also some tiny mounts like a pig

If I'm forced to ride a "pretty" mount I will rage delete my account!

(so long as it's recoverable)

Well I don't care to have huge mounts that are bigger than a house, but that's already in the game design.  I do want mounts that you can see the area around you and not have most of your view blocked. 

On another note, I would like carriages and wagons as personal mounts but in addition ones that can carry more than one person, but are character operated.

I just hope they stick with their word about flying mounts. I'd hate to see everyone being able to fly around the map. Their idea of flying mounts being extremely limited is awesome as it gives people a goal to hit and rewarded for working hard in the game. I am not looking to play wow where everyone can get everything. 

Totally agree. The idea of having a limited amount of certain items is the best way to differentiate...and, personally, to motivate me to strive for obtaining them.

These butterfly gorillas are gnarly. I can't wait to ride one of those. 

We should make this definition the official in-game mount name.

I like all medieval and fantasy mounts if they make new species of mounts it will be great but something bad ass not like in most MMORPG now like a fortune pig or a cute sheep it's ridiculous to put such things as the best mounts IG ... you don't see big strong dudes with a bad ass human eating mount but you see a ridiculous type of people that put a giraf as a mount... fucking disappointing !

We also need mount attachments like let our mounts pull carriages so we can taxi ppl for money or strongboxes so we're transferring jewelry that people can raid etc. Or just towing a ton of resources in a cart. All of these things can reduce speed relative to the mounts strength.

Can also war mount our stuff with barding, spikes, lances and other mounted combat things. We'll also need monsters that are better to fight with mounts and can fight you when you are mounted.

Customisation

• Only minor request for mounts is that they too have a degree of customization.
• Be that different armor; armor for protection, armor for speed, armor for stealth
• Maybe dye armor, not sure

Animations

• Perhaps a few idle animations to mix it up a bit, and maybe a little attitude during battle ie they can be feared, wounded (run slower/poorly)

One thing I would want to happen is for mounts to have disadvantages too. A riding system like Dragon Age 3 or The Witcher, where horses accelerate and decelerate, turn slower than a person on foot etc. The WOW mount system is a load of crap, with horses doing 360s in mid air and going from full gallop to full reverse in an instant. Let's get realistic

Mounts are fun and everyone likes them. But, I have seen them ruin games. I am all for them I'd rather them just not be a quick "summon". That being said I'd also want them to be required to be fed and have the potential to die and take the same penalties as the player does. Keeping your mount out during xp gain should also steal xp from you for the mounts' own leveling.

No flying mounts unless owning a castle. Water mounts I feel would serve a much more needed purpose than something that is simply "fast".

I want a bull... LOL

@Valentines we know there will be no mounted combat, but there is barding in game.  For sure there is decorative barding but unknown if any barding with stats will be in game.

I would trade mounts for the possibility of purchasing ships and having a journey through the sea. Be the first MMO to unleash massive sea creature raids.

Let me be a rogue pirate!!!!!

@RootedBane I hate to break it to you that this would not be the first MMO to do that; ArcheAge for example.

My bubble... your bursted it 
Well, it would still be a nice addition to the game. Maybe not initial release but a future update to bring an entire new world into the game

Sorry about that.  But one thing we know is there will be ships, trading with ships, and thought not specifically stated, fighting sea monsters. <ta da>

Thank you for the information! Fingers crossed! I forgive you for the bubble bursting, I hope we will be friends on release still

I'll be happy to help you fight a sea monster!

I think mounts should be like pokemon, something you collect and show off.

I like in EQ2 you can do just that in you home.  You can /troggle a mount to be a house item so you can stable the ones you aren't currently using and anyone visiting can see them.

Want no mounts in town, or if so, they must walk at a slow pace only

ArchivedUser

How about using your mount lets down your guard tremendously and makes you far for susceptible to death? Just spit balling so everyone can be happy... if that's possible? LOL

I would like to see archers run faster than mounts. Maybe not tanks or mages but your rogue style classes should

Beelzebufo is actually a mount in Ark: Survival evolved. It's actually pretty fun to use and helpful. Hilarious to hop around with maxed speeds on it too.

If you are using your mount to transfer items from town to town to negate the use of carvans, then your mount should represent that it is carrying a load and also be flaggable 

I want to see the caravan system utilized and if players negate it, I would like to see consequences.. (especially to catch out bot/farmers)
