Self powered flight as a "mount"

I'll gladly pay $25 for a self powered flight mount that allows you to hover off the ground. The animations are already there, just add a bit more and boom. Epic "mount". I have been wanting this because my sorcerer is a telvanni. Almost all Telvanni dunmer mages can fly...all except mine. :(

Lore wise, Telvanni peoples build their homes high up without stairs just because of that fact. If you arent a good enough mage, you cant have a home.

Come on ZoS. Make him finally one of the boys!

    Stop giving the money grabbers at ZOS ideas on how to get your money. It is taking away from game development.

    "Self powered" flight eh?

    ...

    Does that include the consumption of certain "gassy" substances? :p

    Since this could be used to get over some of the obstacles that the game has placed to restrict movement (usually for a good reason) this would require a major overhaul and rework of the world space to implement. Basically, Invisible walls would have to be added to more places than they are now, then rocks and cliffs would have to be restructured.

    Its not just a matter of creating a frame, adding some animations and textures to it and listing it in the store.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    How about having levitation spells in stead of mounts?

    I think you are over complicating this. It would be identical in function to a mount but instead of a horse model the player model would just be moved up a foot or so and have some sort of magical aura around the player.

    Uh...this has nothing to do with actual flying lol. It is just levitation. You are not moving up or downwards.

    You could just slot any gap closing charge and "wing" it.

    Flight mounts? Nope, too messy a can of worms.

    Floating mounts on the other hand... as long as they hover only a little off the ground, meaning it would only be animation and no real flight... sure!

    So many possibilities...

    Floating Broomstick mounts!
    Floating Carpent mounts!
    Floating Driftdisk mounts!
    Floating Throne mounts!
    Floating Cloud mounts!
    Floating Ice Wraith mounts!
    Floating Soapbubble mounts!

    I would rather pay a monthly sub (and I do) then have the re-skin team get larger ( and developers team get smaller) to cut-n-paste more fluff into the crown store.

    They would never allow actual flight. Hovering restricted to at most one or two feet off the surface MAYBE, but nothing more.

    Talked about this the other day with my bf. Wouldn't it be cool to have a low-flying mount? Something that fits in with the lore of ES. Flying harpie? Baby dragon mount? Definitely just hovering, not flying though.

    Harpies are too small to be ridden, and Baby Dragons? Heh. In order to stay lore friendly all we'd get is a Netch mount.

    This, in my opinion, should be the way mages sprint, they hover forward!, kinda like in Dbz. Activated when Max magicka> Max stamina. Also uses magicka as resource for sprinting!

    What a wonderful life it would be.

    I would LOVE flying mounts, even if they just hovered so much off the floor, it would add much fun to the game! Pegasus anyone?

    If you just want some type of hovering animation, They could just add it in as some sort of personality called like Spellmaster or something.

    I saw three Hags returning from their spawn point after apparently having given up on chasing some other player riding by that I didn't witness.

    All three were very tall and floating very vertical and erect without animation, and pretty speedy. It's hard to describe but it was hilarious looking as their pathing took them over rough terrain and they bobbed up and down over the contours of the landscape.

    How about one for vampires where the vampire turns into a bat or swarm of bats and moves at the speed relative to a mount.

    Maybe the vampire could turn into a large bat that hovers in the air and functions just like a mount.
