Ideas for Flying Mounts

[Dtwo]

damn dat ash mechanic she to HOT.

I'll see your flammie and raise you a windwalker (first 20 seconds) from Secret of Evermore. With the really awesome background music.

...yes, it's a wheelbarrow with a stove attached to the back, barrels on the sides and hydraulic-powered wings. It's awesome.

Lol, I'll see your windwalker and raise you a cup of liquid courage - two cups to get me in one~. Although, I kind of expect something like this in Heavensward due to Goblins, would befit a beastmen quest at least from previous precedence, but I kind of hope we see some Goblin earned recipes due to their crafting nature. Requires level 10 armorsmith, 25 goldsmith, 5 carpenter, 55 alchemist, and 100% goblin ingenuity. Kind of reminds me of Castle in the Sky or the later made Howel's Moving Castle.

Guilty pleasure and probably terrible thematic match but I would like to ride a Silt Strider, mystical whale noise included, with Netch like flying mechanics... >.< (glitchy flying mods do not count :P). That being barred how about a baby primal Bismark, summoned by a 25 tonze prayer box - I like the whale sounds lol... ;(.

Considering how the player in SoE gets the windwalker, I'd expect it to involve a questline about two goblin brothers that reach for the sky in their own separate ways.

I hope our companion can learn how to fly.
Or we are back to the situation 1 year ago:
Send companion away -> call mount -> travel to destination (Heavensward: fly to destination) -> unmount and call companion back

A weird wish for a subterrain species. Ixal fit better.

PvP with flying mounts. Ace Combat level dogfights.

[Chambers]

I'd like a Magitek Gunship like we see in Keeper of the Lake or something similar.

[Lollie]

Bomb mount, blows up when you land.

Reaching for the sky was certainly an Ixali theme but I can imagine in Heavensward Goblins would at least have designed some sort of flying device, being able to make bomb tossing tank cars (Brayflox) and living on flying islands (Heavensward). Besides the Ixali creation would probably be too high class looking (with lalafell help.. :P) to be a stove and barrel, that sort of explosive creativity sounds definitely Goblin lol. Perhaps they are reaching to the sky for an island that smells like a wonderfully odorous cheese, penetrating another beast tribe's defences to find that secret cheese recipe (or natural environment/barriers). Though, since I assume the goblins have ability and devices already, you'd have to work in two gobby brothers disobeying the group and building a vehicle to make the trip anyways :P (one for culinary and the other for alchemy?).

I hope they streamline chocobos (as one content - maybe restrictions to save extra data consumption "10 chocobo license"), I would like to train my main battle trained chocobo to fly too. Minor annoyance to that too, our legacy chocobo is our main GC chocobo - so imo it should be a toggle feather/tattoo option and barding not separate mount.

God I really hope they minimise the damage of flying JUST in certain areas in this expansion and don't bring it back for other expansions. Or God forbid, add it to the rest of the world. Flying mounts really, really destroyed the world in WoW.

idk...I LOVED flying in WoW...one time I even renewed my sub just so that I could fly around in my bird form again for a little bit (Druid FTW...best mmo job ever!). It made me explore places I hadn't been before. See things I had easily overlooked because I just wanted to get to my destination. And right now, half the time no one really explores anyway because they can just teleport everywhere. (Doesn't stop me from doing it though) But that's just me.

I really would like to see these as mounts:

Dodo! (a naughty 1.0 farting dodo)

And like my signature ofcourse, a Badass Coblyn mount! (dem crazy eyes!)
