So I gather putting a horse made of ice between your legs and expecting to...well LIVE is equally illogical, right? Or how about riding a lion or a giant wolf without being eaten alive?
This is a world where magic exists. A stick enchanted to make one run faster is the very least you could expect in it.
A magical mount? No, why would that be weird. But this is not that, it's literally a stick. You are running, not the mount.
And you have ways to make your feet move faster than average with magic.
Edit: Also, nothing on the crowns? Obviously a real mount isn't going to be 900 crowns. This would be more like 3500-5000 if it were a real mount.Edited by xaraan on March 21, 2019 6:39PM-- @xaraan --

A magical mount? No, works for me. But literally a stick? Nah, too much. You are running, not the mount.
And you have ways to make your feet move faster than average with magic.
Edit: Also, nothing on the crowns? Obviously a real mount isn't going to be 900 crowns. This would be more like 3500-5000 if it were a real mount.
Exactly, you have ways to make your feet move faster than average with magic. So why shouldn't you be able to do the same with a stick mount? There's no reason why this mount shouldn't be a real mount.
You can buy the white mane horse in the crown shop for 900 crowns, which is a real fully functioning mount. So that argument is moot.PC l NA

✭I'm sad it isn't based on your mount speed
so what? its just a video game and people want some fun. you can drink a potion during combat to run faster, you can cast a spell to run faster, you can use a magic broom to run faster. their decision to limit speed is an epic fail as for me.A magical mount? No, works for me. But literally a stick? Nah, too much. You are running, not the mount.

JadonSky✭✭✭✭✭I'd be happy with it if all of them wasn't so pricyIf it used your mount speed like a regular mount then it would be worth crowns. But with how it operates now it should of just been an achievable item and its not worth the amount of crowns they are selling it for. But hey to each their own.1 -

No it consumes mount stam, but it will be your character speed, not riding speed. Your character will also not really 'ride' the mount and instead just hold it over their shoulder while the run normally.Hoping for more playable races1 -

✭✭OtherIf the flame mounts can leave smouldering footprints, and the frost mounts can do the ice equivalent, then why don't the stick mounts leave a trail of spent matches?
Not good enough!3 -

While running faster then normally. Sprint, rapid maneuver and so on. If you have this animation while running, maybe you have some buff to speed.

✭I'm happy with itSorry, should've voted "I'd be happy with it if all of them wasn't so pricy" because I think they are amazing but more like an emote or memento for some silly moments, so it should be cheaper than 900 crowns. More like 350.4 -
I'd be happy with it if all of them wasn't so pricyAt least now its a lot easier to not spend the crowns or the gems!
Disappointed all around. If they aren't going to work like mounts they shouldn't be priced like mounts - period.
Course the fact that players STILL will buy this means - no lesson will be learned.
But does mean I save my money!3 -

✭✭✭I'm happy with itI am fine with them going at the speeds someone on foot can, but going full mount speed would be silly.
Indeed. If they would get the same speed as a "normal" mount and everybody would use them the game would become a silly version of TES.
I think they are still overpriced though.
And for people who bought them hoping it would have the same speed as all mount.... really? You actually expected that?٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶

Mounts are more usefull. You can use it as mount for both long and short time, both staying in place and moving (much more than with mementos and emotes!), and also you can use it for decorating house, as any mounts (and that's very nice and quite unique item).PC EU, @Enemoriana. Ru.

✭I'm sad it isn't based on your mount speedI was completely under the impression it was a mount.
It’s called a mount.
They called it a mount.
They.
Called.
It.
A.
Mount.
I was wondering if it was going to be animated as a floating stick where the character stood then floated during movement in a way similar to the sep adder and the tiny bone dragon pets... Or if it would be animated as the character galloping along at a totally ludicrous speed:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ygE01sOhzz0
Either of those would have been cool.
Now I hear it’s nothing more than character sprint speed. They could have had a small pouch appear for capacity, a wheel appear at the bottom for speed, and a wood cross piece tied where the character could sit/lean while stopped for stamina and let it be a full mount. But no.
Super-ludicrous letdown.Xbox NA2
