Headless Horseman mount and similar mounts don't work in ground-only zones anymore

[Woopee-mankrik]

This mount and other similar mounts that were usable in both ground mount only and flying zones are no longer usable as they were before. I imagine this is an unintended side-effect of the collection changes, and I would really like to be able to ride this mount in Dalaran, Orgrimmar, and other ground mount only areas like I was able to for more than a year since I obtained it in the Halloween event in TBC.

edit: apparently it’s only Dalaran where you can’t use these mounts anymore? Why?

Also the Headless Horseman’s Mount has a bugged flying animation.

Hello, please let me ride this mount like I’m supposed to be able to.

I can ride mine now in ground zones, but the jump animation is abysmal. They totally broke that lmao

They answered this already.

ICC Update Broke Adaptive Mounts

We looked into it, and this is not a bug. This a deliberate result of how the no-fly zone in most of Dalaran works to prevent some mounts from being able to fly in from outside of Dalaran, land, and take off again. It’s only having this effect on flying mounts, so players can still move around Dalaran at ground riding speed (wherever riding is permitted in the city). And all flying mounts may be used within the Krasus’ Landing part of Dalaran, as intended.

They plan to fix it in a future patch, but not right away.

@Kaivax

To be clear, yes, this is intentionally changed behavior, and we understand it is not ideal.

In this patch, because of unique and significant complications with how Dalaran works, we had to make a decision to allow all or none in Dalaran.

We intend to sort this out entirely in a future patch.

Doesn’t seem like they addressed the broken jump animation

So make a topic for that.
