Runieux Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) To whomever it may concern, I find the lack of creature-based mounts disturbing, all we have are Space-Segways, Space-Motorcycles and Space-Cars. There is a wealth of domesticated StarWars creatures at your disposal for mounts. Falleens, Bantha and even Hssiss. My personal favorite being the adorable Dewback of Tatooine. I urge you to reconsider your decision for "technology-based" only mounts and bring on the Dewback! Edited January 11, 2012 by Runieux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcatyoji Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 There is at least one creature taxi. On Aldeeran in the second zone you use what I can only describe as a flying giant Manta Ray. This was on the Imperial side of things tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostkitty Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Give it time friend they'll add it once some of the major bugs are fixed i'm sure it wouldn't be star wars without a lizard mount for the hot places or one of those weird goat raptor things for ice places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptwonline Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I want a Tauntaun mount! Seen them in game? It's quite clear they are Star Wars kangaroos! Perhaps they could have used some "your speeders don't work in the cold, so ride Tauntauns while you're here" story excuse to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZenBones Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 all we have are Space-Segways, Space-Motorcycles and Space-Cars. You forgot the lawnmowers... some of them look like push-mowers from a distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechavomit Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Yeah.. I'd love to ride a bantha through Kaas city! It would fit so well! But no, really, I'd love to see animal mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazikeen Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 If a Jawa can use the force then any creature can use Force Speed. If a creature possessed the intelligence to use the Force chances are you'd either 1. need some SERIOUS reputation with them to get them to let you use them as a mount or 2. wouldn't allow themselves to be treated like a common animal and mounted I do, however, wanna see someone mount and ride a Jawa. I'd laugh till I cried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twolow Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) Tech-based mounts are faster than creature mounts. Jet propulsion > wings/legs The truth behind it is they haven't designed a code for land based animal mount yet at all. I'm sure it will arrive in time in future content but as it is, it hasnt been done. Using the existing code wouldn't work (they have posted as much) because nothing comes into visible contact with the ground and clipping would be distracting as well as matching animations to speed and having correct animations (the up and down motions). So far, they haven't even gotten the up and down motions of the flight patch manta ray down yet as I cringe when I see my character clipping up and down on the saddle with the wing flaps.
