The riding animations are meh. Look at red redemption 2. Make riding feel like red redemption 2. Give more weight to riding, more power.

    Red Dead Redemption could focus on horse animations, because the horses were a major part of the game. AoC has tons of other mounts and the developers cant just focus on animating all of them to the degree red did it for their horses.

    I vastly preferred the Dawnbreaker as portrayed in RDR2.

    I’m assuming from the OP that the games have the same mounts.

    Unless my horse gonads vary in size according to weather, I think we should delay release of the MMO for 50 years so that they can clearly give this game the polish it deserves.

    My single biggest dream is to have an mmo with animations as good as single player games. Unfortunately it will likely never happen. Not that i'm trying to invalidate the OP's suggestion, but given that it's an mmo, i'm pretty happy with the horse movements as is atm
    Where there is light, there is shadow. I am the shadow without the light. The shadow of nothingness. The VoidShadow

    Exactly: They at least do their best and try for some realistic movements xD

    As for make the horse fatter it was stated that the horse we have seen so far is the race horse type so leaner. They did say there would be variation from small ponies right up to large heavy war horses and draft horses. It was hinted at that these variants could be unlocked through animal husbandry.

    It absolutely is. Plus a pair of rockets, a dinosaur, and a zombie shredding a bone-axe guitar.

    Here’s an artist rendering (not an in-game screenshot):
    Epicus_Maximus_mousepad_art.jpg

    The shark’s name is Epicus Maximus and the zombie (technically he’s a Forsaken) is named ROCK ON. (Name always rendered in all-caps.) The dinosaur is not named but is a “devilsaur” species.

    By the way, Epicus Maximus was created by Blizzard in response to this forum thread where players complained that the Maelstrom wasn’t “epic enough”. The game’s Lead World Designer snarkily replied, “I guess it is missing sharks with laser beams patrolling the waters and Arthur Fonzarelli jumping across it with water skis. And dinosaurs.”

    The dead do not squabble as this land’s rulers do. The dead have no desires, petty jealousies or ambitions. A world of the dead is a world at peace
