Being Forced Off Mounts Is Obnoxious

[grinkdaboy]

i think how mounts work in xiv is way more convenient than in wow. constant dismounts, dismount disorientation, dismounting while indoors

I'm okay with how it is, I just wish mounting didn't count as casting a spell. Not being able to mount while running is annoying.

Problem is, players can still park on top of an NPC without talking to it. One solution might be to make any player talking to an NPC remain mounted, but disappear from the view of all other players. I'd also apply this to Summoning Bells, which I iften find very hard to click when crowded.

Agreed, that is a problem (even though you can still target the NPC by some button-combo I forgot...), but saying "Well, its still happening, so why not make it worse?" just doesnt sound like a great argument to me... just because you can still have people on mounts next to the NPC doesnt mean they cant take meassures to reduce this number as much as possible, for example by dismounting you.

In Swtor (Star Wars: The Old Republic), there's a 5 dollar microtransaction that lets all characters on your account cast the mounting spell while moving. Totally worth the 5 bucks, and I'd spend it here too for that, lol.

Being able to cast the mount spell while running is one of those QoL things that feels sooo much better than it sounds. I struggle to get used to games without it! >=(

Seiorusly I really wish we could talk to NPCs without having to constantly bounce off of our mounts.

It used to be worse. You had to manually dismount before you could talk to NPCs. Be glad they changed at least that much.

Oh no...you have to push one more button in a game...which requires you to push buttons.

Well, to be fair, the number of clicks to do certain things on this game is pretty unnecessary.

You know what I'd like them to fix with mounts? Let me use items without having to manually dismount. If I must be unmounted to use the item, at least have it automatically dismount me when I try to use it, provided I'm on solid ground of course.

Been doing the Sylph beast tribe quests on my 2nd character and forgot how much I hated the Sylph quests first time through, one of the glaring problems being, as an example, having to manually dismount so i can throw morbol bile at those imperial soldiers...

Now that is textbook predatory microtransactions if I ever heard of one. How about no? We dont ever do that? It's a horrible business practice and is predatory.

You aren't going to enable a predator are you?

Remember the days when people were against MTX? Now we have people openly advocating for anti-consumer practices. =/

My understanding from the last time this type of thread came up is that you get dismounted so your character can use any scripted emotes that are not usable on mounts.
