Suggestion | Horse Saddle

48 votes

A player can too easy "cheese" many bosses via horseback resulting in highly dedicated players ruining the player experience for the more "casual" players. They will rush for a horse, cheese bosses via horseback while significantly lower level.

I suggest adding a Horse Saddle which can only be acquired from either T1 research, or killing a boss.

I think reducing range slightly and removing the damage boost on attacks would fix the horses. It would still allow players to ride by and hit players or bosses, but being closer and doing less damage would cause more chance of getting knocked off and give less advantage in PvP after a drive-by hit. This would solve the PvP and Boss cheesing problem with horses.

If you are saying that the early bosses are more easily cheesed on horseback, then I would say your saddle crafting idea is nice too. However, if later bosses are easily cheesed on horseback, then the overall nerf to range and damage might be more helpful throughout all bosses.

I want to expand upon this. To counteract the cheezin. There should be a stable construct added which allows you to tame and saddle a number of horses. Subsequently it can postpone the horse dying timer while “stabled”

This stable should be unlocked by a V blood unit within the Dunley Farmlands.

I don't like to impose this limitation... I love getting horses early in the game to get around faster, but I would love to see saddles that change the horse's stats or just look pretty to decorate my horses :)

I think it should be harsher either t2 bench or you cant hit bosses on a horse period! this is killing servers before you can even pvp at 81

Add a horse saddle that allows you to use the horse for additional inventory space instead of the water for keeping it alive

Could we get some specific packhorses implemented or some saddlebags to place on our horses to increase our carrying capacity with a horse? Thanks!!

It would be really great to be able to make saddlebags to add storage slots to horses.

It might be cool to have the saddles provide ownership of the horse as well

It would be cool to have a horse saddle you can make that will bind it to your vampire, adding the following functionality:
- adding additional storage space ((not just water canteens) this space can increase with higher tier saddles) up to the capacity of a small chest (12 slots or so max)
- halving the water requirement (gained at higher tier saddles)
- adding the ability to recall horse from anywhere on the map (cool down period and cast time (interruptible), this can be reduced with higher tier saddles)
- adding resistances such as stun resistance while mounted on higher/highest tier saddles (ignored for PvP perhaps to keep unmounted players on equal footing)
- adding speed/acceleration/turn speed buffs depending on saddle type

Is it just me or are horses really giving you **that** much of a significant competitive edge?? I feel like most enemies just knock me off my horse when I'm attacked lol. There is a horse track in the game and literally anyone can go there and get horses. There are even horses that are *always* spawning near certain waypoints. So I don't see the point in creating this limitation for players.

I do like the idea of a saddle though and making your horse more personalized. Having a stable and a feeding trough etc, makes it all more personalized.

As of right now, horses do require too much water (in my opinion). If we have a stable or saddle that will halve the water requirement, that would be nice. Or if the horses are near a "well", and they can drink from it, that would be nicer. It also makes the well that much more useful.

(500+ hours in V Rising as of now)

I think it would be awesome to be able to craft and add bags to your mount similar to your herb/Gem/Coin bags
