    Wow just removed flying, they sell gold now too, just sayin ;)

    Again show me a flying mount in TES lore during this period. Show me a flying mount in TES in any period other than a Dragon Born. Which was either 100's of years earlier or a thousand years latter.

    I used to track where I'd been in Morrowind by all the dead cliffracers on the ground. They did wonders for leveling my marksman skills.

    Never once did I see any cliffracer that had a saddle and bridle. They were the equivalent of flying skeevers, not mounts.

    Just saying it was one of the few flying critters that could possibly be used. Don't get me wrong, I'm still firmly rooted in the opposition to flying mounts. :)

    Sure, if they wanted to lose the other 78% of the player base.
    I am not spending a single penny on the game until changes are made to the game that I want to see.
    1) Remove having to be in a guild to sell items to other players at a kiosk.
    2) Cosmetic modding for armor and clothing.
    3) Difficulty slider.
    4) Fully customizable player housing that isn't tied to anything in the game other than having the correct resources and enough gold to build. Don't tie it to PvP, guild membership, or anything at all. Oh, make it instanced so as not to take up world map space, too. Zeni screwed this one up already.
    Any /one/ of these things implemented would get me spending again, maybe even subbing.

    Yes, again with the lore, since Tamrielic Lore is THE base core to every TES game since 1994. You want flying mounts, thats cool, play WoW. Yes, they went B2P, but it was to get consoles launched and the problems with Microsoft not playing nice with Sony, not from feedback. But I really doubt they will throw out 20+ years of established lore. The back lash would be horrendous from the core fan base and No to dragons also. If you want a dragon, wait 948 years, they will be back then.

    your only thinking just of the small amount of people on the forum, and not about all the people that play and don't come on the forum.

    Yeah, because I'm sure everyone who doesn't come on the forums has the exact same opinion as you! That's much more likely than the idea that their opinions may be split in similar proportions to the opinions of the other players who are just like them except for the fact that they come to the forums.

    And no, a lot of people won't just live with it if flying mounts are introduced. A lot of people will quit the game and go back to single player TES games.

ZOS put soooooo much detail and work into this world and flying mounts would make it so you dont notice all the perfect little artful details. They will NEVER add something as dumb as flying mounts. i hope to malacath they dont.

    I would love a flying mount, but I doubt this game engine can support it. All the zones have skyboxes and invisible walls everywhere.
    Really we do it without like, the musical instruments. This is the only musical: the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth. Right? The brain, more important than the mouth, is the brain. The brain is much more important.

    The biggest reason against it is likely technological limitations, though.

    Even something that hovers off the ground would require new animations and physics. The latter being the more difficult part, as it would make no sense to take fall damage without hitting the ground.

    Wait you DID play Skyrim right?

    I don't think Physics were ever really Bethesda's strongpoint...

    Oh.

    My.

    GOD.

    The level of "I'm-going-to-take-my-toys-and-go-home-if-this-ever-happens" is UN. REAL.

    While I wouldn't mind flying mounts, I'm perfectly happy with the way the game is now. If there's a good reason NOT to add them, I don't mind being convinced of that, either.

    What I would REALLY like, though, is the ability to dive under the water. Not new underwater content; just the ability to go under what we already have. To me, the slaughterfish gimmick really takes away from suspenion of disbelief, particularly in Cyrodiil.

    Back to flying, though. I wouldn't mind the Spellcraft system introducing a LIMITED levitation spell. I really miss those from Morrowind...

    Or maybe even a double jump that we could buff through the Champion System.

    Ah, well. That's my rambling pair of Septims...

    Wow just removed flying, they sell gold now too, just sayin ;)

    So because other mainstream MMORPG's do it, this one should?

    Lol you think this is a mainstream mmo?
    Those games are pretty successful was my point.
    Flying "air combat " is trending.
    Other point was the correction about wow.cheers.

    Destiny doesnt have a chat box, eso just lost theirs.
    I thought we wanted mainstream?
    20 mill box sales cant be wrong rofl

    We do want mainstream. But mainstream doesn't mean it has to be a WOW-clone. It doesn't mean we need some idiotic time-sink garrison to manage. It also doesn't mean we need to allow bots to overrun the zones.

    Where the hell is this mentality coming from? Since when do you have to be #1 to be successful?

    Lol wow clone is horrible example, as i said earlier! They have REMOVED flying. Sooo youre just contradicting yourself with that 1.
    I havent seen a bot since 2014....if you see em report em i guess.oh wait i get, zone chat = a zone full of bots? Is that the connection?

    For better or worse this game and gw2 are super ssimilar (aside from new expansion ) and wouldnt call either a wow clone.

    Destiny has speeder tricks! We should get some cool fancy moves for when were riding our mounts too!
    Destiny has raids that can be soloed .....we should do that aswell..

    I honestly dont really care about flying mmounts, just sick of hearing how OPTIONAL play styles RUIN games lol.
    Well i walk everywhere GROUND mounts ruin mmos! We dont need em with wayshrines ..../-end devils advocate

    I'm really amused by how many people seem to think flying mounts would ruin the game. How exactly would flying destroy ESO? I don't see the big danger. Perhaps it could be a worry in Cyrodil...gates would be pretty useless there...but other than that I think it would be cool. Its not going to happen, because such an addition would require a huge amount of work, but I would buy one for sure. :)

    Would You Buy A Flying Mount If They Were To Come To ESO

    Yes because flying mounts could just end up how WoW does them.
    You must complete each zone before you can fly.
    You cannot fly in Cyrodiil. As cool as that would be it would just ruin the point of breaking through walls.

    Due to this game being so young and buggy there are bigger fish to fry.
    They would have to change mountains and borders.

    With how the game is now it just would no work.
  • gstewart0413b14_ESO
    No
    No, they are not in the cannon (ESO is before Skyrim, nuts [politically correct exclamation, you know what to substitute. Dragon mounts would be cool]). However, Morrowind did have a levitation spell that when your mage could restore magicka fast enough was a flight spell. And that is cannon.

    What are we even talking about here? What kind of flying mounts? There are no dragons, so what, unicorns? What is there that flies in ES other than dragons? Anything other than dragons would break lore...and for that matter, so would dragons. So, No, no flying mounts.
