Sondergaard.8469 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I want to start out by saying well done! I feel like there was a lot done right with this mount. From the journey to acquisition to the look and feel of the mount it is an outstanding delivery.I found the utilization of the collections in this case to be far more enjoyable than past adventures. Primarily because there was much more lore to tie it all together and made it feel like more of an epic quest than previous iterations of collections. In many ways, the journey to acquisition of the Griffon is what I had hoped the collection journey for legendaries would have been like. The only thing that has me disappointed is you came so close to delivering a flying mount and then backed off and gave us a faster glider instead. It's so frustratingly close to a flying mount that it leaves that sense of... I wish you had just gone that extra little bit and pushed into that territory. I hope that at some point in the future it is a consideration. For now, back to enjoying PoF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malthurius.6870 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 It's better that it can't gain altitude above where it jumps off from. It does trivialize travel a lot if you can get to a high perch first, but at least it requires a set up and work to take advantage of; it also keeps it balanced in the face of the other mounts... all the mounts are still useful thanks to the Griffon being limited... not to mention it keeps gliders useful in the zones where they're appropriate because of ley-lines and updrafts; it would be in bad taste to make gliders completely obsolete in HoT and LWS3 zones.

Zoltar MacRoth.7146 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Do you feel like a wizard when you're riding the Griffon? ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladish.3940 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 If it could actually fly it would make gliders completely obsolete (given they are only one that can use updrafts and laylines to stay airborne nigh-permanently). Well done Anet I say. Can you imagine the outcry of all the people that would have essentially wasted their money buying glider skins too? People are already crying about refund for PoF because first two days of release were bugged (ridiculous idea in my opinion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch.4781 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 If they made it fly, not only would it make all the other mounts pointless, but it would also make gliding pointless. TBH, I find the griffin completely op atm and it's making a lot of existing content in the game completely obsolete.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodiak.4213 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I'm in the "no-flying" camp. Besides, i doubt anything smaller than a dragon could carry my fat charr behind, and still gain altitude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
