Voidal Resonator should be a flying mount.

[TessaJalloh]

The 90 day veteran reward, the voidal resonator, is already flying anyway.



It stands to reason that this particular mount should get an upgrade and be transformed into a flying mount come heavensward.

Thoughts?

Any comments from the Community leaders on this?

Well, in a recent patch they clarified each mounts means of locomotion and the ahriman was listed as aerial. Given that, chances are actually rather high that it is going to be able to fly in the Heavensward areas.

I doubt that existing mounts will fly in Heavensward, it would take away from the value of the new mounts in 3.0 to have any 2.0 mounts able to fly.

Also, IIRC they clarified the resonator's 'flight' capability suggesting that it uses it's legs to hop/jump and flappy wings to stay aloft, but cannot attain any altitude because it's more of a 'puddle jumper' rather than a soaring flier.

Not really, considering physical/digital CE peeps get one right from the get go.

Chocobos are built like ostriches and shouldn't be capable of flight, yet they will be in Heavensward. I don't see why the same wouldn't be possible for the resonator.

CE people get a free one just for buying it. We get a black chocobo just for unlocking the ability to use flying mounts.
As evidenced by the fact that I had two mounts in my queue before i even got the ability to ride them, SE doesn't place value on the mounts themselves, just the ability.
They're just skins, after all.

I like the idea of Aerial mounts being flying mounts. It makes sense. Besides, I'd love to be able to soar the skies in my Bomb Palanquin.

[Aphel]

I suppose it could be. That flying eyeball pales in comparison to soaring dragons, majestic gryphons, magitek airships though........ and flying unicorns that fart rainbows in the sky.

[Gilraen]

It doesn't really take away from anything. I mean, the floral goobbue didn't do anything to the minstrel goobbue no matter how much the jerk Legacy players made it out to be. And noone cared that the 500 commendation reward was a gold pope-mobile... I mean reaper... Point is, the special mounts for preordering Heavensward will still be special, no matter how many flying mounts you have prior.

[QuinceTaru]

Id like to know if our chocobo will be able to fly or if we are going to get a different one? cause with all the armor that covers wings it would be weird.
