No mount flying?

[MihaelB]

What's the consensus on flying with just our character bodies?

Mainly wondering because I was gliding for around a minute(lalafells sprawl out on ADS nodes) on my lalafell because I was lagging so he pretty much looked like he was flying without a mount

Could make up some like lore we utilise crystals or aether to fly, I mean we knock down dragons with fists and shoot laser beams by attuning to Bahamut's energy.

It looks (even more) silly and then it leads to the question on why we can't fly in instances or fight while flying. Not to mention it'd also have to be a ground mount, which looks just as silly and still leads to the question to why we can't fight while running/flying that fast on the ground.

Same reason flying mounts don't fly in non flying zones: aether currents.

But why can't we fly and fight in places that allow flying, if we're able to fly without any assistance? There's some things I'm willing to suspend my beliefs on, but not being able to fly and combat when we're capable of flying without a mount is really pushing it, as if the tortoise wasn't enough (which is also just as obnoxious with the sound effects and smoke fumes)

And a Flying Adamantoise doesn't? Yet exists?

Don't even get started on that. If they added that because of player demand, then there's no reason they can't add other features (typically ones that are in much higher demand, like QoL fixes) because of player demands.

Attuning to aether currents could be one or you could just implemented a slow glide adjusted to the speed of a regular mount.

Lore could be very easy to create such as we created a crystal bracelet which allows infinite aether to utilise to float and attune to aether currents to fly
We can't fight during the process because we would be spending all our concentration on channeling the aether/energy to float/fly.

Oops was meant to delete that but yeah, there's many other mounts I just go huh at haha

No thank you

what's wrong with flying with mounts????? There is no reason for me to fly without a mount; unless we're going for that Crazy Crystal Power again...and nothing good seems to come of that so no thanks.

I wouldn't neccessarily be opposed to it, but for sure would have to be part of the MSQ.
