    Slepnir still not flying?

    I read the Letter Q&A and they mentioned Fenrir and the three tank mounts flying, but still no word of Slepnir flying. Why isn't this happening yet? I'm a little irritated that the mount I spent real money on is only useful in the ARR areas.

    I know they had originally said that Slepnir and the various primal mounts would fly eventually but have not heard anything in some time on that. I was surprised that we did not get flying primal ponies when the turtle gained flight.

    The keyword here is, eventually. They probably have those feature in their calendar, but it is not their priority.

    How can an item bought off the Store not be a priority? It would generate more sales if it works in HW.

    Considering its a paid mount, it should receive each and every major current and future mounts features that they can get. Simply to justify its price.

    Currently Sleipnir is missing more than one, heres all the mounts features and those from Sleipnir:
    - Unique music, yes.
    - Flight, no.
    - Mount action, no.
    - Carry two players, no. ( But that makes sense )

    Anyway, you get the point.
    "Free" mounts are getting the flight treatment but not those we actually spend extra money to get ? ( Ok i have received mine as a gift but still ) That's stupid, because it would certainly boost its sales knowing that Sleipnir could be used in HW areas.

    Sleipnir can fly in myth, so yes to that one. Not everything has to fly, but there are plenty that make sense when you look at their inspirations.

    No - but most people spend the majority of their time in Heavensward zones now, and mounts which don't fly are used less. It's perfectly fine this way, but for a mount costing over £13 in real life money, it really should be flying.

    This. A lot of people spent $25 USD for something that is largely not going to be used. It's inexcusable.
