New mounts
As we all know each race has their own mount which can be used both for traveling and for fighting. Other than the distinctive racial mounts which can only be created by the specific race but ridden by anyone, the Battlehorn is already in the game, which is a more armored mount with more hitpoins.
There's a variety of mounts in the works both on paper and in development.
The first of this new batch of mounts that will make it into Agon is the "Tribeland Bear". The developers thought it's about time the Mahirims get their own trusted companion with brutal force and fighting power.
Besides the existing mounts, the game will see a wide aray of mounts being added.
Without further ado we introduce you to the "Blue Tail Runner": This agile mount will be the first of a new generation of mounts. It will be faster than the normal mounts but with less hitpoints.
This cheetah-gazelle mix is just the first of a more specialized collection of mounts being added, each with a specific role or purpose. Some of them feature additional skills useful in certain situations, and differ from each other in a wide range of abilities.
The art department wants to keep the Blue Tail Runner a surprise but we were able to convince them to provide us a screenshot of the Tribeland Bear for you.
BestSigEver :P

Wolfs and Bears are antagonistic IRL so the wolfs "won" then ? ;D

Sweet!
I was really getting tired of those friggin' pig mounts, they reek of Ork. No offence intended.

Gratz on new mounts!
Is it me or is that mount on the pic looks like a giant hamster on a Jenny Craig diet?
I am the type of player where I like to do everything and anything from time to time.

The teeth on them should have given you another impression really.

Idea taken from DarkFall's Community Expansion Wishlist. Wish they'd release information regarding more "important'" stuff though such as Villages/Sea Villages and Sieges mechanics.
I wonder what we will see let's say in 5 or 10 years, the biggest and most complete fantasy sandbox ever.
We'll see about that. Tomorrow in the developer log, they will talk about their stance on grind by the way. Something to look forward to.
Can't help but hope it's an announcement that it's going to be reduced to something reasonable. There's no better game around minus the grind.
This is going to keep me subscribed!

A mount will keep u subscribed?
fail change, now everyone will have to carry a speedy mount and if you ever dont have a speedy mount, a group will always catch up to you and kill you.
listening to the comminity of vocal whiners is death.
I was being sarcastic.

While two new mounts isn't exactly game changing, any news of development for a playerbase as starved for it as this one is, is really good news. It would be great if they were announcing 20 new skills, new items, new enchantments, or some other content of that type (which Darkfall desperately needs), but any signs such as this which hint that maybe the developers haven't run off to the greek hillside yet is a promising one.
There will definitely be players who shrug this off as more useless fluff (along the lines of the slot machines and critters with no use, such as we're starting to expect lately), myself included, but at least this fluff actually affects gameplay.
