Looks like we will be able to use mounts in combat

As mentioned in the title. Plus a benefit to Movement (10% speed).

Btw, this is a Rank 4 mount. Our actual mounts are Rank 3. Are they going to add a new mount training IV so we can upgrade our legendary/epic mounts? or only the new mounts are going to be usable in combat?

    I was the one who suggested mounts being used as striker companions. I have contributed enormously to humanity.

    So now different mounts come with different active bonuses?

    There will probably be a mount with a better Equip Bonus than all others. Then every sheep in this game will pick it, resulting in almost everyone having it. AKA no diversity in mounts anymore.

    First it was enchantments (Negation) and now mounts too?

    If the devs are smart, they will do 1 of 2 things:

    1. This mount can be placed into a mount slot, where it will provide no active bonus, and act only as a mount, or it can be placed into a companion slot, where it can only act as a companion.

    2. The mount will require 1 free mount slot and 1 free active companion slot, and will simultaneously occupy both. When you aren't riding the mount, it will function exactly the same as a companion.

    Add one more...

    3. Use in combat : not applicable in PvP combat.

    Is this on PTR? If this is the case thank god I did not by that Belial steed for 20 mil. Also, if devs are smart they would put this as a paid mod instead of a lock box companion, done with that monopoly.

    As long as it cannot be used in pvp, idc. And to be honest, i'd rather see them fix bugs instead of creating new imbalances.

    If this is the case, this would be a good oportunity for them...

    1) Set up some form of test bed on the preview server to make sure something new like this is working properly.God knows we don't need something else gumming up the works ok n the live server.
    2) Blog it up... Let players know what new goodies are coming. Will there be an option to upgrade previous mounts with the new functionality? Also, by generating up hype for the new toys it may promote more positive spending (especially if players have an option to try the new mechanics out on the Preview server).

    I agree with this, the weeks I was on PTR testing Paladin, non of the dungeons worked and none of the Paladin bugs were fixed before release, while I don' t mind the use of this in PvP, please test it to the fullest before putting in the game, as I can see Speedy Gonzales Rogues running around using hit and run tactics.

    Err, I just realized this **** is from a lock box so this thread and everything we type out will fall on deaf ears, and of course it will over powered because they want you to spend that $500-600 real world to get this **** from the lock boxes.

    Well that would really be bad. I hope they at least have the decency to upgrade my unicorn then... Sylph and other purple companions from packs are already not bis anymore, now it's time for the mounts?

    In my opinion they are searshing way to attract more people on the mount interest, ok no problem with new features for mounts, but they should think about what they design as mounts, especially the legendary and may be later the mythic one because there are absolutely no legendary mounts who seems legendary for me atm considering the epic ones avaibale.

    I think most of the players will want a legendary or mythic mount when you see someone on it
    > WOW, impressive.
    I don't think a bulette and a giant chocobo is something people need to feel the legendary-mythic side.

    A mini game with mounts or the possibility to loot some "mount-dye" in dungeons will be also awsome.

    I've always wanted to be able to fight alongside my mounts, so this does have some interest for me. The big determining factor will be how, precisely, it is implemented.

    If this does *not* prohibit having some other companion summoned, and you can now have 2 companions out, then this will unbalance things, IMO.

    If this type of companion is *only* available via a lockbox, then I will most likely pass on it - I do tend to open a token 10 lockboxes when a new one is introduced, but I go into that endeavor not expecting to get anything much, so I don't come away from it disheartened.

    Personally, I think the best implementation would be in the form of a "pack", much like the Hunter Ranger, Scourge Warlock, or Paladin ones; Offer a pack for 3500 Zen which unlocks an account-wide companion-mount, (at least rank 3, less for lower ranks). Also offer single-character ones, which are reasonably priced, given the speed, powers, and other bonuses it offers. I also think having such a companion occupy BOTH an active companion slot and your mount slot, would also be best.

    Free pass to add any one thing to the game... Mounted combat. I feel like the setting and style of the game is pretty well suited for it and I would want to see the crazy powers that some of the mounts were capable of (specifically thinking of Gelatinous Cube).

    Call me cautious but I wouldn't be expecting mounted combat based on the text description. It's not much to go on but reads more like an artifact type effect, i.e. push mount button whilst in combat, get x effect.

    Why not to implement mount mechanics with stamina and variable speed?

    How about different terrain ground resistance on normal roads and swamps?

    Instead receive vanity feature to use by 1% of player base to get some advantage which hard to name "skill".

    It's almost certainly what it is. When you're in combat now, the mount button is greyed out...you'll probably have the option to use it in combat (with some sort of CD) and it just delivers an "artifact like" attack.

    It still has the "Get hit x times in combat..." and get dismounted text.

    Have to agree does look like an effect and not a true mount combat option as would have been said. Looks like a power like an artifact would have.

    Agree. Also the Legendary mounts needed something to set them apart from the Epic mounts. (they're both 110%) I think this 'combat effect' is just that.

    All mounts when upgraded to Legendary will eventually have an attack animation, and thus impetus for us to upgrade our mounts further. ;D Can we buy a legendary upgrade kit from the mount vendor already?

    Use your mount in Combat and Mounted in Combat are 2 different things. Just looks like another artefact. Be done with mount training manuals and just make us refine mounts already.

    This^. Combat mounts, then earring slots: 1 free and 1 you buy and then Death penalty removed with item costing ZEN/AD... sounds way to familiar and smells like paying for power. Wrong way Neverwinter, halt immediately and think again!

    I have to agree.. to much effing junk going on lately, I dont like it at all.

    Its already too late, they spent time, its going to introduced.

    They cant EVEN effing fix half the effing garbage going on they DO not listen to veteren panals on preview.. they DIDNT EVEN bother to PASS through the DC class powers, ONCE for the entire preview time frame, even AFTER repeated request s to fix things.

    I cant , just cant care.. thats why money stays in my pocket.

    My apathy level is at a whole time high atm.

    As well as a 60 sec recharge time, so you're probably right.

    Idk.. this could make PvP a big mess as it would only further increase the difference between a wallet warrior and a normal player. For PvE I can see this happening. But as with anything in this game, I'm opposed to this feature coming exclusively from a lockbox. RNGesus' rule in this game is horrible enough as it is. I wouldn't mind a training manual or mount armor at the WB for it, but I'd prefer something like this to be available for everyone through a quest of some sort on 1 mount per character and perhaps purchasable for how many others people have.


    @ blackwolf:
    It very well might be since it has a higher rank than the mounts we currently have. But since it still has ?? at the movement speed, let's wait for more info before we wet our pants. For all we know, R4 is just the attack feature enabled on the current orange mounts.

    i agree i do hope its just the feature.
