Dark Age of Camelot

Well back in the early days the devs said we would have mountable horses. Ive been waiting for years now and I have yet to see full controlable mounted horses like they described right at the end of Beta 3.

I have been a DAOC player for about 3 years now and i thnk we will not get player hourses but i do understans why.... in 1.75 we will be getting fast noncombat land speed thats all well and good but it cannot be that hard to just give us horses....

Here's what the devs at MYHIC needs ta do

first give us a quest that upon completeing it gives an item that when used will change the player model from normal to us sitting on a horse it alrefy exitst it's been around for live ever it the model that we use while on horse routes.

then increse char base speed whle on a hourse to just below speed 5 therfr keeping the sped classes still nessacary... also make it to to wher the houe slows to normal speed when we enter water

thats all they need ta do not a whole lot of coding mabey some porr sumcks' all-nighter but htats it come on mythic i want my damn horse

Horses swimming? Thats sounds like a fun idea

Also would be a good idea to have sharks/fish which you can control in ToA as well. Or to have horses which you can go into combat on in the frontiers. Would add to the roleplay feel, and make open field battles more entertaining.

Would be nice to have a quite difficult quest which rewards these stuff. Would help people which don't have access to speed (tanks, mages) getting around zones, and doing quests (such as epics, which are annoying because of all the running! ). Or instead of a quest, the horses could be purchased.

I doubt the coding would be that hard. There is a system where you can purchase your own horses on the freeshard servers (player made), and you can control them yourselves. Not tried it out yet though, would like to get around doing so.

ummm well the sharks/fish would really take away from the rollplaying idiea a whole lot, but the horses in battle sounds cool, And you should be able to kill the horse or knock it over with a treb or a catapult.

Well ToA did take away from the whole roleplaying idea of the Dark Ages.. didn't it?

Also another, slightly amusing, idea would be to use 'live ammunition' on the siege weapons. Such as cows, which could induce an aoe disease when it has been fired into the keep/tower/field.

I don't think that mythic will ever give us those horses. They said that a long time ago, but still nothing and with speed in patch 1.75 as said above, there only is a very little chance that they ever will add those promised horses ;)
