    Seeing one or two time to time makes me smile but it will be bad if whole game starts sounding like pig farm all the time.

    Love it. This will be awesome.

    Almost as awesome as crafting many, many pairs of pants.

    "Afterwards, you might want to head on over to Brendon Canter in Protector’s Enclave, as Lord Neverember has decreed that he should make his Mounts available for any Adventurer to use."
    The pronoun ambiguity had me briefly hoping that Brendon Canter would be selling Neverember's mounts, which I assume would be fancy. Then I remembered that on preview Brendon Canter still has the same old selection of mounts. "His Mounts" means Brendon's common horses.

    Epic speed is still 110%. 120% was a tooltip typo.

    Mountssssss ;) can't wait to play around with the insignia bonuses, hope to create a poor man's army from insignia and green/blue horses
    Please fix Zhentarim Warlock companion's skill "Arcane Warping" to the originally intended "Arcane Boost"

    I can't be the only person who noticed in this screenshot that the uppermost bag is not an Adventurer's Satchel.

    Dev magic?

    So I'm still confused about something, will my mounts still be taking up bag/bank/alt space or will they now be stored in a magical never ending 'bag'?

    D'oh, you're right. I couldn't see the scrollbar at first.

    MAGIC (if they're bound, you put them into a magical bag that is not really a bag; mounts that aren't bound are normal inventory)

    Prepare to wear the [Glorious Condom of HAMSTER] for the upcoming HAMSTER reaming inbound. I'd be surprise if they give you something for upgrading those green mounts.

    Two problems with this system. Firstly lame 2-4k stats bonuses... Common we don't need more power creep. Not to mention that 4k to recovery for example is overkill. But I guess its too late since not like they can remover 4k arp/movement from axe/strider without epic players rage. Secondly to unlock any bonus/incombat power, heck even 140% speed y will need a bound mout with this bonus. And all those unlocks aren't accountwide. Seriously playing with all the evailable classes is one of main ways not to die of boredom with so little to do for an edgame but with each mod they make it more & more pusnishing. Unless they add a leg mounts to zens tore or epic > leg updates somehow which I dont see so far =(

    The swarm of pigs will be only the first week. People wants to be different will change once they realiced that everyone has the same mount appearance IMHO

    Any news on whether the mount stats and insigina bonuses stack?

    You choose one mount stat to slot.

    You equip insignias on up to five mounts in the stable (which is up to five bonuses, contingent on obtaining the proper combination of insignia). The bonuses stack, but "not much" if you have multiple of the same set equipped (clarification was provided by Strum, somewhere....).

    Yes, it all involves fairly major power creep.

    You also can't equip more than one of a mount, so not that easy to get insignia bonuses all the same.

    Yes, the heal procs in PvP will probably be nuts anyway.

    Well, serves you right. Upgrading mounts was HANDS DOWN the most obvious and ill-advised waste of Astral Diamonds in this entire game. The ability to purchase a higher quality mount in the AH was far cheaper than upgrading, similar to how it has been FAR cheaper to buy a purple companion in the AH instead of upgrading it from green.

    Simply put, you should have known better.
