Please let us mount other mounts while our chocobo is summoned

[Anapingofness]

I have an idea...

Why not automatically mount us on the chocobo while our choco companion is summoned? No matter what mount we press, that way it will make ppl not have to switch the mount out in the hotbar or dig through the mount guide menu to summon another mount?

I could live with this. I mean it already works with the mount roulette button.

For example, I don't have individual mount icons on my hot bar. I use the mount roulette instead.
If my chocobo companion is out and I need want to mount, I press the mount roulette button and I mount the chocobo companion.
If my chocobo companion is not out and I press the mount roulette button, I will mount whichever mount pops up~

Therefore, when riding on a mount, your companion disappears, and when you dismount it would reappear from nowhere, so we’ve currently made it so you can only mount your chocobo. However, if there are no issues with this seemingly strange occurrence

I could live with this.

I could also live with this. As long as I'm not taking up 2 buttons for mounts on my bar.

Honestly this is semi annoying but not as big of a deal as queuing with your bird out.

I could live with either of these, though I would prefer the first option. think about it this way when we summon any mount to ride our minion disappears, then reappears when we let them go. why not the same for our companion chocobo?

My real companion is my Legacy chocobo, it spent 5 five years looking for me and we have lots of memories together!
Why can't I use my Legacy chocobo (or apply the skin to my current companion) to fight together?

The lore is stronger with the Legacy chocobo, it should happen. ^^

I would like this myself

Please let us fight while mounted lolz

I don't care about not being able to ride other mounts with my companion summoned, I just wish I could still use the mount roulette command but have it only pick my Choco when it's out. so I don't need to have both a Choco button and mount roulette button on my hotbar.

Use a macro.

When lots of players will leave the game (please look forward to it!), perhaps then you'll have to find another excuse than the Stress on the servers..

Yoshi said fishing can help to relieve stress: perhaps it's time for the servers to try it out?

Everything we try to suggest mostly comes down to this.. I admit it's annoying.

Sad to see that the 2.0 had a good start, but since then it feels it's going down bit-by-bit..

Don't let a great game be left aside, please keep up listening to the playerbase as much as you can.

So far, it's.. fair.

Thank you.

People arent leaving the game because of choco/mount limitations, they rather leave because peeps are sick of negative attitude, just like that post you just made.

As a programmer myself, I am constantly irritated by the player whining.

"Do this like that, it'll be cool for ME"...

Yet people knows nothing of a ressource limitation or optimisation on a structured game and the impact of one small change can do on the whole thing.

Thank God i'm not dealing with customer service, i'd loose my job in a minute.

In this case I REALLY would be OK with the fact that it would "not make sense" for your chocobo to disappear and re-appear when you ride other mounts etc. It would just be extremely convenient.

[SalemP]

I'm perfectly ok with our companion chocobo disappearing when we use another mount. Throwing my vote in for that.

I know this thread's practically closed right now, but it's worth revisiting now. Especially now with Sleipnir mounts available. Right now I have no intentions of buying this mount knowing full well that I can't ride it. I almost always have my chocobo summoned and out to help me, causing me to not be able to use any of the other mounts that I currently own. A lot of people have their own preferences to what mount to be using for what job they're on, but right now limiting yourself to only chocobos when you have a chocobo out seems to be the only option for a lot of us that are begging for some flexibility and quality of life. If the excuse is lore, then a lot of fairies, carbuncles, and minions (some quite alive due to lore) are now getting shafted from that bond that was mentioned before.
