one slot rideable mounts quality of life upgrades please
Can we please make all the one slot ride-able mounts resurrectable by the owner with bandages regardless of veterinary skill? On some servers its difficult to find a player vet to res your pet when it dies and the timer on the NPC is way to long it just becomes a major hassle to use anything but an ethereal. Allowing the owner to res the pet would see people start to use a lot of the mounts again from a basic horse / llama / ostard to a vanity mounts like Grizzled Mare / Lasher and Windrunner and old mounts like faction warhorses.
Doing this would have no negative impact on the game as the feature is already available to players on VvV mounts and previously faction warhorses. It would just make the game more new player friendly. I don't see any reason to prevent players from resurrecting their mount anymore. This game has all these cool mounts in the game that are rarely used because they are just an annoyance when they die.
Also I believe it would increase sales of things like Lasher and Windrunner off the uo store which could only be a beneficial thing for the game.

1 pets can now bond so you don’t need to buy a new mount.
2 there is an exploit where you can just log out to prevent your pet from dying
3 you can use an ethereal mount now at any age.
4 you can use a vvv horse if you want to res your own mount.
5, npc stable masters now res pets
how can you possibly ask for the game to get even easier?
There is a potion that allows you to revive your pet - Elixir of Rebirth
Vets require that your pet has been a ghost for of upwards 15 minutes before they with deign to resurrect it. Lower this to 3 minutes and the problem goes away entirely.
If you want to keep player-granted pet resurrections competitive, lower the amount of skill loss associated with the veterinary skill. (or tie it to animal lore)
Keep the NPC vet and potion resurrection skill loss where they currently are now.
However, I am completely in favor of the store-bought vanity mounts being given the no-skill resurrection treatment like faction/VvV mounts - as long as they haven't been trained up.
That at would be easier I guess.
but honestly I agree with the op a 1 slot pet being resed by anyone would be convenient
We know you love to kill other peoples mounts. Shouldn't you recuse yourself from this conversation?
The game's population on most shards does not support the outdated rules and should be adapted to make the game more player friendly.
Why not just make Elixir of Rebirth or something similar available in the store?
Fixing/improving other areas of the game would be time better spent.
Although just bcause a dev says something, doesn't make it so. They regularly change their minds and are capable of coming to more accurate conclusions when given more information. They are only human, not gods.
Does anyone remember when one of the team wrote in the newsletter that losing a mount's healthbar in classic client was not a bug but a feature and that they'll implement the loss of the health bar on EC??? to try and make 2 wrongs a right.
I don't really want to go into the whole insta pet logging issue on this thread.
Much like your non VvV mounts, the topic, will be resurrected a lot later.
Please make the Grizzled Mare a 5 slot mount, it's incredibly rare and deserves it. Some of us have been waiting a long time for this simple addition.
This is a joke that they’re planning to implement this game breaking feature on a bug fixing patch.
Slow clap.
To force you to rely on other players, the MM in MMORPG. But since it relies on humans being kind and helping others, it was doomed to failure upon conception.
Either lower the timer to ~3 minutes or let tamers create "pet resurrection deeds" like crafters make repair deeds. Elixirs of Rebirth are a PITA to find on most shards.
Might aswell just delete vvv as so many people will quit it and just ride these instead of VvV mounts. Why oh why are we adding this to a “bug fix” patch? This is not a bug. VvV mounts work like this for a reason, there is a reason you can’t self res mounts that are not VvV mounts.
Can @mesanna please clarify that this will only work in trammel. Or clarify there will be a 5 minute delay or something in being able to self res. Or clarify that you must be in VvV to be able to perform the self res?
Just out of curiosity tho... are there THAT many people who are in VvV purely for the mount? So many of them that VvV will just collapse in on itself? I am not being sarcastic, I truly am curious how many join JUST for the mount.
But what does this mean? These people who leave VvV will give out murder counts (as they’ll stilll continue to pvp, just troll pvp by only attacking red/greys in group fights/protecting champion spawn boss killers/wall of stoning) and this will make many people forced to take murder counts just for defending their own team members in group fights.
The devs have stated that it is not a bug that the town city buff remains after death. So many people have built their suits around the Fast casting 1 buff that only blues can get. So they will find it very annoying to have to keep eating forged pardons just because an opposing guild is using non VvV members.
You may ask, what’s stopping guilds from using non VvV members now? Well currently non VvV members are at a disadvantage for group pvp fights as when they get dismounted, they’ll be unable to remount as they can’t self res their pet. So people can currently troll by joining in fights (by wall of stoning/attacking pets/targeting red/greys) but they have a higher likelihood of death.
Removing this main disadvantage will increase trolling.
I hope I have explained the fel infrastructure causes and effects.
