I forgot to mention Torton/Ravenous Torton as one of the mountable creatures.

5. Bantha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rancor!!!!!!!!!! Kimo!!!! Makloks! FAMBAAS!

6. I love the role playing aspect of mounts. I think Master CHs should be able to ride some of the cooler big creatures!

• Seldom. Perhaps for a change of pace every now and then, but mostly I run or use vehicles - specifically, I run. I don't really care that much about how long it takes to get there. I had to be reminded that I had a bike last night.

• Physical appearance

Although the ability to fight is pretty important, too.

• Make more creatures mountable!!!!
  
• Let at least some playershave the mount itself fight while riding it
  
• Let at least some players use special attacks on mounts
  
• Give at least some mounts vehicle speed, at least when galloping
  
• Let mounts gallop longer and recover from being winded faster
  
• Other: Let us use our non-attack stuff while mounted: Mask Scent, Use stim, Survey, etc.

. Which best describes how often you use mounts? (Pick One)

• Seldom. Perhaps for a change of pace every now and then, but mostly I run or use vehicles
  

2. Please re-order the following mounts in descending order of how often you use them (omit mounts you never use):

• Savage Humbaba
  
• Giant Carrion Spat
  

3. What's the single most important quality in a mount to you?

• Physical appearance (none of them are worthwhile in combat)
  

4. Please rank the following design requests in descending order (most important first) of how much they would increase the desirability of mounts in your eyes:

• Let at least some players use special attacks on mounts
  
• Other - An option to not slow down, but not attack back; as vehicles function
  
• Let at least some players have the mount itself fight while riding it
  
• Make more creatures mountable
  

5. Please list the top five creatures you would like to see made mountable

• Klikniks
  
• Bagerasets
  
• Dalyrakes
  
• Kwi
  
• Cu Pa
  

6. (Optional) If you have any mount-related comments or feedback, please feel free to give that here.

• Scouts or Rangers should be able to maskscent while riding
  
• Scouts or Rangers should be able to give some terrain negotiation to their mount
  
• I can only use mounts when I solo. They are inferior to vehicles in every way so no one else uses them.
  

• Seldom. Perhaps for a change of pace every now and then, but mostly I run or use vehicles

• Gee I can't remember what it was. I hardly ever bring it out.

3. What's the single most important quality in a mount to you?

• Physical appearance - nice for parades

• Give at least some mounts vehicle speed (otherwise they are of littlevalue)
  
• Have some very cool looking mounts with something special that only a high level or master CH can use. For example a flying mount will have a fun coolness factor.

• Make more creatures mountable (who cares with current mount capabilities)

There's a lot of other stuff on our plate, but I would like to get some ideas generated for a "mount request document" to present to the Devs. If you could answer the following questions, I would be most grateful.

1. Which best describes how often you use mounts? (Pick One)
* When fighting. I usually dismount and try to keep the pet out of the battle entirely.
* i also use my mount to stay mounted and fire
* All the time. I move around on mounts almost everywhere I go.

**** in that order i dont do just one thing. i prefer mounts to vehicles for the most part.



2. Please re-order the following mounts in descending order of how often you use them (omit mounts you never use):

* Dewback

3. What's the single most important quality in a mount to you?

* Speed over short distances.
******with caveat that i prefer mounts because the monsters tend not to spawn long after i have passed the area.

4. Please rank the following design requests in descending order (most important first) of how much they would increase the desirability of mounts in your eyes:

* Make more creatures mountable
(definately i want to ride rancors, cats, banthas)
* Let at least some players use special attacks on mounts
(never)
* Let at least some players have the mount itself fight while riding it
(never)
* Let mounts gallop longer and recover from being winded faster
(doesnt matter to me i dont see any real diff in gallop speed anyway)
* Give at least some mounts vehicle speed, at least when galloping
(never this is the main advantage of vehicles over mounts)
* Other make it so we can stunt the growth of all pets.

5. Please list the top five creatures you would like to see made mountable

1. RANCOR
2. BANTHA
3. RANCOR
4. RANCOR
5. KIMOGILA

6. (Optional) If you have any mount-related comments or feedback, please feel free to give that here.

need the ability to stop growth on all pets not just spats and at any point in the life cycle. not everyone wants or likes BE pets. baby pets sell very well and lots of folks want small versions of pets. being able to sell a baby sub level 10 rancor to nonCH would be a good idea. with this pets should not get their resits or armour till full grown. this would prevent stunted pets from being abused by nonCH but still give them a toy. pet data needs to show if a pet has been stunted or not.

1. Which best describes how often you use mounts?
All the time. I move around on mounts almost everywhere I go.

2. Please re-order the following mounts in descending order of how often you use them
Brackaset
Dewback

3. What's the single most important quality in a mount to you?
Endurance. I'll take a hit in raw speed, as long as I can gallop most of the time

1. Which best describes how often you use mounts? (Pick One)

• Seldom. Perhaps for a change of pace every now and then, but mostly I run or use vehicles


• When fighting. I usually dismount and use the mount as a regular combat pet.


• When fighting. I usually stay mounted and use default attacks from atop the mount.


• When fighting. I usually dismount and try to keep the pet out of the battle entirely.


• All the time. I move around on mounts almost everywhere I go.

I would say about half of the time. When I have to travel really far, I use a vehicle. Short distances I try to use a mount. It's about time...if I don't have a lot of time to play, I need to get there faster. If mounts moved faster (like they should) then I would use them almost 100% of the time.

2. Pleasere-order the following mounts in descending order of how often you use them (omit mounts you never use):

• Dewback


• Bol


• Falumpaset/Humbaba


• Brackaset


• Kaadu


• Carrion Spat

1. Brackaset

2. Dewback

3. Bol

3. What's the single most important quality in a mount to you?

• Physical appearance


• Combat strength as a regular pet

I'd have to say endurance. Yeah, going slower is a pain but I can take it if I can gallop farther. Combat strength would be next, since I could pair it with a pet following along. Physical appearance follows, I'm not one to ride on a giant chicken...LOL

• Other (write in)

1. Make more creatures mountable. More variety is good.

2. Give them vehicle speed when galloping. People want speed in this game, to get to one place from another. If creatures had vehicle speed, then maybe more people would use them.

3. Special attacks on mounts. Easier for the ranged fighters, but melees would be difficult, especially spin maneuvers.

4. Let the mount fight while riding. Why would it sit there while be smacked on if you're sitting on top of it? Horses were trained to fight while mounted, same with elephants in ancient times.

5. Let them gallop longer and recover faster. Recovery time takes forever now. Too much downtime for too little burst (applies to burst run also, IMO).

5. Giant peko peko (wouldn't have to fly high, just a meter or two above the ground like a vehicle)

I love mounts and as a MCH I would prefer to use them all the time to fit my image. Unfortunately, they are not given enough in the way of speed or benefits to offset using a vehicle more. I REALLY wish they wouldn't slow down for combat, btw. Shouldn't you be able to gallop past something like you fly past something in your vehicle?
