Horseman's Mount - Swapping Mechanic

[Ground Zero]

Alright, as everyone know when you've got a mount that changes depending what zone you're in and scales along with it (ie touring rocket) you need to dismount and mount up again when you change zones to get the benefit.

Go to Krasus' landing and mount up, you can fly.
Fly over to the well in dalaran where it lets you fly without being dismounted, land on the grass there and you will notice you can't take off again but you still have the flying mount. You can run around with the mount and when you run to Krasus landing again you can instantly take off.

I'm looking into different ways to use atm.

Before you say it's working as intended, you need to dismount and mount to change the effects and you don't need to here. When you land you can't take off again but you keep the flying buff.

Edit: It seems if you log out in the sewers after landing by the well you can fly in the sewers without getting dismounted.

Erm what? I have the HH mount and if i mount up in dalaran i can just run into the stairs to the flight trainer and hold space to fly. Lol.

I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to explain, but since the patch you don't need to re-mount when you have a mount like the Touring Rocket or Headless Horseman mount. You simply mount up in Dalaran and ride to Krasus' Landing - then you can instantly take off without re-mounting.

Sorry to say this, but fail sploit is fail.

You no longer need to dismount to be able to fly where you can fly. It changes automatic.

If you have got the flying mount buff without beeing able to fly and you use the portal to shattrath city, your buff will be switched to the "normal" one (no flying) - but: You are able to fly!

It seems people read a few lines and then assume it's something different.

If you mount up so you have the buff that says:
Increases ground speed by 100%
Increases flying speed by 280%

not just the ground speed one, you go land with this buff on. Run into the sewers, relog and when you log back in you will be flying.

Hmm... it seems to be a client side display bug. If another player is viewing you, he will see the "correct" buff, depending if you are really using the ground mount or the flying mount. It does switch correctly, but it's just displayed wrong.

Yea, the only mount I have noticed that you have to dismount and remount is the Celestial Steed. The HH mount has always worked immediately.

Dude, stop trying to say people are assuming things.
This has been happening since the release of those mounts.
This is not an exploit, this is useless. Go back to Emulation imo.
