Guild Wars 2

I like Waypoints, I really do but they are expensive.

Are there any plans to have ground mount in the game?

no, never, you could search and fin the other 400000 thread about it.

Why do you need mounts when you have waypoints and Asura Gates? Kinda makes mounts pointless.

waypoints are expensive (well not really) for a reason and this question has been done too many times and they have been locked numerous times.

They have no plans for mounts, there are no need for mounts.

and there is no need to answer to these posts anymore, so they die alone, it is a dead discussion and becoming more and more boring. they want mounts, we don’t and this will never ends until we stop to answer to these posts

Can I ask why some of you don’t want mounts?

In other games most people don’t like mounts because the person they are trying to gank can run away. Since there is no world pvp this can’t be a reason.

Anet said that mounts allow the player to skip too much content so they have waypoints instead so that you can travel across entire zones or half the world in an instant…….. Hey! What the?!?

Please search the Forums; you’ll find plenty of reasons in threads like this one. To summarize:

• lore. Asura teleportation tech makes riding unnecessary.
• map design/layout. Ties into the “lore” thing – maps are designed with fairly dense content (e.g. wandering enemies, Renown Hearts, outposts, jumping puzzles, etc). There simply aren’t very many “wide open spaces” where rapid mounted travel would be necessary.
• precedence/consistency. The world is full of “infantry.” Major NPCs go into battle on foot. It would be a bit immersion-breaking for a level 2 Necromancer to ride around while Destiny’s Edge has to walk.
• visual noise. If you let a player have a mount, then he’s going to buy the biggest one possible (Giant Dolyak? Elder Plains Wurm?) and park it in front of the bank or Trading Post.
• special advantages. Dissenters are often told that mounts could be made purely cosmetic. “If you don’t like it then don’t use it; you won’t be missing anything.” This reassurance is undermined by proposals (often within the same thread) for mounts to provide bonuses to mobility, resistance to CC, etc.
• workload. Mounts which function as “town clothes” are tolerable, but anything that interacts with actual weapon/skill animations (or, heaven forbid, an actual mounted combat system) is going to require a significant outlay of development time. Many players would prefer to see development effort focused on bugfixes, new dungeons, heroic capes, Cyrillic chat, an in-game LFG tool, etc…

Not when it takes you hours to get around in WvW.

thats intentional

Gonna try and save this thread. GET RID OF COMBAT CRIPPLE INSTEAD. Yes, combat cripple, that’s what it is. -30% movement speed upon entering combat, it’s the sole reason I don’t do exploring, especially in higher level areas where every mob opens with a ranged attack. I can stability through whatever garbage CC’s they throw my way, but that combat cripple is uncalled for. Have you ever gone from swiftness OOC to no swift in combat? Wow, I could run faster after activating Walk OOC.

IMO it’s the reason people want mounts, if we didn’t get bogged down in mobs so much then this idea of a “solution” would be eradicated.

GET RID OF COMBAT CRIPPLE…

lol this.
particularly in zones populated with wall-to-wall zombies. there’s no way to get ANYWHERE at a regular pace. spending hours hobbling from one destination to another is hardly entertaining … that is, unless you’re watching your FRIEND do it… then it’s hilarious! XD

i digress.

mounts. mounts are not fundamentally bad. there’s no reason to hate the OP for bringing the suggestion to the SUGGESTION thread. also no need to post reply upon reply about how it will/can never ever ever EVER happen. after all, this is only vanilla gw2. who knows what’s coming in the future? nothing’s written in stone. that, in fact, is something i particularly admire about Anet.

mounts are one of the most sought after perks in a game. NOT having mounts at all, ever, would be an interesting choice…

Don’t get me wrong I am pro mount, but tired of correcting the false statements about the truth some people think they have. I have come up with many compromising ideas to have mounts in the game where people who do not and those who do, could have a happy medium.
The truth is that they are not planned at the moment and if I may here is the mod quote to prove that….
