Request: Sleipnir mount rework

[dougff9]

You bought it knowing it is a ground mount. And now you want it to fly because you paid for it.
I think this is what Morzy mean.

I bought when flying mounts arent in game...

Same. Had I known the mount would never be updated, I would never have bought it. Currently it's my favorite mount, but I don't use him in the new zones because he doesn't fly.

[Beckett]

^ agreed.

Seriously. Your argument is pretty pathetic. You bought it for what it was, stop sitting here on the forum begging just because you can

Yes, but many people bought it thinking they would be able to use it in current content, forever. They kind of got robbed when Heavensward came out, and it turns out the mount they bought is now useless.

I don't have Slepnir, but I do have the primal ponies. Yes, it's great that Kirin can fly, but if I had known that I would only be able to use the rest of the horses for 1% of my playtime, I might not have bothered to get them. I'm sure people that bought Slepnir before flying mounts were introduced feel the same way.

No, you don't get it.

When you bought that mount, you knew exactly what you were getting. But now you're begging for more than you paid for just because u paid for it and feel entitled because you threw SE some money?

It's not about it costing something, it's ur attitude in ur OP

Also did u rlly just compare a microtransaction to a game??

You're being silly.

[Morzy]

You're being silly.

Silly sounds better than a lot of other things.

I'm surprised they have yet to make Sleipnir fly in FF14 since in past FF games and mythology Sleipnir is know to have the ability to fly.

We also know in FF14 Sleipnir is not a ordinary horse as he can even change his own "size" to accomodate the rider.

SE has been focused a lot on getting all the old mounts to fly through these updates lately.

They even have a concpet that suites Sleipnir flying animaton with Fenrir already. Just have to adjust the animation to have dark mists as Sleipnir flys since he is a warhorse of darkness.

[Jynx]

Look they sold you slepnir because they knew you would pay for it and that it wouldn't actually cost them any money to put into the game (Mount and most animations allready existing in the game)

They would have to do "Work" to make it fly so that's a no go. Buy a flying mount if you want to spend cash to fly!

[Normalizer]

I'm not sure about the missing leg, but IMO it will eventually fly. The question is where is sleipnir on the devs' priority list though :P

[TheGrimace]

Making it fly is fine. It's a magical creature that may not even be a horse, but could be taking the form of a horse to make its original rider appear more inconspicuous. Who knows what it truly is or if it's linked to Zantetsuken or Ragnarok or Urth or Allag or whatever. There's no lore actively preventing flight! Giving it magical flight powers makes more sense than the Adamantoise and Fenrir (which are both still awesome) so the only people arguing against this are just actively being grumps.

I'll step in for him and say that I bought it at a time that flying didn't exist. Now that we have flying, and Slepnir has been shown of being able to fly in this very game, there's zero reason for him not to. If they can go back and make Kirin, the turtle, and Fenrir fly, as well as go and alter the other three magitek mounts to have blasters, with the red and white ones being done after they were added to the cash shop, then Slepnir should have honestly been priority one because it was a paid mount. Plus, now that flight is a thing, having it able to fly makes the purchase that much more attractive for new customers.
