Mounts in Cities Like Every Other MMO :MegaThread:

[Mr_Happy]

Currently wondering why this is the only mainstream MMO rpg that doesn't allow mounts in cities?

Creating a MegaThread in order to attempt to rectify this problem.

Any support or posts are greatly appreciated!

This post has been very enlightening, thank you very much for all the insight provided by the players who have contributed to this post!

It is very clear that many players do not want mounts in cities so I have decided to shut this post down and move onto a different direction with a new post.

Already we are getting some fantastic feedback from the players in here! Thank you to everyone thus far.

The fact is that other MMOs do not have any problems with mounts in cities so this game should not have any problems with it either.

Please reply to this thread with which fix you would like to see implemented!

Options to fix this problem thus far.

#1 Implement a zero cooldown sprint, a perma sprint or a sprint buff as soon as you enter a city that does not allow mounts.

#2 Add collision detection around important in game assets such as quest giving NPCs and retainer bells. Allowing players to stand on top of important assets allows for griefing in not only cities but the world as a whole.

No thanks, I kinda like being able to navigate without a ton of mounts in the way. I'm aware I can hold my target filter button to click through them but mounting in cities is rude and probably breaking some city-state by-law or ordinance.

Nobody wants this.

I don't even want to imagine how painful it would be to try to summon your retainer in these conditions.

Bad enough people basically stand on top of the summoning bell and make it hard to actually interact with, I can't imagine trying to do that with the whale mount or other large mount sitting on top of the bell. No thanks.

This is why we are promoting speed buffs or collision detection now please read the post edit.

Myself and the multiple players who suggested these things

Nah, I already have trouble rendering Lower Limsa at above 40 FPS without mounts.

What cities need is a more smart Aetheryte placement (looking at you, Gridania) and/or more of them.
