Ground mount

[Synrin]

1) Mount up
2) Don't take off or unkeybind the take off bind (normally spacebar)
3) ?????
4) Profit

As for the speed, a faster running speed has been requested soooo many times, but it won't happen. Not in HW nor in the ARR areas.

This here is the primary reason I doubt between buying HW and ARR collectors edition. Get HW for gryphon, or ARR for Coeur which ill only use on jobs that aren't 50

Can't a man ride his horse on the ground like a real horse? It's so slow it's painful why do I have to fly!

SE likely doesn't want to spend development time on content that they KNOW ahead of time only a small number of people will care about. For most, the practicality of being able to fly with a mount outweighs the aesthetics of a cool-looking mount. So, in all likelihood, all future mounts are going to be flying mounts.

Wouldn't the more logical step be to emulate the practicality of flying on the ground? We could save a lot of dev time if future zones had no ground obstacles/collision models, mobs and were much smaller to boot. The biggest appeal of flying seems to be the ability to reduce the zone to nothing but a pretty background that can be traversed through swiftly after all.

If they introduce swimming, I hope that every mount also gets it, priority on the ones that don't make sense. Swimming Magitek = sink for example.

I could see it became a submarine though.

Griffin and Avian mounts on the other hand...

It would be pretty cool to have a fast ground mount. It would be kind of odd with it going slower in ARR areas though. Maybe something at the HW choco stables you could rent once you completed the msq or have unlocked the currents, that could only be used in that area.

The Manacutter already resembles a boat and would be cool if it could go sailing mode on water.

Why does everything has to fly?!!??!

Why can't you just make ground mount fast on heavenward area?

If you guys do just that.... You could start bringing vehicle in already... Not everything has to fly you know.....

Can't get to Alex area? Fine build a bridge or something lol

You do realize many HW maps have huge areas that are literally inaccessible unless you fly, right?

Sea of Clouds in particular would be pretty lolsome.
