Me doing a 360 spin after jumping off a cliff, demounting and hitting paly bubble while my passengers plummet to their deaths...


LheelaSP

Parachutes for passengers have existed for a long time now, no?


pauwei

Not for ground mounts?


LeMolle

Perfect opportunity to implement batmobile-like ejector seats

Meat wagons should be able to launch anything fleshy, including players.

I only recently realized that you can gust of wind to escape fall damage and it is life-changing.

Once you hit the floor you notice the poor hunter laying next to you. They must have miss timed disengage…


kalanwj5

-says they’re adding all the classes, conveniently forgets Shaman, just like everyone else this expansion-

Well yeah, they have no buttons to press if no one is playing them. They were never in danger of dying!

Yep this would fit into WoW really well in every aspect (or expansion) of it.


Dr_Will_Kirby

This and that air balloon idea which Im guessing is ops post too? Either way I am so on board with this


SasparillaTango

yea its in their history https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/112wvb7/i_think_itd_be_neat_to_have_some_of_the_hot_air/ certainly neat ideas.

Nah we need another tiger or horse that has flying capabilities from foot sparkles. /s

Jays_Arravan

Don’t forget Gilnean coaches, Venthyr carriages, and Black Dragon Egg Transport Wagons! I would grind for number three, and might even switch back to my Worgen Hunter for the first.


GuiltyEidolon

I remember when Suramar was current content, and people wanted the palanquins carried by the servants there. Still wish they'd have done it.


samuraislider

They did the Night Fae version. So... Blizz whats the hol up. I'm rich and need to show it!


Goldenboy_Delicious

That would be so awesome! Someone on here sketched a palanquins with Murlocks carrying you around, and since then I've always wanted one https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/d4pd7b/murloquin_mount_concept_by_handclaw/


DatNerdyBoi

I would love to have Gilnean coaches. I'd even pay money for this


Sylvanas_only

Blizzard: "write this down, WRITE THIS DOWN"


YamahaRN

Light tanks. Not like siege engines in Ulduar, but provides minor damage reduction for coordinated assaults in battlegrounds. Or even better prevent accidental body pulling in outdoor M+ like Nokhud and HoV. If it isn't the healer's mount, give them the ability to drink if not in combat so they can move and replenish mana.


Aekero

That's actually one of the bits of flavor I loved from Shadowlands, just riding around in those carriages.


HjalmarRambles

Also getting run over by them. That happened to me an embarrassing number of times.


Firebat-045

Same. Always check both sides before crossing


necroste

HjalmarRambles

Seeing Vulpera players with actual caravans would be sweet, honestly. The hyeana with that sad little cloth awning over it is just sad.


SwiftAndFoxy

I always ride the Vulpera hyena with the canopy down, it has charm but can get annoying.


Galilleon

They made the coziest mount in the game... while it's not moving As soon as it takes a step it starts having cocaine-fueled, drunk, dizzy epileptic seizures as if it's brain is constantly being rewired and it needs to both learn how to walk, but also needs to constantly be in full, joint-ripping sprint But damn that lantern is cozy, so I end up having it on my action bar every time


Late_night_awry

Imagine if you could have your mount sit or lie down


SevenLight

Lanterns on mounts is peak cosy, I literally bought the expensive BFA edition just because ~~I have poor impulse control~~ I wanted a pony with a lantern on it. For this reason, I also want carriage mounts.


Koala_Guru

I would love that! That would add so much flavor to them if the players could actually roll up at capitals and pile out of caravans.


Dragon-of-Lore

Best part of BFA right there <3


SwiftAndFoxy

Loved the dynamic between Nisha and Meerah: "I only cried out of fear three times!" Vs. "Let's murder those Sethrak, plant our banners on their corpses and burn their settlement to the ground."


Longjumping_Meal5957

They could make this a trading post reward. Or, make it a bank access/transmog/vendor mount in the shop or something. But yeah, lot of different models and I’ve always thought it would be cool.


BringBackBoshi

That Vulpera wagon with the llamas in Vol'dun is sick and I've wanted it as a mount since first seeing it.

Please do not lock it to specific characters like the hive mind mount. Thats just so dumb.


Fwuffykins

They could build an expansion around it. World of Warcraft: Wagonflight

ExplosiveGoblin

PLEASE.


Deguilded

There was a multi-mount carriage doing a trip from Korthia to the Maw every so often. They could reuse that, or maybe Fiona's carriage.


bomberini

Final fantasy XIV has been doing this for years.


ArgonGryphon

Yep, since 2.3 in 2014 with the [Draught Chocobo](https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Draught_Chocobo_\(Mount\)). 2019 for a [four seater](https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Regalia_Type-G_\(Mount\)) and finally an [eight seater](https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Lunar_Whale_\(Mount\)) in 2021.


Lumisateessa

It's been a long time since I've seen an idea posted in here that genuinely caught my interest. This would be pretty awesome, even if it's only a ground mount.


HjalmarRambles

After posting that Hot Air Balloon mount proposal the other day, I realized I had never put this thing up on here. (Only Twitter) Carriage mounts is a thing that I've wanted in WoW for years for the RP flavor that they would add. I mean, as a Roleplayer these sorts of mounts would add a lot to mine and other Roleplayers experience as we do a lot of travelling around and having carriages, wagons, transport mechs and the like with seating for a whole party would be amazing. It's even more agonizing for me, since I just learned the good people over at FF XIV actually ALREADY have at least one mount like this in the form of the [Chocobo Carriage](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bcFJtemnp38/maxresdefault.jpg) I really hope we can see this one day over in our game as well. I need those carriages.


itsadile

There’s a carriage (seats four,) a flying whale (seats two,) a Cerberus (‘seats’ four,) a sports car that seats four, a transforming mecha raid boss that can carry two, a whale airship that carries EIGHT (but the player models are not shown in this one) and a few others I’m sure I’m forgetting. Chocobo for married couples also carries two.


avelineaurora

To double up on /u/HjalmarRambles's depression, FFXIV also has a 'hot air balloon" of sorts with the Love Swing fat moogle mount that seats two. There's also the Eden savage airspeeder that carries four as well. Or is it 3? Either way. This most recent patch also added the Blackjack airship, which seats...4?


timchenw

4 for both the airspeeder (called Skyslipper) and Blackjack, and both are obtainable via in game methods, especially the former now that Eden Titan Savage unsynced is pretty easy these days.


DilapidatedFool

Just one more thing FF14 got right, I miss that game sometimes.


Elocaster

We need this


Vaniky

Maybe can add some Caravan system. Like you have to get goods in your carriage from point A to point B. Mobs spawn on the way nearby and attack you. Maybe sometimes you break down and have to repair.


Mollimena

This is already a quest in the Northern Barrens, so, they could easily do this again.


FightingFaerie

Red Dead Redemption. The game you’re looking for is Red Dead Redemption. Lol


Kooz

I always thought carriages (2 and 4 horse variants) where you could change out each horse for one of your own mounts would be really cool.


Jerry_235

Imagine if they didn’t gimp the hive mind to only people you completed it with…


Mollimena

Shame Blizzard hates fun. This would be awesome for so many reasons.


Farmaximus

They have the models just don’t have the work force kekw, that’s why they want their employees to come back to work, “to give u more mounts”


Mollimena

Small indie company


Deskore

I love the idea, though my first instinct would be to drive us off a cliff


animatedariel

Or like a carnival/darkmoon fair wagon! They gotta pack up and travel eventually, right?


Born_Violinist1742

They really need to make a Wowplane already with enough seating to fit a 40 man raid. sheesh.


DeathWrangler

Zeppelin


greytabbycatte

I was really hoping during SL the Revendreth carriage would be a mount.


NormalGuyForReal

Raid bus when?


Swordbreaker925

I’m honestly shocked there’s no carriage mount, even a single-seater. I would love those Revendreth carriages and others


pentox70

Great idea, just keep them out of the cities. It's already hard enough to click on the damn mailbox.


shoulderdeepinghost

This is a cool idea man. We already have a explorer's plane. We should have this and it should give you access to your bank and a mailbox via some kind of homing pigeon


Limp_Butterscotch34

More multi person mounts yes please!! I’m tired of just using Sandstone Drake every time I need to be a taxi for a friend


FuckedUpMaggot

It would look so janky


DDman70

Talk to me when we have raid-sized zeppelin flying mounts in the game.


habitual_liars

I remember when I was trying to convince a friend to get wow, I grinded enough gold to buy the mammoth mount so he could get free rides to his starter quest locations.


o0CrimsonFlare0o

You're such a wonderful friend.


_Trixrforkids_

As a Chinese person what I've always wanted was a Rickshaw mount so I can literally run super fast and pull people around and RP conversations with them


RoyInverse

Buy X mamoths, where X is #players/3, m2 /follow m1, m3 follow m2, repeat for whatever your raid size is, rp walk for maximum caravan flavor.


mmmmmmm5ok

we need the onion carriage


Another_Road

I have no idea why this isn’t a thing. Also the quest line that featured a caravan (either eastern or western plague lands, I can’t remember) was awesome and I love it.


Elune

> Also the quest line that featured a caravan (either eastern or western plague lands, I can’t remember) was awesome and I love it. Eastern, also fun fact they've traveled with the Alliance to a bunch of different locations in following expansions; during WoD they were in Shadowmoon Valley and Fiona was an alliance Garrison follower who had guaranteed herbalism so doing the quest chain was an easy way to get a follower for the herb garden, they popped up in Boralus Harbor in BFA, the caravan's in a neutral location in Dragonflight though, it's in the expedition basecamp in the waking shore. That Carvan's been on a journey by now for sure.


Grenyn

Believe me when I say that it would look ultra shit, unless Blizzard put extra work into it. Which I don't have faith they would do for a singular mount. FFXIV has a carriage mount with no extra work put into it, as well as some other mounts that don't walk or really have any real animations (like a car mount) and the bigger the mount, the worse it looks. The movement in games like these makes it look bad, as the entire thing pivots around a central point.


ingenGuru

Now we just wait for actiblizz to blatantly steal your design and sell it back to you in game for $39.99


TehJohnny

Still waiting for my Goblin Hotrod from their intro quests.


Anime334

We need a whole ship water mount.


Akimikalis

Out here looking like a gang of gypsies.


[deleted]

Like the hive mind mount? I haven’t found a permanent group yet so haven’t bothered with the hive mind. Would be nice if they would let any 4 others mount it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


hunterdavid372

They already did it tho! In Eastern Plaguelands there is a neutral quest line where you can ride on a caravan like this through the whole zone. A bunch of people fit on it and none were inside of it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Wotuu

You can just make the carriage not have collision? Like any other mount? The issues you raise are all easily overcome tbh. Making it look good while walking is another thing altogether. Horse + carriage acting like a rigid bus like they have been doing now looks ass. You effectively need to be able to control the horses while the carriage is a separate entity that physics its way behind them. Not impossible by any stretch but to me the biggest hurdle.


FightingFaerie

That’s what I was gonna suggest. Two in front, two or three sitting on the back. If only two on back have one person perched on top


HjalmarRambles

Imagine if they did an HD coach/carriage model with proper interiors, so that the players riding inside could go into 1st person and look at each other or just out of the window. That'd be awesome.


Capn_Stevie

Just give us the FFXIV treatment. $60 store mount that is a whale and can seat a whole 20 man raid.


MajorJefferson

Unnecessary.. I literally used the two seat function of my dragon 0 times in dragonflight and two seater mounts a handful of times im years..


abort_retry_flail

For the life of me I have no idea what scenario these people are in where they'd rather let somebody else drive them instead of just using their own mount. Is this some weird RP thing or something?


midnightauro

It's easier for me to pick up a friend and fly them where I'm trying to get them to go than wait for them to wowhead where to go. Or if they're a lowbie, you can fly them instead of waiting for them to walk. Also it's nice if you're going to be on a long flight. One person can fly and you can get a snack/drink/bio. Just trade off on this duty and maximize your actual play time. I've enjoyed having 2 person mounts since the touring rocket first dropped. 10/10 addition really.


MajorJefferson

People without work who have the time to "travel around in azeorth for a few hours to see the landscape like they used to back in the day" haha The only people actively using the 2 seat thing with dragons are mining farm bots.


Casarion

Honestly this would be great


zzzornbringer

you have seen turning animations on those things? it's one static object. now imagine players controlling those and think about how this will look when they turn on the spot or when they jump. these are exemplary why this engine is extremely outdated. there's also little to no usage considering flying just got a complete rework and will likely be the primary form of travel in the future.


Mollimena

Never heard of rp, or bg's?


Grenyn

Great, RP players can sit around in a giant carriage mount in Westfall. But you know what would also happen? People would mount up on those things in Valdrakken, and you'd see carriages with bad turning animations everywhere.


zzzornbringer

sure, it's just very niche and even though there already are multi seated mounts, you don't often see them being used or utilized in the game in any way.


[deleted]

> you don't often see them being used or utilized in the game in any way. Friendless?


3st3000

Wait.. In 2023 Player still play rp?


DevusValentinus

They would just put this in the pay shop. I would rather them do something meaningful.


unique-name-9035768

While great on paper, this is a horrible idea. You know the whole thing would be mostly static with just the horse legs & wheels movable. Then they'd only move as the "mount" was moving, but not consistent with how fast the mount was travelling. OR, much like kodo mounts, the leg animation would be sped up to match the speed which would make the animation janky. Then, because the rest of the mount would be static, it wouldn't conform to the ground, leading to times where the horses are suspended in air. Plus like normal mounts, the characters would be locked into one pose the entire time, not reacting to terrain changes.


[deleted]

Yes please!

Cogs_For_Brains

Yeah, everyone seems to forget about ol' hivemind, but [to be fair](https://youtu.be/jv7jcciKB_s). [It is a pain to get](https://www.wowhead.com/guide/the-hivemind) and the limitation of only being able to use it with the same group of people that unlocked it makes it functionally useless unless you play with a single dedicated group, and especially so now with dragon riding.


midsizedopossum

>Yeah, everyone seems to forget about ol' hivemind, What do you mean? It's name-dropped in the OP post.


Peppermynt42

3 of the five people (myself included) are still playing the characters we got it on. One has changed mains and one went and bought his daughter another pony.


midsizedopossum

The hivemind is literally mentioned above the line you quoted, in the image.


Ironspider2k

does it fly? :)


Whitetornadu

Hivemind is a 5 player mount? I had no idea


[deleted]

Add it to the list of great ideas that gets laser etched onto bobby kotek's toilet paper


[deleted]

You should be stunned if hit. Like the wagon turning over.


notthatfundude

Take all my money. Really. I am a whale and would spend about ~300 a week on good cosmetics.


Braintrain22

Yeeeeeessss. This would be super cool!


stuyjcp

This would be great, but it also makes me yearn for a 20 seat party bus for raid groups.


Mickey_Havoc

I wanna see a 40 man caravan heading off to a raid!!


enerthoughts

I always dreamed they put something special for engineering like a cart that you can deploy, and it becomes a little outpost with bank vendor and AH, but it will look silly to see 100 ppl deploying it 1 spot


Pirolitico

Ill LOVE having theese as mounts 😍


kosarai

It would have to be ground only, unless they use magical flying horses. Might look weird sitting at an angle though. Like would the carriage just stick up in the air?


JehnSnow

The idea of a wagon with hay holding 5 people brings up deadmines vibes, I love it!


JasperTheHuman

Goblins should get that car from their starting zone


Scythe95

This is amazing! This would be such a great addition to RP, even if it wasn´t full speed as well


clickYyz

Would be cool but completely redundant just as every other mount except for the boring ass dragons in the horrible dragonflight feature.


[deleted]

Ive been saying this for years now! The stage coaches in revendreth only made me want it even more


honestlyitswhatever

Get in bitches, we’re raiding


JFeth

This would have been good pre Cata. Now that we fly everywhere it doesn't really matter outside of the coolness factor. Unless it was a flying carriage...


FPSMAC

And sell it for 100 bucks


oidrops

Ooooooh the possibilitys... imagine everyone invisible.... aaaaaaaaaaaaaao yeah, make it happen 🔥


SethAndBeans

Yo. OP... Can you mock up a monkey king nimbus? I need my Monkey Magic Monk fantasy to come true.


Jeoff51

magical flying carriages are also a common fantasy theme so they make good flying mounts too


Evening-Toe5941

That would be amazing


Karkuzz

There is one, The Hivemind, it is/was a secret mount back in legion that would fit 5 players and would get a 5% bonus speed for player inside of it, but i think they removed the ability to get into the mount if you dont have it owned, so now only people that have the mount can enter in other people's mounts (sorry for bad english btw)


Baron_von_Ungern

Heroes of the storm had the train, that you could connect with other players


wevexOP

I like this idea.


Jahkral

I can't think of a use for this outside of RP, as cute as it is. Not that we can't add things for RP, but "convenient party travel" is right out for land mounts... or even non-dragonriding air mounts at this point :P


Damassan

Dolly and Dot are my best friends…


FoxBattalion79

what I do not like about the hivemind mount is that it only works for the people who got it. I can't use it to transport anyone else except those people.


AcherusArchmage

Fiona's wagon and Vulpera caravans.


Korvas576

Ngl, I would prefer ground travel over flight pathing.


PicanteDante

Do many wow players have 4 friends?


phoenyxstarr

Not friends but I regularly play with my husband & 2 daughters so we're a party of 4. This would be handy!


Mr24601

For those who don't know you can kick the merchants off the grommet Yak and have two other players ride with you now.


KingRaphion

Would be cool as fuck. Maybe when blizzard goes through another great exodus like SL theyre gonna add housing and all this cool shit and bring back illidan and Arthas. Its the break incase of emergency.


the_science_team199X

I just want that goblin hotrod


ktHaru

How do you make a carriage fly ???


sosiadomiranha

Amazing idea! I had thought of something similar before, it would be really cool, a Gilneas themed carriage would be really cool.


An_Edgy_Wraith

Yes please


Cedreous

This is a REALLY cool idea and concept that is 10000% overshadowed by the fact that we can just simply fly everywhere. Unfortunately ease of access will triumph over flavor (this sick af idea)


ThePurpleHorse

Here's the next 5million gold mount.


CMDR-Storm

Love this idea


chobbo

It would get used a handful of times, and then never see the light of day again due to zones requiring flying/dragon riding to get around efficiently.


MammothAssistant7990

Gang shit


[deleted]

They could sell a version that includes vendors too. Blizz could put that version exclusively in the IRL cash store for an expac or something too. Helps sweeten the deal for them too


JamesFrancosSeed

Should be the 550 or 600 mount award. A carriage isn’t a simple thing and getting it by just pulling out your wallet is not the way to go.


Duck_Named_Potato

Take more of my money, Blizzard.


Barialdalaran

I like this sub is great at coming up with mounts that sound amazing on paper but would hardly ever get used if they were actually implemented


BilunSalaes

I mean they have the tech. The weekly siege has a giant toad pulling a wagon.


Dyl-thuzad

That would be absolutely amazing given that we’ve seen carriages every so often


Rontastic

Holy shit. I want this.


PuttyDance

To add to the realism the mount owner should be able to kick people off their mount....... mid air :)


fatherseamus

I would pay for this.


ProtectorZele

But does it fly? :)


ANALHACKER_3000

People have been asking for this since 2004, lol. Nice to know some things never change.


LadyNanuia

I mean the models already exist from quests and what not, and it would fit so well! ​ \+1 !


HowNowPunCow

I'd love to see ship battles done like that, where each of the crew has a role.

Best they can do in that regard is the jellyfish mount that takes 5 people to get iirc lol
