Just look at how awful mounts trot! If somehow Mount&Blade-like mechanic will be implemented into this game, than sure, but not with such primitive mount's behavior we have now. Damn, the only reason I use mounts in ESO, is because my character have an asthma attack after a few seconds of sprint.

It would be an absolute cluster and cause more problems than we need

I think most of us would prefer Cyro work focus on making it run smoother than horse combat.

But as @ZOS_RichLambert said: "I want all of the things."

And how far has he come with that? lol

I'd have to see it first. But seems like a poor use of Coding time which they don't seem to have much of over there.

I do not want mounted combat as such.

Perhaps some 1v1 jousting for fun, but that's it.

Allow the people to bet their hard earned alliance points on the winner.

No. Two servers with players all over the place.

Many players are already latent enough.

Thanks for the suggestion, @Vanthras79! We think mounted combat sounds like a great idea. There's just something really exciting about the idea of 2 groups of players clashing on horseback, or wolfback, or tigerback that's really exciting.

While we can't promise mounted combat will make it into the game, we truly appreciate your ideas and feedback, please don't hesitate to share any others you may have in the future.

Aww thanks!

I don't really want mounted combat, but I would like to see collision knockback be a thing if you crash into a group while you're mounted. Sort of like a battering ram to smash through a breach, riding full speed. For one thing, it would make anti-cavalry caltrops pretty useful.

Your hope springs eternal...mine ran out, might as well add stuff.

I would like to see mounted combatin ESO though I think the game should get a no lag status first

YES. But only if it could be made to work. I wanted mounted combat when the game came out. You could have a skill bar for when you are mounted. Trample damage...this would be nice. How the dynamics would play out - not sure.
Again...this would be very cool if it worked.

However...even if there is no mounted 'combat' - a riding skill line would be nice - and having a separate skill tree for being mounted. Then I wouldn't have to mess around with slotting rapid maneuvers on my un-mounted buttons.

You could have a skill line for riding similar to the pvp skill line, or the undaunted - whatever. 5 skills and passives..perhaps some ultimate.

PLUS i think we should be able to mount during combat in both pve and pvp. If I want to mount and try to get away...why not? I take the chance of being knocked off my horse...which is never a good thing. Let me decide to take that risk. If i can mount, hit rapid maneuvers, and run away or move to another area to fight...i should be able to do so.

When considering this type of combat... you have to think about two types of combat. Mount vs. mount combat, and mount vs. player combat, and player vs. mount combat.

Imagine busting the ball zerg by trampling them to death. lol. that would solve the problem.
Gearing a horse with armor, head/torso/saddle, horse shoes. Perhaps how u build the horse would determine if it was tanky or a get away ride.

I am all for it. PVP is stale with ball zergs and gankers. nobody else really gets to play any other way and have much fun because you end up getting zerged by 50ppl, run into the elite ball zerg that cleanses everything, or gankers.

However, if you are going to have mounted combat...you need to add another weapon line...spear/halberd so footsoldiers could better defend against trample dmg.
