Unable to ride chocobos in town makes me facepalm.

[User201109011315]

the towns are NOT that big at all. chocobo in LL would be ridiculous. it's all small paths that go through buildings with the occasional area big enough around fountains and landings. seeing those birds run upstairs. UGH. grid would probably be the best place for them. it's at least outdoorsy. uldah's main street is the only other place it could fit but other than that, they are going to looked cramped in there, then multiply that by like 10 once you account other people. srsly imagine like 5 birds running up and down the stairs of LL.

They mentioned a solution to this in OP, lol.

The cities should remain as lag free as possible. I don't want griefers of any fashion any way either, which with no collision detection they probably wouldn't be able too. I'm just thinking about the lag of loading how ever many people in town who are on chocobos. Plus idk about you but I'm not going to summon a chocobo on limited time just to ride it around the city.

Build an overpass.

So you won't be able to ride chocobos in those enclosed areas. What's the conundrum you are struggling with?

I'm sure FFXIV players are more mature than that,

You must not read these forums very often.. lol

Good damn thing they're not allowing mounts in towns. That was the single most annoying thing in WoW. Having every inch of the road covered in seeing people with their obnoxious stupid mounts was incredibly annoying. Don't wanna see it in this game.

People that want to ride their chocobo in town. Are the same type of people who wait for a crowded elevator to go up one floor, when there's a perfectly good set of legs underneath them and a set of stairs.

Yes, it does seem odd you'll be teleported to out side of town when you rent a chocobo. But really, how many of use will need to rent one after the first day once we can fully sign up to a Grand Company? (Or am I the only one who's saved all their GC Seals so far?)

being teleported outside of town instead of running outside of town with your chocobo is the lazy option!

agreed

the chocobo should be dismiss only when you enter the building
