Mounts

Who wants them in GW2?

I say... they'd be total pwnage... I kinda wish GW2 will be like Silkroa in that there arent any portals and stuff so you can kinda roam and be leet and all that jazz.

Anyway... mounts are ftw in any game... i can see my monk roaming around on a beastly beast while healing my team. Mount kiting ftw ^^

I think that'd work in the GW universe quite nicely.
Having a class based around mount expertise would be very enjoyable, actually.

So hell yeah, why not.

Hells yeah I want me a lizard mount just like from episode 2 or was it 3.. What ever Obi or who ever was riding on.

I have a question : will we be able to map travel in GW2 ?

If yes, I don't really see the use of mounts.
If no, please give us mounts because I will be annoying to go from one town to another...



In GW1, there's no use for mounts, except to look good on it.

More e-peen and grinding for the perfect mount imo. Don't need it.

No.

Mounts would be the new e-peen. Mini-pets are bad enough.

But I like e-peen!

Wow, that sounded homosexual.

There will be E-peen. I don't really care what form it's in. If people want mounts, give it to them.

If they want mounts they should bugger off to WoW. GW already clones WoW enough. (yes, I'm aware WoW wasn't the first to do mounts, but it's GW closest rival)

I think GW2 will cater to a lot of large demand for certain features requested by a large part of the playerbase that's looking for a new game, mounts being a prime example. Whether it's needed or not, I think demand will be a large part of the development.

If GW2 is gonna be any good, it will keep map travel.

If we have map travel, we don't need mounts.

I don't want mounts in GW2, because if there's mounts, that's because there's no map travel. And map travel is epic win. kthx

They'd have to be careful with adding mounts.
Would it give an advantage in combat.
Would it be useable in Pvp.
Would a player have to work for a long time to get ones with the most advantages.
Would it lead to item stacking based advantages.
Would it make PvE mandatory to succeed in PvP.
It can break the game if not done right.
Currently the games I've played with mounts are PvE games with a flawed PvP element tacked on.

Map travel over e-peen mounts any day.

Now if they can incorporate both without making it too much like the mini-pet e-peen BS, then I can live with that. But, the day a certain mount is required for something is the day the GW discs become coffee mats

I feel the same way as Malice. GW felt like the first online rpg where it was about what the player was capable of not the character. In other online rpgs I played, the character's items were more important than the mind behind the character.
Delete the character and you are nothing in the game. In GW it was different. A really good player stands as a good player no matter whose character they are using.

I just want to ride a yak.

It'd be brilliant if the pets we dedicated turned into mounts. So glad I kept my Varesh.

You want to mount her that bad?

Anyway, I guess I can be serious for a sec or two. If mounts serve some sort of practical purpose that can't be fulfilled in some other way, sure, I wouldn't mind having one. But if we have faster means of travel, no real point in putting mounts in GW2.

DO NOT WANT



That being said...if we must endure mounts, I'd prefer that they function similarly to ranger pets. Give us a variety from which to choose, but make them all more or less the same.

Lol, well we got minipets, that other than looknig cool serve no purpose. I suppose if mounts were purely cosmetic, and it didnt make a difference if you were using them or not, then why not?

Although they may conflict with this class: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Iron_Legion

Fore those of you that are too lazy to press link, two words...

Seige Devourers

Maybe one more word for those of you that have not clued in...

Charr

if there is a similar class for each race, then i think mounts would probably be implemented ingame for these specific classes (to each race).

added: Or added ingame as the form of Large-scale pvp seige units (yes there will be a large scale pvp in the mists, as stated in several sources like magazine articles).

/facepalm

Again with the mounts. Go go Bear Cavalry!
