Suggestion: Foot-based mounts

[Mysticdraggon]

this concept is simply suggesting to add "mounts", or just simply your character running at mount speed.

i think it would be fun if we had three types of running animations:

the first animation would just be a very powerful sprint. possibly with debris in the players wake as they run. slightly more visually exaggerated than the default running animation.

the second would be more relaxed and swift. much like the running animations for Ninjas, accept without weapons to wield.

finally, it would not be right to not add a comedic running animation.

as for summoning these "mounts", personally, i would like it if players took a stance instead of the default animation.

to add, it would be nice to finally install a high-jump mechanics and animations to some ground mounts in general within flight-available regions.

thoughts?

I made a topic like this and I'm 100% in favor. And now that we have swimming animations, I figure it shouldn't be too difficult to modify that for flight animations.

i agree that flying animations would be cool to have.

however, in my personal opinion (not to be mistaken for disagreement), somebody flying in the game just feels like it would not fit with the game. even though my own concept is over-exaggerated.

in the end, its a "why not" situation, so dont take my opinion seriously.

this just reminds me of City of Heroes and the various travel powers T-T

Kind of like a flying Syldra or a Elbest that cant swim?

I agree though that would bother me more than the two I mentioned.

EDIT: At least they could let ground mounts swim instead of dismounting or diving.

i agree. i know nothing about swimming mounts quite yet, but i suppose its common sense to simply have ground mounts at least swim on the surface.

Make us get struck by lightning and then put lightning around and behind us as we run.

it would be cool if we had all types of elemental-based animations for a completely different mount types. unlike foot-based mounts, elemental type mounts would be like using explosions to propel your character for fire, creating an icy surf for ice and water, they already have this nimbus-type mount for air, and as you have explained it for lightning.
