Mount equip is back!

[doodle90]

They lowered the level required for mount equipment from 40 to 10!!! Rejoice!

[MrKnubbles]

Ok but did they add any new mount equipment?

im struggling to come up with something we need that we dont have already, thoughts?

herbing while mounted, cause the shredders still have that built in.

[Queen of Hamsters]

Ooh, wasn't aware! Anti-dazing, here I come! Especially awesome considering we're not able to fly until 40!

Mining and/or herbing while mounted, underwater breathing, or swim speed boost, or even something that lets you stay mounted the first few seconds of combat.

I will give you the mining thing, yeah they need to address that, and you have potions for water-breathing but as far as the others, they have mounts you can get that are exclusively designed to do those things. Making equipment that replicates those things negates the very long hours players put into getting those mounts, and IMHO think they should never do that, hell i hate the whole mount equipment move in the first place, the water strider incident was enough. Being able to "buy" those features is really lame to me.

Gathering while mounted would be a great mount equipment.

Gathering while mounted would be a great mount equipment.

I'd go one step further and allow 'interacting with objects while mounted'. That would even the playing field against druids (yeah, I'm salty about having to waste time killing mobs only for some asshole druid to decide to steal the objective I was trying to grab).

It used to be a milestone. Why stop at 10? Everything for everyone at level 1!

[Eurhetemec]

It's at 10 because thats when you can get a mount.

When was it a "milestone"?

[Delekii]

It used to be a milestone. Why stop at 10? Everything for everyone at level 1!

It used to be useless. Why stop at 40? Everything for everyone at level 50!

See how stupid it sounds?

[Djuntas]

Very nice, did not even loose mount items I had equipped on my prepared alts :P

[Biomega]

even something that lets you stay mounted the first few seconds of combat.

What do you mean by that, combat doesn't dismount you on any mount.

[Lefrog]

What do you mean by that, combat doesn't dismount you on any mount.

Probably means when the mounted player initiates combat. Would be cool to be able to clear low level mobs on horseback because things die in 1 hit and it takes 2 GCDs to dismount you.

and thats what makes them unique

[LordVargK]

I think it was a bug the whole time. At least I was able to equip my mount right from the start on all levels. I was really surprised, when the "mount equipment unlocked" skill popped up at some point, after I've been using it for many levels

[Kaleredar]

The problem with mount equipment will be the same as it was with engineering enchants.

For almost all intents and purposes, there will be a “best” one. For engineering, it was the parachute cape, which was only replace by the glider cape, which was simply a better parachute. The glider is still the best engineering cloak enchant to this day, and they added it in MoP.

For mount equipment, that will very likely be water walking. Do you use it all the time? No. But when you DO need it, does it save you a large amount of time wasted flopping through the water? Absolutely.

Once they’ve added the “best” one it becomes difficult for them to iterate on these systems meaningfully, especially when getting from A to B is the primary concern most people have while mounted.

The only other contesting one I could see is the aforementioned interacting while mounting, but... there are items that give you hours of being able to do that, and I wouldn’t be surprised if blizzard was hesitant to roll that functionality into a permanent ability to combat mass farming without even the smallest bit of investment. And most people still wouldn’t be interested in that angle over water walking.

herbing while mounted, cause the shredders still have that built in.

heh, yeah.

It is also probably my least favorited mount.

A little glide when you jump, prevent dismount when interacting with quest items, prevent dismount when herbing/mining, auto mount when out of combat, increased speed underwater, increased speed when flying, prevent dismount from the pvp net. They could even add some that add skills to use while mounted such as a glide, sprint or leap.
