Mounts for more than one person.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I was running around on my mount and I got to thinking, it would be pretty cool to have one that could support multiple players on it, it would be nice for free companies, or just parties going to the same place, and wanting to take in the scenery.

i have no Clue, but could it be that the airship that can be build in FC house in future would work like this? ^^

I'd LOVE to have a mount that could carry multiple characters. In fact that reminds me of something; the SW:TOR devs designed huge mounts that were going to be for exactly that, but they never ended up finishing them. So they just released huge one seat cars that everyone drove around in on the fleet. People complained about them blocking mailboxes and doors. LOL xD

I would love more then one person mounts lol. The couples out there could ride a carriage together or maybe a flying carpet. I kinda wish the unicorn and behemoth mount was 2 seated.

In one mmo they had a dragon mount that could carry 10 people lol, don't remember what the mmo was either.

No thanks. Sorry.

That would be a great addition!

Two-seater mounts would be a great idea, but we can't have them. Most assuredly, SQE will want to prevent "the taking of not especially appropriate screenshots" here as well, and thus we can't have the feature either.

almost pointless with our tiny world and you can make a group never leave a area and DF right too your content.

op, you deserve cookies for this idea. i support this

I've said it before.. what would be the point when all mounts are the same speed anyway.

I think those are the airships that they will be releasing for Free Companies. They also will add features to the Free Company housing that will allow Free Companies to craft airships for their FC.

Other than that, what kind of multiple user mounts could there be? A Free Company that rides Titan? A bus? lol

Reminds me when I bought a mammoth mount in WoW that could carry 3 people total, it was awesome fun. Players could go AFK and be taxied to the next raid or just come back to find themselves somewhere random lol

Well, if I remember correctly... Yoshi did show a design in the latest Live Letter for a two seater carriage type of mount... for people who got married. I'd scour the video for it, but I've not that much time to do so at the moment.

Y'know.. seeing as if it is just limited to those that got married in game, i say that increases the likelyhood of the Dev team actually putting it in. They seem to enjoy making content that will actually exclude a large number of people.

A lot of couples play games together. Its not uncommon especially since I have heard that people tend to marry people with similar interests ;)

To rule out couples like they are a minority is silly when we know that each and every single player has the possibility of having a significant other in RL with similar interests.

Ride ze shoopuf?

I wasn't saying that couples would be excluded, i was saying that everyone who isn't a M/F pair would never be able to use this "feature", and that seems to be SQE's modus-operandi on non-progression based content; Not the pair thing, but rather the tendency to put in non-progression style content -only- if they're sure that it will be unusable/unappealing to a portion of the population. (ie. Housing costs, the myriad of forced-solo activities)

Yes please. I want to ride off into the sunset with a Paladin knight.

Make it happen, SE!

If they do add in multiple passenger mounts, I hope they have that bug where the passenger can hop on their own mount while riding your mount, just like WoW. It was always a good time, riding a traveler's tundra mammoth while on your friends traveler's tundra mammoth, even better if it was something like the love rocket.

You want a couples feature to be available for singles too. Hmph....

This was mentioned a while back and I think the response the dev gave was that it wasn't possible at the moment due to memory limitations.

This has been suggested many times in the past. I suggested it myself back in beta. idk y some people think it would only be something you'd want with a partner, couple. You guys drive in a car with your friends don't you? Why would it be taboo to have a double seater mount. I mean I guess two guys on a choco could be awkward, but that would be like two guys on a motorcycle. You could have the person in back faced the other way, if that makes people more comfortable. It'd look fine that way imo. The only real problem SE will run into is syncing up the second character on your screen. They'd pretty much would have to create a way to turn off the 2nd characters position updates on your client, and just have their model mounted on the choco. It gets even more complicated from the 2nd persons client side. It certainly could be done, but will they find it financially worth while to spend resources on. I doubt it, but I would welcome it.
