Ride-able pets - discovering the map takes ages

[Doppelcorny]

As said above the exploration of Conans world is great, makes a lot of fun. But the stamina seems to be empty almost every time. There's a DLC that "tunes" certain animals. Yet there is no option to craft a saddle and use it to tame an elephant, camel etc. This DLC could utilize so much more but it only changes the looks of certain animals.

isnt that the point to "discover" things by foot? you'd miss so much using a ride

[Vegeta89]

yea a conan game without horse riding is pointless!!

It is supposed to take ages, that is partly the point of this type of game.

The developers have stated on a few occasions that mounts will never be in the game, so the only you'll get them is through a mod.

How do I miss something when riding on horseback is basicly the same thing just sped up a little?

Conan is in my eyes a dino-less version of Ark. In Ark there you can ride your dinosaurs. Everything else is well done (besides some bosses that randomly fall under the map and therefor block your ability to loot them).

There is not going to be mounts. If you did a search you could find out this info for yourself.

the only thing this game is missing, is horse as mounts, it could be worlds best game if it had it, but when it doesnt have it, it cant compete with ark and atlas, no chance. mounts make the gameplay much more fun. It could work perfectly in conan too. those who dont see this is blind in their own thoughts. if you have time to run through the map by foot, and use many hours on that in this huge world? than I dont understand. Knowing mounts dont exist in conan, made many players quit and went over to ark and atlas. there you go, you lost many players. When funcom say they will add mounts later after release, when they cant hold their word, its not worth it player their game, when they just make dlc to take your money, when we want mounts!!! the game is dead because of this!!!

You make it sound like they outright lied, when they very clearly explained why mounts were scrapped, the reason is because on anything but very high end PCs, mounts would just fall through the map, due to the way the map renders, so if they ever did implement mounts, anyone with a low-mid end PC or who plays on console would not be able to use them. Some people should really do research before going on rants, especially ones with such odd grammar and punctuation.

thats just a lie from funcom, when they can add everything else in the game and not mounts haha! with their skills and experience in animation they could done it easly. If your want a dead game, go ahead, you have it ;)

What's that? Some BS! "Mounts only for high-end PCs"? You can cleary stand on an elephand and stone nose. Yet there are textures inclueded in a DLC featuring bags, some ornaments and mount-like belts on elephants and rhinos. I haven't found a single forum etc. specific for Conan Exiles and ride-able animals. Other games do utilize mounts, other games don't need a crap ton of add-ons/ DLCs - Conan got alot of DLCs and all they do is change some cosmetics. Looks over function it seems like.

If you did your research? I need a diploma to play a video game? English isn't my native, I am from Germany - thus looking for german specific stuff of Conan Exiles. Nothing about ride-able pets has ever been documented in german. So here I sit with a few hours of spare time in a week and all there is is exploring the 2 square kilometers I crafted my base on because walking takes ages. Wasted potential really. I saw Conan the movie, the one with Arnold and there are mounts on pets.

If you cant type that well in English you can read well enough to do a forum search and find out for yourself. There will not be mounts. Doesn't matter if you or anyone else thinks other wise or its BS the fact remains. No mounts unless its a mod. This is old news and does not need another thread on the subject.

conan exiles dont need saddle for every animal like ark, it would have been enough with just horses as mounts. Things could have been so much more fun, i dont have time run through the whole map to get black ice, with a horse, this could be done so much more faster and made the gameplay way more fun.

Riding animals in Conan... hell no.

I can imagine how huge-load of working hours it would take to make ridable animals in Conan with proper animations, with proper behaviors in certain terrains and balancing everything around horses once again. It would effect some many gameplay areas it's just too late for such things and in my opinion is completly redundant.

World feels quite big but only due to traveling by foot. Add horses or other ridable animals and world will shrink a lot, that would make a game less entertaining in my eyes. I like the idea of preparing for longer journeys and I like the idea of longer journeys itself - they feel rewarding.
With ridable animals there wouldn't be any long journeys because you could just travel the land like a lightning bolt and that would make gameplay much more shallow.

Not having horses or other rideable animals is in my eyes on of those cases where LESS = BETTER, having less options to travel fast ( currently obelisks are fast traveling option for lazy people ) makes gameplay more deeper and interesting, why? Because it's survival game after all and in that genre rough = fun.

I understand whole point of traveling fast by horse ( or a bear, I would love travel by a bear with my beared barbarian with axes ) but I just believe it's not worth the hussle for developers.
