I want my speed straps and face mask back on my Nightmare horse!!!

Lady_Rosabella · March 2015

@Zos I just don't understand why you removed those? Your patch notes say "If you have all three riding upgrades on your mount, it will appear as though you don’t have any upgrades. This is only a visual issue, and will be fixed in a future patch." Why remove them now, why not wait until you can fix it "in a future patch"?

I worked hard after the update to get my stamina up so my nightmare horse would loose those ugly brown saddle bags and get the metal face mask. It made the horse look wicked as all get out. Now my Nightmare horse looks so plain, except for the awesome flames and smoke effects. I understand this is only a visual issue and we still have all the effects of speed,stamina, and capacity but for the life of me I don't understand why you removed them before you were able to "fix" them????

Yeah, I know.

I dont know how zos thinks people are going spend real money on mounts when they cant even run for 10 seconds without stopping, and have zero visual upgrades that you spend gold on. I know I will not be purchasing any more mounts till both of these issues are eventually resolved.

"Why remove them now, why not wait until you can fix it "in a future patch"?"

They didn't remove them. It absolutely wasn't intentional of them. A bug prevents the visuals from appearing in game. It's not game breaking, and it hurts absolutely no one. As such, there's no reason to have delayed the patch of highly needed bug fixes.

My god, you people will cry about anything.

Lady_Rosabella · March 2015

This is as much my forum as it is yours @Froggmann5 if I want to complain about something I'm going to. When I spend my in game gold on training to get the boost and the visual effects on my mounts, not to mention my hard earned money on crown points to get the mounts I want in the game I have the right to post my complaints. If in your little mind that is crying about anything then you've got issues, please feel free to not comment.

I don't think they ever intended for a horse to have all upgrades at once. I recall them even suggesting that a toggle may be added to let you pick which horse upgrade appearance you want to be seen.

Perniciouss · April 2015

Actually, I have an even better idea. First, fix is so that mount riding skill appearances work as was originally intended which is the first two skills to be leveled past 20 have their appearance graphic set to show.

However, also make it so that you can earn the right to have all three riding skill graphics to show by getting all three skills (Strength, Stamina and Bag space) to lvl 60. It provides a way for people to show visually that they have all three riding skills maxed out and makes people feel good because most of us love our cool looking mounts.

They're about to make it so that you can choose which display, since many players specifically leveled certain attributes to achieve a desired cosmetic effect.

Lady_Rosabella · April 2015

@Perniciouss I agree but I would like the option to choose which one, two, or three of them to show, as for me those ugly brown saddle bags on the black Nightmare horse just doesn't look right. If they were black bags it would probably help.

That's why, after the update, I got my stamina past 20 so that they disappeared and had the speed straps and metal face mask on my Nightmare. We put gold into the training to get the skills in speed, stamina, & capacity, but also to get the visual effects on our mounts, to loose those effects really stinks. I hope they give us the option to put them back on the mounts, but as I said to only show the ones we would like to display.

Lylith · April 2015

personally, although i've got all three upgrades, i'd as soon those bulgy saddlebags NEVER show up again on my horses.

the guar and senche versions, otoh, are just fine as are the the straps and the facial armor on all mounts.

jmo.

Lady_Rosabella · April 2015

@dietlime Thanks for replying, I think we were probably typing our replies at the same time because I didn't see yours until I had already posted mine. That would be great to have that option, I am working on all my character's training to get them up to 60 on all and would love to only be able to display the straps and metal faceplate.

I wonder when they will have that available to us? My mounts look nekkid. Lol

They were in fact halfway through this process of adding the toggles but hadn't finished it yet which is why you currently see nothing because they put in the half of the code that turns the visuals off without having the part of the code that toggles them on being complete. It was unintentional and they said as much in the patch notes. And yes, I too find the annoying whining about issues that don't affect game play to be what depresses me most about reading these forums.

If some topics annoy you so much why read them, and why respond to them? Why push yourself into a depression by reading things you don't agree with? Is whining about how someone else is whining not defeating the purpose of posting?

I logged in after a week and a bit of not playing and also found that my saddle bags and helmet were gone and had to wade through several pages of posts as the patch notes did not make sense to me. I want to thank the OP for creating this post as it clarified to me that the armour and straps were gone and it was not some UI bug that I could reset in-game, as someone in one of my guilds had told me.

Cheers!

But...but..it's ruining my immersion! Oh wait, that only works for RP'ers....lol

I thought it was a crummy bug too, but I'm not losing sleep over it. They'll fix it eventually. I actually wish I could choose which options to show. I don't care for the saddle bags. I thought it was cool for about a day when I got them on my very first horse. I thought ZoS paid that little extra to detail. Was kinda nice. As long as the abilities are still working, no big deal.

Ace_of_Destiny · June 2015

Has anybody heard if ZOS are still working for a "toggle" of which mount upgrades to show/hide?
