With all the love for flying: Can we get a flying off option for us land-travelers?

Imagine taking quality of life ideas from their paying customers. They're not babies, they can accept or discard ideas themselves.

I dunno if you can call a "no fly" option a QoL thing (request would be the appropriate word), especially when you already have the option to choose not to fly.

The newer areas are designed around flying, to the point they have areas that cannot be accessed without it (and not just areas that are empty space, either), so I don't see something like this being accommodated for. If you don't want to fly, don't use a mount.

Why don’t the DEVs just make land speed the same as flying speed as long as you unlocked flying in the area.

It already is like that with 2x mount speed boosts in the area. First boost you just need to complete the MSQ in the area for; second boost you buy the riding maps for with hunt seals (or bicolor gems in SB2 areas).

It's a QOL, not a request. A request is for a new system or feature that doesn't exist. A QOL is for something that exists but make it better. Making the stealth spell on botanist/miner/fisher easier to use like they did is a QOL to an existing feature. Adding fly: on and off is a QOL.

I'm not asking how flying/not flying is used, I'm asking them to add a toggle to improve it.

And I'm saying they're probably not going to bother because it would go against the game's own design.

Like I said, either deal with it or don't use a mount. (Or alternatively, don't get all of the aether currents. As far as I can recall, the only zone in which you must do this as part of MSQ progression is Azys Lla.)

I would not use the option, but it should not be all that hard to make so your mount is unable to fly. More options for players to have direct control over aspects of the game that would improve their personal experience is not a bad thing. Doubt it will be a thing, but signed for ya.

There's no option to 'un-get' the aether currents, nor any warning that running near water/mountain side puts you into auto-fly.

Then just dont freaking fly?????

Edit: Pretty sure there is a similar option anyway in the settings. Youre gonna shoot that down though, so whatever.

There really is no "question" here. They aren't gonna do it, nor should they, because as I said it goes against their own zone design.

This would be like petitioning them to add a "QoL" toggle to disable the display of enemy AoE telegraphs. Whether you like it or not, the game was designed around having them there.

There's no option to 'un-get' the aether currents, nor any warning that running near water/mountain side puts you into auto-fly.

Perhaps you should have thought of that first, then, if this whole never wanting to fly bit would bother you this much.

Also, again, you won't "auto-fly" if you're not on a mount.

Making an option to disable flying for your immersion isn't a QOL issue at most it's an RP one. But as many have already pointed out the option already exists. They won't bother adding an option how you want it since there are area the require flying and it doesn't make since to make a system option that would have to be turned off regularly.
