My vote: if it's not an easy fix, remove mount stam entirely. Bluetails should be low hp and faster (as they are), Regular mounts should be medium hp (300 or 400) and medium speed, Battlehorns should be high hp and slightly slower than regular mounts. I think we've all learned that balancing can be a nightmare. While giving each racial mount different abilities, strengths/weaknesses would be cool, I don't know if the development time, as well as the time testing and balancing those mounts would be worth the effort. Just my 2 cents.
normal mounts : 300 hp normal speed bluetail : 150 hp 10% movement speed increase Battlehorn: 600 hp -10% speed 5% melee attack on mount increase i came up whit this on the first page, i agree 100% whit u, trash that stam bar )
Mount stamina is tedious and not fun Even if the bug (which everyone uses and you basically need to use to live) is fixed its still a boring system that only gets in the way
I'm thinking along the lines of differences that are not all directly combat related. Racials base speed w/ carrying capacity (old style w/carry) Bluetails increased speed, lower health, no carrying capacity (old style) Battlehorns base speed w/ increased health (old style) Then we can look at creating custom mounts and skins. Maybe throw in some other utility types. The biggest thing is speed, health, and defense when it comes to combat IMO, so as long as those things are 'balanced' the other additions can be tweaked quite a bit. The main concern with carrying capacity is putting some restrictions in place for any potential abuse.
Sorry my G, didn't mean to step on your toes. I'm browsing this at work so I probably missed a few posts lol Fair. As long as they aren't combat related, maybe the balancing won't be too difficult. Custom mounts/custom skins would be dope. As far as potential abuse... we just need more people to step up with /GM_reports when they find abuse-able stuff.
Ah never played that game so fair enough if it sucked. Though I heard mounts moved faster on roads, how was that?
Ever play Archeage? I like their method better. They have posts/signs setup every x meters and you activate it to get a short temporary speed boost. They last long enough to reach the next post and worth using. It's less prone to being buggy.
I personally think we have plenty of fast travel it’s just my opinion. And ya this could work but I feel we have a lot bigger fish to fry.. Stam bug I not sure how to chime in on this so I haven’t..sorry.
Worst idea of entire thread Did you even play Unholy Wars when they had this? It makes anyone getting chased by 2 or more other players on mounts 100% fucked Think about it your running and a guy hops off his mount tags yours even once and his friend will catch up and ride you down Its like mount leapfrogging but ×100 easier and more effective It literally made me quit playing UW in Q2 2015 because I couldn't do any pvp by myself or duo without just donating bags if you saw a group you were 100% dead if ur mount got hit even once Most pro zerg mechanic ever
Fix stamina and add mounts inventory ...50kg for blutail...150kg racial mounts...250 battlehorn....any progect for new mounts ?

I'm not a huge fan of mount sprinting and don't really see how it changes much. Apart from bluetails being slightly better at medium distance until they run out stamina but that's meh and the speed difference isn't big enough that I care too much if I have stamina or not. I would rather see mounts be a bit faster but potentially with less health. If someone is at a good distance on a mount with full health they shouldn't ever get run down by a group hopping at them. That's just my opinion though. I would like to see some diversity in mounts but it's very difficult since speed is always king. When both people are mounted then speed is the only thing that matters. The only time speed isn't as important is in mounted combat/mounted charge. I don't think the mounts are a big deal in the grand scheme of things but short term would like to see stamina removed, mount speed slightly buffed and maybe have to buff bluetail speed above others otherwise it's got no point.
I like the concept, and would want to have the other races mounts learned maybe through found recipes or something.
I'm a fan of the old ways of DFO1. Back in the days tho you couldn't bhop and stuff.. If you run up On someone farming and they spawn their mount you have a very small window to down that mount before you will lose it. Now see i thought this was fair cause once that mount is out of range you most likely will not catch that farmer. Which as a ganker it's only fair to the player im jumping to have a chance. Now people mount up when getting jumped and people just bhop them down. Honestly mounts are not to big of a problem...I think bhopping is where the problem is..ANYTHING you do to mounts killrain will just end up with people bhopping them down still. Why?
This is the problem with darkfall, someone who knows shit all about bad mechanics and their affects on PvP voicing their dumbass opinions. 90% of the population doesn't leave their holding without Tom dick an Andy holding their pussy, thats the problem with this game.
