On Horse Combat
Not sure if this was made yet, but has anyone seen anything on actually being able to attack while on a horse?

People in Wednesday's twitch chat were saying that the devs have said we can't attack from our mounts.
I haven't seen an actual dev quote that confirms that.
Mounts dont really die, they just disappear when u get attacked.
Same reason why people buy cars.
I suppose there's a visual element for mounted attacks in large scale combat.
But, horses are not going to add much to a siege.
Kings/Queens/Mayors will have dragons which may come with breath weapons and other abilities that will likely be highly effective during a siege. It's possible that there will be mounts with combat abilities that would be effective during a siege - but the devs haven't mentioned mounts with combat abilities, AFAIK.
I'd bet that is still under debate among the devs.

The place I saw for horses in siege were to either give faster access inside the city and to help thin out the ground forces outside the walls. Against dragons, horses have no chance lol this I know. But like Uao mentioned, they might have certain skills when on the horse that would do well in that certain situation.
It would be cool even if there was just a gap closing charge with dismount to initiate combat or to retaliate when attacked.
As ambitious as Intrepid seems, there maybe some mounts or some skills or both that allow for some attacks while mounted in some circumstances. I am speculating from memory of things said in twitches.
Would love more concrete info.
STEVEN: Mounts could be, yes, killed by other players. There will be some mount specific abilities that will be had by particular mounts and those abilities could pertain to some combat scenarios, but specifically if you're asking, "Can I use my Ranger abilities while atop a mount?" No. We're not going to be doing that. You won't be able to participate with your class skills while mounted.It's going to be limited to what the mount specifically is capable of doing.
