Flying mounts for new zones. Yay or nay?

todokete

I would love to see new zones with flying mounts. Like Skyrim with dragons. It's possible in Skyrim so it's not against the lore.

Vildebill

It looks cool and all but the game isn't designed to be able to leave the map, not even go in certain locations, so I really doubt it would be implemented.

Tommy_The_Gun

I would much more prefer underwater content.

idk

I understand some are new to the game or do not keep track of information coming from Zos so I will repeat their message.

There will never be flying mounts in ESO. Never. They did not design the game for flying mounts and it would take a lot of work to put the missing axis into the game. They do not think the effort it worth it.

Flying mounts destroy quest design, bypass content, create endless headaches for game developers (ask Blizzard), add nothing to gameplay, and were available in only a single TES title in twenty five years, and even then was limited to running a circle over a single point on the map.

So... no.

I'll add a yawn to the nay.

Khamira (briefly) rides a dragon in the new trailer, if a cat can do it, we want flying too!

Capes are impossible to implement due to the game engine but flying mounts are OK?
I don't think so.

A Dragon gave permission to the Dragonborn to be carried around =/= everyone and their cousin jumping on a Gryphon to do their daily writs in Rimmen.

ZOS has said it isn't possible to do on their engine so no real use talking about it.

In an ideal world, yes and I think it would actually be really cool, but this game can barely function as is. Flying mounts would just add another mapping/spatial calculation to the already trembling patchwork of messy code, and the whole thing would likely just crumble.

Wolfpaw

Only if I can Top Gun players like I used to on my Boomkin.

Actual "flying" mounts are an absolute no in this game.

There is only one way something loosely similar to "flying mounts" could ever work in ESO, and that is to make them function as an assistant (like the merchant/banker) which functions as a free wayshrine. The summon restrictions would have to combine the summon restrictions for other assistants (no Cyrodiil) and mounts (no indoors, no dungeons, etc). Throw in a mounting and take-off animation and then go straight to the load screen. And let it be used as a furnishing.

Other than that, no. No part of this game has ever been designed for it, it would suck to have such a function restricted to new zones, and it would cause the design of those new zones to suck. This game just isn't made for it.

It’s crazy people ask for this kind of thing. Are we playing the same game? Do you not experience the blue screens/ crashes and lag like everyone else? They have three huge flying dragons in Elsweyr and that just about broke the game. Now imagine how awful this game would be if everyone could fly.....

if u wanna go far from reality ok

Commancho

Yes pls add flying mounts to crownstore exslusively and then allow to use them in Cyrodiil.

Red_Feather

Nay

I like hard to find secrets and the flying hurts that. Wish we had a better jump and mantle system and could climb stuff.

Like this!

do you WANT this game to explode?

Ackwalan

For the people saying, never will happen. Buying skyshards and maxing skill lines in crown store was also a "never will happen".

Rich Lambert also said there would never be dragons in ESO... and 5 years later ESO has dragons. Their words do not have much value.

Dragons did not involve changing the game engine.
ESO is a horizontal based game. Vertical moment is not possible with this engine, thus, no flying on mounts.
Plus, no flying on dragons unless you are a dragonborn, which we are not, and the AD Griffon riders, which are few, and we are not also. So lore say's no too.

Just my 2 drakes...
Huzzah!

I'd rather have underwater content.

I never felt like wanting to fly in ESO, although it would be interesting to see some places from above. But no, not all the time.

Sure, riding dragons in Skyrim was cool, but flying in ESO... Would break immersion for me.

I wish for one thing though: less stupid mountains which you can not pass unless you take a big circle around to get from A to B.

"It's possible in Skyrim so it's not agains the lore." Well go play Skyrim then, because I don't think you get "the lore".
