm down.

Horses are now account-wide. Any new characters you make automatically have the imperial horse in their collection (assuming you already bought it on a different character). You do not have to buy it anymore. Just go to collections menu, and double-click the horse to make it your active one. Then you can mount it as usual.

Somebody doesn't like to read all the windows that pop up on their screen when a new update that introduces new systems goes live.

Indeed. New players do not even have to pay the outrageous price of 1 gold anymore as the horse is automatically placed in the collections.

I had this bug on PTS. Whio is surprised that it's not fixed?

P3ZZL3 · March 2015

@HavocBringer I wonder if he will return to say thanks for pointing this out, I raged to quickly and apologize.

It's not a bug. You cannot buy a horse if you already own it, since it is now an account-wide unlock. You can only unlock it once.

SantieClaws · March 2015

They don't get to pay one gold anymore?! That's outragous! I want my hard earned three gold pieces that I paid for those horses back!

Also I want three free guar for the emotional distress this has caused me and my characters. Think what I could have done with that gold. A little bit of sweetroll, a rusty dagger, a leather bootlace, even a 'used' copy of The Lusty Argonian Maid maybe.

OP as others have said, horses are in a new UI called collections, maybe use your eyes?:}, and saying that people are peasants is a bit nasty to say, and once again, why do people keep saying its F2P, its B2P, there is a difference, ones free, other you have to purchase to play, bit like the vast majority of games.

/facepalm

But if you want to cancel, shut the door on your raging way out.

Well, yeah. I know it. When my characters was copied on PTS, I didn't had Imperial horse on any character (but characters on Live have it). And I also wasn't able to buy it.

So what happens if you have a sweetroll horse and then buy the Imperial Edition in the crown store? Does the imperial horse supersede Sweetroll?

SantieClaws · March 2015

You can have more than one kind of mount - they are counting on that because there will be loads of them in the crown store.

So you get to keep Sweetroll and your imperial horse and you select which one is your chosen mount to use at the moment by clicking on it in the collections panel.

Each horse is a separate unlock. Like an achievement or something. On the collections UI, you can then choose which horse you want to ride(it gets a tick mark). It's just a cosmetic thing, since the speed etc is now based on the character riding the horse, not the horse itself.

That would be definitely a bug, but sounds more like a character copy issue to me(so it shouldn't affect live).

Danikat · March 2015

I don't understand why this is confusing. I've been playing the game for 2 weeks, went on the PTS for 3 minutes and was able to find where my horse was stored and how to enable it.

As other people have said once you've bought 1 Imperial horse for 1g you then get it for free on all your other characters. Even a brand new character who hasn't left Coldharbor can get it. (But sadly you cannot ride it in Coldharbor.)

I'm so full of rage because <reasons> I'm going to come to the forums and spew forth my hate...

Or I could do a little research, like a mild, mannered man.

Hrmmmm.... decisions, decisions...

Very true .. however reading the PATCH NOTES isn't 'elitist' it's what all sensible players do after, you know, a PATCH!

Not knowing things is totally fine. Asking questions is fine as well. Raging, blaming and crying "bugs everywhere" is not fine. Ask a question with a reasonable attitude and you will get polite answers

The only person really being elitist funnily enough, is yourself:}. and I quote, `New characters on Pre-Ordered Imperial Edition Accounts are forced to pay 10k+ for a horse like the rest of the peasants in tamriel.`

Peasants?, thinking you are something special as you purchased Pre-Order Imperial Edition?, lol, just lol. I got it, so did many others, difference being, myself and many others would not refer to others as `peasants`, which is an elitist viewpoint.

Your logic fails, please uninstall your game and cancel sub, as you are exactly the kind of person ESO does not need in the game, at least the elitists know they are being elitist, that much I respect, although I despise them.

In future, actually research or use your eyes/brain before leaping to incredible conclusions that have no basis in fact.

/facepalm

anitajoneb17_ESO · March 2015

English is a foreign language for me so I'm wondering... has the word "elitist" turned into being the last "insulting" word available to people who want to save their brain energy once they've run out of words including a **** ?

Really, OP, is it sooo painful to think a bit ? to apologize ? to cool down ?

Leon119 · March 2015

im really pissed of at ZoS for removing the lol button now -.-

@Mentis , you have some nerve! Don't you realize there are people that spent eight times that amount?

The travesty...

@Leon119 , LoL doesn't do this sort of thing justice...
