meatboll

i mean，we have cliff now，so can we ride it？

BrianDavion

given that for the last 2 expansons of WOW Blizzard's been trying their damnedest to hobble flying, I'm gonna guess no

Id really like to be able to strap a harpy to each foot, and sort of sky surf/fly.

We won't get flying mounts for the same reason Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms didn't have flying until Cataclysm: the world isn't built for it.

I love flying in WoW, and I'd love to have flying mounts in ESO, but there's not really a need for it, and the amount of time and effort it would take for them to redesign the world to account for it would be incredibly not worth it.

I meant to edit and made a new post instead, what the heck.

Can we get a working game first

oMrRust

No. Absolutely NO.
Do not bring flying mounts to ESO
I wouldn't want it turning like Tera or WoW.
At least we got something goofy like the spider mount..

Aliyavana

No, flying sucks

idk

Besides that I think devs have said no, it would take a new design, lots of coding, for the mount to work as OP seems to desire.

Now, if you could find a rideable creature that merely hovers a few feet off the ground, and doesn't fly per se, then that might be do-able.

However, in all my observations of the flora and fauna of Tamriel, there is to my knowledge no such creature.

Uh netch?

The devs are trying to fix the game, not create more problems for it, which this would do. Also, whats the point of having a flying mount? You won't see any of the mats if your flying too high, which would suck.

EramTheLiar

Nevermind that I want a silt strider mount/house.

Tasear

First we need sky expansion to allow for this.

Yes, not only the redesign but also the zone gates you have to pass to load you on an new server.
With the wayshrines flying would not give an long distance speed benefit as you anyway would get the zone load.
Only benefit would be to avoid enemies and terrain on overland questing, latest would be an benefit in very rugged places but overall pretty pointless

You can literally teleport to every damn inch of the world. Wtf you need to fly around for? It would only serve the purpose of having a better view of stuff.. Also you would have to dismount everytime you leave a zone because its not open world enough....

Zalicius

I wouldn't mind a mount that hovers or flies just a few feet from the ground, but I don't want anything silly like mounts flying over mountains.

CaffeinatedMayhem

No.

Ghettokid

Flying Orcs is what we want.

Synfaer

They can't even keep land bound people from entering areas they should not be, imagine the chaos when they all take flight...

Hopefully not. Rich said the game wasn't built with flying in mind. If you do a search for "flying mounts" you find at least 75 pages of topics about it.

Personal opinion; it would totally ruin the game. Why bother to fight when you can fly over enemies? How many quests will glitch if you bypass the pathing triggers? Even without the added clutter and possible lag with dozens of flying mounts crowded in some areas. No thanks.

Could you imagine if they did do it, more to the point imagine if cyro had flying mounts.

Sooooooooooooooooo many exploits would come out of it.

This World will be too Perfect then.
If you know what I mean

Flying is almost better then running mounts, so that might be a bad idea, but a glider would be more unique, and not take away the role of a ground based mount.

Please, PLEASE NO! Any game that did not design the origional game with flying, should not introduce it later and breake content.

You want fast, use the WP system. The only reason to fly is to skip over content, which in turn makes you eventualy want to skip most or all content until your destination. This makes all previous content irrelevant.

Additionaly its incredibly intrusive in large population areas. Instead of 6ft tall players and 8ft tall mounts. You now have flocks of 20-30ft winged things hovering overhead or crowding out vendors.

Then there is how it would destabalize pvp. Cyrodilli would be a real treat if a zerg could fly over the walls. Or then you have to disable flying in pvp. Then players *** that its not fair to disable.

Their is also the lore argument. Aside from the dragons that awaken in elder scrolls 5. There isn't anything big enough to actualy fly around on.

Please, PLEASE NO flying

ESO needs attention in many areas...

FLYING MOUNTS IS NOT ONE OF THEM!

No offense intended, but please let ZOS work on fixing the things they NEED to...

Before this FLUFF.

It's a strong franchise with a lot of up-side...give them time to see it through, before we jump down the "RABBIT HOLE"


As someone who has been around since the start....they ARE getting better.

They just have more important things to worry about then fluff right now

Jamascus

The only valid point against them is the fear the devs will break the game worse with it's implementation. If we knew for sure it would not break anything, go for it.

Aerial fights in Cryodiil. Lets get it done.
