Should they add flying mounts in the next expansion?

That would just encourage more botting, the majority of bots in WoW use flying mounts

You are able to play this game bot free by playing on an Xbox or Playstation 4. Playing with or without bots is a personal choice.

So you think in your mind that people on PC should have no expectation to play bot free. I will refrain from saying what I should say because I don't want to get banned from the forums.

Also pretty sure that I saw on here within past few days that consoles are NOT bot free.

Just did a Google and, well, there's bots.

As many of you are aware flying mounts are very popular and attractive. Many MMORPGs including this games main competitors such as World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn offer in-game flying mounts. Wouldn't it be wonderful to experience Tamriel from above aloft your legendary dragon mount? I sure think so. Imagine taking in the scenery from thousands of feet in the air while envious players watched you fly across the skies from above like Danaerys her self.

ENVIOUS?!

there isnt a single thign that is ahrd to get in ANY mmo atm, including this one.

AND if they added flying mounts you could 100% GARANTEE buy them from the store...so im nto sure WHO would be envious of anything..or even if there is or ever will be anythign ingame to be envious about..

They can't even do under water with this engine and you expect them to make a sky lol. Let's start with swimming before flying lol. It will never happen.

Sorry but no, I don't think flying mounts would be a good idea. Also I think they would need to be disabled in PVP for "fair play" Hover mounts though? Maybe.

A lot of people said that about FFXIV. You'll see.

This isn't FFXIV. You'll see when you load up the launcher.

You can't collect Gryphon feathers in Redguard, those are "Canah Feathers" which is an exotic bird from the Summerset Isles. Gryphon feathers are from TES II Daggerfall, and they're an ingredient used in "Slowfall potions".

If the game engine could support them then sure.

I'm not sure flying mounts would actually work here.

One thing we learned when housing was introduced is that the space the maps are built inside is kept to a minimum. The top of the map is just high enough for a character to stand on the highest point, but then you can't jump because there's no space above you. (For example in Mournoth Keep you can get up to the top of the roof, in Hunding's Palace it's the top of the lighthouse...whatever the tallest object in the map is that's the highest point.)

Now it's possible the open world maps are different, but it seems unlikely to me. Unless your players can fly it's a complete waste to have all that extra space above their heads and having a massive space for the map, even if it's empty, can seriously increase loading times.

Increasing the height of the maps after they've been made isn't easy either. I'm not talking about an invisible wall someone placed to block us that they could simply delete or move up, this is the literal edge of the map - if you've ever played Sim City or a similar game it's like that - there is nothing beyond that border and generally the only way to increase it is to re-create the map inside a bigger box.

So it's likely if we ever did get flying mounts they'd only be able to fly just above the ground, maybe 2 or 3 stories up depending on the map.

THIS. Youre 100% correct

White wabbit

No as you wouldn't be able to use them in PvP as could fly straight into a keep

Runschei

No. Oh god no please don't

Zagnut123Zagnut123

Don't feed this troll ppl please stop.

red_emu

There are no flying mounts in Elder Scrolls Lore. Never have been, never will be.

Do I want them? NO

teiselaise

That would be a massive change in the rendering unless you want it to look like trash, the maps are also too small, it would be even easier to get out of the map and the map would otherwise feel really cramped.

Edit* By otherwise I mean invincible walls around the map

Ilithyania

if not free fly due to renedring etc.

maybe hoover 5 m in the air ?

Sinolai

Not gonna happen. this game has too many invisible walls.

So did FFXIV and they made new zones for flying only.

BlackSparrow

On top of what others have been saying about the game being designed for terrestrial travel... there are not nearly enough large flying creatures in lore to make this interesting. There's, what, cliff racers and dragons, the latter of which are considered extinct in this time period? That's not nearly enough to give the variety that they'd want in a flying mount system.

Imagine a whole zerg flying from one keep to the next.

So no.

GreenhaloX

Yes.. yes.. and more yes! Where is my dragon mount?? I'll even settle for a hovering one. At least we're getting closer with having an actual dragon non-combat pet with the bone one, but, I can't go around with a flying bones following me.

Flying mounts; short answer, NO.

Longer, detailed answer, Hell, no way. Do a few searches; the devs explained why no flying mounts quite a while ago. Even a Loremaster post about it; https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/25447 second one. And a flashback to 2015, the mounts people want in game. https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/188079/new-eso-mount-wish-list/p1

Please, speak for yourself only. "Everyone" doesn't like griffins. Yes, its a nice picture. As a mount in game, no thank you.

Would love flying mounts in eso, unfortunately the engine they chose to use is extremely limited and would require a complete overhaul of said engine.

This is a reoccurring subject, oftentimes met with the same, go play games that have them already, they'll ruin my immersion, unfair advantage in pvp, etc etc.

Be prepared for it all and make note, you'll be wasting your time trying to have a real discussion with any of these types of responses. Can't decide which group is worse, the lore players who can't phantom that lore in a videogame shouldn't dictate anything because lore can be changed, or the PvP players who believe the entire game should revolve around them, despite the easiest solution to flying mounts in cyri would be to have them disabled like pets and assistants are.

Anywho, not gonna happen unless they rebuild/replace the engine which is extremely unlikely and costly so all sentiments, positive or negative are moot.
