PhObLife.8370 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I just thought I would share a video with all of you of me flying from point A to B with my skyscale mount in Verdant Brink. Going up to higher places in a way I could not do before. I am not using any updrafts and I don't dismount either in this clip. Personally I do enjoy HoT maps with my skyscale because I think it really comes to it's place there! :) This is subjective however. Some players may think differently. We are all entitled to our oppinions. **It is a very simple video. Nothing fancy...** ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bast.7253 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I’ve always preferred vertical maps anyway. Just give a more grand sense of exploration for me. It’s really nice for tangled depths too. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irreverent.3594 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Yes VB is easy mode with Skyscale now. No updrafts needed :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarpan.9074 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I've always enjoyed SW on my Griffon. I need to go try it on the Skyscale, VB, too. Fun stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notebene.3190 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Nicely done. That’s some “playing the game” level of playing the game there. Enjoyed. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CETheLucid.3964 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 It's a really good mount. Don't be so quick to judge it based on the rental version in Dragonfall (Me). The masteries really do make it. It could be buffed by perhaps slightly reducing the sky juice/stamina decay or maybe making it use less stamina when taking off, but these are little things. It's really well designed and fun to use.

aspirine.6852 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I agree!! Not just Verdant, but probably all HoT maps. I think those maps are really good in the looks department, but navigating was always such a shit in those maps. With the skyscale it makes it so much better.

Teratus.2859 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Was able to easily break out of Caledon with it the other day and get so high in the sky over Orr I could get this close to the dragons flying around. [imgur](https://imgur.com/217Pj10) It's funny when people say giving the mount free flying would break the game, all the mounts being usable on old maps have effectively broken them in similar ways to this. Adding mounts to content that was never designed for them was obviously going to cause these kinds of issues, free flying skyscales would not change anything tbh.

I enjoyed the rental version as well even though it's a bit more clunky compared to the real one with maxed out masteries. You can climb up way higher with it maxed out. I experienced that the rental is slower at flying forward and the altitude dips down quicker than the real mount... > @"Teratus.2859" said: > Was able to easily break out of Caledon with it the other day and get so high in the sky over Orr I could get this close to the dragons flying around. > > [imgur](https://imgur.com/217Pj10) > > It's funny when people say giving the mount free flying would break the game, all the mounts being usable on old maps have effectively broken them in similar ways to this. > Adding mounts to content that was never designed for them was obviously going to cause these kinds of issues, free flying skyscales would not change anything tbh. Nice screenshot! ;) My oppinion is that the skyscale mount is OK as it is. :) Perhaps it needs some fine tuning but that's about it. It's too early to say because I haven't used it long enough to tell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhObLife.8370 Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 I am updating this post with a new video clip. Also changed the title of this thread to better reflect it's contents. This time I am at Southsun Cove using my skyscale to gain extreme altitude. Then I switch to griffon and dive down to gain extreme speed. Flying from one end of map to the other... ;) Note that it says "Mounts are not allowed in this area!" in the clip. This is because I accidently landed on the jumping puzzle in the starting area of the map and died in my first attempt to make this video. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessiejay.3625 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I got good skyscale practice from using it in casino blitz each day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
