ahriman doesnt fly in hw...why?

i love hw i really do i am just disappointed that a mount that says its flying still only hovers on the ground where a fat chocobo easily flies

It's going to fly in 3.1, along with several other mounts.

Flying Adamantoise. #thedream

they will probally just add some effect so they all "fly" just think ahriman should of been able to fly alongside fat chocobo not much further down the track when they patch it so anything can "fly"

Why does it matter at this point? You asked for it to fly, and now it's going to fly. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Making the Ahriman and Bomb Palanquin fly might require tweaking the animation to make the flight look good, especially when moving up or down. They didn't get around to tweaking those animations in 3.0, because they were busy designing a variety of new mounts, so they planned to do that tweaking for 3.1.

Of course, that doesn't explain why the Gilded Magitek Armor can't shoot and the Cavalry Elbst can't spit water (like in the moonfaire 2014 event), since those animations are already in game for those specific models.

well funny you mention point you actually missed it my point was why does an already flying mount not fly when they already made groundbased mounts fly sure its great it will fly probally alongside horses and gobbues and gods know what else i just wanted to know what the reasoning was behind delaying it

you make some good points there didnt know the gilded didnt shoot whats the point in getting it at all if you dont have the flashy effects lol

Personally I would rather have my own wings. Heck I wouldn't mind a emote (drinking a red bull) that gives you wings or something like that. I don't care how they give me wings I just want to fly w/out a mount.
