Actually, it doesn’t anymore.
- The description of the Companion Riding attribute will now read “You can use the skill while mounting a companion” instead of “You can mount a companion”.
Do you even read patch note?
So?
you want to say?
FYI im not really talking about how we can attack and skill with mount.
i didn’t say i dont like you’re opinion, not even thinking im better than you lol its just that this topic is pointless , you see im even giving you an advise to save yourself from being trolled, anyways i respect how you feel, but you should’ve anticipated that this was coming if you’ve played other mmo’s they all have mounting system to make foot-traveling much faster. k i go inside the box now have fun bai.
No its not. I don’t recall people going around using the term or phrase in any way. Making ■■■■ up doesn’t make you smarter in fact it does quite the opposite.
We shouldn’t allow people to have companions, because… Hunters
I DON’T GET WHY THIS IS SUCH A HUGE DEAL TO THE OP.
Hear this lad IMC, make the companion give us +4 movement speed without mounting as a penguin owner or better yet, let us fly to avoid clashing with mounting classes.

If only the devs think something like that before releasing the penguin, it’s too late already. I’m just on the line of why make it mountable? We can’t deny the truth that in all mmo premium shop there’s always move speed increasing item equip or pet. But why not just make it increase move speed without mounting? Ain’t that plain understand.
I was being sacrastic. This shouldn’t be a huge issue to you as well. Take it as a cute way of selling a product. Gameplay-wise has no imbalance which is the most important.
I’m just saying what I feel about it.
bait is all i see here. don’t get me wrong, i don’t own that penguin. i’d rather put my tp for token or my character’s cosmetics. nothing wrong with penguin being mountable. soo all i see here is a bait

Not that I care either way whether or not people can ride the penguin, but why do people mention being dismounted like it’s some huge negative balancing factor. Other games, getting dismounted can be a big deal as some don’t allow remounting once in combat, or have cast times that are interrupted by damage, but here? Alt+up, bam, done. Don’t even have to suffer through some mounting animation. When you get knocked off the mount are you stunned? Nope. Thats why the Lancer being able to knock people off their mounts is a mediocre gimmick at best.
I mean yes, sometimes your companion wanders off sometimes to attack random things so you may have to chase it a little, but since noone ever really spends money on pet food, the pets have no stam and move incredibly slow so you don’t have to chase them far anyway.
I think the issue isn’t with the actual pet, or even the fact that anyone can mount it. It becomes more of an issue when one of the unique features of the class you picked becomes readily available to everyone else. Im looking at you pardoners.
In this instance, the damage isn’t that bad. But what about the next time, or the time after that, there will come a time where a line will have to be drawn and people typically look towards precedents. “But that time was ok, why not now?!” and etc.
tl:DR The mounts are fine, the future implications are not.
As someone who mains a cata3 and has a hunter, I don’t see any problem with it.
The added fixed 30 (40?) pDef & mDef might have a hint of P2W. I even think Hunters should’ve had the riding attribute as well and (while this may seem going the OP route) can use Hunter pet skills while mounted.
Even before the game went into CBT and was just being advertised we already saw in the videos that there was a party or group of seemingly differently dressed players riding mounts which gives the impression that this game will allow all classes to ride mounts.
At the core, it’s simply QoL for other classes who doesn’t have any movespeed increase source other than the token.
Also, the penguin actually benefits hunters and mounted classes even more since it has better stats than all other available mounts. The food maintenance is just a PIA though, especially for hunters who can’t mount it (it dies faster to attacks, RIP stamina).
