Being Forced Off Mounts Is Obnoxious

[Reimmi]

In Swtor (Star Wars: The Old Republic), there's a 5 dollar microtransaction that lets all characters on your account cast the mounting spell while moving. Totally worth the 5 bucks, and I'd spend it here too for that, lol.

Being able to cast the mount spell while running is one of those QoL things that feels sooo much better than it sounds. I struggle to get used to games without it! >=(

Man EA really got their hands deep into that game huh?
selling a what should be in-game feature for a microtranscation. yikes.

And please don't let that happen to this game, the mounts and costumes are one thing but if we start selling gameplay features on the mogstation i'm dipping, that's mobile game practices

You know what I'd like them to fix with mounts? Let me use items without having to manually dismount. If I must be unmounted to use the item, at least have it automatically dismount me when I try to use it, provided I'm on solid ground of course.

Been doing the Sylph beast tribe quests on my 2nd character and forgot how much I hated the Sylph quests first time through, one of the glaring problems being, as an example, having to manually dismount so i can throw morbol bile at those imperial soldiers...

That's exactly the kind of gameplay function that players whom have bought the base game should never have to pay for.

You can't expect a small indie company like SE to do something so difficult

Yea, it is so embarrassing that a corporation giant such as Blizzard losing to a small indie company like SE

Seiorusly I really wish we could talk to NPCs without having to constantly bounce off of our mounts.

I for one am glad it does. I couldn't stand people in WoW standing on top of an NPC with an over sized mount.

Knowing how people work, if they were allowed to stay mounted when talking to NPCs, we'd have important NPCs buried under the biggest mounts humanly possible making it damn near impossible to see.

So I for one am glad we're forced to dismount.

It's hilarious, and troubling, that some people think this game is even remotely threatening Blizzard or WoW. Fanboy trash aside, this game is niche by comparison. Amazing how easily some people can be mislead and misinformed, especially in this day and age.

Google, DuckDuckGo, (insert your preferred search engine here). Use one.

Never seen anyone cover the tome NPCs. Why is that? Being forced off our mounts is not the only way to stop people from standing on top of NPCs, so it is an unnecessary limitation for players.

The dismount use to bug me now I dismount before even talking to the NPC, my bug is that I can't hand all the quests I have for the NPC at once (after speaking once) and have to start talking each time to hand in each one, and if the NPC is sitting having them stand then sit then stand then sit poor NPC

One thing WoW eventually started doing that I hope FFXIV starts doing too is have quests register as complete and bring up the next quest while in the field if you are doing a quest chain in a specific area.

So for example someone might ask you to go out and kill x number of things. You do it, then that quest giver contacts you and you are able to complete the quest right there without having to run back and turn it in. Then you get the next quest in the quest chain.

Would work so much easier too, with the use of LP in the game, wouldn't take away from the RPG part of the game.
