Sleipnir Useless in Heavensward?

yay for flying mounts... yet.. the other game took them out in new zones I hear... maybe because it makes zones feel dead and able to skip content.

If your referring to WoW. Otherwise not sure what your saying. 1.0 definitely didn't have flying mounts. We didn't have mounts for over a year after launch. We had to walk everywhere, because there was no airship. When we did get a mount it was just the GC chocobo. Nothing glamorous.

Also wasn't it stated that old mounts that would get flight have to wait. They needed to add certain animations for flight. This is more a 3.1 or 3.2 discussion they have not even said when said animations will be added.

Primal Ponies can fly? o.O thats news to me..but seeing as how Sleipnir is considered a primal mount (seeing as how it plays Odin's Theme) I'm going to assume it will be able to fly..maybe not right of the bat in 3.0 since Yoshi and friends have mentioned that older mounts like the Ahriman will be able to fly in a later patch (something like 3.1 or 3.2) and not as soon as Heavensward launches.

18 days for early access!...i'm dieing over here waiting x.x

Remember that flying mounts are slower than land-based mounts when on the ground. All of our non-flying mounts will still be useful.

Sounds like the same mistake wow made.

When they added flying mounts, they flew slower than they ran. No one used the normal speed ones.

Making them slower on the ground leads them not being used unless you need to go up. Mounts are slow as it is, come on.

Those horses are going to look silly with wings.

Honestly, I think it would just be weird to see Odin flying around. Even weirder if they decided to attach wings.

Sleipnir has flown before in Final Fantasy. Santa's flying reindeer are also based on Odin's horses in mythology.

Content that served no purpose but to annoy maybe.

[WHS]

So almost all mounts can fly now, Chocobos, Ahriman and Primal ponies.. except for the mount we payed 16.8 EUR for?
This is not a request for making it fly, but maybe add more to it like customising it or make it faster on land or a special feature maybe?

I read where the mount had to have wings to get the flying ability. Did I misread that? Where did you see that ponies of any kind can fly? lol

Be like having pigs fly I suppose. LMAO
