Sleipnir Useless in Heavensward?

[AnaviAnael]

Hey, personally I think it would be a great thing if they upgraded slepnir. I won't stand in the way of it. They very may well do it.

Cuz...character limit....

If it means anything, since this is something you apparently have and care about. I hope for your sake it does get upgraded though?

I'm glad you understand. I made a topic about this a few days ago and there are people who genuinely believe it's a "deal with it" problem. Plus, as I said earlier, it's really a poor business practice for SE. If Slepnir becomes a precedent (Mogstation mounts only being useful during the expansion they were released), why buy them? For some, they can be super expensive. Good grief I hate to think of what they cost in Australian dollars. I heard Heavensward cost like $200 in AUD?

I don't get the concept people have in this game that Can't fly =/= useless. I have sleipnir, and I use him CONSTANTLY when I'm out of HW zones, which is quite frequent. It's ok for not all mounts to fly. It does NOT devalue them, it does not make them worthless, useless, or anything else. This mentality that EVERYTHING HAS TO DO EVERYTHING seriously needs to go. Worse off, the devs are pandering to it by making mounts that should NOT fly be able to fly. There is ZERO reason for a warbear, warlion, and panther to fly. ZERO. Ther ewas ZERO reason for the adamantoise to fly. It's just making things incredibly lame in my opinion.

those of us that bought Sleipnir got our money's worth. They don't have to continue to cater to you for your 20.00 purchase over a year ago. imo flying mounts look ugly and awkward on the ground (Twintania, Midgardsomr, especially) so I gladly use my sleipnir in ARR zones cuz he still looks amazing.

Just wanted to ask again: Can my Boreas mount fly in Heavensward now?

Wether they make it fly or not I'm still gona use it when I can't fly (like ARR area's & Diadem pre-flight) & yes in Nordic mythology it is noted as being able to ride on "land, sea & sky" (also listed as the fastest horse) but its also listed as being a "Shamanistic Horse" or "Spirit Horse" so not really real yet somehow still real (can take u to the land of the dead & the mail box down the street... which sounds both badass & annoying I mean what if u accidentaly ride into the afterlife then have to ride all the way back out just to get to something that was 20mins away on foot in reality, Odin definetly got the time to dick around like that but us mortals do not lmao)

Sry for a double post. Thats why sleiphnir is SUPPOSED to have 6 legs. He does in the other final fantasies and in lore. 2 for land 2 for sea and 2 for air.

*cough* in lore (as in Norse mythology), Sleipnir actually has eight legs. Not six.

Not yet, but confirmed to be coming.

Nowhere, and it will probably fly at some point. Making the primal ponies fly was already giving me the "Are you serious"-face, though, wondering when they announce the flying goobbue mount. But my real question is, why would anyone pay 16.20€ for a mount?

They better make the ponies be able to fly, cause they made a freaking turtle fly.

While I didn't like the turtle flying, at least it was in reference to something to serve as comedic value or whatever. But now, Fenrir, a normal hoarhound is going to have the ability to fly using magic, along with a lion, bear and coeurl gaining the ability of flight. There's zero reason why magical horses shouldn't be able to fly at this point.
