Teleporting

Why do we have teleporting? Yes, it makes things alot faster but isn't very realistic(even though this isn't a very realistic game ).Maybe a movie of you in a boat or riding to your destination?

Why not just get rid of the teleporting? It seems to be the main reason people don't want mounts, other then using up the devs time.
So maybe a expansion pack for mounts?

I know the mounts have been discussed many, many, times before but consider a expansion pack.

Another idea would be to get rid of the zone loading, it would be more fun to walk into town then to wait 5 min. instead have all your waiting time when you start up the game.

the idea is to make it easier to get from place to place..if you want that super riding tiger and boat rides i hear wow has them

besides if you want to take the long way and enjoy the scenery you can run the entire way stopping to admire the scenery as you go

Heh, I would have gone with WoW if it wasn't so expensive, with the p2p.

Well, a couple times I have gone the wrong way in the missions, it took me about 5 min. to get to the right path, the time could have been split in half if they implanted mounts.

Mounts not only look cool but also give alot of combat stragey.


I just don't like the teleporting system, it's to simple.

People like teleporting, so it's staying.

If you don't like it then don't use it, problem solved. Hurray!

And zone loading for me takes about 5 seconds which is well worth the lack of lag.

Is it just me or are a lot of threads starting t sound like
"Please make this WoW without the monthly fee."

I don't mean to flame you, even though I know I have, but It's more than just you. WoW is a different game. If you want whats in it, please, play the fees. $15 a month is three packs of smokes, or not even a pizza. Really not that bad.

GW uses the teleport system cut down on long pointless travelling times. That way, when it's time, for example, for a guild to do a gvg match, it'll be easy to get it started, instead of having to wait 5 hours before your team can get there.

From what I understand, there's a bigger emphasis on playing with your guild, and pvp than just travelling around by yourself and levelling up. Mounts would be cool and all, but teleporting is very important for the PvP aspect of it.

Solution
Ever.

Now- can we please stop talking about taking teleporting out of the game. IF you don't like it... walk. Let me teleport, as I have things to do and places to be.

...adding mounts would mean longer loading times between areas to throw in the graphics for the mounts...unwanted... it would mean you would either have to buy them or everyone has them...therefore making it unfair to either ppl without money or making everyone too much alike... then theres the aspect of making armor for it...more time wasted... and then does the mount die when you do, and if so, wouldnt it take 2 resurects instead of one...personally i think this is out of the question, guildwars was designed around pvp AND rpg, therefore a few things must be sacrificed, and honestly i like it more like it is now...go buy WoW if you want this but in my opinion, its a waste of arena nets time, money, and everyone elses as well

It's kinda hard for a 13 your old to get the money for Wow in Canadain prices.

Also I don't think it will take 5 hours for your guild to get your guild hall because you can easily take a boat.
10 min tops

I agree with bob that getting rid of zones would cause alot more lagg then loading them, but 5 sec? Thats pretty good, what was the kb per sec?

I give up on arguing with the teleporting system, its unbeatable


I hope they do add mounts in the expansion

the guild hall is on the guildmembers maps to teleport to any time they want to.

I mean if they didnt have teleporting, you could take a boat ( if they implant it).

mounts would also mean being able to outrun 90% of the monsters...therefore making fighting at all pointless, just run past everthing to the nest 50 towns, then u can go back later...this game was made to fight and enjoy it...the end

Well, in some missions you have to kill the boss, and what do people get from not fighting? NOTHING

think of this, mounts would reduce accuracy for archers, and damage for warriors, u cant use a hammer...and a shield would be useless due to its on the opposite side of you, you have limited manuverability, slow turning, and accelerationof the mount would have to be thrown in.. your in way over your head man, this is a waste of time even argueing

okay, you can spend 6 hours every time you want to go from Lions Arch to Ascalon or back. I'm going to use the teleport feature.

What do you mean by limited manuverbaility?If your a good rider you could turn, and move pretty fast.
Also, these reduction will decrease the amount of people that want to use them, especially if their expensive.That means less lagg because not everyone will have one.

BTW you coul also use them as a damage taker.

This is seriously lacking logic on why they should even consider mounts in the game. They would make PvE pretty useless and a lot easier than the teleport system. And mounts in missions would be like saying to the design team "good work, too bad I don't care." I hope they never add mounts. Appreciate what you have and please stop trying to make the game a cheap clone of other games.

Well I'm fine with the way things are, but maybe future chapters there could be some sort of way to input mounts. Seriously though at this moment it would unbalance the way things are to add mounts Also on a side note if they just add mounts right away with no uses what so ever, but to look cool... would kinda feel as if it was just tacked on, and yeah...

and since they would disappear like the rangers pets when you are with other people in town to cut down on the graphics load who would you show them off to anyway

How about being able to ride your ranger pets?That would save alot of work, and the pet would have to be level 15 or higher or something.

Animal abuse. Plus would unbalance the professions far too much.

Though seeing a whole team of people on warthogs does have its own appeal...

What if on the last mission is a skill trainer that would let you use the mount skill on any tameable animal.It will be like charm animal but you can ride it.

Then a ranger can have 2 pets, one he can ride and one that follows.

Because if it's on the last mission, you can't just run through the game on a mount

thats different, could work out, but not on the original, DEFINATELY a possibility for an expansion though

So we really want the development team to work on adding mounts so they have that to consider while developing the rest of the expansions thereafter versus having them work on new professions and skill as well as missions to make sure the expansion enhances the game to the point we feel like we are buying a whole new game? Is that the idea speedtouch? Sorry no mounts. It's unnecessary and all the wow people will be calling guildwars even more of the "clone of wow." Rangers don't need a ridable animal and no other profession has it so it remains an unbalancer. You might not be able to get the money for wow, but you sure got the mental capital to try to distort other games to be the game you want to play. You got me realizing you aren't into GuildWars the game, just GuildWars the no monthly fee game. At least that is the appearance when you look through this thread at all you have suggested in your rebuttals.

In other words: This game is just starting, it isn't finished. Let the creative team do it's job. Teleporting works fine. It looks like you were just looking for a way to talk about mounts. What if Arena.net comes up with something better, something nicer, that looks cooler, and a place in the game you can use it without all these objections? Give em a chance and they just might, something that all the professions can use, now and in the future. Have you looked at the talent that made GuildWars? Besides the genius founders of Arena.net take a look at Stephen Hwang, Jess Lebow, and James Phinney, just names I picked by their job history. Let em have their shot to make you something as fantastic as GuildWars has shown to be, something that is GuildWars throughout and thus delivers as this game has proven to time and time again.

Not intended to offend or anything of the sort. Just sharing what I could and hope this was helpful.

*Edit* Sgt I think so too and I hope they make speedtouch an awesome addition if they do. Something he can tell his wow friends about and make their jaw drop. hehehe

sin..lol i love u...(just kidding) but i agree with u ... mounts maybe in the futured (not near) is still a possibility, but as far as ive seen anet has made some awesome stuff, im gunna bet they have other things planned

heh,there is still a fee for this game.The no p2p for this game is just one + to why I bought it.Im not going to list all the reasons I bought this game but please take note that I did NOT buy this game because it didn't have p2p.

I think the mounts are something that would make it much better because in older games i've played you have to get to level 60+ at least to get a mount, and because of the level cap it will be much easier to get one.I've always found mounts fun in games.

So maybe not this year, but hopefully next year they will add them in.

or the year after that...

Oh my I left out the word "monthly." Well I fixed it and, as I also said it appears that way from your rebuttals.

Your other reasons or whatever I could care less, just maybe make the effort not to waste everyone elses time with something you already know isn't gonna happen. Becuase this isn't a clone of wow and the developers don't want it to be.

Please pay attention: They put in teleporting so there is no need for mounts. In actual application of fact you have your answer right there in teleporting being an intrinsic non-negotiable part of GuildWars. Get used to it unless of course your real intention in making your thread was anything but what you posted, then we have another matter entirely. You might wanna read this to avoid getting your threads deleted and your account gone.

No need to post to this thread any further, obviously.

Yeah, i totally agree. What took us an entire night to get from ascalon to Yack's Bend (wasnt till the sun came up) I dont think i would want to replay the entire trip just to get back to some area i invested hours of gameplay into unlocking. The devs did a great job in making a truly unike game, and having to spend redundant hours crossing back through already unlocked zones would get repetitious.

I don't think mounts in the traditional sense have much of a place in Guild Wars. Don't get me wrong, I think riding around on creatures is a lot of fun, but imlementing them as ways to get around faster just doesn't fit very well with this particular game. Not only is it not needed, it would cause all sorts of balance issues.

As for "teleporting" it's not going anywhere. It's been planned as part of the game from the very beginning, and is completely ingrained into the way Guild Wars is supposed to work.
