I miss my unicorn friend.
She was with me every single day from the moment I obtained 30 white mage until the day I unlocked flying in heavensward. After that I just didn't have many opportunities to use her anymore. I've unlocked and purchased many other mounts, but it just isn't the same without her.
But things can change! We have so many mounts which look outlandish in the air. Goobbues, elephants, behemoth, even a rocket powered tortoise. Next to them a magical creature like a unicorn skipping through the sky makes much more sense. If they can do it, so can my little friend, and I think I've worked out how.
Behold!

The image is a bit rough, but you get the idea. There would be no need to change the unicorns looks, just have her run through the sky on a rainbow trail, the same way fenrir runs on particles of ice. The trail wouldn't have to be very long either, it could fade away just behind. It would also match the white mage spells very well, as some of them have rainbow effects in them. And it looks fabulous.
Pretty please SE, I've been a very good lalafell all year. ^^

I've never understood why the Garuda, and Ramu horses can't fly...

10-03-2018, 03:03 PMLumivyoryWe were told a long time ago that all ponies will be able to fly but for some reason they still don'tQuote:

It's a real shame because the primal ponies have some great music.

The real shame is that the flying animation is basically already finished since 3.1: They can just copypaste the animations of the Pegasus mount, because it uses the same base model.
-
10-03-2018, 10:26 PMAmalahRoseYeah that's true, they have the skeleton available already.Quote:

pretty sure it's probably just a matter of dev time to add all that stuff to the other mounts. now that they're starting from the beginning by adding flying to goobue and behemoth they're just slowly working their way up the list.

Well when they get around to the unicorn I hope it's with a rainbow. I want this more than anything I've ever wanted in this game lol. ^^

Oh my thread got moved. On the one side that’s good because it means it’s been seen by somebody. But on the other it means this will probably get buried now. Fast moving forum. D:

Also have the mount music be "Always" by Erasure.
-
10-04-2018, 05:21 AMAmalahRose
I’d love that but I imagine there would be copyright issues lol.
-
10-04-2018, 06:14 AMKasmiyaWe have a flying behemoth and flying gobbue. I find it ridiculous that ponies can't fly yet. T-TQuote:

I am 100% behind this. I really want to have a flying unicorn. the only thing comparable is the mentor mount which is locked behind 2k mentor runs.
-
10-04-2018, 07:21 AMDevonEllwoodNo reason they can't be "inspired" by the song like with the King Moggle Mog and Sephirot themes. Rainbow unicorn would be funny regardless of the theme.Quote:

Envisions flying unicorn to the fat chocobo theme....
SERIOUSLY, WHY IS THIS NOT A THING?!! -

I can imagine the gay sky parades every June, and I love it!

If they made the unicorn fly then I'll be forced to level white mage to 30 for it. Seems like the easiest horse mount you can get that don't require high level farming or money to get.

I remember when I got this mount in 2013 and the flavour text on the horn said "Rainbow barding optional". I searched every forum, I searched the marketboard, I asked in multiple areas in shout, "How do I get the rainbow barding for my Unicorn?"
...Turns out the flavour text was just a troll. -
10-04-2018, 02:00 PMSenorPatty
Idk guys...
I mean yeah, part of me wants it to fly...
But the other part wants to bathe in its blood and gain eternal life.
Very conflicted here. -

Just allow all mounts to fly. I know in some cases that would be ridiculous but we already got a flying t-rex and behemoth. Let everyone enjoy any of their mounts in any area where they can be used.
I really wish I could use my blue pony in HW and SB zones : / -
10-05-2018, 02:26 AMAstarotha
a lot of it probably comes down to nonflying mounts dont have the same coding flying ones do, so recoding a mount to fly involves more testing and crossreference work to make sure updating the code doesnt do things like accidentally delete your mount from your list or make it not drop in the loot tables, especially if some of the coding of the game references line numbers instead of modules (ie the famous GOTO 10 function)
-
10-05-2018, 04:49 AMmiraidensetsu
HELL YES!!!! WE FUCKING NEED IT!!!
Please, Yoshi-P. I never asked you anything. Not even to give WHM some utility. I just ask you to give our unicorns the ability to fly. Please... -
10-05-2018, 07:11 PMAmalahRoseI wanted that barding too. Why must you toy with our hearts SE?Quote:

I am officially registering my vote for Fabulous Flying Unicorn, complete with sparkles, glitter, and rainbows. The accompanying music must be equally fabulous. We need this now.
:D -

The whole “it doesn’t make sense” thing has been thrown out of the window since they did the farting turtle.... and that has been a while now. Yeah all mounts should fly. Period.

I love your concept art, it would be really cool to have in-game I hope they make it like that.

I want a way to reclaim my unicorn, when I first got it I threw out the whistle not knowing what to do with it and now can never have it unless they allow it to be reclaimed.
-
10-06-2018, 12:58 AMAmalahRoseThat really sucks, I hope they add a way for you to get it back. They should add mount and minion quest rewards to the calamity salvager incase that sort of thing happens. :(Quote:
