[dev1082] The (un)Official Mount System Thread

[Duelle]

None all FFs are suitable for all those vehicles/mounts. For example, i would not like to see motorcycles or helicopters or similar "high-tech" stuff in FF14 sincerely, because the world is more "medieval" and they would be out of place.

Garleans beg to differ.

I can see it now:

Raid leader: Ok, Duelle, Mcpwnzu and Snuffy, get on the motorcycles. Ownerer, go with group 3 and split the demoli--I mean, magitek armors amongst yourselves. Group 4 will be the people catapulted on the boss. Don't screw up because these vehicles can't be healed. Also, make sure people on the bikes are picking up the catapulted people after the boss shakes them off.

Actually, I think that would be killer gameplay.

EDIT: And yeah, lol, I have done that fight in wow too. Haha. But it made me imagine riding mounts up to a boss platform like a plateau at the top of a mesa.

Ironically, for as complex as it looked, it was basically a loot Piñata!

I like vehicle fights! But if they add them, I can see people complaining "I want to use my own abilities!" just like they did in WoW.

Indeed. Few actually appreciated Flame Leviathan for what it was: a chance to do something different in raiding content. For me it meant my gnome warrior was doing something other than tanking. Seeing all the machines the Garleans have, it'd be a crime to NOT make a vehicle-based encounter at some point.

Edit: odd question, but you wouldn't happen to have had a dwarf death knight named Nikita on the sentinels server, would you? >.>

If I remember correctly Chocobo Breeding was one of the most highly demanded features in FFXI.

And it was widely used ... for about 3 months.

This was because by then people figured out all that effort to get a mount slower than then rentals, had less stamina, cost money to keep summoning and was temperamental was kinda...worthless (or damn close to it).

Haha no, I went by the names Pinksugar (Warlock), Gogodancer (Priest O_o) and Poledancer (Rogue)... ^_^

Edit: and I was Horde :P
