Possible Solution To Terrestrial Mount Flying?

[Lokier]

Now who said Stormbrood needed to have flying? You got your flying expac' in Heavensward. They could go back to making you all dirt dwellers if they really wanted to. Your flying mounts can walk on the ground, and you can't fly in ARR anyway.

Which is where Ala Mhigo is, might I remind you. And they're all dirt dwellers...

Shame they confirmed there would be flying in the fanfest though.

I would actually wanna see the threads of people taking a shit fit over not being able to fly in Stormbrood. The forum would be even more childish and toxic than it already is, lmao.

Because you have to drop off the mount and cast another one and then take off.

That's... still pointless. Why are you switching from a flying mount to a ground mount anyways?

Oh erm..... GOOBBUE HENSHIN!
*Goobbue sprouts propellers*

Am I getting it right now? D:

Jetpacks. Everything should get a jetpack.

Suddenly I have an image of propellers on the goobue's head when it flies....... or waving its arms frantically...
:/

You guys got the goobbue thing totally wrong. It's already modeled to be flown with gas power.

Sneezing power. You have to fly backwards though to ride one.

They dont necessarily -need- to make the terrestial mounts be able to fly, they just need to give us a reason to actually use them.

The simplest thing I can think of for this: Speed up ground movement on terrestrial mounts.
Right now, Terrestrial mounts move at a slightly sped up pace when on the ground. Flying mounts move at that same speed when walking, but move much faster when flying. So if they're the same thing when on the ground, honestly there's no point in ever using a Terrestrial mount again since you're basically getting choosing a mount that cant do as much as flying mounts.

They should have it where Terrestrial mounts (mounts that cannot fly at all) move at the flying speed when on the ground. Mounts that can fly will move at the current mount walking speed when walking on the ground, but retain their increased speed when flying.

That way theres a reason for both. Going a short distance and dont want to bother flying? use a Terrestrial mount. Going from one side of the zone to the other? jump on your flying mount. That way they each have a strength, instead of flying mounts being immediately superior.

I think the bear mount should have a giant Red balloon tied to it in refence to Winnie the pooh

The War Lion thought....hmmm a white fluffy cloud and the War Panther a dark evil cloud!

Just give them lots of chipotle and a lighter. Flying bears and lions everywhere.

I would rather a whimsical idea like the Adamantoise than an option to change to a different mount. Gives XIV a bit more character.
