Feedback - Mounting/Flying in Solution Nine?

[Iscah]

That is what instances are for, and already made to do in every expansion. It is not an excuse, it's an oversight, or shameless padding. Take your pick. If they had, say, autowalks in there that granted haste or more of those teleporter things it'd be something. But they have neither.

It is an instance that take place inside the city, though. They don't put you in the city zone itself, just a copy of it – but if the layout was different, it wouldn't make sense.

As I said, that shouldn't excuse them from still having a functional endgame hub – the aetheryte just needed to be away from the instance route – but if they're going to have an instance in the city then they need to build for it.

Even Limsa has that weird mess of ramps around the Drowning Wench that get used for several events across job quests and such. If you want stuff to happen in the city, the architecture has to be there.

Please no. I don't want to see 700 Regalias parked around the vendors again.

The vendors are inside a smaller building many of us have said we're ok being dismounted in.

Yeah most disagreements I'm seeing revolve around the obnoxious mounting on vendors and stuff which while valid, it's as if they just completely missed the mention of it in my post and ignored others replies lmao. We've proposed multiple solutions that are utilised in the game already, to deal with this problem.

The area for the vendors in Solution Nine is huge (since they're not spread out like they are in Rhalgr's Reach), so you would need to make that entire area a dead zone for mounts. Allow mounts near the Aetheryte Plaza and you have the same issue of the spot you enter from being crammed full of people on them (which is going to add to slower load times and just be a mess). Make *that* a dead zone and it makes mounting in the area kinda pointless.

However, if they implemented it with those restrictions, then cool. Have at it.

It wouldn't be that hard to make specific spots in the city an area that gives the "Hoofing it" debuff to prevent mounting, they did it for the summer event in costa near the jumping puzzle.

[Laerune]

I doubt they will allow us mounts, but what about infinite sprint in cities?

trueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[ArcturusMar]

I came to make a post like this if it did not already exist. So many good ideas OP. We need this badly!

[Serenaya]

Bumping because I want at least a chance of devs or whoever handles western feedback, seeing this.

we know from Ydilshire they can allow mount while not allowing the chocobo as pet.
We know from island sanctuary they can force dismount in some zones.

They should use those to allow mount in Solution Nine, and force unmount in the commercial district. it's already a more closed subzone.
