Since Shredders kept their herbing ability, it’s unfair there is no mount or mount equip that allows for mining without dismounting.
Back in the day, Shredders were reportedly going to let you mine as well. Not sure why they ever removed it but yeah.
You’re asking for this as if the devs haven’t completely given up on mount equipment. Let’s face it, mount equipment was created to nerf water strider so they could say it wasn’t a nerf and some new system they were excited about, then quickly abandoned.
They could’ve done amazing things with mount equipment: xmog armor, make ground mounts fly, double jump, etc. They did nothing.
I wouldn’t mind them undoing the whole 1 mount equip for ALL and letting some mounts be special. Those bugs deserve water walking. As does the boat mount.
If we can customise our robot cat mount, why can’t the game remember other specific mount only customisation?
Cats or bears can dig up herbs, I’d say!
Why not give flying mounts the ability to be customised with water walking as well, glide over the surface?
Right? Rather than making more mounts special, they chose make one we all had to grind rep for become bland.
If anything, flying mounts should at least glide in areas they can’t fly. They have wings. Just saying.
At the very least, not take fall damage.
Yes…also, why do metal mounts take fall damage? Any why can’t my walking turtle go fast in water? WoW devs do things so half-arsed.
Well… cars take fall damage too. XD
MORE immersion would be grand, not take away the bugs claiming they were everywhere and breaking immersion…
They made a boat mount that cannot float. But can fly. That pretty much says it all.
I laughed more then I should of have.
That would be the best approach I think, maybe make them all milestone achievement mounts you have to earn each expansion. Like change the achievement criteria and make them finish the next section to get it.
Could really make gathering and crafting interesting. Give gatherers a wagon that visually fills up with things the more herbs or ores you have in your bag. Give skinners a pelt cart. These have the ability to hit a certain amount and can auto deposit it into the reagent bank.
That would at least help breathe some measure of life into these facets of the game, but the problem would be Blizzard would have to capitalize on it, and they’ve shown they only ever double down on the stupid decisions.
I wouldn’t be opposed to it. How about more mount equipment so can permanently decide what you want to do on whatever mount you choose.
stretches feet in the air and wiggles toes
I have a rare walking turtle that goes walking speed…on land and water.
Oh, visuals that change would be amazing backpacks, carts might be silly on some mounts.
Hey babe how are you? Haven’t seen you in a while!
Next thing would be a skinning machine ,omg. Things nightmares are made out of.
There’s a toy that skins stuff at a range, like… a skin loot-a-rang…
I think they nerfed it after some people misused it. But I said machine and not a tool.
Yea, but I was implying the RP implications are already horrid with this knife… a machine wouldn’t be toooo farfetched. XD
Goblin or forsaken of nature.
You should be able to buy/craft mount equipment that turns a shredder into a mining mount.
or at the very least make it so the mount equipment goes into a Heart of Azeroth style window where you learn it once but can slot it in at any rest area. one moment water walking. the next barding. then toss in a few of GW2 mount like abilities as further options.
so you get the high jump or a power lunge. or a glide or like the world quest speed boost birb.
