Nah, I think some mounts should 100% be ground mounts.
Ground mounts are fine to have.
Sure, make a lot of the mounts in the future capable of flying by default, but look, mounts like the Brutosaur, various Mammoths, the Yak mounts etc etc. They should stay on the ground.
Flying horses are a thing in fantasy mediums, have been for a long time. So they’re not really a problem.
Because it’s a regular wolf and not one created from or enhanced by magic.
A regular horse should not be able to fly. A 5-ton kodo should not be able to fly. A 20-ton brutosaur should definitely not be able to fly. The game needs limits to prevent it from becoming a parody of itself, or even more thereof, depending on how you view its current state.
A simple fix although awkward looking would be to give us a “harness” that looks similar to the Goblin Glider’s from engineering.
Or… a step further would be to just develop something along the lines of a goblin or gnomish engineering harness with the engineering profession that gives us a “Mechanized Flying Apparatus” go all out with a more interesting design but with animated wing flapping motions and little animated gears/belts/pulleys to sell the whole effect.
I’m fine with there being some ground mounts, especially when it makes zero sense for some to fly.
However, there are some ground mounts that should be flying mounts. Any mount that’s undead / spectral should fly. Blanchy, Fallen Charger, Spectral Tiger, Spectral Wolf, Fiery Warhorse (aka Midnight), etc.
You are playing a game where there are magic goat people and talking crystals. Stop trying to act like anyone cares a wolf can fly. Having ground mounts is no sensical now since you can fly at lvl 10. I have not seen a ground mount be used in forever. It basically makes any ground mount they create wasted art time beccause no one will ever use it because you can fly in 99% of the content.
its hilarious seeing some defending blizzard not opening up flight to all mounts given theyre some of the same names who tossed fits that only the striders could water walk, lmao.
“muh immershun”
lol…they didnt give a squat about immersion when they let a frikkin giant yak walk on water
We have wingless flying horses, lol…so yeah, Id like to be able to use my wolf mounts on my orcs to fly too.
lmao…I tossed a fit in here and said the SAME thing about them all walking on water and you all overruled that complaint.
But here we are anyway…mult ton mammoths walking on water anyway ruining MY immersion lol
you and me both.
Theres enough crossover in appearance…and heritage and cosmetic that yeah…just let us use our mogs however we choose to
The inane ramblings about ‘muh immersion’ on that one are a joke.
Ive posted lists of mog sets that already look like armor types they AINT going all the way back to the classic era.
This is “plate”…lmao… the ‘immersion’ was broken back in classic, lol
