Random mount button only choosing ground mounts

[Allthemounts-area-52]

This has been happening to me off and on for weeks now. The LiteMount addon is the only thing I can do to get it to work properly. Where is the fix?

[Jaydeetoo-nagrand]

I have the same issue, for me it renders Steadyflying not worth using.

[Vinzklortho-deathwing]

I’ve been having this problem on and off and I think I just figured out what causes it for me. On my mage, if I teleport while in steady flight, I’ll only summon ground mounts. If I teleport while in sky riding then I’ll summon flying mounts again.

[Kotyonok-aerie-peak]

having same problem in Khaz Algar. No flying mounts will be summoned if using steady flight and random favorite.

[Backdoorpush-hyjal]

Happening to me too in TWW

[Boopumsnoots-dalaran]

Same issue here. When using steady flight, if Otterworldly Otter mount is favorited, it is the only one summoned. If it is not favorited, I will only get on ground mounts, unless I specifically select a flying mount from the journal.

Anyone have a clue? Only seems to happen on my boosted toon. Was thinking it was a glitch on a new boosted toon that never learned initial flying but that’s not it.

[Doomtoll-lothar]

Still having this issue on all of my characters randomly.

[Zaynah-dathremar (Zaynah)]

This is still an issue for me. It has NOT been resolved.

[Lauraberry-moon-guard]

Dealing with this as well!

[Vexria-wyrmrest-accord]

Happening to me as well. I change back and forth between flight styles and no change. My random mount button will only summon ground mounts while I am in flying zones such as Dornogal.

[Doomtoll-lothar]

Still happening and no response from Blizz.

[Motörcharge-bleeding-hollow]

Same thing here.

As this is a bug, it needs to be reported in Bug Report

Tech support is a player-to-player troubleshooting area, we can’t fix game bugs.

There are already plenty of posts about this issue in the Bug Report forum as a simple text search reveals.
Telling us that Technical Support is the wrong place to report this problem is not helpful when the issue has not been addressed and is being ignored in Bug Report forum as well.
Some topics from the Bug Report forum for reference:

Summon Random Favorite Mount does not work properly anymore

Pre-11.0.0, the Summon Random Favorite Mount would do two things if the favorite mounts contained only ground and traditional Steady Flight mounts in zones that did not support Skyriding: It would prefer mounts that support Steady Flight when making its selection Said Steady Flight mounts would actually fly Now, it chooses the mounts from the list in any order and the mounts do not consistently allow flight. Using the “Mount” button directly in the Mounts UI on the same mounts works properly. …

Summon Random Favorite Mount doesn't work after switching flight style

After Switching Flight Style, the Summon Random Favorite Mount will always summon Otterworldly Ottuk Carrier, even when I swap to skyriding mounts. I have 120 mounts on favorites, 71 of them are flying mounts. This means when I switch to Skyriding, I will need to either summon a specific mount or reload before summoning, because the Otterworldly Ottuk is a steady-flying only mount and I risk falling to my death on take-off.

Summon Random Mount not working in old flight mode

For various reasons, I prefer old flight, but now when I use my random mount button, it just summons my Otherworldly Otter. That’s the ONLY mount it will use, none of my other 642 mounts, just…that one.

Random Favorite Mount choosing Ground only in Flying Areas

The Summon Random Favorite Mount is broken. If you are using Steady Flight in an area where you can fly, it still defaults to any GROUND ONLY mounts and refuses to switch to a flying mount that is usable in the area. If you are in Skyriding, a Skyriding mount will be summoned. Please FIX THIS!!! Not everyone wants to use Skyriding 100% of the time and having to un-favorite my favorite ground mount is super lame! Correct this to be accurate and only default to ground mounts when in a ground mount…

Random Flying mount option only selecting Ground mounts when not in dragonflying

Random Favorite mount option will only select ground mounts when in steady flight mode. It’s just in the toggle as soon as dragonflight is re-enabled the summon option will work for all flying mounts.
