Nausea incoming! :p The way I see it we have 2 fast mounts (roller and griff) 1 horizontal jumper, 1 verticle jumper, and 1 special teleporter (jakal) and one low hover mount (skimmer). With SKyscale we now have a climber/high altitude hover type. Griff is highly responsive already. Its a nice change of pace for a more calmly calculated approach to terrain traversal.

Perfect Skyscale description.But it's a shame the mount is quite useless for normal gameplay. Yes, some enjoy sight-seeing and taking their sweet time to explore the area, but for most part you have to get from A to B fast - and that's where the Skyscale fails and you will always arrive last when in a squad.I hope they will either remove exhaustion or change the rules for involuntary descent or make it ascend/descend faster. One of the three would already make for a huge improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After only a few days, there have been many times the Skyscale has got me to places that would have been hard to find or reach using other travel methods.

Tekoneiric.6817 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I wish they would make a short of jumping puzzle for the springer which would work for the skyscale also. Make it with a serious of counter rotating sections leading up high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobrakon.3108 Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 Skyscale can be faster than bunny+griffon or just griffon depending on the terrain. Essentially there will be situations where all the various mounts will be faster at any given point. You also have to consider the time saved by not switching mounts. I have to also note that skyscale to griffon is a great combo. If they fix bond of faith causing skyscale to sink like a rock after using it then Im sure griff to skyscale will be great as well. A suggestion I would have that would alleviate the worries of spamming bof would be to allow only 1 or 2 stacks or bof to replenish the skyscales flight meter before touching down on land. That way it just can't be endlessly spammed between griffon and skyscale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
