Mount tilt feature: motion sickness and a plea for an on/off toggle

[Shibi]

As a motorcyclist, riding the sidecar fitted bike just feels plain wrong. Try to bank like that and you'd end up rolling the bike. Hopefully they made the capability per mount so they have a chance of not using it sometimes. It will be limiting if all mounts will lean, especially motorised ones.

Motion sickness is not something a person can control. I'm fine with it being there for those who don't suffer from motion sickness, but there needs to be a toggle OFF for those of us who do.

In my experience, the devs aren't great when it comes to accessibility issues, especially motion sickness. Tower at Paradigm's Breach was unplayable for a lot of folks because of the combination of flashing lights and movement; I ended up with a migraine after my first run. This was almost worse because it's an unexpected change. I hope that the devs will make it possible to turn this feature off, because it's a real problem right now.

I don't know if it helps, but I noticed that if you make your turns strafing diagonally, the mount doesn't tilt

It's a bit annoying though

[Hasrat]

I just think it's annoying and want it gone. It doesn't add realism. These are floating dogs ambling along, not someone on a street racing bike doing 160mph centrifugal witchcraft around corners.

I do think part of what really sets it off is that.. we just don't feel like we're moving fast enough to make banking like this necessary.

But, despite everything, I did notice today that the tilting didn't look awful on the bike you get from Island Sanctuary.

Which makes me feel like what's really wrong with this isn't the tilting as much as it is the speed/severity. Maybe if they simply reduced the maximum angle of tilt, and increased the time to reach that angle, it wouldn't be so bad.

Request: Tilt disable options, or anti-tilt mounts

Context: Between spins and tilts in cutscenes, Wuk Lamat frequently getting motion sick, and then any mount travel having tilt, there's no catching a break from the camera twisting unless I stop playing for an hour.

I've had to dust off my bag of ginger candies and motion sickness bracelet, and I *still* managed to throw up in a mildly twisty cutscene that's midway in Koza MSQ.

PLEASE SEND HELP!


(Unrelated, Wuk Lamat is adorable and I love her. <3 )

After seeing this, I rode my Choco Bo today. And felt motion sickness for the first time while playing games. This will really need to be improved.

Getting motion sickness from the new mount tilt animations. Would it be possible to add an on/off toggle for these mount tilt animations, please?

While I don't have motion sickness, I too want the option.
I'm riding a wolf at slow/moderate speeds not racing a motorcycle on a racing track.

This nonsense looks ridiculous.

[SamSmoot]

I can't say I noticed this, give how little flying I've done during the MSQ. I have it a try in Thavnair, and only noticed a light banking effect in flight, which appears completely natural. I do prefer smaller mounts though (The mecha-frog is my primary). I haven't noticed any unpleasant effects. I do find that large screen-filling flapping mounts, or ones with a lot of vertical motion can be nausea-inducing though.

[Aurelle_Deresnels]

I support the toggle. For me it's just annoying due to throwing off the correspondence between visual character model and landing location; my sympathies to those who are getting outright motion sick from it.

The mount tilt animations are very pretty, but that is meaningless to those who find them unplayable. A toggle, or even a slider for the amount of tilt, allows for everyone to be happy.
