View Full Version : Customizable mounts that REALLY grow with your character!

<p>I love the idea of the dire bear -- that my character can obtain a mount when they are both young and the mount will grow with the character.  I'd like to see this idea expanded, so that a young character could obtain a quested mount and via a series of quests that would become available at various levels, the character could level up the mount and equip it. </p><p>There might also be any number of character-made items that the mount could use.  It might have armor, which could give armorers a variety of badly-needed recipes, or a lovely saddle, or harvest bags.  Stats might vary, according to how the mount is equipped or what quests you have done with that mount or what you feed it.  Maybe there could also be special rare harvestable treats for your mount, which would give it some sort of stat boost for a short time.  Maybe there could be a riding crop that would make the mount go faster.  Essentially, there could be as much customization with the mount as with the character. </p><p>It would also be nice if the mount could display a name, like the dire bear does when it is little and before you can ride it, and if the character could dismount and have the mount stand or even walk at his side.</p>

<p>I claimed one of the new dire bears on a level 1 guardian I made. In the text it says he fights with you until he becomes a mount at level 20.</p><p>I have a seperate window for pet melee since I have a Conjuror, Necro and Shaman. I like to see what/who they're hitting. This window also shows the dire bears attacks.</p><p>From level 1 to 20 he landed 1 hit on a mob... ever. (Against even con, blue con and green con mobs.)</p><p>One Hit.</p><p>Neat idea though.</p>

<p>I wouldn't put too much credit into the following, as the the folks who reported to me are my 7 & 6 yr olds (not the best trained in objective observations)...</p><p>But children have reported (ok, bounced excitedly at me, jabbering insanely) that their respective bears (Yogi & Bearylovesberries) have joined their toons (both conj's) in fights. I couldn't say if the bear ever actually hit anything, but it did 'try.'</p>
