Mounts
Posted: Tue May 21, 2013 8:11 am
Hello everyone!,
with the increase in size of Forostar I feel like maybe it's time to jump
the gun and get a horse already.
All my former experiences with riding in game have been both cumbersome
and very expensive though. Every single mount I've had, I've lost to either
armaggedon or bugs or have been slain by monsters or other players. Sometimes
it's a bit difficult to know what actually happened. Did I forget to stable
my mount? Did a player steal my ticket? All of this comes from the way
mounts worked several years ago (as in, almost 8 years ago) when I was an
active player, so some of it might have been fixed over time and some of
it might be the same.
So I was wondering if there is a number of "best practices" or guide that
the more experienced characters could share to make having a mount an
enjoyable experience. The main showstopper for me at the moment is the cost
of purchasing a mount, given the certainty that I *will* lose that mount
during the learning process. Your insight might help me and other players
be more knowledgable before taking taking the risk to jump into riding!
To get the conversation going, I'll open with some questions:
- How do you avoid losing your mount to armaggedon/room resets?
- Is there a way to recover a mount lost this way?
- How do you know if your mount was killed or lost/bugged/destroyed by arma?
- Is there a way to keep your mount tickets safe?
- What is the actual in game difference between plow, riding and war mounts?
- Which skills are involved in the usage of mounts?
That should be enough to get the ball rolling I hope!
Thanks in advance for your insight.
