ZOS PLEASE ANSWER THIS ON ESO LIVE TODAY

_Chaos · May 2016

Good Afternoon!

I have one question that many players including myself would like answered, as well as a follow up.

Why can't we mount during combat?
Would you consider changing this?

There's many other mechanics that could be changed or altered to drastically improve quality of life, including but not limited to:

While mounting in combat, you start with 25% stamina
Not able to mount within 5-10 seconds since last damage dealt by you
Not able to mount within 5-10 seconds of taking damage

Any one of the above would be very easy to implement, and it would increase the QOL tenfold.
At the very least, please explain why this mechanic is in place, and allow players to debate.

Kindest Regards,
'Chaos

PS. FPS patch worked wonders, you're on the right track on improving performance. Keep it up!

They already said that this eso live is strictly on DB so Anything like this will have to be on later episodes.

To answer OP question, it's a simpler design to do it the way it currently is. To work a timer off damage taken and damage received and to create a model where the horse only has 25% stam is a more significant challenge.

They just need to fix the perpetual in combat bug that occurs in cyrodiil.

Your Mount was slain thus why you where thrown, If your walking in any area and attacked your horse got "skittish" /"spooked" and ran off thus why you will never be able to mount in combat its a Fight only option no flight.

ZoS while you are at it could you also please work in the phrase "but bananas are bananas so what can you do?" as many times as possible during ESO live ?

Much appreciated.

Wut?
No.

Right now it's looking at if you or a group member have been in combat, who they were in combat with, how far away that enemy is, the LOS of said enemy, etc.

This would be changed to a much more simplistic calculation than it currently is. Don't try to spin this off as anything but practical. It is very much within the realm of possibilities.

Edit: You seem to think I want all three of the bullet-ed points in the OP included in the calculation, I'm saying you only need one of them. Or come up with another idea, anything other than what we have now. You've misunderstood. @Giles.floydub17_ESO
