A suggestion for DoF

[RpTheHotrod]

<DIV>The carpet quest is nice and all, though....does suck seeing everyone looking exactly alike floating on carpets at higher levels....</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>but...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It just doesn't "feel" or "look" right for a tanking class to be flying around on a fluffy floating carpet, especially evil characters like ShadowKnights.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Why not add a new quest? Once you get your carpet, you could find an NPC that is desperatly wanting a carpet. However, the carpet quest giver and this new NPC doesn't like eachother, so the carpet guy refuses to sell his wares to the new npc guy.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>SO, if you completed the carpet quest, you could "trade in" your 40% carpet to the new NPC and get a 40% horse in return. He gets his carpet, and you get a horse.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Riding into battle on a horse with sword and shield in hand just looks so much better than floating on a colorful fluffy carpet into battle.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It would also reduce the "everyone has the exactly same speed look" at higher levels.</DIV><p>Message Edited by RpTheHotrod on <span class=date_text>12-29-2005</span> <span class=time_text>05:19 PM</span>

<DIV>Why the hell not. 40% Carpet = 40% Horse</DIV>

You know there are "camel trainers" and 'camel Merchants' all over DoF, but there are no camel's for sale, or quest. How about the Camel Merchant really wants a Carpet but the Carpet Seller, who is a snob and weasle in the quest anyway, won't sell to someone as low as a Camel Hearder. Its basicly the same Idea as yours (wich I ovoiusly think is a good one, hence my coping it), yet at the same time the reward still has the Arabain Knights Flavor and has the added benifit of adding new and Differant Mounts to the game. Something SoE has said they would like to do in the future. We already have camels moving around so atleast some of the Model work is already done, granted getting the scale right on the smaller races and getting the look right as far as Matching Toon to mount may take more work then adding a new Horse but I think in the long run it would be worth it. The could also add Maj'Dul Wistil Versions that you can buy that basicly are the same as the MD horses only camels.

lol dont like the idea for a horse much cuz horses are common how about like a  flying thing like carpet but more updated for tanks like a gear or something......<span>:smileyindifferent:</span> <div></div>

i kinda like the idea, i dunno i'm doing the carpet quest atm, but i doubt i'll use it much simply b/c pallys shouldn't be riding carpets imo...it's not very "knightly"

I want to ride into battle on an armored lion or tiger, that would be awsome.  There are so many other cool mounts they could add, rino's, wolves, dragons, giant spiders, snakes, etc...

[g0thiC_iCe_cReaM]

omg that would be so kewl, kinda like the orcs in LOTR riding into battle on those hound thingies...

<font color="#ffff00">Why the hell not. 40% Carpet = 40% Horse<font color="#ffffff">As a matter of interest, do carpets and horses work in the same places and not work in the same places? (ie you can use carpets outdoors but not in dungeons?)  Do carpets stay activated when you zone just like horses do?</font></font><div></div>

<DIV>The quested 40% Carpet works exactly the same as any other mount. </DIV>
