    Annoying grind. Why don't they let us all types of berries, so we can actually chose which Indrik evolution we want? I prefer my camel and my imperial horse anyway.

    I love them. Wanted to ride one since seeing them wild in Summerset, and glad now that I can do just that.

    I like them as a design, I just don't really care for them as mounts. My Bosmer ranger already got her great elk. I'm not gonna need any more antlered mounts anytime soon. ;)

    (But of course I'm collecting them, just in case... )

    I'm not a huge fan of them tbh. But they have their merits.

    -Unique mounts not available in the Crown Store (yet). One has to work for them which gives players a sense of having earned them instead of just pulling the credit card out.

    -Plenty of variations to please everyone. White. Black. Yellow. Green. Basic bland. There could even be more colors added in later years. Keep that hamster wheel turning under our feet.

    -We have a choice. Don't want them? Don't get them. Want one or two or all? You can, if you put time towards that objective.

    What I don't like about them:

    -Weird noise. I mean. I have never used mine. Never. But I couldn't believe that woof-woof-woof!!! noise they keep making when someone posted a video around. It feels so awkward. And so facepalm-worthy when heard in the actual game. At least to me.

    -The fantasy design is just not my cup of tea. I mean it's different and unique. But the random feathers jutting out of the body don't seem to blend in with the creature itself. Like some sort of decorative skirt added to the mesh instead of being a flowing part of it. They kind of look like those droopy dangly bits you find on giant mushrooms. Not sure how to explain it. They just don't look 'natural'.

    -The concept of a magical creature is cool, but they don't strike me as living creatures as much as dolls. I mean, those deadpan wide-open-eye faces on them just scream 'I'm standing here because I have no choice. Yay. Look at me, magical horse thing. Woo. Very feathered, such uniqueness.' Although to be fair, so do the horses! They all look very derpy :tongue:

    -Even though there are different forms, they aren't actually that different. Different colors are just that; different texture files applied. The black one for instance, might seem like a dark and badass mount for a dark/evil character but.... it doesn't. It just looks like the same old feathered creature that simply happens to be black, it doesn't transmit any 'mood'. Painting a My Little Pony character black doesn't make it evil/dark/badass. It just makes them a different color (or lack thereof).


    Am I gonna collect them all? Yes. Am I going to use them? Very unlikely.

    I've liked the way they look ever since they were first data-mined (especially the dawnwood one), I think they're an interesting fantasy twist on a real animal. The fact that we can earn them in-game was actually a nice surprise to me since I was willing to pay for them but worried they'd be even more expensive than the elk mount, or only available through crown crates (especially once a set of 5 were datamined - enough to be apex mounts). It does take a long time, but that doesn't bother me, I'm not in any rush.

    I was surprised to find people didn't understand the noise they make, but I guess a lot of people don't know what deer sound like and assume they sound like horses because they're roughly the same shape.

    The fact that they're at the wrong angle on any kind of slope is annoying, but not enough to put me off using them. Just a shame ZOS have a strict policy of never fixing things like that if they make it into the game so there's no chance the mistake will be corrected.

    That's good news!

    I'm sure I heard that ZOS implemented a policy of never fixing art bugs, because they did it once and some people said they preferred the original version, so they decided it was better to never change anything once it made it into the game. But I'm glad they're willing to make an exception.

    I agree.... it's their only problem in my opinion, but if it will be corrected, I go back to the hunt for event tickets ahahah

    Yes I like Indriks. For one because their one of the few mounts in the game you can earn. Also very nice models and evolutions.

    However, if you want one of each color, one of each evolution. That requires a lot of tickets, which makes it less fun. What if you want one of each? One of all evolutions and the default, so 5 of them. That is a lot of tickets to farm which will quickly become tiresome. That is my only negative view on the Indrik acquisition.

    But it's a beautiful model, and I hope we get to see more mounts in the future that we can earn. :smile:

    Flipping a flag at a resource in Cyrodiil and someone mounts one those things with the sound and animation of it always makes me think it's a nightblade jumping in to bomb the group and I always roll dodge or run.

    I like them.

    They're a little bit unique.

    A little bit fancy, but not too fancy.

    A little bit glowey, but not too glowey.

    Not sure I'll end up riding them much though. I think they most suit bosmer and altmer and for my tastes their racials took a sucker punch to the gut. So I'm presently leaning towards maining a different race. Other mounts in my stable suit them better.

    Getting caught in eleventy trillion of their explodey summoning noises at the wayshrine during New Life made me detest them. That noise hurts through headphones if you're right in the middle of it.

    Prefer their look to all the flamey/explodey/frosty/shocky/poisony/dead mounts that are way over the top for my tastes.

    I don't need or want a fireworks display every time I summon a mount.

    I like their implementation. Aesthetically, I'm indifferent. I really like the fact that they are fairly unique mounts that are earned purely through in game participation and I think Zos should have more mounts earned the same way.

    They fixed art bugs before I think ... if they were real bugs. But they are not going to change art assets because of ... well, you said it :).
    Anyway, the fix for the Indrik was announced in the 4.3.0 patch notes (I read up on it) and thus it should be on the PTS. Though I don't know it the slopey walk was actually fixed because I don't have enough disk space for the PTS...

    Use it on my Altmer as its fitting.
    Down the line some should make an addon who randomized who morph you use if you had one as mount :)
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    I am meh about them as they look too much like the terrible ESO horses. I wish we could store more than 12 tickets so I could save them for other things.
