Mounts in Cities Like Every Other MMO :MegaThread:

[Payadopa]

I'd really rather they work on new content than undertake a giant overhaul to connect zones that were never designed to be connected to satisfy people coming from other games whining for ff14 to be more like the game they just quit.

Um.. But all cities used to not have loading screens. I can live without Thanalan being connected but at least join the 2 halves of every starting city-state again.

Cities, no. But idyllshire and mor dhona did not break whilst having mounts allowed. Other hubs should allow them too.

Revenent's Toll is also not separately instanced from the rest of Mor Dhona like the other cities.

Can't find it right now, but I read somewhere that Idyllshire was originally going to be part of the Hinterlands map as well, but between the instancing for its rebuilding and for Alexander shifting around, plus concerns over performance with players gathered in the hub and out in the map doing other stuff, they split it up.

They should allow mounts on the outside of Eulmore, but as a Eulmore enjoyer I'd recoil at mounts standing on the lush carpets inside!

And Mor Dhona as a whole becomes a giant lagfest whenever anything story-relevant gets put there because of how many story-relevant things are there already, so that goes to show why Idyllshire and future endgame hubs ended up in separate instances. Rhalg's Reach and Idyllshire were also a lot smaller and a lot less town-like than Eulmore and Radz-at-Han, so I can see why it is with that shift they decided to 'officiate' the city status of future endgame hubs by making them no-mount zone.

Why does it even matter if it's a "mainstream" mmo?

[MoofiaBossVal]

I don't want to see people driving sportscars or riding Yokai-Watch clouds through Ul'dah while I am trying to immerse myself talking to NPCs and investigating the Syndicate.

Allow mounts and flying in cities.

"Work on new content " like Old Sharlayan another main hub city where mounts aren't allowed again despiste the enormous size of it?.

This community it's so full of weirdos, I mean asking for improves or updates to content that still its relevant even 10 years ago (like main cities) means someone wants this game to be WOW.

Maybe don't spent 80% of your time in Limsa then?

Who are you?.
Because as far I know you can't use mounts on any dungeon/raid/main city (not even Ishgard despite being the realm of dragons). SE even released the fly mount system in ARR for new players but hey asking for improvements is just to much, maybe if I ask for another 40 usd mount on the cash shop you would jump in one leg right now.
