Ok, not sure if this is supposed to be this way, but the bear mounts are not scaling. They look fine for say a fae or small races, but saw a barbarian on one and lets just say I was laughing so hard at the complete mismatch that I could barely breath. Might want to look into this one SOE.
Agreed, my ogre looks very odd on his bear. I almost feel bad riding him and wish I could have him follow me around at that size. Could someone please look into giving the bears some growth hormones?
Looks fine to me. I prefer to not see towering mounts that fill the whole screen and block everything in sight while standing at a broker.
Please scale the mount to an appropriate size based on the race of the rider! I don't want and or need something like the LON make my mount the size of a house but please at leat make them suitable size wise for the riders race. I buy a horse or a warg and it scales to my characters race, I buy a retail copy of TSO so I can stop spending plat on mounts and I get a teenie tiny bear for my barbarian? /Picard face palm
Is there any information on the speed of the bear mount and what it's supposed to be at various levels? I was surprised that my bear mount at 58 was only 30%. The carpet you got from the DIRTY quest was 35% and you could do that quest at level 1
If we could please stay on topic regarding the mounts size / scaling or lack thereof I would appreciate it. I am hoping this was not intended (not scaling that is). Please and thank you.

They are fixing this? Darn. I thought it made sense finally to see 1 size for all. Since it *IS* a bit more realistic honestly.. you do not get the kind of size spread within a species as you see. Horses sure, they can be different breeds to explain it. But the bears? They look to be exactly the same and should be the same size. Plus I am roflmao every time I see a fae sprawled out on one. Too bad.
Yesterday for kicks I used my harvesting cloak on my Sarnak and grew 18% while my girlfriend used her moppet doll to shrink her Fae. It was truely an amusing sight for sore eyes.

I posted a topic about this very issue under Items and Equipment. Here's the photo I posted there of an ogre on a dire bear. Pretty silly. Glad to hear it's being looked at! Edited to say, you do have a point, Spin. The size of the mount has some value when it comes to humor. If they didn't fix it, I was thinking about dressing my ogre all in pink and going with "silly." I guess he may be saved from this awful fate now, tho.
I also noticed that your 'eye' level stays at your characters normal standing height, which means that in 3rd person more of your toon/mount blocks the view. It needs to move the 'eye' level up to where your actual eyes are depending on the mount you're on.
When I noticed that the bear mounts didn't scale...I was estatic. Finally, some degree of realism in this world of things magically resizing to match their user! It just doesn't seem right that buying the same horse basically results in a clydesdale for Ogres and Trolls, a horse for humans and elves, and a pony for gnomes and dwarves. See a mount remain static across all races was a relief. Please SOE...leave the bear as it is.
