Should there be a difference between mounts

Antonio_Banderas

Hey folks

This is going to be about the mounts for this huge game

Difference in SPEED between mounts gives a boost to the realisme in the game

I noticed from other mmos like bless unleashed the mounts were slow...

And that for me was a pain in the ass because i love the thrill of going fast

The cool thing in Bless was they could jump from high places

Lets say a mount based on a cheetah versus a mount based on a rhino should not be equal in speed/jumping but also not equal in stamina/health

The rhino based mount should be slower but (harder to defeat) versus the cheetah

A sabertooth tiger for example has the best of both sides which allows breeding to become a lot more interesting

The players can decide what suits their playing style the best

Let me know what y'all opinions are

Good luck to everyone

Animal Husbandry should be creating mounts with a variety of different traits - differences in Speed being one trait. Yes.
There will also be combat mounts that can be bred with different combat abilities.

I love how you gave the example of Bless Unleashed, that game was dogshit, yikes.

Ironically enough, the only example I have of mounts with different movement speed is from Bless Online, another epic failure of a game, but mounts in that game were cool, you had to tame and all that.

I can't wait to see different cool mounts in Ashes and I'm sure you'll need to have a variety of mounts for different applications. Although I hope that you can't ever lose a mount (except for flying mounts): once you got a crazy good mount, it's yours and usable forever, no matter what.
