Where is the two person mount that was promised?

rrimöykk · November 2020

See title. Any info or was it another empty promise?

How would that even work? One person loses control of their character or retains only the option to jump off?

Last I knew, they were still investigating the issue where it caused the game to ban the passenger, possibly due to thinking there was a speed hack.

When crown store items get pulled, they tend to be held back until marketing can fit them into the schedule again. It can be several months.

So why say they gonna release it with Greymoor when this year long nonsense is already over?

@ZOS_GinaBruno any info on this? Is it coming or not?

Where did they say that, @rrimöykk? Do you have a link?

Many things that are tested on PTS take awhile to make it into the game ... if they make it in at all.

They did announce in a twitch video that it was gonna be released with the new DLC (or even the dungeons one if I'm not mistaken).

I believe they mentioned it on the year end preview announcement show they did in September when they went over the Markarth DLC.

They announced it in Greymoor Twitch stream. Was supposed to come later. Didn't think it would be half a year or more later. We still have no info regarding it.

Just checked. It was Stonethorn stream so four months ago. It was supposed to come with that update.

Stupid idea anyway

And it was pushed back due to problems with it causing players to be banned on PTS.

Yeah, for it to work, they would have to likely restructure the code, that prevents speed hacks to count the mount as not a speed hack.
Which with covid and not being able to go into their offices and servers like they use to maybe more difficult. I do think they will eventually release it. But they will have to make changes to make it work right. Because, it is an issue if you use the mount and suddenly your banned or social banned. Because you are a passanger of the mount.

That is the reason why i expect it won't be around for a while. This mount can wait, while it will be cool to have something like this. Personally, rather they take time to fix the major issue with it. Then risk people losing their accounts over it.

They work fine. World of Warcraft has had 2 and 3 person ground and flying mounts for well over a decade.

Not if you're in a pvp guild. New pvp alts and guildmates are slow and squishy.

2 player mount will probably be released around Christmas time, and ZOS will offer it to us at a seasonal discount on the crown store, "For 1 week only, at the low low price of 24,000 crowns, merry christmas from zenimax"

No its not.. If you are playing pvp in 2 ppl ( which i usually do) its great thing
I cannot wait for this

With this mount i dont need to have stupid Rapid maneuver as magicka build and waste one slot on skillbar

I want the passenger to be able to use a ranged weapon so we can do drive-bys 😄

I'm excited by the idea, in fact, I've often wondered why ESO didn't have two-person mounts. It was a pleasant surprise to learn of one!

I'm looking forward to riding around on it with my fella.

Yes, I guess the anti cheat system triggered on player moving while not having any input.

It might take some time.
Morrowind beta on PTS had tail turfs for Khajiit and tail spikes for Argonians.
Not seen again expect on a few npc like one in Solitude dock and this.
