Pocketing your horse ?

Abydos · 20th April 2008, 05:29

Should your horse be able to be "pocketed" into your backpack?

Do you agree that mounts should be pocketable or not?

OMGPIE · 20th April 2008, 05:48

Yes in the sense that there should be some item that summons them like a whistle or something not the actual mount itself.

Shurt · 20th April 2008, 06:31

Well, if you dont "Pocket" them, you will be looking at mass areas filled with horses in town. So, i suggest a system where you can "drop" it off with a NPC near the main gate and pick it up when you return...or leave it in your house

2l337f0ry0u · 20th April 2008, 06:39

you should hace to cast a spell-type thing that Shrinks the horse into pack size

Sorjak · 20th April 2008, 06:49

No pocket ponies.

The only thing that would make sense is a stable system, but outside the walls of a town, the horses are there for good.

Do you mean a stable ??
Like in Assassins Creed there were always a stable outside a city gate .

Yea, but instead of seeing 1000's of horses in the stable, the item is given to an NPC.

Ravenwoods · 20th April 2008, 15:29

No! I missed the days when your horse was a living entity!!!

UOPro · 20th April 2008, 15:30

hell no! all mounts should be living creatures that can be killed...

Probotektor · 20th April 2008, 15:37

I like the realistic approach...

The mount should be a fully capable mob. So, if I decide to chop off it´s head it should die. And I must insist, that afterwards I can cook it. ^^
If I get off my horse I have to tie it to a tree so it doesn´t go wandering off.
When I come to town, I´d like the idea with stables within the city.
(Imagine what kind of uproar you could cause raiding the stables of one town and stealing all their mounts.^^)

Yes, this was possible in the days of Ultima Online

The year is 2008 and the MMORPG genre has ballooned to enormous preportions. With millions of people playing, it is not feasible for each and every person to retain a horse or mount that cannot be shrunk and put in their pack. Another case of, "sounds good, lets do it" but, cannot be implemented.

My 2 cents

G.I. Joe · 20th April 2008, 15:41

The mounts are killable if u read intro.

Anyways......I think pocket will improve game play! reason is if i have to go into a cave or pick something up I am gonna have to leave my mount. And of course it will be stolen or killed everytime you leave it. If i am pked with it...then oh well, they got a horse along with my other belongings. That's life!

Dani · 20th April 2008, 15:50

Ya, putting a horse in your pocket is very realistic...

I like extra BBQ Sauce on my steak. And make it T-Bone!

Back on topic. I don't want horses to be items, but living things you must take care of. And making it possible to ride in battle would be cool.

Pluro · 20th April 2008, 16:06

I don't think you should be able to... its just to wowish unreal like.

Dont worry...there will be some type of bone in there for you! You will be able to ride mount in battle and thats a cool thing...but to stay on topic Dani - If i am out in middle of no-where and i want to climb a mountain, go cave dwelling or whatever what do i have to do???? Take my horse 2 hrs back to a castle, put him in stall then walk/run back 4 hrs to same Mtn or cave???? Now that just seems stupid to me! It would make MO like lord of the rings from clerks 2 "The whole movie was about walking...Hell even the f*&%ing trees walked"
