Feedback on Mounting Up
AlmostDead
Member, Alpha Two
Intrepid, let me first say very well done. Everything is so good considering this is just Alpha. I have had minimal issues, zero crashes, and zero getting booted from the server. And it's beautiful. And fun.
I realize this will likely change significantly over the coming weeks/months/years, but just in case...
Summoning, dismissing and mounting your mount is way too cumbersome. There shouldn't be a cast time to summon your mount. And it really should not be necessary to first summon your mount, then mount your mount. Nor should it be necessary to dismiss your mount.
There should be a keybind to mount your mount. That's it. When you press the key, your mount instantly materializes and you automatically mount it. When you press that key again, you instantly dismount and it disappears.
Also, the whistle is annoying.
Lastly, unrelated issue, I want to reiterate my prior feedback that turning your character using the left and right arrows needs to be WAY faster. The character turning speed is just WAY too slow when using the arrow keys.
