Land, Sea, Air: Diary of Mount Combinations

ArchivedUser

Hello everyone and welcome to the Land, Sea, Air mount discussion.  I would first like to start by saying please read through the small list of ideas I have provided.  I know class combinations have not been included but, I have thought about it.  I've really considered what class combo mounts would look like.  Frankly this would take me many weeks to thoroughly flush out some great list of combos.

Also, I have no idea what the zone styles or animals look like. So I would love to get everyone who is interested in mounts to participate.  My hope/ goal for us as a community would be to create the most beautiful assortment of animals, creatures, and tinkered mount styles in the game.  So please let your creative genius's loose and plop down your thoughts on this.

Enjoy everyone!

Ashes of creation mount designs: Consist of variations of these animal types such as, (Dromedaries, Pegasi, Mammoths, sharks, whales, dirty flying carpet, dusty flying rug, shiny, flying carpet. Also consisting of race/class specific mounts. By mounts I mean land, sea, air. I would also like to include the group mount in a region specific style mount.

Aela Human Mounts: Horses, Camels, Deer-ram, Eagles, Griffons, Elephant, Lions, Dolphins: Sea creatures. Very rare to find engineered contraptions.

Kaelar: Horses, Eagles, Griffons, Deer-ram. Grassy, warm, wet, forested, rivers, lakes, other sea creatures

Vaelune: Camels, War Elephant, Lions, Shark, Whales, Lizard Dragon mount hardened sea creatures. Other dry, hot arid, spiky climate animals for land, sea, and air.

Pyrian Elves: Doe, Deer, Velvet lined carriages, All forms of riding mount has filigree inlaid gems, jewels, or some shiny design. Slightly different variations of overlap animals. Deer, Birds(Falcon), Flying regal carpet, royal carpets, Smaller creatures from forested or native animal. No engineered contraptions.

Empyrean: Doe, Velvet, regal, jeweled creatures native to woodland or area of homeland. Falcon, Giant graceful sea beasts, Squid, Dolphin, Moose/Elk,

Py’Rai: Light brown bears, Large moose/elk, Kite like glider/ flier, Any type of wooded animal.

Kaivek Orcs: Battle hardened animals, almost warlike bears, rams, wolves, rhinos,

Ren’Kai: battle hardened animals, sea beasts like sharks, whales, squids, Bears, rams, wolves, rhinos, worn leather or fur creatures, tough skinned. Buzzards,

Vek: Similar animals but complete opposite to Ren’kai. Excluding buzzards, sharks, whales. Include more tinkering style intellectual pieces. Animals that look like smarter inventions. Some ancient engineered flying machines and gliders. Definitely focused more on some intellectually smart animals.

Dunzenkell Dwarves: Strong, tough, hard, tinkered built, mechanical creatures, mounts, flying machines. Giant rams, Mountain goats, lions, and hippo’s, whales, big hard animals. Eagles included again, boats, possible steam style ships/crafts or flying machines.

Dunir: rams, goats, lions, hippos, eagles, group train transits, Tamed wild animals, red fur bears, bolgs, and other beasts.

Nikua: Tinker style machines, rams, goats, lions, hippos, eagles, flying machines, group train transits, or submarine, steam style craft. Tamed wild animals, red fur bears, bolgs, and other beasts.

I would love to include some feedback from the community that some animal overlap should happen as far as mounts.  Since zones touch and areas just like in real life, some animals will be similar but different depending on zone type, style, color, and other features.  Some mounts won't even be available to certain, races, classes because, of variability of zone, climate, technology, history.  I am certain there has been something I've forgotten to include and talk about.  Just ask and I will try to get back you all on what I've thought of. 

I really need to think about some really amazing deep sea faring creatures.  Some that are in the depths that would really be cool to ride.  Please add your ideas. 

Let the madness commence.

I would prefer not seeing mechanical beast, but if they have them I won't complain and I like they way you presented them.

No flying mounts outside of special mounts given to castle and metropolis leaders. That said, I like the flying mounts you presented based on what little I know of races.

Everything else looks good imo, I might think on this and comeback with some ideas

I wonder if this could be a thing?

Turtles, Omg.  How could I have forgotten turtle mounts.  That would be amazing..

The KS water mount rendering appeared to be a large turtle looking creature.

Nice selection of creatures ^^


There will be a huge variety of mounts which is pretty exciting! 

Remember group mounts were unlocked via the KS campaign!

I just hope a frog mount is included

I agree, I even thought that racial mounts are definitely have to be a thing.

I don't think I want to see mechanical mounts, this opens up a new theme of items and locations, I dont mind some 'Ancient Civilisation' magical/mechanical mounts but if they actually gave one of the races this mechanical theme then things like airships would need to be present and the devs already said that there will be scant amounts of fast travel.

I need this in the game.
