NineShadowEyes.8513 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I pretty much only do bosses in this game. Which means I spend a lot of time with my toon at a gather point as we all wait for the boss event to start. That used to be just fine, but now all the skyscale people are hovering above the gather points and all I see on my screen is flapping wings. So I have to go stand somewhere else. That's not right. 9 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farohna.6247 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Unfortunately some people are inconsiderate that it might be annoying to others to have their flappy mount continuously hovering. Love my skyscale, but I don't like the flapping blocking the screen either. Please consider your fellow players and land in a safe spot when in group events or world bosses, thanks! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 This complaint came up back when skyscales were first introduced. As said above, some people are just inconsiderate whether it be by choice or not. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how it's impossible that anyone could have avoided experiencing this, so they all know what they are doing, it is a wilful choice.

Blindefender.9834 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I really enjoy all the flapping Skyscale wings; I especially like it when all the wings flap in unison, like a beautifully choreographed dance. What I really hate is all those people standing around on the ground, waiting for the Boss to spawn. That really bothers me! Why do they have to show up so early for these Boss events anyway? Actually, I don't care one way or the other; after all it is an MMO game, so I expect to see folks hanging around. If it bothered me, I would play something else. 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manasa Devi.7958 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) I love hovering on my skyscale, especially at a low altitude so I'm kicking up dust clouds. But, I'm willing to compromise: I'll stop flapping as soon as people stop dressing up like neon signs crashed on top of xmas trees.

Cuks.8241 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 The Hot HP train has become screen full of flaps. It's quite inconsiderate to new players that don't have Skyscale because the commanders will often do the no mount or raptor only routes (which are usually faster then slowscale anyway due to all the shortcuts) but learning players won't see anything anyway because all of the flaps. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veprovina.4876 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I never knew Skyscale hovering was bothering anyone lol, they're usually very much above the ground, how are they bothering people with it? 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different experiences, I suppose. I see many players on skyscales hovering just above ground enough to kick up dust. When there are multiples doing it, it can be annoying. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardenwolfe.8590 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Let's see: 1. No aura effects. 2. No wings. 3. No backpacks. 4. And now no flapping wings from mounts. Anything else we need to remove? Maybe, no Guild Wars 2? I know, I know. Players are so inconsiderate of your needs. 2 6 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky.4861 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I'd rather they removed skyscales before minipets on crowded maps and on lower character limits. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this IS an MMO, you can't expect to be completely alone. Especially at meta events that are impossible to do solo, of course people gather there... 4 hours ago, kharmin.7683 said: Different experiences, I suppose.

I could see how tat would get annoying but there's other places to stand and well, Skyscale is a long collection, they earned their right to hover at event spots. 😛 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Repetitious movement of that type can be annoying however since you’re somewhat afk and don’t need to see the screen you can angle your camera so it’s not visible and/or you can open up a panel and move it to block the motion. They’re just playing the game and unless they come to the forum to read the thread where someone complains about it they’re very unlikely to know that it bothers some people. Expecting strangers to change whatever harmless thing they’re doing based on your dislikes isn’t going to get you very far. It’s better if you yourself do something to change what you see. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I eventually get my skyscale I'm going out Christmas tree griefing. It's very true though. Christmas trees are a far worse hazard than any skyscale. Christmas trees break my immersion, offend my eyes and generally cheapen the game. Skyscales on the other hand add to the immersion, look kitten cool, and when they kick up the dust around you, well, that's double cool.

I was merely agreeing that those who hover low (seemingly on purpose, just to annoy) can be seen as inconsiderate. I have my skyscale, and I don't hover low where players congregate. Do you? If so, why? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
