    Flying mounts

    I think it would be cool if flying mounts could fly in 2.0 areas.

    However I also realize that would be quite a bit of work, so as a compromise could we get flying mounts flying like 10ft or so off the ground? High enough so they don't look a bit silly like a lot of them currently do, but not high enough to break the zones.

    Speed could remain capped at ground mount speed, it's basically just an aesthetic request.

    it can be done....but it takes a lot of reworking the zones. World of Warcraft has a similar issue when they made mounts flyable in the original starter areas.

    Not sure if SE will do this....from what I remembered, Blizzard had to do A LOT of work to make it "work."

    Yeah I know, I think the 'do proper flying' thread has been done at least a dozen times .

    I'm just asking if we could have flying mounts look like they're flying, quite a few flying mounts look a bit awkward waddling along on the ground.

    I can't see it involving anywhere near as much work if the "flight ceiling" to the zone was only 10ft or so up, although if it is, then I guess it's not worth it.

    Well if I remember correctly they said they would look into it and if they do it will be a few zones at a time.

    Before they do, they should make some zones bigger like Upper La Noscea. Actually La Noscea would be a good place to start revamping. We could visit more islands in WLN or visit the floating islands in west OLN.

    I would LOVE proper flying in the 2.0 zones. This suggestion, unless a temporary stop to fully-functional 2.0 zone flying, would just seem like a cruel tease to me

    You mean give all flying mounts the eye ball treatment. Some of them would look silly flying that low to the ground. And then giving all the 2.0 areas a z axis would be too much work
