Mounts everywhere day.

One random day a year, mounts become usable everywhere. Could be interesting..

Its also called server crashed day

Or "Get your f*cking Behemoth out of that NPC/ the summoning bell" day

Can't wait to see a line of whales and phoenixes choking Eulmore.

It's actually sad how negative you lot are. Shooting the guy down without hesitation, that's now how progress is made. But anyways, OP I think this could be pretty tight is implemented right. Having little mini-events that go on in the game would be an awesome addition and really help to breathe more life into the game.

I don't think it's "negative" to immediately point out the obvious server strain issues or how players will immediately abuse the feature in order to make others have a bad day. I mean, I have slight lag in a player-filled Eulmore right now with a god PC and amazing internet. I feel bad for people who play on consoles or potato PC's.

Every time I go back to Idyllshire for something I'm reminded how grateful I am that the newer cities don't allow mounts so there's not much to hesitate for, I really dislike mounted cities. It's not even about lag for me, it's just the aesthetics. It doesn't belong in the building.

The idea to allow for it isn't one I'd enjoy and for reasons others have said would probably mean having to avoid cities entirely for that day (whenever it happens to be, since it would be "random").

I'm all for micro-holidays but this sounds like a mini nightmare to me, personally.

As a former WoW player, I remember what it's like having huge mounts everywhere. Quest givers buried under kodos. Gathering nodes blocked by mammoths. Limited holiday events choked by proto-drakes. No thanks.

But that's not all that can be said about it. The fact that someone's mind immediately jumps to possible downsides of the suggestion at hand is what makes them come off as negative. I didn't even see anyone try to name possible pros of it, only cons. Hahaha imagine if that's how the world acted anytime a new idea was introduced,

"What??? Cars? NO THANKS. Horses are fine, Cars will require so much more work to maintain and are way more dangerous and so much more. Bad idea."

"What??? Xbox? NO THANKS. Microsoft should stick to computers and software. Video games will only lead to violence and will negatively influence our kids. Bad idea."

It mostly comes down to knowing how people on the internet tend to be. If there's a way for someone to troll people, then by the Twelve they will do it.

Ironically, that IS how people acted when cars started to become more accessible...

On Topic:

How many places are there where mounts aren't usable?

How many places would actually benefit from being able to use mounts?

Off the top of my head, I can only think of:

1) Duties, Gridania, Limsa Lominsa, Ul'dah, Ishgard, Eulmore, Crystarium inside Housing, Lyhe Mheg.

2) Ishgard, Lyhe Mheg. Maybe Ul'dah and Crystarium (They have annoying Aetherite placement vs the things you actually have to go to for stuff)

Yes, it was! And we can all see how wrong they were to think cars weren't a good idea!

Default keybind for your target filters is x on keyboard.
The default target filter settings is to click through all player characters.

So hold x and you click through everyone, including their mounts, and you will select whatever NPC or object you desire.

I'd rather it be mount combat day like riding on chocobos shooting people or cuting off their heads and stuff than just being get on a mount in town day.. Really mount combat needs to be a thing thats used ;p

Sounds like Perfect World. They had to fix that by making it where all you gotta do is (if I remember right) hold on of the shift keys to select the NPC under the sea of mounts/players.

It wouldn't hurt for them to add mounts to the last expansion city in the X.1 patch. Right now Kugane is pretty empty and Ishgard was even worse before resto was added.

I'm just confused why the servers would crash.

Would also be a reason for players to complain after it was over.

I don't think the server would be crashing. During Stormblood there were usually more people in Rhalgr's Reach then there were in Ul'dah or Gridania, showing off their latest Doggo, Savage-Mount or whatever. Also they could always make instances. If there would be too many people with mounts in a city: just split them.

That being said I don't really want mounts in most of the cities, but I could actually see them in Gridania. Every time I'm visiting Jonathas I just wish I could ride a mount there.
