Hey guys,
This Thursday (tomorrow), we’ll begin selling the Sabre Cat mount for a limited time until March 20. Please note that this mount features special armor as seen in the screenshot below; its visuals are not affected by individual mount upgrades, and they cannot be removed.

LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE!
Just kidding
that thing looks badass. I'd like to say I won't be purchasing it because I have enough mounts, but one can really never have enough mounts. Max CP, 11 explicitly average characters on XB1 NA1 -

Unless it's going to be elk prices. Then you can keep it. I'm not going to buy a single item that costs as much as an entire expansion. No thanks.4 -

✭✭Thanks for advance notice; it's good to know exactly what one is buying before buying it. On that note, is there a chance we'll get a video with the release announcement to see animations and sounds?

Panda_iMunch✭✭✭✭Oh, so it's like the Elk in the way that the mount doesn't have visual changes, like bags or straps, when upgrading?
Well I guess that feature is out the window on new mounts, but does the lack of upgrade changes affect the price?0 -

More money for less mount features, seems about right. No issue here at all.2 -

Dissentinel✭✭✭Hmm, it does seem greedy to actually model the armor for the mount and then sell it separately when they could have included it. I hope that the price of the mount was reduced a little to make up for it... I don't remember how much the sabre cat costs off the top of my head.0 -

They aren't selling the armor separately. It comes with the mount and you can't take it off, like the armor on the mastiff (Alliance War Dog) in the crown store.Dissentinel wrote: »Hmm, it does seem greedy to actually model the armor for the mount and then sell it separately when they could have included it.

✭✭✭✭✭Thank you for the heads up, Gina!
And for 2500 Crowns, I now have a hard decision ahead of me.Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.
Meet my characters:Command: Do the thing.
Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.1 -

Gina you're very mean and spoilt my fun today. 2500 is far too accessible as a price and everyone is happy, now where am I meant to post all my trashy gif images?
Seriously though thank you to all of ZOS for this pricing, I really hope we see more like this in future as its being received greatly from the community.@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver

✭@ZOS_GinaBruno Thanks for the heads up. Lovely mount.
As it seems like we will now be having mounts that can/can't be visually changed like this, any chance that this information could be added to the popup description for each mount?0 -

Why does everyone keep complaining that they "docked its tail"? Sabre cats in elder scrolls games have ALWAYS had short tails. Please don't confuse them with senches, because there's a huge difference. And please don't facepalm because you're criticizing them on false pretenses, as it makes you look much more silly.
My complaint is the forced armor/bags/bracers (stam/carrying cap/speed upgrades), not just on the basis that I might want to disable them to match another character (like with all my other mounts), but that any newb who gets this mount will be able to flaunt it, as if they'd played +60 days for upgrades or bought training with crowns. Please change this, the elk, and all other new mounts to the old system, ZOS!!
Edit: I recently found out what "docking" is. Cheerfully withdrawing that silly comment about it.Edited by Burgererer on April 25, 2017 4:44AM4 -

✭✭✭I actually LOVE the gold armor but don't care for sabre cats. if only I could dye the armor on my lion to gold
but I think visual upgrades shouldn't be forced or they should be toggleable.
slightly related on of my character's mount upgrades glitched so even though it's at over 50 speed, it doesn't have the speed visuals, and I actually wanted them on that char's mount. fortunately the armor/stamina visual didn't glitch. another char's mount has the visuals but i'd rather that one have none of themIGN @ emilypumpkin, imperial pumpkin seller
