Mount update

Hi. I suggest that SE should fix their mount roulette button on the hotbar.

It is unabled for when the chocobo is released, although I find it pointless to have 2 buttons.

Do you also agree that mount roulette should automatically identify the chocobo if it is in the party and mount that instead of having 2 buttons on the hotbar?

What do you guys think?

yes
/10 chars

Yes please.

Yea would be really nice, small, QOL improvement. Hopefully its not to technically annoying and they can fit it in sometimes

I actually made a macro the other day for this. The macro goes:

Code:

---

/mount "Company Chocobo"
/mount "<Insert here>"

---

If not even adjusting the mount roulette to work as your asking, even if it could be used in a macro like the following:

Code:

---

/mount "Company Chocobo"
/mount "Mount Roulette"

---

You still get the error on your screen every time you use the macro that your chocobo is stabled but it doesn't really concern me. Or if you have your chocobo, you get an error saying you are already performing an action when it tries to summon the second mount.

Shouldn't the lines be reversed so it attempts the roulette first but if it can't it then goes to your GC chocobo?

I think his focus was more that he prefers the chocobo but doesn't want another button while it's in the stables.

edit: 'mount roulette' doesn't seem to work. Is there any command for it?
Nvm. action instead of mount needs to be used for roulette.

Code:

---

/macroicon "Mount roulette"
/ac "Mount Roulette"
/mount "Company Chocobo"

---

Yes please.

I think attempting to use any mount (or the roulette) should auto-detect when your companion's out and just use the company chocobo instead.

Or they should just let us mount any mount when our companion's out. Companion disappears when you mount anyway.

While I would certainly like to see this implemented, I feel compelled to tell you there's no need for two buttons on your bar.

When the GC chocobo is out, just right click on it and select Mount. When it's not out, use the roulette button. No big deal, really.

But it don't disappear. You sit on it.

I meant the 3D model. You sit on it after it disappears and reappears next to you. It's maybe a little lore/immersion breaking, but I'm just saying it's not like there's some complicated animated interaction that would be a technical hurdle to making it work.

This.

Yeah, I gave my chocobo preference. Can do it the other way around if you preference chocobo roulette. Doing it like I have though will only do roulette if your chocobo is stabled.

Also, the macroicons for mounts don't work. Would be nice to have this too.

For example:

Code:

---

/micon "Company Chocobo"

---

I did try it in my macro and it didn't work. Not exactly something important to have but if it's there, I'd use it.

/micon "Company Chocobo" mount

/micon defaults to only looking for actions (stuff used with /ac). Anything else that actually works with /micon will need its category (mount, pet, minion, gearset, etc.) specified.

Agreed, would be a great QoL change.

Thanks! Will try this later.

I would love for them to add the option for us to be able to select what mounts are in the roulette.
