You shave the Chua first. Remember, Mordesh are bad for the digestion.

Want!!!
 
Can we get those giant dinosaur guys, too? :O	
----
			Personally, I'd prefer just a regular ol' space rhino mount.	
----
			
ONE MONTH AND STILL NO WORD ON THIS, CARBINE???
 
GG DEVS LOL Y U SO BAD?
 
The community deserves better communication than this. I will be cancelling my sub unless this is addressed.
 	
----
			Now that someone else mentioned it in another thread, I will never be satisfied until there's a jetpack mount complete with superman pose flying animation.	
----
			
What about a speeder?
 
OMFG EVEN BETTER
 
Ok obviously WildStar can't get licience for starwars stuff, but we can certainly use similarities.
The pod racer one would be so cool
 
I'm not really into animal mounts in this game, I'm more interested in mechanical, scifi style mounts. Bring on the fleet of machine mounts.	
----
			I don't disagree with the idea, but I think priorities need to be examined.This is obviously FAR more important to add as a mount:	
----
			
Yeah, I know it will be an unpopular opinion, but I think animal mounts in WildStar are pretty pointless and kind of dumb. Given that this universe obviously has the technology to create modes of transportation like hoverboards, holographic-driven anti-grav taxis, teleportation beams, VTOL fighter craft and freaking ARKSHIPS ... it just seems monumentally silly that the people of Nexus would choose to ride an equivar (or worse, inside the cheeks of those stupid fat cats - oh Lord, that is the dumbest thing ever ...)
 
Just saying, Earthlings figured out lame-ass internal combustion and we stopped riding horses and driving carriages within ten years - and that ain't got squat on anti-gav or hover-tech.
 
In short, riding animals are fine for fantasy games, but for a science fiction milieu, it just seems very ... I dunno ... archaic.	
----
			To an extent you're right, but on a hostile world where supplies can be cut off at any time, animals do have a place. They have top end performance issues, but there are definitely times when they can be more reliable than machinery.

Oh, I ain't adverse to animals as mounts ... just that in a science fiction universe, I'd hope/expect more mechanic/technological modes of transportation and fewer beasts of burden is all.
 
I totally would not cry if I got a warpig or wild cubig to ride on. :lol:

Genuinely curious, how would you ride a Cubepig?

Seats four!!

Ooooo, to go with more technology, the tanks and fighters in Illium and Thayd:

			I think that's getting into the realm of flying mounts now, which should not be implemented. I mean seriously that's not going to fit between wilderrun trees lol. The cat mount should probably the biggest size of mount imo.

			I only like flying mounts because it's one more thing to collect ... otherwise, meh.

I'd rather see flying reserved to outer space instead of on Nexus. Flying in modern MMO's are simply a stupid convenience and it's 1 of those features you have to commit to. You can't reverse flying. If you think so, look at Blizzard's attempt at removing flying. 
 It failed.

 It failed.You know what's a stupid convience that cant be reversed that's a lot worse than flying? 
Instant Porting everywhere without any need for exploring.
Like the LFG tool does now.
----
			
Porting only affects instanced content. Flying mounts affect everything you do including things like resource farming and contracts.
 
If flying mounts are implemented then I would have to insist that a Flying Mount License be bought that's only available AFTER you buy both the expert and advanced licenses.

My thread, so I'm going to be a forum *cupcake* right now.  
 
Take the flying discussion to a new thread.  This is about mount suggestions.  IDC if the suggested mount could be a flyer.

I'm not saying that they're not stupid convenience either, but adding more stupid convenience ontop of stupid convenience doesn't negate stupid convenience. 
A lot of the instant teleporting is justified due to instancing of Farside, Alizar (for dominion) and Isigrol. Cases like Wilderrun is mainly because it's disjointed with rest of Olyssia. 
Isigrol got too many teleports imo. There's basically a teleport for every zone with the exception of Western Grimvault.
 
I'd be fine without LFG tool as well except that for a dominion, Stormtalon's lair is a proper pain in the butt to reach and likewise for exiles & KV.

OT: I really like the strain rhino idea. That mob is a beast in GA man. It would be crazy if they added a droppable mount version  :D! We already have a strain hoverboard, so there shouldn't be an issue with giving us strain mounts. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
OF: How is it a step back?... There is still places you can't teleport to besides the aforementioned. A lot of the instant teleports aren't completely convenience as they're located in different instances entirely. The only notable at the ones at Isigrol really. If they ever add a way from Auroria to Wilderrun, sure we can speak for said case as well. 
 
Trust me, there is no other game that justifies flying than Wildstar, but they have to nail it completely. Not this bullshit, lazy as hell flying design which almost every other MMORPG uses. Could be a gold sink ie. pay for fuel or something. Could have a new profession that can provide fuel, which in return creates a market and reason for people to go out and farm nodes etc. There is a lot of ways you can execute flying, but WoW's way was probably the laziest way conceived. Then again, they added flying like 7-8 years ago. Blizzard stated that it was a mistake to add flying to begin with. If Wildstar refuses to learn the mistakes of other MMO's, then be my guest and add in the standard MMORPG flying. Won't continue this in the thread as the OP does not wish for it to.
