Why player housing area not allow flying.

[OwlBlackX]

I still wonder why player housing area alwasy not allow flying with mounts?

Please let me flying in housing

[TheMightyMollusk]

Same reason we can't fly in cities. They're not designed with flying in mind. And considering how salty people get over the content lost to redesign the ARR field maps for flying, I wouldn't hold your breath over it.

Housing aint like cities. It's different. Housing are for players and cities for much NPCs.

Plus, I would love watch zone when I flying in housing area. Or I can sit on my house's roof.

They most likely won't add flying to housing. Sorry to break it to you. Like others have said, the issue is in how the housing districts were designed and they'd have to rip them apart and change it to fix them. This has the potential to mess up people's existing houses for example and if that happens....i would rather not have my house messed up ahahaha.

The only way I could see them doing it is if they add it specifically for Ishgard and test it there for use in future housing districts, but it also runs the risk of pissing off players in the other districts who don't have flying too.

It's kind of a rock and hard place situation.

Just an fyi: You can get on the new housing skin roof with just furniture if you play around with it.

Main cities like Uldah-Limsa needs to be reworked and expanded, people should be able for example in Limsa to swim and in Uldah more open spots and less loading screens, obviously with the inclusion of being able to use mounts. I mean what's the point of having 200 mounts if you can't use them?.

it's worse in Gridania where it's split between two areas and a 'mysterious' third area that has been blocked off since 2.0 which has some low poly buildings still in there with even the original north shroud exit all still there which these guys in the spoiler below showcase what i'm talking about.

i've been waiting since 2013 for them to open these blocked area off since I just assumed they were going to add them in later and yes... im still waiting.

Ishgard has the best design for fly mounts but guess what lol. I don't understand why the outsides looks so big and detailed but in cities nope, reduced lobbies with loading screens everywhere.

[Kes13a]

to be fair.. why?

I mean you go to your house, where else do you need to go that you require flying for?

[znushu]

if you really want to know it's because the Housing Areas are not actually connected to any other map. so if you flew up high enough in all of them you'd be able to see the edge of the map. the max height limit on houses prevent you from seeing those edges.

None of the maps are connected to any other map. Some of them might have a recognisable other zone in the distance, but that's just a copy. Most of them just have bordering cliffs and mountains to stop you from seeing out.
