Blizzard - It's almost 2025. All mounts should be able to Fly now

Ground Mounts are pretty much useless in this day and age, especially as Flying is unlocked so early now.

If we can have Flying ponies running in the Sky then why can’t my Wolf fly? There’s no excuse for not letting all Mounts fly in this modern age.

Yes, even the Brut. I wanna seeing those flying Long Boys.

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.

To be fair they also have a magic flying rat, rabbit, ox, and some of the horses don’t even have wings. Magic purple fox.

You can make anything fly with magic.

Make it happen :magic_wand:

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.

No, flying snd ground mounts are different not every single thing has to fly. Its ok

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.

They really need to give us mount equipment like rocket boots or jet pack that allows ground mounts to fly…I want a flying motorcycle so bad lol

I’m still waiting for all transmog to be cross armor type, just let us go nuts come on.

Yes I want to be able to have my mage wearing a plate armor set and flying around on a mechostrider who would it hurt?

But why is it different? The headless horseman mount flies because of magic but it doesn’t look any different than a regular horse.

Who would it hurt if rivendares charger could fly, or a chestnut mare?

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.

Because reasons, lmao.

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 :rofl: :rofl:

We have wingless flying horses, lol…so yeah, Id like to be able to use my wolf mounts on my orcs to fly too.

“because the water walking yaks and mammoths are regular yaks and mammoths and not created from or enhanced by magic”

and yet, here we are, lmao

water walking mount equipment can easily be flying mount equipment :+1:

and yet with mount equipment they can defy gravity and walk on water now.
Huh…so much for 'immersion" lol

Wolves don’t get that big naturally. Guarantee magic went into making them that size

He does have a point tho. You can already mog plate looking sets on a clothie, and cloth sets on a plate wearer.

You say that, as we have flying Foxes and Horses.

That train has long since left the station.

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
