Mounts?

I was thinking it would be great if we could have different mounts to ride around on. Not only for a speed boost, but as a commodity. It would be great to collect and train different mounts.

Maybe this idea could even be extended to where you could have a profession who's combat is based around being on mount. That would be so much fun!

Question has come up many times before. No. GW 1 not designed for it.

Might be mounts in GW 2 later on but not confirmed.

no.
this game is in its final days anyway, and with no precedent for mounts in the game, it would require alot of effort that could be better spent on new content.
and as for a new profession, thats an even worse idea. i can tell that your new because you think the live team could possibly do this before guild wars two comes out.

Yes, this won't happen in GW1 sadly.
However, it might work as a disguise for Wintersday 2011, using the existing disguise like Juhundru, costume brawls etc. Halloween 2012 maybe disguise as a Necrid Horseman when you use an ancient artifact.

Sadly? Who needs mounts? Just another status symbol that really contributes nothing to the game

Already have minipets for vanity sales. It's annoying to see newcomers post such standard ideas so late in the game...

dont think mounts / flying will come to gw2, they want you to explore the world not just run / fly past it

There is mounts already.
- Junundu
- Siege devourer.
The reasons why they are limited to their own areas is the same reason why you should not have one.

As for vanity mounts that you ride on top instead replacing your model, they require complex modeling, and they don't have those resouces in the Live Team right now, and they only add trouble during fights, because of their size and such.

Lol, I've been playing Guild Wars since it came out And actually I should have said more specifically I wanted mounts in GW2.

I never liked the idea of mounts. Maybe one or two professions, the Ranger and maybe the Thief in GW 2 could have them. (The Ranger seems most likely to have one, and the Thief could use one showing he stole it), but I just find mounts lazy

We have map travel already. What do we need mounts for?
And if it's just to show off.. well no, we already have minipets and EL tonics

I hugely enjoyed my mount in Rift, but then you didn't really have the travel options you have in GW. There were some portals, but the places you could go were limited. I would rather have the mounts and ditch all the insta-travel outpost/towns.

No mounts for gw1 still in debate for the sequal though there will be no mounts at the start of the game.
Not certain but they could be added later in an expansion.

Arguments for and against but we are wearing down the no mount people.

In that case, take it to GW2Guru.
