Thank you for commenting on the topic and giving insight on the matter.

(and as you can see i have no idea how to close the thread so it will remain as is until deleted or forgotten about)

Things already look pretty good on the ground. And you get third person.

people really don't get it... has nothing to do with immersion... the limited flying mounts is because the game is Designed around TRAVEL DISTANCE and TIME

flying in a straight line over the terrain completely goes against the core design..... that's why only a limited fraction of 0.04% of the server can have them.

Any suggestions to have more flying mounts need to be ignored.

Flying mount i feel main use is for node war and management of troops like a commander position sitting above co ordinating people aswell as letting out AoE attacks on area to assist in the form of dragon breaths and things. would be why castle owners and mayors get them pretty atleast how i see it.

As the above guy mention flying mount do one thing and thats make the world feel so much smaller which is main reason why most players wont get them, the reason the few player that do get them is as stated above.

We the peasant do believe get gliding as an option though with some mounts like the gryphon so we do get some aerial movement type stuff but it limited, we might see mount thats have vertical mobility skills like a leap or jump to hope up things.

I prefer no flying mounts.

Since we will have them, as long as they stay very rare and are used for buffs/utility. I can be more accepting of them existing.

The last thing I dont want to happen, is not being able to interact with other random players in the world.

there basicly there so mayors and castle commanders can use them to manage there troops on ground pretty much so they get aerial view of battlefields. they probaly have a long Cooldown ability too that can help turn the side of an area of the battle if used correctly. but how i see flying mounts is to help the leader of nodes/castles a homefield advanatage with the aerial support. That being said you get rare ones that anyone can have for a short duration and i feel this is something you use when your about to attack a place to counteract the defender getting the bonus of aerial support for the attacks if they spend the time to get one before going into seiges since they only last like a week or something.

I will say one thing i wouldnt be against flying mounts being leashed to the castle/metropolis that there in and can only be taken out x Distance from these nodes say within there vasseled node area this way they cant be used to bypass long distance travel and more used around defence of your territory than a travel mount for the few.
Node/castle flying mount should despawn (aka fly back to their node) when they go out x distance leaving the mayor to land in that area and continue normally this also help with people using the flying mount as packmule to carry stuff safely back and forth to sell however im assuming resouces will not be allowed on flying mount to fix this but would armor or weapons by pass this since there technically equipable and not bound so i could buy gear set in one town fly it to another strip and sell them for a profit if flying mount can go across the world without a leash.

People should be able to fly anywhere imo, if her needs to be limits on how much they carry that is fine. They are rare and earned to begin with, rather it not turn into a gimmick.
