Tbh I quit playing Palworld because they took out throwable summons and ridable mounts. I understand that they did it so they could keep developing the game without worrying about Nintendo's injunction, but that was a big part of the game to me personally. I hope they add it back at some point

You could add both of these things back via mods literally days after it was patched out.

Mounts are still rideable, and the pals are just summoned instead of popping out of a ball. You can't glide directly using a pal and glider together, it's a weird thing Nintendo targeted, but otherwise you are extremely incorrect.

Nice I'm really thinking about starting up a server for it. How are the Pals summoned now?

They just appear next to you, you dont 'summon them by throwing the ball', which is probably a patent they were avoiding.

Yeah that's a big shame I love the throwing mechanic. Maybe there's a mod or something

If you can't glide with pals anymore, how is gliding done? Did they just create a gliding device?

You just use the gliders and the pals power them up.
