Mounts....

LOL

Have it so you can buy a peasant to run behind you clacking coconuts together. You must also have to buy the coconuts.

Be like a mini pet that you can take out that runs behind you.

/nah

useless...rather they spent their time implementing useful features to the game

there's no need for mounts in GW

Why does everyone compare every suggestion to WOW... World of Warcraft ISN'T the only MMO with mounts. Anyways, the only feasable way to have mounts would to do it FFXI style, get rid of "traveling" and make monsters not attack you when you're on a mount. (Or something like that effect)

Mount

-Pratical Use: Unecessary for GW, unbalance for travel.

-Cool Factor: Very.

Therefore I think its good to add it, but have to modify its use to be more than just a transporation, but more like a alternative pet of sort, possibly for a new class.

>.< Is no one reading my post?


edit: I realize that KD skills would be too powerful and Ele AOE skills would be mostly useless in a chase.

KD skills = would knock the rider to the side but the mount keeps running, you cant do anything until you "get up" back on to the saddle.

AOE spells like Lava front = These can be used as "cover" to protect your rear since you are ALSO being chased.

Exploration titles will have no meaning then, and you'll see every average joe with two points in Kind of a Big Deal.

it is both a good and bad idea

good idea in intresting and very cool, but if it costs a lot, too much, no one will really be able to afford them on normal amounts of cash, and you will lead into the money>skill

If it was maybe free or just used in missions then i can say, yes

...You just as much as "they're unimplimentable" so why request mounts...

Just go play WoW make an undead warrior and bam, you have your wish... After 2+ months of playing WoW for 4+ hours a day, that is.

i am sorry not having some type vehicles and mounts in a game now days is lame! every game dev know people love those stuff!

I can just see a mount running in gvg match ope we didn't bring ours.Nope this would be unbalanced .I can just imagine all the Monks out ther healing all the mounts as if a Rangers pet isn't bad enough.

exactly what GW needs - to be turned into mini-WoW.

wow is not the only game that has mounts! they popular for a reason

personly it would be cool if you as player can own

chariots
mounts
shills and other stuff.

I don't even think that has been done in in other moorpgs where you can own ships and chariots

But think about how cool mounts could make the game. Especially in PVP.

One map could be a bigger castle-siege type thing, but with actual npc armies. You would have cavelary, infantry and the siege turtles . I don't think mounts have any use in PvE travel, but missions, special events, and PVP battles could be made so much more epic Rangers or mounts? Could make interesting hit and runs

I mean really, the game needs something new and cool added into it... is it really that fun too endlessly farm for FoW sets? Why not add mounts and create a bucnh of cool new scenerios

*wants to see a squad of monks ride in on mounts*

~prime

agree with the guy above me that said the game needs something new and cool. To be different from WoW we should be able to battle on the mounts.That would really give GW an epic feel to it.

To silence all opposition.... just close your eye, imagin a Female Elementalist, riding on top of a Pony.... Trotting.

That alone is 5 hour of game play, just on first day.

nuf said.

Mounts would be a very, very bad idea if you think about it.

first off quote o vecte
"/Paladin - No true comparison yet. (Please don't compare W/Mo to Paladin, or I will cut you.)"
SOOO FUNNY LOL, especially with the cut you part, I lol'ed at that, Ima start sayin ima cut you.

Back OT about mounts, it would take wayyyy too long to implement them, and for Lyra's idea (sorry hun) it would take even longer, first off you have to make a completely new mesh and skeleton for mounts, you have to make new "mounted" animations for all skills, and what everyone else that /notsigned said.
And actionjack, that, would be frickin AWESOME! But they couldn't incorporate it.
but still

Wtf Is A Mount!
