Remove cast time from Mounting, like you are from Summoning

[TheMightyMollusk]

Mounts are effectively magic anyway, unless you assume that we all have some chocobos, a few horses, some lizards, some mecha, a car, an airship, a bird or two, and the king of dragons just kinda lurking off-screen waiting for us to whistle. Maybe that cast time is for all of them to figure out which one you're trying to call.

Just be glad it's not like early WoW where you had to keep the whistle in your bag to use it.

ah yes you trolling him when he was making a point for himself not others...ah the toxic players attacking others to seem self righteous.

on the other note i would like cast time for mounts to be removed at least for open world

Saying you don't care about something therefore it doesn't matter is stupid.

I remember that having to keep actual mounts in your bag, with WoW classic everyone will be able to re experience that

Do you magically happen to appear in a bike, a car, a bus, or in the subway irl? Nope, you take the bike and sit on it, you open the car and sit on it, you get on the bus and same for the subway. press the button to summon the uber, then three minutes later you float into the air in a seated position and the car forms around you, then you can go on your way. Those are your 1-3 seconds. It's a fantasy game, sure, but what you're asking is like, beyond useless and stupid.

Fixed that for you. If you're going to try to use real life analogues at least be honest about what's happening.

Instant mounting would be fine. If we're going to make unnecessary comparisons to IRL, let's talk about how in IRL you could summon a mount, have it come up beside you, and you hop on without it stopping. This is a real thing that people can do in real life on horses, into convertible cars, and other modes of transportation. Though it doesn't happen often; it's more common in movies than in real life, but still no less possible.

Ah, yes, you don't care about PvP so it doesn't matter.

I've seena few of your posts throughout different threads today and you don't half love to attack other players don't you, Anyway in regards to the OP PvE PvP instant cast would be fine as other have mentioned before you can't cast a mount in combat anyway it'd be abit more of a QoL improvement.

[Penthea]

You can't mount in combat, at least not in the open world. I'm sure they'd keep that in place. PvP? I don't really care as I hardly ever do it anyway. LOL

You don't have to be in combat to notice an enemy player approaching you.

So much irony in one point. Got to love it.

If you are on PC you can press Z ( unless you changed it ) to get off mount.

The point is to not have a specific keybind for it and reduce the number of keys you have to press.

Approaching a mob you want to attack and you're mounted? Just press whatever ability you want to start with and poof it unmounts you and cast it.

It has a specific keybind as a matter of safety. You can't re-mount once you're in combat. The dismount key protects you from activating an instant action against a mob unintentionally, forcing you to the ground, and preventing you from mounting again.
