I think, that with sea mounts, flying mounts, and ground mounts, the next new thing should be War Mounts. NOT vehicles, but war mounts. They would let you attack (at maybe a 10% dmg and 25% hit chance penalty) on them, and would come with a few abilities unique to each one. Some ideas I was thinking of:
Mountain Gronn (ability like Shaman's Earthquake)
Devilsaur (mass fear/howl of terror like ability)
Chimera (flying war mount, lightning bolt that deals extra dmg to flying enemies)
Fel Reaver (charge)
... and some others. Tell me what you think.
EDIT: Oh, and you could cast while moving on your mount, as long as your still facing the enemy if required (you'd still face the above penalty).

I...don't get it....
Just because you say it isn't a vehicle doesn't mean it's not a vehicle. (Did that count as a double negative?) IF it has unique abilities exclusive to that mount, it would be the exact same thing as a vehicle.
Why would you want to attack from the "war mount" when you could just dismount and kill the thing with 100% damage and 100% of your normal hit?

If they were flying, that would be sweet (DAMMIT BLIZZ YOU PROMISED ME).
As it is, ground "war mounts" I don't see being any good.

Much as I like Crimson Skies, if I wanted to play Crimson Skies, I'd play Crimson Skies. If you could attack infantry with a flying mount, then it would be overpowered. If it was air to air battles, it would be Crimson Skies.
There's really no way to work in a balanced flying combat system.

I think it'd be really cool to implement this system into a BG. One could do aerial combat with the opposing faction or fight on land.

Sorry, was away for the weekend.
To the whole "it is a vehicle thing"... you can't cast/attack in a vehicle. The idea here is that you get a unique ability to that vehicle (for instance, an enh shammy could Charge in a Fel Reaver) and still attack in it, but with a bit of a weakening to lower the whole "OP" thing, and make it more realistic. When I suggested a Fel Reaver/Mountain Gronn mount, I meant a scaled down one (still has to be reasonable to be able to attack with, say, a dagger in one and actually hit your enemy). And, this WOULD be playable outside of BGs. But it would be exclusive to higher leveled players.
As to being overpowered, not really. It's just preventing the whole "Casting Lightning Bolt... oh crap he mounted/flew away" thing. And also realize-- you have to stay in LoS if required, and be in proper range, and control your mount at the same time, with the 10% damage 25% hit chance penalty. So you have to be able to multi-task pretty well also. So overpowered? No. But this is something I really want to see.

Glad to hear it worked out well in other MMO's. Could I get a reference? It'd just be nice to hear how many have implemented this.
