Mount abilities

[BigPapaSmurf]

As part of a quality of life improvement in Patch 2.5 we made it so when interacting with objects that feature actions (such as the cannons found inside Castrum Meridianum) the abilities would automatically appear on your hotbar/cross hotbar, instead of being displayed exclusively on the pet hotbar.

However, as you pointed out, we have confirmed that this change is happening to mounts as well. We are planning to address this issue and we will update you as soon as we hear more!

Golden Magitek still needs its abilities!

Perhaps for fun you could change the color of the flame/sparks on it's mount-abilities once implemented (versus the original Magitek).

I have no problem with this, im also on PS4 and find no issue at all, i press L3 to dismount.

Well, I guess since this was obviously a mistake I don't really need to put in my two cents but will anyway. I play on PS3 and was unaware of the L1 R1 meathod, but I have always placed all my mounts on hotbar 5 which is tied to R1+Dpad Up so for me its as simple as a quick switch to get to the bar and just hit any mount to dismount the one you are currently on. It's not too big of a deal, just takes some getting used to.

I actually enjoy the change XD. It makes a lot of sense. I dismount with L3 anyway .

I didn't even notice the change somehow, though now that I think of it my fire spitting abilities did come up while mounted (the fire drake being the only mount with an ability I typically use). Using a controller it was easy not to notice the change since L3 is still the quickest, easiest way to dismount.

Can this be made an option though? I turn pet bar off and on my Ps4 can't access my mount abilities and have been enjoying the access since this 'bug'.

I agree! I totally enjoy actually being able to use my mount "attacks" without the pet bar being on. I always dismount with L3. I never even considered that this was a "bug"...I thought it was a nice QoL change.

Thank god. I was just complaining about this today.... I use controller to do gathering so I can sit back and relax while I do it without having to press much. This new change has me annoyed since I'm always mounting and dismounting so I have to press R1 each time I get back on to go to a new point just to dismount.

Maybe put abilities instead of mounts on your main hotbar.

Maybe people have both mounts and abilities on their main hotbar.
I like to have a macro with sprint and mount roulette on the last slot in hotbar 1. I'm sure lots of people do something simmilar. You rarely use the farthest slots in a hotbar during a fight anyway.
