should mount speed be increased by 50% or 100%

[Deleted]

No. They said tye current speed was as much as they can strain the engine.

Ground mounts though, definitly could see an increase.

[Treeskee]

Regular flying speed used to be 60%

stop bitching

"Things used to be worse, so why make them better." Great philosophy.

OT though, I really like the idea of increased movement speed on paths/roads.

[snackfeat]

No, we don't need faster mounts.

[Kuthe]

I'm okay with 100%, it's been this way for so long I don't see them changing it.
Although I am curious to what Pathfinder Part 1 gives us. The sabers in Tanaan gives us 20%?, hopefully Pathfinder gives 30-50% bonus, because after you've done 2-3~months of dailies you'll be pretty sick of walking at such a speed.

[Treeskee]

This so much, it's rediculous and only makes it annoying.

I think it's all up to personal preference. I mostly just use %s so it doesn't bug me much.

[Underverse]

No definitely not.

[Perkunas]

Can we just remove the world completely so I don't have to travel and I can just queue for shit from my garrison and get all the resources I need beyond worthless apexis crystals. Oh, shit we just had that last expansion.

[Dch48]

They're fast enough now.

[Deleted]

I'd love it if groundmounts were faster while on roads.

Great idea.

[SirCowdog]

i still think 310 % is slow maybe ad another 100% ?
for flying mounts

The entire system of mounts in WoW needs an overhaul. The dazing/dismount mechanic is garbage. Flying is basically a no-clipping mode that breaks the ground content or requires magic anti-air/dismount dust.

I think they should change mounts over to the vehicle system 100%. It would allow them a LOT more variety and options to use mounts in creative ways. Air combat could actually become a thing. Content could be created specifically for using mounts(ground, air, whatever). Entirely new forms of travel and terrain puzzles could be created, depending on the mode of movement a mount uses. Leaps like warriors use. Shadowstepping mounts. Blinking mounts. Mounts that can climb walls or cliffs. Gliding mounts. Water-walking. Swimming. Speed boost.

Hell, you could even make mounts a semi-permanent choice, like talents or spec. Give them an upgrade tree to unlock various new powers, speed, or abilities. Lock certain powers behind achievements or something.

There's so many more options available than just "troooollolololol move moar fastar!!!!!"

[Nahela]

No, we already get faster travel in terms of teleports/hearthstones and content is being designed around the current mountspeeds moreso than before.

[Xkiller9000]

Flying, no. Ground, 20-50% increase

[MORGATH99]

what we need its mount animation to go along with the speed you are moving

[Deleted]

Remove flying.

[Hammerfest]

Personally, I think they should get rid of 60% ground speed training and replace it with the 100%. I also think they should get rid of 280% flight speed and replace it with the 310%. Seems dumb to me at this stage to have those speeds in there.

[Zakaryy]

No.

It's perfectly adequate, and landmass on new continents tends to be the same size every expansion, so there's no need to increase it, especially for that much.

This isn't true. Legion continent is the smallest we have gotten yet.
If you've played beta, it's seriously tiny.

I agree with having no extra mount speed, however.

[Leyre]

Remove flying, increase ground mount speed by 100%, doing invasions made me realize how slow ground mounts are ( the +100% boost you get on stage 4 is fucking awesome )

[Katsutomai]

No. They said tye current speed was as much as they can strain the engine.

Ground mounts though, definitly could see an increase.

I.. What? Seriously? How in the hell is it "straining the engine"? I don't even...

[Deleted]

No. Just don't change a "running" system. Hah got it?

Rendering stuff fast enough and i suppose having the server data communicate fast enough for the stuff you are seeing to not be all broken.
Honestly, you have to ask a dev to get the technical details.
