Just wanted to say that to start with I also had trouble with the raptor. It seems much better on the asura than on a human sized character. The asura model seems to sit lower into the mount.
The main issue to me was when turning. There is a delay and my brain interpreted that as the mount being heavy when changing directions. This meant that when it did finally turn it seemed to be turning really quickly as if the mount was really light instead and only needed the smallest touch to turn. The disconnect between the impression of turning something quite heavy to it suddenly becoming really light and moving quickly made me feel a bit dizzy and sick.
I don’t normally become sick in games – except when watching someone else move in a FPS sometimes – and I did eventually get somewhat used to the feel of the turning raptor. As I said – much better with a very short asura than with a human.
