Flying mounts in no-flight zones : Community Council

I am just providing a clarification/feedback about the Flying mounts in no-flight zones post on the community council forum.

Flying mounts in no-flight zones

I’m a player who uses the “Random Favorite Mount” feature 99% of the time. In zones I can fly in I want the mount summoned to be a flying mount so I can take off immediately without having to remount 3 times to get a flying mount. However, in zones like Korthia, Oribos, when I click the button I’m always given a flying mount instead of a ground mount. In The Maw I get a mix of both, though the flying ones seem to be recent additions like the KSM and covenant flying mounts. Any particular reas…

Random Favorite mounts chosen: Horse and Gryphon
Zone with flying allowed: summons gryphon
Zone without flying allowed: summons horse (this includes instanced outdoor areas like battlegrounds)

There are a number of mounts that can fly that may fit into both categories, such as the Netherlord’s Brimstone Wrathsteed.
In cases such as this I would like to see this mount be available for random selection in both areas.

I can see all the rage threads if the Headless Horseman and Invincible mounts don’t show up in no-fly zones.

I never use the randomizer since, for RP reasons, I like to pretend my character just has one dedicated mount – and flyers move just as fast as any other on the ground anyway. But if the randomizer worked this way, I’d definitely play around with it. A nice little QoL feature for RPers in general.

Completely agree. Any mount that can fly but has a ground mount model could be included in the flying zones.

The only zone I use it in is Nazjatar:

Got to get the use out of those otherwise never used water mounts, that can even fly there but also have the advantage of being able to move seamlessly into the water.

I still have stuff to get from there. So the only mounts in my “mount random” button are the underwater only mounts (Sea Horse(s), Fathom Dweller, Skate Rays, etc.)

I’m using the Addon Lite Mount

The addon works just like the ‘‘Random Summon Button’’ but with a lot more options and the addon actually makes the difference between flight and no-flight zones. So no more flying mounts in Oribos (you can also change the settings to have both or just specific mounts in specific zones).

If they can do something with that that takes just a second I’m all for it but as far as fish to fry… dont waste time on that
