    Most people never listen. They are just waiting on you to quit making noise so they can.

    i just see mayors griefing player with flying mounts on my server by training mobs through POI as they fly around it then land and looteverything and fly off again and u cant chanse them to kill them while purple :P or the mayor harvesting which means u will never see a willow tree for awhile since they can snag them all up so much quicker just by flying around and seeing them from above.

    No mats on flying mounts, that's for sure.

    Agree flying should be disabled when you have something in the material tab

    Dear players, I welcome any messages in this topic, but the main question, or rather a request to the developers, is to give ordinary players the opportunity to fly for 1 day and I would like you to support this idea. I won’t lie, I pursue exclusively my desires. But experienced testers will be able to identify a couple more problems from a bird's eye view.

    My stance is still no flying mounts. But that would be a hard walk back for IS.

    I think it's okay to have flying mounts as long as they limit their movement. Just look at the skyscale mechanics in this video and if they tune it in the way that players can't be higher than x feet of the ground. It would keep the fun in this type of mount while it not being overpowered.

    Honestly, I don't care what they come up with as long as it's a fun gameplay.

    Nope. A lot of people want them removed completely.

    Yep

    Only GMs should have them.
  • RocketFarmerRocketFarmer Member, Alpha Two
    Should a flying mount have a percentage drop chance that is lootable upon the player’s death? Would that change player behavior of flying mounts to only bring them when it really matters? The flying mounts still go away after the mayor’s term, and anyone flying that dropped mount would have both street cred and a target on their back.

    Should the mount be tradable? No, a politician cashing in on his position? That’s not realistic at all.

    Thanks for sharing your feedback with us! Given the advantages a flying mount has over to a normal mount, it's likely that they remain fairly rare for awhile, but we'll pass your thoughts (and the others shared in here) along to the development team for consideration.

    IMO even for mayors/kings, flying mounts should only be useable for a very limited amount of time / month, perhaps only even in instanced battles as a one-time "oncall" ultimate ability. Infinite flying mounts out in the world allows you to circumvent all the dangers of many systems that are core to AoC.

    They should be removed, imagine making a game where the whole point is risk then giving a small portion of people the ability to avoid it entirely. You give people tools like this it will be used in unfair ways.
