Should they add flying mounts in the next expansion?

sylviermoone✭✭✭✭✭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.
For those that weren't here or don't remember the old wayshrine bug
Plenty of room for some flying

✭✭✭The zones of ESO are to small for flying mounts.
Even games witch huge zones like Vanguard felt small as soon as flying mounts were released. No, flying mounts look fun but i rather have to explore on foot/horseback so it actually feels like a big world.
Also with flying mounts some dangerous zones can to easily be skipped and shortcuts can be taken by those flying mounts. And the world of ESO would generate a load of errors because the maps are not build for it.٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶
"I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."0 -
knaveofengland✭✭✭Knowledge you have taken many players from thier comfort zones , and we all know what that brings ,yes you are right flying mounts would be cool . , we allready have them as pets and summons that fly , so it would fit in , lots of work for the devs .
i would love mounted combat , just go play mount and blade with a horse + lance its good , even not mounted with a spear can stop horeses in thier tracks .
games must give the best of everything , as we demand it with our cash .1 -
Chaos2088✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭There are a lot of no's....
We are getting a baby gryffon as a pet, might get a gryffon as a mount and it would be stupid if we got one that couldn't fly......
Would be hilarious however if it didn't and people were jumping off cliffs on the mount to try....@Chaos2088 PC EU Server | AD-PvP0 -
Orticia✭✭✭✭true flying,... no. Illusion of flying (hoovering above ground, though seeing the sorc flappy pet that can be annoying too as they block views and all that) and mounts that look like they could fly (like a gryphon)... sure.
True flying would probably need extensive work in the existing maps, time better spend elsewhere. And after the novelty wear off flying mounts basically just make the world smaller, insignificant and will make exploration and a lot of quests pointlessly easy and fast. Enough world to easy complaints already.Edited by Orticia on March 27, 2018 8:03AM0 -
LuckyLuke✭✭✭A lot of players scared of flying lol, and making poor excuses for rooting the game into the ground. Sounds like a bunch of wood elves.2 -

✭Their maps are absolutely not designed for that. No.Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 10 years. 7 paid expansions. 22 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the vast majority of this game.

✭✭✭✭If they add flying mounts Ill unsubscribe. I dislike that sort of bs and it would break the game completely.
Even hovering mounts would be gamebreaking, since they would not get slowed by terrain bumps and similar, making them superior to any we have atm.0 -
Orjix✭✭✭✭
Yeah, I'd rather not move to a platform with worse performance, where non of my friends are, where I can't have add-ons, and where I can't use a mouse and keyboard. People always complain that "move to pc"isnt a child solution but it works in reverse as well. But if you want flying mounts that bad you'd be willing to sacrifice 1/3 of the players for it and tell them to move to a different platform (which they may not own) is just foolish0 -
dennissomb16_ESO✭✭✭✭✭As much as I like flying in WoW (when I actually can) I would actually vote no to flying. Over the years WoW has restricted flying more and more with each expansion so players have to play through all the hard work they put into actually developing the world.
In the end flying simply makes it to easy to bypass so much of the game that I think it hurts games more then it adds anything positive2 -
