145320-hoverboards-vs-mounts-and-a-christmas-suggestion

== Content ==
			
With hoverboards having water gliding, I can never justify using my other mounts that I visually prefer. They go the same speed aside from a few exclusives.
 
My suggestion is a christmas flair or something that lets the water under your ground mount turn into ice (particle effect only) so that you can match a hoverboard's utility. Either that or make ground mounts less likely to get you dismounted from mobs?
 
Any suggestions you guys have or am I just being picky?
 
 
 
As a slightly related note - the orbitron classic breaks ear drums. Spam forward and backward in sequence for the ultimate in sound ordinance defiance.

			In my experience, I've never encountered any problems with water so I've always just used my preferred ground mount. Still a cool idea but I can see that being more of a consumable then a mount item.	
----
			The idea is cute, I actually love it. But I'd probably just use my board anyways though because I'm not really a fan of xmas aesthetics. X.x	
----
			I'd rather see mount flairs that have a function, like pop out inflatable rafts or water skis.

Hoverboards are slower than ground mounts

			A hoversleigh would be a good medium between the two.

Old idea was to make ground mounts go faster but lose double jump.
 
Regardless, I don't think we'll be seeing any significant change.  Any change would annoy *someone* and carbine can't really afford to do that atm.	
----
			
At least, give "live" ground mounts a swimming animation and make all ground mounts not pop when submerged in water.
 
I default to hoverboards when I'm in zones with rivers because It's beyond jarring losing my mount all the time when crossing them.	
----
			Why can't they make mounts that hover beside hoverboard?

I rarely use anything other than a hoverboard.
 
If the ground mounts didn't throw me off at the merest mention of water i'd be able to use them more.

They did say in the information on the hover board event that ground moutns shoudl be faster.
I agree that the hoverboards are too good and render the rest useless. I like the idea of ground mounts being faster and offering better dismount protection.

That's also a good idea. You should be able to mount up in knee deep water too. I'm swimming my cupcake.
