Let us use skateboards in this Dawntrail city

[Exmo]

Solution 9 is very large. With so many open plazas and empty walkways, it can feel mundane to traverse, especially because players tend to congregate at the arcade and nowhere else, making the place feel deserted.

If we had mounts it would feel better to move around the city and players would naturally gravitate farther away from the teleport nodes.

But to keep with the environment's vibe, the only mounts available should be things like skateboards, rollerblades, skooters, and other typical modes of personal inner-city transportation.

there're even rails to grind on. that would be radical.

It's honestly a travesty that we can't use mounts in DT's cities. Tuliyollal has a giant road running through the middle of it. Is Yoshi stupid?

[Reimmi]

Just let us mount in every city thats not like ul'dah limsa and gridania they're so big

To be fair, if they allow us to use mounts in cities, the next thread created is going to be "Please ban mounts from cities" because there's immediately going to be a group of people filling every aetheryte plaza with Lunar Whale mounts.

Would love to have something to get around the cities faster though.

That's why I suggest limiting it to only certain mounts in S9, specifically things that wouldn't be out of place there and would really fit the vibe. In contrast, in somewhere like Tuliyollal you might be able to mount up on hippo carts, rickshaws, and so on.

Good idea !
But would it be possible with the game “noodle code”?

We had mounts in the "endgame" hubs up until ShB, and the Eulmore floor that has the vendors is both fairly small and everything is roughly equidistant from the main aetheryte.

Let us mount in cities, but put in the dismount zones like on the Ninja Warrior towers indoors, and around major areas like the market boards. Let people show off their mounts without being a nuisance.

Tbf, I feel like being able to forcibly (as part of zoning) or optionally (as part of client-side gameplay customization) limit what one sees to zone-appropriate skins (for mounts, glams, or what have you) would be a huge boon in general...
