Wanted: Dismount on attack.

I have to say this would be a welcome change for me. But if it doesn't change it's not a huge deal either. Irritating at times yes. But not a game breaker.

Horrible idea, imagine running through a field and getting hit by ranged monster and not able to mount back up. Nothing but annoyance to those traveling by land

Except for some unusual cases where quest NPCs have been placed too close to FATEs, talking to an NPC is not a dangerous activity, and if you autodismount because you talked to the wrong NPC, you can remount immediately and be on your way to find the correct NPC. If you autodismount because you unintentionally hit an attack button and engaged a mob you didn't want to engage, you cannot remount immediately. Requiring you to explicitly dismount before attacking is a safety feature to prevent this, and it also gives you that brief moment between when you press the draw/sheathe/dismount button and the time you activate your attack to realize that you don't actually want to attack and you can remount instead of engaging. NPC interaction does not need this protection in most cases.

we can start with "not dismount while talking to npc" first

if they finally apply that, THEN we can start talking about your request lol

Fair enough.

It is still a feature I would support but I can see why some people would worry now.

This sounds great, until you can't see npcs at all because people are mounted on the giant novelty mounts and npcs just disappear.

---

Am guessing they didn't read the OP and though the OP was suggesting the daze dismount mechanic from wow

It seems other people in the thread are doing the same. OP is asking for an attack FROM YOU to dismount you. So that you do not have to manually dismount, and then start attacking.

No I want to be able to flee the agro if I don’t wish to fight.

No, it's the opposite. Dismount when YOU attack something, not when something attacks you.

God people replying to this thread don't know how to read. We're not talking about being dismounted by mobs here.

Or we could ask for a nice QoL feature for a game that we pay monthly to play

It should only dismount if YOU attack.

Not if u get aggro.

I'm genuinely uncertain why some users on this forum assume literally any feedback about something they liked from another game is just trolling, this is such a innoculous post about an option many people enjoy in another game and we're over here like "Stop making it like X" when it would do 0 to harm the game in the long run


Why?

Try manual breathing. Stop being lazy and asking your body do it for you! :P

The desire of convenience leads to quality of life improvement. Why do it in 2 butons when you can do with just one? You may not feel want it now, but if it is ever get implemented, you will also one of people who benefits from it.

This would be nice.

On controller, if you have already highlighted your target, this locks on rather than dismounting you. That is my one complaint.

We're not playing games to be productive.

just delete mount, problem solved, instead of mount, now our sprint is equal to mount speed and unlimited duration, no idea about flying though, just put swimming animation on it i guess.

no but at least it auto dismounts you when talking to an npc, so why not when entering combat?

No one misses it, no one wanted it, it is and was a way to extend playtime by having to fight every useless, worthless speedbump mob. Also you cant attack mounted.

So.

NO.

I suggest reading full text first instead of reading half (of less) of sentence and jumping to conclusions.

What is asked is that if YOU press action key when you are mounted, you will dismount, not "you dismount if you are attacked". 2 different concepts

It also auto dismounts you when you click a gathering node.

You are stealthed while gathering, so autodismounting to gather is safe.

We're talking about auto dismounting when attacking a mob here. Who the hell cares if it's "safe" if you're making the choise to attack something?

Sheesh, people need to read proper.
I support the idea. Got used to it back in SWTOR, it looked nice to pretend to jump on the enemy from a mount and it saves unnecesary clicks. God knows we have to many of them already (looking at you, retainers).

Thanks for the tip. I too found the lack of dismount on attack mildly annoying and its nice to know there's another option. I wouldn't call it game breaking or anything but this is a cool bit of info. :)

Z, but still not as fluid as just riding up and attacking.

Yes, please.

Yes please, would love this as an option!

Besides my want for a toggle run animation change for all races, this also would be much appreciated if made possible.

It's a simple QoL adjustment, and I'm 100% all for it.

As long as it's a toggle, I don't see the harm in having this. I personally would get annoyed if every time I'm going through a new zone without having flying unlocked, and get a little too close to something just to get smacked while I'm trying to get to point B and be forced to either run far enough away to be able to remount, or have to kill the thing to do so.

Gotta say it again, because it has to hit home!!!

10000% support this idea, please implement SE

ty :)

I love this thread. It's a study in reading comprehension.
