The title pretty much says it all. I remember a long time ago I heard that the dev team was working on it thinking about a reasonable way to make 'em fly. I haven't heard anything about It since.
It demands a lot of work and time to get the mount and we're limited to use it only on the ground. Am I alone on wishing them to fly (and dive in SB)?
Will Tank Mounts ever fly?

They could just put the nimbus cloud from the chinese version under the legs of the mount and call it a day...xD

Personally I think new mount rewards with a lot more detail, that can fly, would be better then making the so-so quality ones we have now fly. But that's just my opinion. ^^;

They should give us something since SAM is DPS

02-26-2017, 11:59 AMStarRosieWell, there's a clear joke there. '3' The turtle is referencing Gamera, yeah it looks derp as hell but that reference and how silly it looks makes that turtle my favorite mount.Quote:

It's easy just build a harness for the tank mounts that are attached to a flock of healers spaming their heals while at the same time flying for some reason, if we're making something's that isn't suppose to fly, let's make it funny at least

To people who are saying things arent suposed to fly, you are playing a fantasy game , we will breath underwater because "magic" in SB ....i mean...
If you want a realistic game this one isn't for you, with the cat people , flying turtles, its funny, if you don't like those mounts don't use them, easy.
To OP , I 100% agree, it would be awesome fly with those mounts, pld mount absolutely majestic -

Well im actually wondering too when they gonna implement it. In the German livestream they said " we are working on flying Tank mounts" and that was like half a year ago?

I would actually like new tank mounts, I feel like SB will need a new tier to the achievements considering that everyone is freaking out about a shortage of tanks, and a lot of people already have the current tank mounts. Maybe for 500 each we can get a new mount that can fly and swim in a way that makes sense.

You don't have a lack of tanks in premade groups either. You have a large lack of tanks in Duty Finder pugs, because Duty Finder pugs are fickle at the best of times, but the achievement doesn't even give credit for that, let alone require it.Quote:

Personally I would like to see new Tank mounts that are more visually designed as being able to fly.
Not all mounts needs to fly

If it gets real bad they can just make new mounts except for instead of focusing on endgame focus on where tanks are needed the most which is non-premade groups in the duty finder.

An idea I had for new mounts for tanks. Giant flying weapons! (More of a joke then anything.)
PLD: A giant shield with a sword running along under it with the bottom of the shield and tip of the sword pointed forward. The PLD stands on the back of the shield as it flies.
WAR: A large double headed axe with the axe head forward and the shaft sticking out behind it. The WAR stands on the flat side of the axe head as it flies.
DRK: A large great sword with the tip of the sword pointed forward. The DRK stands on the flat side of the blade as it flies.
In all cases they stand with one foot forward and one a bit back, much like a skateboard, as they fly to give it a more action-like feel to the motions. -
