I want to buy the magic carpet “mount” but I’m a little hesitant because a few days ago I saw an asura riding one and it looked very broken. The asura was standing up in combat and the carpet was shoved into the ground. Since I mostly only play asura and charr this is a problem, does it really look like that or was it just a graphical error?

Also if anyone would like to post a screenshot of an asura or charr riding one it would be very helpful.

I’m only here because sometimes I just like to watch things burn.

There are several issues with the carpet. The stuck on your feet as you run around bug (which causes it to kick up vertically and back down into the ground with every step) happens regardless of race.

Also, asura characters have the added issue where, instead of their eyelids blinking down and up as normal, while riding the carpet their actual eyeballs roll downward into the socket and back up instead of the eyelids. I’ve not seen this occurring on other races though, so it may not be an issue on the others.

There are also several other issues with them. I would not recommend purchasing it if any of these bugs bother you as they are unlikely to be corrected any time soon, if ever, due to the common practice of letting bugs like this go unfixed.

come on now.. did you expect any quality for the “non humaniods” ? Get real… you dont get nice things even if you pay exactly the same as other race playing people.

Thanks to StinVec for answering my questions.

I decided just to buy it and it looks fine aside from the asura eye bug. One thing that does bother me though is that you can’t turn your camera to see a different angle of your character while mounted. Which is silly because this is a cosmetic item.

You can, just use left click to turn the camera.

I just hate the way the carpet doesn’t have any animations for jumping, stopping or reversing like the riding brooms. Just makes it look very cheap and poorly thought out.

Yeah, I saw this today too on a Charr and not only does it look broken as butt crack, but it looks so out of place in the world. All around terrible addition in my opinion. =/
