DerJoker.9081 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 It would be really nice to be able to dismount it midair to use updrafts for example... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega.6801 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 As much as I'd love to, it would probably break more stuff than fixing an inconvenience is worth. I'd rather get a mastery that lets my griffon use the updrafts and lay-lines instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tekoneiric.6817 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Either dismount or updrafts. If updrafts; they should behave slightly different than with the glider. Fast flight thru an updraft should just give a slight bump, normal flight should give a bigger rise in elevation and only when you cut forward momentum should it act like gliding updrafts. I really think it would be difficult for them to do ley-line gliding with the griffon. I don't think ley-line is really needed with the griffon.

Ayakaru.6583 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I’d like to be able to dismount from the gryffon, but I understand why we can’t do it. For that effect I don’t want anet to implement this. It will allow for a level of breaking this game that we can’t possibly begin to comprehend.

Wildon.7618 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I hit the "only if" option as more of an undecided vote...I know there are times I really want to dismount, but I also can see the concerns for where it could cause problems. Griffon flys a lot farther than a glider, there might be places that could be broken by flying to an updraft on the griffon, then switching to a glider to go up, then back to the griffon again to fly farther. Just seems like it is something that could have some rather unintended side effects. Maybe if they made it so that once your on the griffon you can't use a glider until you land or something?Although with a little practice I am finding the desire to dismount in mid air to come less and less. With the griffon I can come to a complete stop in mid air to drop straight down where I want to land, or use dive to go down even faster than falling if I don't need to land right on the x:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElderNewt.5840 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 ONLY if once we dismount we cannot remount untill we hit some sort of ground. No remounting mid air after a dismount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flog.3485 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 If you know you are bound to use updraft at some point, why mount up in the first place ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrilana.1396 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 We intentionally disallow dismount in midair as it can break stuff such as having players to use springer to launch themselves really high in the air and then glide.http://dulfy.net/2017/08/31/gw2-mounts-guild-chat-livestream-coverage/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Yes, the Griffon Mount needs some serious tweaks. Being able to dismount midair and switch into glinding would be my no. 1 priority.It would also be nice to be able to use updrafts (and maybe leylines, too).

Fallesafe.5932 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Since we've had two new masteries with LWS4 that are absolutely useless, maybe the next one could be griffon updraft to make up for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blocki.4931 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 No. There is a reason you're not able to do that and it is exactly BECAUSE you're not supposed to be able to take updrafts. The Griffon is optional, it shouldn't replace a mechanic that was introduced in the previous expansion entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fundor.2098 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 It would be a nice quality of life update to be able to dismount the griffon mid-air, so updrafts and ley-lines could be used with the glider. However, making gliders completely useless by having the griffon be able to use them shouldn't happen.@"Ayrilana.1396" said:We intentionally disallow dismount in midair as it can break stuff such as having players to use springer to launch themselves really high in the air and then glide.http://dulfy.net/2017/08/31/gw2-mounts-guild-chat-livestream-coverage/I can see why Anet decided so before the launch of PoF, but then again with the collective experience we now have of riding the mounts in each map, how much would it honestly affect our gameplay? There's always places you can climb with the springer and then glide from, you'll just have to look for them longer and find ways to go around places. If you ask me, being able to dismount the springer mid-jump and continue by gliding or mounting the griffon would just be a quality of life update as well.Also, here's a person who still isn't a fan of the soaring air dive update. Griffon was way more fun when the air dive could be interrupted even after the wing flap. :/@Cynn.1659 said:Dismount, glide, mount , flap, dismount, glide, mount, flap.

DerJoker.9081 Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 My intention was not to have infinite flight available, but to be able to is pure updrafts.

It's really frustrating to not be able to use them (verdant brink I'm talking to you) It would be cool to use updraft (or even leyline) with a griffin, but frankly, this features should require a mastery track behind it, so that it is fair for everyone to get it.
