Neverwinter details the ins and outs of the upcoming mount changes

Mounts are important in any game. It’s nice to be able to choose a noble steed that represents your preferences and your character’s personality by forcing another creature to serve as a mobile platform for your butt. Neverwinter‘s next major expansion is bringing along major changes to the game’s mounts, so a new entry on the official site details how things are changing for your preferred mobile butt-platform.

The biggest change is that mount speed will be decoupled from the mounts themselves, allowing you to use your favorite mount rather than simply your fastest options. The same can be done with active and passive abilities on mounts, meaning that you can have your favorite appearance and favorite powers in one mount-shaped package. Mounts will also no longer be stored in your bags, which is another boon for players who like to have a wide selection of different platforms for their butts.
