General New Mounts

I personally think another type of mount would be quite cool! I know many people probably wont like this idea for reason that I can't think of right now. But I think it would add a little a diversity into the game.

I know many people just run around and not use mounts. But adding a new mount or two would make more incentive to ride mounts.

I dont have any ideas for some mounts, but maybe getting the next mount would be based on doing a quest. (like getting the horse) and once you get it then you can buy them. Like at at level 80 there could be a new mount, or maybe at level 110 there could be a new mount.

The new mounts could also have some of their own skills, I'll say one idea for one but it's pretty bad.

A New Mount idea could be a giant tortoise, (just using it as a example). and it could have a skill called, "stomp" which would make mobs take damage in a 5 block radius, but because the mount has this skill it is very slow because it is a tortoise. This would balance the fact that it can do damage. and like the horse, you also cant use weapons/inv on it.

Of course, that idea is bad, but I was just using it as a example.

I know that there are probably some bad things about this idea but idk, so please reply if you can name something bad about this idea. thanks! (also im a new player im only level 68 so i dont know much)

Edit: mabye the mount doing damage isnt that great of an idea, but you get what I mean with this idea, Just thought it would be cool with some new mounts!

 

Good idea, but:
1) Propably hard to code
2) They should be only for transport

Add a poll

 

The problem with this is that weapons are much better at dealing damage and mounts are only
useful for getting around. I guess that having a mount that slows stuff around it would be chad, but then there wouldn’t be that much riding, only just getting on the mount, using the ability then getting off the mount to actually deal the damage

 

Theres been talk of riding kantars (those odd looking things in Lutho) and they'd be as fast a maxed chestnut, but also have a pouch for carrying items. The problem with mounts dealing damage, as stated above, is that either the mount does too little damage, or too much (based on level). For instance, if I were to 'groundslam' on the emerald trail with a lvl 90+ mob, it would most likely one shot most of the mobs there, while over in lvl 90+ areas, it would be useless unless you wanna smack those parrots in sky islands. The damage balancing is sorta awkward, but then again, so is the damage balancing with weapons.

 

I guess the damage could just be the damage of the weapon your hiding run through a boring calculation
