Flying mounts

What do you think will be possible in the future flying mounts in the game or not, and whether they are necessary? Movement speed on the locations now in my opinion is very low and it should increase, as flying mounts would allow faster to explore the world, but certainly make them so that they could not escape from pvp or mobs or other things and prohibit them from flying in the area, designed for getting there a different way, for example in the village of goblins in Shadowfen. Dungeons and Raids for obvious reasons should also be able to use without mounts.

    Upgrade your horse travel is fine. I never even use my horse except for the storage I think the running speed is perfect.

    I hope no AH I think the guild stores could work with a little tweaking. People haven't given them a chance to work. The game just released 2 days ago.

    I don't think flying mounts would fit the setting very well. Also I dislike them because you end up with everyone up in the sky, flying over all the beautiful zones instead of riding/running through them and actually experiencing everything properly.

    Upgrading existing ground mounts to run a little faster will do perfectly fine, I don't see the need for being able to fly at all.

    Only thing what is close enought for such purpose might be Netch, but that pobably wouldn't fit to lore so its better to keep flying mounties away from eso.

    Honestly , 2000 people (assuming each of us got a 4x500 guilds) , unless they are literally awesome in gathering stuff/producing , it is a small pool. Even more when we consider you can only post stuff in one guild/time , that means some guilds might not even see anything that great because people are posting in another ...

    What next? We will fight one another for a spot in a "good"trade guild to have the right to check the AH? Really?

    No thanks , i pass on all that. I support the good old AH , where i could check the prices and get what i needed without so much hassle, and i only needed to join the one guild i wanted to play with , not another 4 who are literally little more than shops i check the store while i ignore the vendor.

    Lorewise, we should all be able to levitate everywhere, since levitation wasn't banned until the third era, year 421, and ESO is set in the second era, year 582.

    I'm hoping there won't be any flying mounts, you can get long distances quick with the wayshrines. I rather like walking and exploring, finding dungeons and lorebooks and plants and M'aiq the Liar and skyshards and fishing holes and miscellaneous quests...

    But yeah, stilt striders would be awesome! Millions of players stilting across Tamriel on their own stilt strider! Hardly doable, though. *sad face*

    I will rather have an jump spell like I had in Morrowind, Jumping from the dock towards Vivec and overshoot the city is priceless.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    And dying when you land because your slowfall wore off before your jump. Stuff like that was awesome, like those super jump scrolls on that dead guy you find on the road.

    I'm thinking Picard should just teleport us anywhere we wish to go. I would quest so hard. Yes, I will make it so.

    No. Besides, it would probably be a nightmare to reprogram most of the areas (if they are not already prepared for flying mounts, which I doubt).

    Flying causes all kinds of balance problems. I'm willing to bet if you asked the wow devs they'll tell you they wish they hadn't introduced it.

    Woah, wait, nobody said anything about pink bunny mounts. I might change my mind if it were a flying pink bunny.

    Played Everquest 2.

    Flying panda-dragon-yuggoloth mounts all over the place. So tired of it.

    Elder Scrolls has always been a bit more down-to-earth than usual fantasy games. Horses are a valuable commodity, most people are peasants, and you have to maintain your armor or it falls apart.

    Lets keep that feeling, and not have flying pink teddy bear mounts.

    No, please. Flying mounts would cause all kinds of problems in Cyrodiil & for the rest of the game wayshrines & a horse is fast enough. IMO

    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.

    If they add them, they not only destroy the feel of the Elder Scrolls series, they will basically be requiring everyone to get one. Flying mounts look and feel ridiculous, and they kill exploration.

    I love flying mounts, in the games they're appropriate to. I think it would be a terrible idea for this game though.

    When are the pet battles coming?

    Seriously I am still laughing.... flying mounts, you cant be serious m8. One of the big destroyers of world pvp in wow were flying mounts, I just imagine little Timmy on his big dragon taking of from battle when he see´s 10 sharp orc axes coming his way.
