Can we also rip off GW2 mounts?

[Aelin_Ashryver]

After having peeked at the WoW expansion announcement and seeing their new dragon riding just being a rip off from Guild Wars 2 mounts I did wonder, why can't ffxiv have the same quality of mounts? It is one thing in guild wars 2 that seems really great!

Rip it off! I want epic gryphon flying!

To me it looked really gimmicky but I dunno how it was implemented in the GW2 expansion since I haven't played it yet.
The gliding at least felt like it mattered more in HoT, mounted combat is rarely done well imo tho which I heard WoW is getting?
I honestly can't think of an example where it was done well.

Yeah, I think they mentioned being able to shoot fireballs or something while flying. Vehicle quests in WoW were awful so I was just face-desking when they were gushing about it. Like, I stopped watching after they introduced the revamped profession system, and... goodness. They talked about the dragon flying in every segment aside from the class/profession sections. It seems a bit too overhyped...

Lord of the Rings Online, with the warsteeds introduced with the Rohan expansions.

Mind you, I haven't played LotRO in aaaaages -- honestly, I think the point where they introduced mounted combat was a few months before the point at which I wandered off. So it may well have changed dramatically and be terrible now, or something. But I actually did think their mounted combat was pretty solid when introduced, especially as a first cut of a mounted combat system.

I'm not looking for mounted combat just the cool flying that feels a bit more real!

I agree and disagree at the same time, i don't know if you tried the pod mount but the way you swing when flying feel less static than when you fly with other mount and i wish that they tweaked a little flying to feel more ... in motion ?

Mainly cuz it is an animation that pre-dated the mount release.

Just because something is ok doesn't mean it can't be improved upon. Guild wars 2 mounts feel great and they look great, having skins for the mounts and all is really cool. I would love them to improve the mount movement and expand our chocobo more too.
