During the fanfest, QandA I think it was, Yoshida made a joke about ripping the wings off of pixies and putting them on your back to make a mount out of them.
Can we actually get Wing Mounts? I love winged races and this would be a good compromise to having a playable race with wings.

I can imagine the Lalafell embracing wings.
How could you ever stack them in a tower if they did? -

Keep that tat in F2P Korean MMOs, thanks.

Just imagine becoming bloodsworn with them, only to rip off their wings and fly away.

having wing mounts would make my experience as a scholar complete. I would make a macro using Dissipation, Aetherflow, and Mount.

I hope we get their wings as mounts, and we continue the trend of beast tribe outfits as rewards. ;)

I love how adding wings of any kind automatically draw comparisons to a ftp Korean mmo. Some people are just 0 fun.

Always felt that wol flight would be rhe natural progression to mounts.
Like, I was talking to a friend a few months ago and we talked about the idea of your character covering themselves in different colors and forms of aether as new "primal mounts" and legit flying around like dbz characters. -

No thanks.

Would be cool to have some wing like mounts, or even a jet-pack or rocket boots.
-
02-07-2019, 10:59 AMIscahThey didn't say anything about ripping wings off pixies. Just that wings might be a possible mount.Quote:

If the Pixies turn out to be the second coming of the Moogles, I'm for it. (The ripping their wings off bit, I mean).
In all seriousness though, rather than some gaudy looking wings keeping us afloat, if we're talking minimally assisted flight, I'd be more inclined to look to something like a jetpack.
Or just the ability to outright fly. The WoL is more or less already Superman, without the flying part. -
02-07-2019, 11:02 AMloreleidiangeloBikini tanks, cat girls, bunny suits, etc. are A-OK, but if we're talking BACK WINGS that's just taking it too far, my dude. Or something.Quote:

If it happens... First thing I think about when Male Roe or Male Highlander will do... -
02-07-2019, 12:32 PMBurningskullThey didn't say it. Yoshida did did the motions of ripping wings of the back of Koji and sticking them on himself. Sorry if by "made a joke" I inferred they vocally said something. It was just motions. Still a joke to me tho.Quote:

This would be a very cool and unique mount, I think it'd be fantastic. I hope they go through with it.

Yes please, Mr. Producer!...
That was my first thought when they mentioned the Pixies beast tribe, they are the perfect excuse to introduce fairy wings as their exclusive mount, I just hope they add some glow and a lot of stardust when moving around!...
The Pixies deity also gives me another idea, I hope the new Primal mounts are gorgeous giant butterflies or some other beautiful creatures with wings!... -

Only if we get a 1 winged mount that plays Sephiorths theme song fully

02-07-2019, 03:23 PMTransient_Shadow....How is this productive to the conversation at all? It's a niche request sure but no one's experience is being hindered by it being granted.Quote:

We already got the angel/demon outfits to the displeasure of a few individuals, so clearly the devs' decisions are not swayed by contrarians. Viera had opposition too and here it is. If there's anything you'd like the look of, just keep the requests coming!Quote:

As much as I personally dislike having wings added to characters, at this point in the game's life nearly all cohesive sense of aesthetic has gone out the window already. We have mounts being retconned to fly, mechanical vehicles without any attempt to match up their appearance to established in-world tech, outfits lifted directly from real life and shoved in with little to no lore reasoning. My experience with people who want wings for their characters is that they want to shove in others' face how SPECIAL and UNIQUE their character is which is why I don't care for it, but it's not like adding them can do any more damage to the lore that's barely hanging in by a thread at this point.
-
02-07-2019, 07:49 PMJandorThat mount is by far the worst thing in this game. I'm just glad that despite the player-base constantly requesting ridiculous and ugly stuff be added to the game, they rarely bother to actually use it once the novelty wears off.Quote:
