Is there anyone who picked this up that can comment on any changes compared to the normal Draught chocobo. Or is it just a red version and nothing more?

IIRC I think the amber one can actually fly, but the regular one can not. But not 100% sure, I need to go home and check when i get off work.

I want a chocobo that uses roller skates instead of running.

07-31-2015, 09:40 AMEvergreyKind of weird that they would not just make it fly at once, but perhaps later. Maybe they don't wanna implement a new flying one before the others they have "promised" can fly aswell. Equality hell yeah!Quote:

07-31-2015, 09:43 AMColorfulProbably because it doesn't already have a flying animation, not sure if they can just port over the normal sized chocobos one.Quote:

They've explained before that they don't want to create a situation where one player (who has not unlocked flying in a zone yet) can pair up with another player and be moved to locations that are not yet accessible for them. Sadly, that seems to imply the two-player mounts will never fly.

07-31-2015, 09:48 AMMilesSaintboroguhThen couldn't they just disable flying if you got another player with you?Quote:

07-31-2015, 11:04 PMNeridineLike airships they have planned? It's not that game breaking really. You still have to do quests to unlock all the currents including MSQ even if they get a lift to unlock some of the currents or whatever.Quote:

Hopefully they are just programming in checks to ensure both players can fly before allowing the draught mounts to take off.Quote:

As for being game breaking or not, that's ultimately the developer's call (and they've been clear about where they stand on this). I'm not saying there aren't better ways to do it, just pointing out why it is the way it is. It's never going to be a case of "oh, just turn on flying" for these chocobos, there's a lot more work than that which would need to be done first.Quote:

They should just make it so that it cant fly if the second person on it doesn't have flying unlocked for the map.
Explain it as something like.. "The winds are too rough for an inexperienced rider". I mean having a person on the back not knowing what they're doing and shaking all over the place while flying would be a problem. -

They aren't adding two-player flying mounts, because there is no way to dismount IN MID-AIR. Imagine if the person controlling the mount flew into the air and went AFK. You couldn't dismount as you would from a ground mount. You would be stuck in the air with no way to get down.
In WoW, you could actually dismount in mid-air, and fall all the way back down (usually killing yourself from fall damage). That isn't an option in FFXIV for flying mounts, so the passenger would literally be stuck unless they added in a parachute feature. -

Solution: Allow use of Return/Teleport while sitting in the passenger seat.
Problem: Solved. -
08-02-2015, 01:37 AMGunspecYeah, there are solutions. But they don't have them in yet, to my knowledge, and who knows if they will ever add them in. My gold magitek mount still doesn't have a cannon to shoot, and the Sahagin mount doesn't spit water yet. There are at least 9 mounts they are supposed to add flying to, and they are supposedly working on a flying mount roulette ability.Quote:

08-02-2015, 02:19 PMNoxiferActually, won't work until the ringporting person has 100% map exploration. Don't think the ringport target needs to have that, though.Quote:

Edit: Now that I think about it, it's possible the ringporting person ends up where the target took off. I've only teleported once (to Western Coerthas) and ended up by the aetheryte, so I figured that was always the case. Never tested it out, though. -
08-03-2015, 07:41 AMDittoYes, and it's completely impossible to create a feature like that. (If that even WAS the real reason. Protip: It's not)Quote:
