Finally Time for Illusions on Mounts

    Yep. With mounts receiving an overhaul in TDS and now the illusion key ring, I think it's definitely time to make most illusions work while riding a mount.

    I'm not a programmer, but I imagine each illusion references a preexisting set of animations for some things. To my knowledge, the only current non-PC model capable of mount use is Skeleton illusion. Though I suppose it's possible the skeleton has its own animations; I'd have to test horseback archery animations to see, and I'm too lazy for that.

    Simply put, I would like to see most illusions be mount-usable, with logic preventing a number of other ones from doing so (aka Flying Dragon illusion). But the Bokon illusion and cloaked Bertox marketplace guy, for example, seem to be a copies of Drakkin's animations and sound effects, so I'm curious how easy it would be to allow the mount animations to be cloned as well.

    I would very much appreciate a Dev's thoughts on the feasibility of this. Thank you.

    I find it confusing how often illusions are a topic these days, it used to be fun when you actually needed a Chanter to get them but now it strikes me as a poor replacement for more real content.
    Or for real rewards, when i look at that beta mask. Who has enough of this Halloween Party already?
    I'm sorry Gorehammer, but don't give them ideas to waste more of their already precious time.
