Mounted combat.

I'm really hoping for mounted combat to be allowed.  It's been a dream of mine to have a guild cavalry charge, and I feel like attacking caravans would be perfect targets.

  • If it's done, I hope it's done right visually.  Mounts, historically in these games, look so static during combat when realistically, they'd be thrashing about wildly and sometimes doing things you wouldn't want them to do.  

    Sitting on a horse in combat shouldn't have the same level of excitement as sitting on a bicycle in combat, know what I mean?

    STEVEN: 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.
  • I guess that could be better than nothing.
  • There's such a history of this kind of combat being implemented poorly that I'd settle for it not being in. Although @Ghesh, shout from the rooftops because Steven & co may be listening. I'm just sceptical that it would (a) Look good (b) impact badly on PvP combat of a larger scale.
