Account wide mount training

Kaitona · August 2015

I would be more inclined to PAY for mount training upgrades in the online store if the upgrade carried across to all characters on my account - like champion points. This poll is to see how many people would invest real money into a mount upgrade IF it carried over to every character on your account.

I wouldn't pay real money for them either way so it doesn't matter to me and it makes more sense IMO for it to be character-specific. It also makes it a more effective gold sink which is something all MMOs need to counter the gold constantly being created.

Agreed, plus it's a useful source of revenue which is needed when people aren't paying a sub - whether it could usefully be included in the ESO Plus benefits is another point altogether.

I think more would sell if it were the case but then again more potential profit from individual id like it if I could buy them with my crowns from eso+ and go account wide but I do not see it happening ever for profit reasons.

Your not upgrading your mount, you're upgrading your character's riding skills. Poll is invalid.

Gidorick · August 2015

If you were upgrading your mount, I would be all for a concept where you upgrade your mount and that mount is the same across all your characters. Then, if you use a different mount, their skills are different.

I agree that crown store upgrades to mounts should be shared across your account. Sadly, it will never happen because you would get the "pay to win" fanatics in here arguing that the crown store should never sell something that gives an unequal advantage over in-game only mechanics.

I wouldn't pay crowns for mount upgrades, period. I can wait and use my in-game gold instead... not like the game has much of gold sinks in the endgame anyhow unless you try for guild traders.

IMO, "riding skill" (which is the thing that makes the mounts go faster, be tougher, carry more and such) is a individual character characteristic just like your class skills, or guild skills, or crafting research, or achievements, or... I think I made my point...

Want better horsepower on your alts? Log in daily, visit stable. Gold for it you can easily transfer from your main...

Yeah it's completely unfathomable to think that a character on your account could have the same thing as another character on your account. Champion point distribution is easily explained across your account. Buying a mount that is usable by every character on your account is easily explained. Sharing the same bank space is easily explained. Having the same playstation ID above your head on each character is easily explained. But sharing mount training? Unfathomable!

Let's keep SOME incentiv to roll more than one character, huh?

Which is almost how it was from the start. Each mount had to be trained (fed) separately, but it was still character specific

I didn't spend my accrued free crowns on it because it isn't shared across all characters. If it had been, I would have.

One thing after another to add to the crown store.

I love the idea, but if this is added, ZOS might as well add a ton of other things we get for free in game to the store.

That's what I'm afraid of.

The simplicity in the crown store is amazing.

After all people, this is an mmo. It's supposed to take a while to get to your objective. regardless of your first, second or even sixth character.

I'd rather them add +2 points per day for your additional characters, that would make much more sense than to pay for account wide upgrades.

i dont think it even needs to apply to all characters. i think it just needs a price drop. 10 upgrades to a specific character or split between characters if banked, to a specific attribute for 1000 crowns.

Cant remember how 1000 crowns translates to a specific value in GBP but i know i bought a mount for 700 crowns and all characters could use the mount.

it seems very over priced. Though having levelled up some stamina(10) and speed(22) not just capacity, I am beginning to see 10 upgrades can be a very notice able difference. but still when its only for one character or when it costs so much i think they probably limit their sales and revenue more by making it so pricey. Though this may be a good thing it rewards committed players who log in regularly and have been playing for a long time, but doesn't exclude newcomers with more cash than sense.

Not unless the stable-bought training would apply across characters as well, and I don't want to see that either.

Hey, why don't we ask Sten what he thinks.

Sten says no.

Really, if you make a new character it should be a new character. The Champion Points are bad enough.

pvp ranks should be account wide... who cares about mounts :P

ADarklore · August 2015

You all don't even want to know how much I've spent in paying for 'character mount' upgrades from the Crown Store, only to delete that character later and start another, pay for another mount upgrade, rinse and repeat. I cannot deal with the slow mount speeds which make leveling feel so much more tedious than having the speed to get from place to place much faster. So while one would think I would support account wide upgrades, the fact that I've made choices in creating and deleting characters and this isn't the fault of ZOS; I'm a prime example of how they've made a LOT of money for the system they have now.

Example why it is weird:
I train my horse riding skills, someone else on the world is as good as I am without training

No different then CPs. Hey, they should just go ahead and put all the riding skills into the CP system and train them up that way.

This is one of the worst drawbacks to creating an alt. The slooowww speed is a killer. I've already bought 4 boosters and don't feel inclined to buy more.

vamp_emily · August 2015

I wake up every morning and feed my horses ( I know its called something else, I call it feeding ) and I have over 8 of them. It just takes a little time and dedication.

I vote against mount upgrades being account wide; I also, vote against CP being account wide.

And don't lie, you know you have an alarm set JUST to feed/train them too!
Haha

It would be nice to know that if I creating an alt for any reason, he'd be capable of moving faster then a dead guy jogs.

QB941 · August 2015

It's called training now not feeding. That confused me when I see posts about feeding because I came in to ESO in the beginning of this month and in the stables there is no feeding anymore. It's called training :-)

Just for the sake of not having peeps in BwB with maxed out mounts making raids with newer players having to wait 3 hours.

Also... yeah, you get rapid maneuvers at level 10, and you don't even need to PvP for that...

True... but this also means you have to give up a slot to place Rapid Maneuver on your bar... and most people, especially solo PvE players, can't afford to give up a damage or healing ability just for the speed boost.

I use RM on my crafting alt because he doesn't need to worry about combat, he just needs to get to those crafting stations faster!

An incentive is doing with your alt something you can't do with your main. Different class skills, quest choices, areas to level in, crafting. Training a horse again exactly the same way as before isn't an incentive, it's tedium.

That said, each of my characters is a different person and I feel it would be wrong for a brand new character to start with maxed out skills. That's why I don't use champion points until I hit v1. I'm 99% sure account-wide riding skill wouldn't be optional, so I don't want it.

tist · August 2015

I was on the edge of purchasing it for my main but decided not to for this reason. Surely there are many others players that do not mind purchasing for all characters so this is a gamble for zos.
