Suggestion: Hide Mount lights and/or effects

NeoniKa · February 1

It would be amazing if we have an option to disable all mounts lights and effects. Not only from other players but from our own mounts. It would probably increase the crown sales.

For example, I really like the new All-Maker's mount but I don't want any because of the summon animation. And this isn't even the worst case, I've seen some from other players way noisier and with really crazy light effects that luckily this one doesn't have.

My idea is something like we have to hide Stamina, Speed and Capacity Upgrades, but to hide lights and/or effects. It would be amazing!

I hope you consider it. Thanks.

yea i hope get that too.

the Storm Atronach mounts and the Harrowstorm bear effects hurt my head.

Spellscar Quasigriff too

Ya, I have to say I am not really detered by flashy things when appropriate. I love my arcanist, but some of these mounts are way overboard.

I'd rather have a nice looking horse with bags and bits hanging from it. Frankly the Pack Donkey scaled to riding size would be a cooler mount than some flash blue fire lion (which imo is lame).

all too often I see art directors pushing for the flashy stuff, but in reality people like the realistic but detailed/greebled costumes/mounts/houses.

Sometimes less is more, ESP in this game.

Wait where is this option??!

edit; I'm asking because some of the gear added after maxed out ruined the "look" for me. Specifically some of the mounts with horns on the helmets. Boyant Armiger and Ragebound first came to mind. I ALWAYS CHECK the max stat versions for this reason.

Also, I support this because when you're riding the effects repeat even though their character is on the edge of your view distance, and as they pop in and out of the view distance--the "start" effect happens over and over and over... (Because they're slow or I am taking the more efficient riding route)

Like @LunaFlora said, it's in gameplay settings:

I also have "Limit Followers in Towns" activated, that would be something amazing, but unfortunately that doesn't work at all. You'll still see pets everywhere with that option activated, it doesn't even disable your own pets.

It's totally bugged. But maybe one day it gets fixed.
