Dragonriding - "Slow Down"-Ability or just Pressing "S" to slow down? - Mechanic Yes or No?

Hi guys,

i would love to know if you guys agree that we need a “Slow-Down”-Ability or just a function like that by pressing “S”.

We start to fly with high speed and crashing in every Quest-HUB, which just feels aweful. Yes, you can un-mount before you land but thats just a weird thing to do, isn’t it? I mean, we cannot actually overlook any places if we want, cause we fly with so much speed.

(Maybe there should be even “fall damage” by crashing brainless into places instead of slowing down a bit before you land - how cool would it look if some people slow down to land? But thats just another topic )

If we look at the cinematics or the ingame cutscenes or even the ingame dialogues, every dragon lands slow. Some even use their wings backwards to slow down, which just makes sense, otherwise he would be dead.

There is already an animation for it…

How would it work?

If you press the Ability (or “S” button) the dragon would start “leaning” back and push against the flight direction with his wings. This action would not cost any Vigor, its just slows you down, thats all. Maybe if you have more speed, its takes a few moments more to slow down.

How would you like that? If you like the Idea, push this, so the devs can see our feedback.

TL:DR, slow down mechanic? YES or NO?

Cheers

You can already sort of break by pulling straight up.

Yeah, but thats not the same and if you fly down again u get more speed aswell…

If you dont fly down it will slowly go down instead.

5

Yeah, but that takes 15-20 seconds. I want a quick brake and a animation for it. Maybe we see a rar emob, we want to break and slow down mid air to overview the stituation, but still flying slowly.

Throw caution to the wind and crash into it head first!

Not sure how it’s taking you 20 seconds to stop, I can literally reduce my speed to zero in 2 seconds and land anywhere by pulling up.

Build up stacks of Dragonrider’s initiative and dive bomb that S.O.B

A big no from me. If i want to slow down I will just fly up

Just find the area you want and fly in a circle over the area until you get a fix on where you want to land.

But yeah, it couldn’t hurt with an option to decelerate
