First of all, I know that similar topics were created in the past, but I want to draw your attention to the important problem.
Recently I’ve bought the Sky Golem mount in order to save money by not buying Model - Hardened Stirrups all the time. Unfortunately, a few minutes later I realized that I won’t be able to use that mount. Flight animations makes my eyes hurt and I’m starting to feel sick even when I’m trying my best to not look at it and focus on minimap.
I know there are people with similar problems, some of them are even getting motion sickness. In PTR Blizzard has removed the swaying of the tent on the Vulpera racial mount, because of it getting people sick. Sky Golem’s animations are really harmful and something must be done with it. We can’t just discriminate people like “just don’t use this mount”. We also want to have herbalism mount on our own and not be forced to buy stirrups all the time. Not mentioning that all the gold spent on the mount itself is wasted when we just can’t use it.
To be clear - I know a lot of players like these animations and have no problems with that, so I’m not asking to change that - only to add a “Toggle animations OFF/ON” option. There is a mount with the same model already (Lightforged Warframe), so Blizzard could import his animations to Sky Golem.
I must say I would like something like this or another alternative to the goblin golem mounts for herbalism. I hate how it just doesn’t want to land!! Whats up with that haha
I would rather dismount/mount every time than use the golem while farming herbs, that swaying from side to side is really annoying, sometimes you can’t even line up on the herb.
I can’t stand the way this mount looks but I absolutely adore it’s animations. It’s the one good thing about it
I’m not so sure if a toggle like that would be easy to implement. It’s probably easier for them just to make a new mount with the same perks but with a different animation. I’m not against it, just pointing out changing animations is not part of the UI.
Won’t solve the core issue but until anything is done to the animation you should consider using the tanaris elixir (forgot its name but you can buy it for a few silver each and it can either turn you into a skeleton or make you much smaller)
I find it much more bearable when you have a mini mecha flying around rather than the big one.
Thank you for your support!
The temporary solution I found to this problem is flying with max zoom in. It feels like playing FPS. It’s not very comfortable, but it’s much better than watching that swaying.
Nevertheless, I hope Blizzard is aware of this problem and in the future they’ll make some changes.
I use one of the herbing mounts while doing the necessary but I do not like the animation on it. Fortunately it does not make me feel travel sick. A toggle would be nice or the ability to have a non swaying mount for herbing.
