Yes, flying mounts!

Volgore

Q: Will there be flying mounts?

A: Yes! the world is built for flight and Wildstar will provide flying mounts. We have a variety of flying mounts and experiment with different kinds of powers. We are using a lot of effort to make sure that movement is fun. 50% of your time playing an MMO are spent moving around and it has to be fun. This is why we have super-speed, super-jump, double-jump, or loftite for ground movement.
We tease a lot of these high level things like flying mounts in quests, or environmental effects, where we throw you in the air and you need to land somewhere, get a speed-buff for a temporary mount or flight with limited access. As you get to higher level we give you more abilities to choose and then a permanent mount with some abilities. The philosophy is to give you movement types early on and you can choose the movement type that you enjoy the most.

Releasing flying mounts, as awesome as it would be, would be a huge mistake. I hope they don't.

Happy Easter everyone!

Flying mounts is fun but it's also the thing that ruined wow, to be able to fly over content is failure well atleast to me.

But I am sure there are 7 million wow players who love it so I could be wrong

Flying mounts ruin mmo's and destroy the scale of the world.

 

Main reason I left wow

He cant, it doesnt exist.

The latest dev post about flying mounts was a tweet saying they would not be in the game at launch.

Wildstar will have flying mounts eventually, the people that do not like them are just in denial.

This only occurs when you add flying mounts to fill the role of regular mounts (to skip content) and nothing else.

A well designed aerial content make the game even better when you try to fly over an area and you get enemy npc guards or just flying enemies and you can pew pew them in the air, but you also take the risk of falling to your death if they drop you dont fight wisely. If you just copy/paste an old system and dont try to improve/change it then you are doing it wrong.

 

EDIT: Also, if im not mistaken, isnt housing like little floating islands? flying up there makes more sense than instantly teleporting there. IMO.

There is flying in the game. But it is restricted to areas.

Flying ruined the scale of wow, plenty portals and taxis do the job perfectly. Scientist and explorer paths demonstrate perfectly what you get from not having flying.

This thread should be locked the OP info is wrong!!!!

If they ever do flying mounts, it should be like in SWG!

Flying mounts didn't ruin WoW, which how it did is beyond me as there are other things that ruined it more than others, but its intigration.  You don't do anything in the open world besides farming and leveling which you needed to be level capped or darn near it to fly in the zone, that is what killed the open world and not flying mounts.  Flying mounts would be kool if it served a purpose like some sort of flying racing minigame or access to certain content only reachable by flying mounts and not just an upgrade from ground mount.
