unicorns mount

mr1sho · February 2016

Lol that's right you know what time it is and this my friends is lore friendly
Benefits of having a unicorn mount is resistance to poison magic and normal attacks and it's faster than normal mount make it happen Zos

Gidorick · February 2016

I agree!

But, I'm COMPLETELY Serious. Here's why:
Unicorns exist on Nirn

They are VERY rare

The high price of this item will keep it rare, if existent at ALL

The question of "Has anyone ever seen one" is TOTALLY appropriate for the unicorn

It would be a relatively quick mount to make

If anyone ever bought it, ZOS would make the easiest $1K they ever made.

I just like the meta-game idea of people questioning their existence and maybe THINKING they saw one but wasn't sure. I think 100,000 Crowns is high enough that there probably isn't anyone that would be willing to shell out the money for it, but low enough that someone with a bunch of burnable cash might buy it for kicks and grins.

Thoughts?

I hade one in FFXIV and it was glorious. Would love to have one in this game too. I just want to be fabulous.

WldKarde · February 2016

I'm just going to go out on a limb here...

After they fix much more important things first!

After that, if lore allows, sure why not have...have your unicorn.

I'd rather they continue to improve the game I enjoy first though

Fluff can wait

*reads thread*

Sigh... That moment when you have watched my little pony all your life and can't go on the internet without seeing people who think you are attracted to cartoon horses just because you watch a show.

Anyways, on topic...

I do not like the idea of a mount having a "special benefit" that other mounts can't have, unless these other mounts also have a different benefit of some sort. Even worse if this mount is sold in the Crown Store.

But I do not oppose to Unicorns being added, even if it is not really my thing (I like my characters to look as "mundane" as possible), since they appear (or are at least mentioned) in previous games. It is lore friendly.

In Oblivion:

There must be a way to control the number of Unicorns running around, though, as they are supposed to be really rare. I do not like it to be controlled by the price of it, but honestly I don't have any better ideas.

Indeed, unicorns have no lore reason against them, except for being darn rare. (and possibly only ride-able by characters who never ever have done any ERP...

)

Extra special benefits for mounts though is a no-no, for PtW-complaint reasons.

^THIS!^

That's -exactly- how I'd want to see unicorns done in ESO. So fu... uhm... fuggly expensive noone in their right mind would even think about it, but... sitting there, taunting people from the crown store, and growing into a ingame myth of once having seen someone who actoually bought the unicorn...

(one could argue about the exact price, but it definitely ought to be something that makes people call tech support and ask if its a typoo...)

ScruffyWhiskers · February 2016

A Rainbow mount would be interesting. A flying Rainbow mount would be even better!

CJohnson81 · February 2016

I don't want them to be rare because they're expensive. I want them to be rare in that RNGesus prays to himself to get one to spawn. It would be in Cryodiil. It would give PVP buffs while you have it, but the thing would run away the second you get knocked from it.

Could be interesting like a special mount for the emperor

But if it is sssssoooo super rare why would ZoS then sell in crown store for then it would not be super rare for make no damn sense to sell in crown store if is super rare mount ^^

But it would make more sense then add in to game so we have found it this super rare mount and kill and if we are are lucky it will drop 1 mount but drop rate would be super low like 0,0001%

But I hope the never add unicorns to this game personal i feel it dont belong in world like ESO atlest i think it dont.

But unicorns are in the world of TES so are dragons IDK why people are getting so angry about fine dragons for lore reasons can't be added I have come to that conclusion but unicorns Titans etc are not bound this rule so why is it a big deal for people

babylon · February 2016

Nope, everything in the cash shop needs to be within range of each other - you don't want someone running around with a super rare cash-bought item lording it over the server like it's an actual accomplishment.

AOECAPS · February 2016

I thought this was going to be a statement by Zos saying they are going to balance Templars

If the mounts in the crown store are better then the mounts that can be bought with gold, it is a sure start to the p2w system.

Jaeysa · February 2016

Why not just have it gated by a very difficult achievement?

VShane · February 2016

NAH Panda with Butterfly wings and shoots sparks out of its ass while sprinting

Wreuntzylla · February 2016

They would not be as rare as you think at $1k. Need to bump it to $20k.

ZOS_MollyH · February 2016

Hey all, several comments have been removed for trollbaiting and for being insulting. Let's keep focused on ESO, thanks!

silky_soft · February 2016

Is a goat mount lore friendly?

LMar · February 2016

The unicorn would attack anyone drawing weapons (as per Oblivion), so having a unicorn mount implies a pacifist character. Has any one of you ever not attacked anything in the game? You kinda have to in this game

Volkodav · February 2016

With all the people here in the forums who say they have millions in gold,this thing wouldnt be rare at all.

VShane · February 2016

In AOC, you can fight from your mount AND the mount can fight

If they sold it for a ridiculous amount of real money it would be

However,as I said,..that 100,000 will be fine with all the millionaires who post here.They say they have millions in gold,so it will have to be priced a lot higher.Why would ZOS take the time to develop and add something to the crown store that wouldnt sell very well?
Just wondering. :}

Kathrein · February 2016

i would LOVE that mount

Spottswoode · February 2016

I want a troll mount. So we can post it on these types of threads and say "You already have that mount."

SantieClaws · February 2016

I'd like to keep my unicorns in the Witcher thank you very much - stuffed or otherwise.
