Only the horse can be summoned for good; the rest are beaten and lost

After the dragon argument, players pulled apart the whole mount system in Crimson Desert. Trailers showed heroes on bears, birds of prey and wolves in harness. In the release, the only animal that can be called at any moment is the horse.

An exotic beast, other than the dragon, has to be beaten to exhaustion. The ride is temporary: dismount, and the animal immediately becomes an enemy. A Reddit thread with that complaint passed 5,000 votes. People are writing to support, and under the volume of tickets Pearl Abyss’s support servers went down for a while.

The question that repeats is why a single-player game forbids a stable for a bear when other players are not harmed. This note does not yet include a concession from the studio.
