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.

they probally will you just have to wear some red boots and fly around like astroboy lol

It could be for several reasons. They didn't have enough time to develop animations to transition from ground to flight, or they just didn't know people wanted it to fly until it was too late and they decided to bundle it in with 3.1. I think they already showed it in the live letter flying along with the Bomb mount, so they're just bundling it in with the other mounts.

Flying with SMN's AF2 outfit lol.

Because voidsent and logic dont mix.

I wonder if the ADS mount will fly?...

No I just want it skateboarding on the legacy board performing sick ollies from one floating island to the other.

I do not believe anyone is seriously expecting 100% of the mounts to fly.
They mentioned Kirin and I suppose the other primal horses, which isn't totally obscene. They're already running with magicks under their hooves, and reindeer flight isn't too far removed from unicorns and horses.
They did mention the Bomb Palanquin and the Ahriman mounts as well, they didn't mention the Logistics System (ADS) iirc. But they haven't said anything about any other mount. I'm not actually expecting to start skating around the air on my legacy goob or having my warbear sprout wings.

You can make some mounts fly within the realm of reason, such as the primal horses, ADS, or any other mount that works with airborne movement (granted they will need animation tweaks just considering how fast htey will have to move, as well as teh ascending/descending thing). Other things though, like a typical adamantoise or gobbue, is just pushing it when you're asking for it to fly. Even with fat chocobo it still has wings and it's basically just an obese chocobo (the latter being able to fly anyway)

Because you wish to edit the quote rather than clip it down, I have no idea if you're quoting my pro-flying post or anti-flying post!

Why not both?

Honestly on the side of flying ourselves, the goblins are already working on that tech (based on the ones in Brayflox hard and others) that have the wings, can't imagine why we wouldn't be able to get a "mount" that is just a set of wings that lets us glide on the ground while flying in HW content.

Confirmed 2.x mounts that will be able to fly (eventually)

Ahriman
All 6 Primal horses (not sure if Nightmare is going to or not)
Kirin
Bomb Chair
ADS
Fat Chocobo
Company Chocobo

May be another, but I think that's all confirmed at this point. Next batch to fly will be in 3.1.

Isn't that the choco that we have already, that does fly when you complete the quest?

Fat Chocobo also flies too. List was of 2.x mounts that were confirmed to be able to fly, not ones that still need to be able to fly

That turtle looking 2nd boss from Stone Vigil HM came falling from the sky, it had to get up there somehow!
