Mount tilt feature: motion sickness and a plea for an on/off toggle

[Vahlnir]

It doesn't bother me, but I also don't suffer from motion sickness, at least not like this. It sucks for those that do and hopefully they can address this issue with a toggle or something. That said, I think it works well with some mounts but not so much with others. For some mounts, it looks pretty natural. Then there are other ones where it looks like you are losing control of your ride.

Edit #2: Well, I don't quite know what happened, but Rathalos does tilt wildly. Not really sure what to say other than this wasn't my experience with it up until now (Maybe my controller was wonky? Who knows), but I figured I'd edit my post as not to spread false information. Thanks Hasrat for pointing this out.

Would love to see BOTH a toggle and the overall effect altered slightly so it's either smoother and a more gradual transition, or something similar. Was using the SDS Fenrir the whole expansion before I got flying, and while I loved seeing the mount lean into turns I was making, seeing the mount wobble as much as it was was...um...not great. I very much support this thread, and a toggle at the very least would be appreciated--but would love to see the effect changed to not be so...much, the comment on it needing to be 30-50% reduced is pretty spot on.

Edit: As an aside, Rathalos didn't get this update. If anyone is struggling and doesn't mind using a dragon, that is a good alternative for the time being.

For the record, Rathalos tilts wildly while flying. Not a great suggestion.

While we're all testing mounts to see what's good/bad:

Flying Chair: tilts a little bit, but it's almost subtle enough to not be awful. I don't hate it.
Archon Throne: tilts way too much

What surprised me, tho, was Flying Shark. The tilt honestly looks great on that mount.

Which almost makes the idea of toggles feel a little bit bad... the basic premise behind the tilt isn't the worst idea, and on some mounts, it can range from looking good to not awful.. but it just feels like there are way too many mounts that use it poorly, so the whole implementation skews towards "this looks ridiculous."

didn't read through all of this but i feel like the issue lies with the height differences, both between mounts, and between character models. a tall mount with a roe, leans much farther over than a lala on a short mount. i think this is mostly perception based on a consistent degree angle producing a variable character distance from center. if the degree tilt was tweaked to normalize the distance between character and center (arctan of tilt degrees?), instead of a static degrees tilt, it would probably feel better.

I feel like they overcompensated with the tilt, I like the idea, but it doesn’t need to be a solid 45 degree angle when turning a tiny bit.

There was honestly *no* need to add this to the mounts in game. None whatsoever. It's fine for mounts like motorcycles that naturally have a tilt when turning, but not *all* mounts. I feel like poor Wuk when riding on a boat, the tilt makes me nauseous and bugs the hell out of me. It's not aesthetically pleasing to keen left or right when turning, I'd rather go back to how the mounts moved before they added this 'feature'.

I hope they add a Tilt Level option like the water blur settings, High, Low, or Off.

This would probably be the best option. People who like the new feature could leave it to "High", people who want to see it a bit toned down could use "Low", and those of us who get motion sickness even from the slightest tilt could turn it "Off" completely.

On the air the tilt is very strong, vs on the ground I noticed too.

Also the very strong tilt on the slightest camera turn makes it look awkward.

I like the idea, I feel like it should at the very least just be toned down a little, and a potential toggle for those of us more sensitive to motion sickness for acessibility
