Barding for Mounts ?

in Ashes Of Creation General Discussion

I noticed that a 'saddle' is available as an early access perk...

Does this mean we'll have barding (cosmetics) for mounts?

Personally, I hope so - maybe not at launch, but later, it would be 1 more thing to work towards.  I killed a bunch of time in LoTRo trying to get the 'elven ambassador' barding...

    We do know there will be cosmetic saddles for mounts, this may carry over to saddle bags as well for mules and your main mount.

    I would also expect to see all manner of crafted items for mounts and mules, horse shoes, barding, harness, saddles, saddle bags, bridles and all could or should provide some sort of slight bonus for your mount/mule. Things like carrying capacity, speed, stamina, dexterity etc why not allow them to be enchanted also.

    I believe it was mentioned that mounts can be attacked and killed(?) during a pvp fight. So I hope there is a way to better protect them outside of breading a tougher mount.
    I always saw attacking ones mount or ride as a d*ck-move shitty move in pvp. I remember in SWG if someone couldn't kill you, they would just rocketlauncher your speeder and blow it up.
    On a side not.. man I hope we only get animal, natural, nature or mythical beast type mounts.. No motorcycles (wow) or Dwarven roflocopters helicopters (WAR)...

    Since Leader of Men level Kickstarter/Summer backers receive 10 sets of mount barding, I think we can confirm, that yes, barding will be in game.

    I'd love barding options. I really enjoyed dressing up my chocobo in ffxiv. I miss Chobi.
