Lord Alfred.6541 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Hi guys, do you have the Hummingbird Mount? Then you might recognize the animation where the bird is flying to the left and to the right during movement. This animation makes it hard to control the Hummingbird since it is hard to predict its hitbox while the animation is playing. I would like it to be removed while moving. It can stay while not moving. What do you think? Please vote only if you have the mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocki.4931 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I know what you mean and I have raised that concern myself when it came out. However, once you remind yourself that you can only go one way at a time it becomes much less of an issue. You're not suddenly going to jank to the side when you've just been going forward and there are no turns tight enough where any type of adjustment from your reaction to that quick animation would cause you to get stuck. Just R to autorun and enjoy the ride :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Absolutely not. It is an integral part of the skin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samnang.1879 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 i demand a refund if its removed, it whats make the mount special it's unique animations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krypto.2069 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 OP, Thanks for the post! I didn't know the mount also did the left to right animations during traveling. VERY GOOD to know! :+1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamy Lu.3865 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I am part of those who get motion sickness if moving too much on a mount (fortunately in my case quite limited, but still...). The hummingbird movement is unfortunately a powerful kick for it. If I want to use this skin, I need to watch straight forward and avoid at all price to watch my mount. So, I cannot really enjoy it and better stay with another one. Sad but true. Therefore, I would be happy that it is removed while we move. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChronoPinoyX.7923 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Yeah, didn't think this poll would go in favour of removing it. Especially since it's one of the main features of the mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaklex.6308 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Odd, mine only goes straight ahead when I move forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben K.6238 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I'd prefer to keep it. If there's ever any particular reason I need to have accurate positioning, I wouldn't be using the notoriously drifty Skimmer in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodstealer.5978 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Nope leave it as is, its how it was designed to function and it kind of simulates what they do anyway.. all mounts have their unique features, likes and dislikes.. this is just such a non issue imo.

misterman.1530 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I just want an option to disable animations like that entirely. It's interesting the first time you see it, but afterwards it's like...."Geez, we get it. You paid real world money to flit around like a brony on a pony. Good for you, little guy. Now please quit "posing" and go actually play the game." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexxxDelta.1806 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 The hummingbird is one of the most distinct mountskins they have made and animation is part of that. I'm not touching overpriced kitten like that but I can see why the players who did would be reluctant to see one of its unique features removed. I could see a wave of refund requests if that was ever implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasind.3128 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Removing the animation to it would take away the reason to buy it, the animation is so unique to the skin. I'd request a refund if it were taken away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I rarely see these things in Open World PvE unless a few are hanging around a world boss waiting for it to spawn. The only place that I do see these in number is in city hubs like Divinity's Reach. For me, there aren't enough of these around to be so annoying.

Trise.2865 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Is it really so difficult to remember that your birdy Skimmer skin is still a Skimmer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miraude.2107 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I'd request a refund and raise a stink about the fact that the raptor does the same thing when you go to move from a standstill (that little hop before moving) and the roller beetle has a delay to movement (that curl up before rolling). I bought the skin purely because it was a complete with unique animations and not a copy/paste reskin like some of the others that are 2k gems. So as in the words of that meme, leave hummy alone.

Lilyanna.9361 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I'd call a refund. Lol. Don't care if you don't like it, don't buy it. Don't ruin my skin for your own personal gripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cragga the Eighty Third.60 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Have you tried [sea Bands](https://www.amazon.com/Sea-band-Adult-Wristband-2-Pairs/dp/B00J6P9U2Y/ref=sr_1_3?gclid=CjwKCAjwza_mBRBTEiwASDWVvoBRLMHxo6tEAqqA-fSihqUabmHNkzkmMFYbianh3D1up7rKsRcLdhoC5ZwQAvD_BwE&hvadid=241654489160&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9019085&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=e&hvrand=16653964248254362127&hvtargid=kwd-1722660173&hydadcr=26614_9892224&keywords=sea-bands&qid=1556911612&s=gateway&sr=8-3 "Sea Bands") for your hummingbird motion sickness? I didn't used to be able to play 3D games at all until I tried these, and now only the wonkiest stuff bothers me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zalani.9827 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I love that animation, it’s part of the skin and the unique animations is what makes it special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
