Guild Wars 2

You guys are thinking about Mounts in Totally the wrong way,

Example:::
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Junundu

You would take control of those Wurms for only specific parts of the game because they were Required in order to continue game progress.

If you really want some sort of Cosmetic Mount, wait for more of them to come through the gem store. Two of them have been released already.

NinjaEd.3946:

Don’t like using real money to look cool? Convert gold into gems. But just know your gem purchases fund anet’s developers to dish out more cool updates so it’s not like its going to waste.

Actually, your gem purchases go straight to NCSoft (why do you think this cash cow is there in the first place?) if their annual report was anything to go by.

Luke Lionhunter.8623:

Hello i had recently been thinking that helping players get around a little faster would be nice! You could have different amounts of speeds for each level. You have probably had some people suggest this but i think its worth while!

It’s a shame your thinking doesn’t extend to looking at the other thread that already exists which was also started yesterday:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Mounts-46/first

Also, see that number next to /suggestions/Mounts- ? Yep, that’s how many threads have already been created with the exact same title on this tedious and unimaginative topic.

There is a broom.Be happy because i doubt there will any mounts at all

Indeed, the money goes to NCSoft, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they use most of it for Wildstar.

Adine.2184:

Between waypoints and the fact that every class already has a speed buff of one sort or another there’s no need for mounts

Adine.2184:

No need could be fun. Problem might be the instead based maps.

Beside waypoints make the world smaller. Better remove some of them and then put mounts in it’s place.

That is a funny thing, back in the beta I remember some GW1 fans (some of them seem to hate mounts, don’t know why. Apparently because WoW has them) said mounts where bad because they made the world smaller while in fact they don’t really do.. waypoint however.

so many words on a simple matter? Of course mounts will never be introduced, because Way Points system was designed specifically to compensate the lack of mounts. You can’t have the both. Either mounts, or waypoints.

ANet said that they will not have mounts in gw2, because it is harder to miss content with them.

Sooo… How do “cosmetic” mounts intercepts waypoints? As I noticed, people don’t asking for mad speed buffs, but only a beautiful thing under their butt

what’s the point? The map isn’t an open world but a collection of individual zones divided by invisible walls and mountins

QueenHysteria.1084:

I’m so tired of people saying “You don’t need mounts”. Who are you to tell someone what they “Need” and don’t “Need”.

Unless having a mount in Guild Wars 2 is a biological imperative, I think it’s safe to say that you don’t need it.

Montezuma.1436:

Or just remove many of the way-points. They shrink down the world anyway. That was one of the main excuses for people not wanting mounts because they would shrink the world down. Excuses because the real reason was… No mounts because WoW has mounts.

Honestly, the reason I don’t want mounts in this game is because I want Anet to fix some of the major glaring issues we have right now. Not to add more unnecessary content.

But of course seeing something on all caps with a slew of !!!! always makes a point that much more valid….

(oops my sarcasm meter just went though the roof)

I woudn’t mind more cosmetic mounts in the game. I hate the waypoint sistem you hopp from one side of the map to the other in seconds and skipp a lot of contect becouse even if you like the world you simpely get borred by walking everywhere and you will youse the waypoint sistem.

If I coud get I dunno a small light armor charr tank or something to “ride” I woudn’t youse the waypoint sistem at all only to tp fast to a word event if I am way to far away or somebody woud nead help in my guild etc. And then I coud meet a lot of people on the way and actualy see the beautifulle world Anet made instead of I explored it and then teleport allower the place becouse you simpely can’t run everywhere and not get borred in the procces.

Im also for mounts real mounts like flying dragons, Delete some unimportant wp make the world bigger and it will be fun to have ur own dragon. Just imagine air combat !

Guys its a game dont limit ur imagination

Mounts are bad, the look silly and would never work in this game. Too bad the search in this forum is so bad, you could have found the 1000 mount topics about this.

Konig Des Todes.2086:

I’m trying to picture charr riding on a mount.

I can’t unless said mount will be the charrmobiles (aka “tanks”) which would remove the model.

Maybe giant devourers? Still hard to picture given their physical structure, imo, without looking weird.

New stuff, like a Charrcycle.

This game needs mounts. Period.

I wasn’t for mounts at first because of all the WP’s they gave us in the game. But I’ve been playing since BWE1 and I have to say, having mounts is becoming more and more of a good idea to me.

I get so sick and tired of running around a map trying to harvest materials (wood, ore, etc) at base run speed or the paltry +25% passive that some professions get. It makes gathering a HUGE chore….one that is already boring to begin with and it is only made worse by how SLOW we all move in this game. Seriously….add mounts if for no other reason than to help collect materials faster.

It would also help people get back to certain Dynamic Events faster….especially ones that tend to be farther from WP’s than is usual.

wookiee.4631:

With Waypoints and Swiftness, I don’t see why mounts would matter outside of aesthetic reasons. I guess along those lines, I’d be fine with that. But as a mode of transportation, they’d be practically pointless.

Would make gathering A LOT better. Gathering now in-game is boring as hell, made even more painful by how slow everyone moves, even with +25% passive speed buffs.

Windu The Forbidden One.6045:

Absolutely no point in adding mounts.

There`s no point in adding boxing gloves, plush backpacks , and bunny ears but yet there they are.

Montezuma.1436:

Haha. That is the most narrowminded excuse I have ever heard. You can`t have both! If Anet wanted to make some serious cash from their gemshop they would add mounts. They would sell like hotcakes. Even the people who say they don`t want them would probably see one they like and buy it. Until then it`s bunny ears and waypoints for everyone else.

While I agree that gathering is extremely boring, having a mount wouldn’t really improve it. You may get around faster, but then you most likely would have to dismount / gather / re-mount, adding more tedium that way.

Please give me a magical slave I can set to a node and have it harvest for me for like a week before I have to visit it again and set it to a new node…that would work for me.

Well sorry to the entire angry mob of people that I have obviously whipped into a frenzy. Forget I said anything. Screw me right?

Hey pplz there already is mounts. The witches broom and the tunneling tool are technically mounts. I would love to see more mounts like these as long as there is no speed buff. Tyria doesnt need them. The only people that want mounts r the ones that say “OMG thats 2 silver to wp across the world? I’m now broke cause I have 2 silver less than 100 gold. DX”

Put them in the gem/store. Please now. That would take a lot of fun out of the mounts. Just like mini´s are no fun to collect now. It´s time Anet stops with it´s bad gem/store focus and go´s back to a real B2P model where they get income from expansion. Those mounts can then also be introduces in the expansions and you can get them in many ways in the game itself. Not from a boring gem-shop.

The gem-store focus is already destroying the game. Time for that to stop.

What is the point of a mount if it doesn`t have a speedbuff? Mounts wouldn`t make waypoints disappear you know. You could still take a waypoint while I ride my horse wherever I wanted to. For a “play your way” kind of game, some of you guys sure like being limited a lot. I myself don`t like limitations I like freedom of choice and options. Answer me this though, and try to come up with your best justifiable answer, not just duh we have waypoints already! Ok, here is the question to answer, more like a scenario I guess. You are running around fireheart rise playing the game doing events or whatever. You look up and see me ride by on a horse! How does that effect how you play the game in a negative way. I`d love to hear an answer besides that we already have waypoints. Plenty of other games had waypoints and fast travel but still had mounts for the playerbase that liked them. Let`s hear these answers!

No I want mounts because it’s fun to travel in the world on them.. of course that also means they need a permanent speed-boost. They can then take away many of the waypoints.

I also want mounts because I like to collect them. That is a part of end-content that misses in this game. Crafts don’t send you out in the open world, mini’s don’t and mounts also don’t because there are no mounts.

It doesn’t even make sense what you are saying because the mounts will most likely also cost you money or effort to get. Some might drop as loot but by doing the ‘dungeon’ that drops them you already made more many that 30 waypoint uses would cost you.

they could have a stables ingame where you could buy a horse for gold. But if I were a dev, I would put the real fancy mounts in the gemstore and make a few unique mounts that can be obtained from dungeon quests.

You also have to understand too that the gemshop is what is helping pay for some of the new content we get. You buy the game and there`s no monthly fee and so far all the content updates have been free. You don`t have to buy a questline or unlock a mission like some of the other mmo companies do. This is all free until they release an addon expansion like nightfall or factions. The only surefire way to generate money is to make fancy looking stuff and upgrades for the shop. In guild wars 1 I had a few different sets of eleite armor on my characters and when I saw the balthazaar costume I opened up my wallet and pulled out my credit card and that’s what they need to do to make money.

Is that the best you got? Mounts have been in games a lot longer then world of warcraft. Everquest, Dark Age of Camelot? I think even lineage 2 was out before warcraft and that game had mounts and that game sucked! World of warcraft was the first mmo that mainstreamed the genre of game so it only natural most people only know mmo`s by that. But 3d mmo`s were around for years before warcraft was even thought of. Hell, some of the devs who made everquest went to work for blizzard to make warcraft.

So in short, you are saying that because of world of warcraft, I am not allowed to own a mount in guild wars 2 because we already have waypoints and everyone should just settle for that?

I want cosmetic mounts.

The so called champ trains are a good reason not to. If there were mounts ppl with lots of money would get to the champ and have him dead before ppl that actually need the money or xp.

I don’t want to go into that discussion here as well because I already talk about that in multiple other threads (problem is, it is linked to so many aspects of the game).

The thing is. they are now indeed relying on gem-sales for income but that effects the game in some way. Like you say.. they want to make money so if they make mounts put them in the gem-store. But imo that is not the best for the game. Best for the game is put most of them in the world. Maybe 5 in the gem-store but the other 50 all over the world. Some as drop, some as achievement, some form dungeons, some from crafting and some just from an NPC selling them. That would be the best for the game, forgetting about the money.

Thats why I don’t want them to focus on the gem-store to generate money because it means they need to compromise the quality of the game. I want them to release regular expansion and base there income on that. Then they can put the mounts just in the world. Thats much better for the game.

If you want to discuss more about this go to one of the active threads about expansions. Or read my 2 comments long comment here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Paid-more-for-gems-than-a-sub-fee-this-year/page/4#post2966022 I think that explains it just fine.

I think you get my viewpoint. But you are right IF they keep using the gem-store as main source for income it will have them be put in the gem-store thats why I don’t want that so coming back to mounts I would like them to put them really in the game-world itself.

That was not my personal opinion. I do want mounts and I think they are good for the game. But “because WoW” is basically the main reason behind all the excuses why people don’t want mounts.

Or you make sure the game is not so gold-driven anymore. Thats bad anyway and thats the main reason for the champ trains. You also forget that there are now classes in the game that are much faster then other classes. So if that could be a problem it would already be a problem.

Not putting in mounts because another part of the game is bad does not seem like a good excuse. Better fix what is bad and put in mounts.

Maybe not in the current areas but who’s to say in expansion areas. Right now the areas are not all that big and you can get around pretty quick on foot even without using a waypoint. I don’t see a need for them at this instance, but what ever the future holds right?

While I agree that gathering is extremely boring, having a mount wouldn’t really improve it. You may get around faster, but then you most likely would have to dismount / gather / re-mount, adding more tedium that way.

That is something I really hated about mounts in other games and one of the reasons I wish they do not give us mounts. Dismount, pick some things, mount again, get dismounted if an enemy stares at you… Personally I felt that my gathering experience was just more annoying if I wasn’t careful as to avoid those enemies.

They’re only good for cosmetics, you can literally waypoint to every single edge of a map, after that just keep popping swiftness and you’ll get to the nodes in no time.

I don`t see it as a problem. There are plenty of other ways you can get gold and exp. Farming champs is just easier because you have dozens of other people helping doing the work for you. You`ll probably make more exp and gold in an hours worth of dungeon runs then you will farming champs.

I don’t think the game was designed for mounts, just a guess. Also how you going to dump tons of your game coin on gates if you got a mount?

Mounts in GW2 would take away much of the epic feeling you get when exploring the world and admiring the beautiful GW2 architecture.. Also, according to lore, there aren’t any mounts really, unless you think about the Charr machinery etc
Personally I think its fine just the way it is, although for aesthetic reasons, like the broom etc with no extra speed, that’s pretty cool.

Terrible Idea. We have waypoints and speedskills, that works perfectly. Movement mounts are only gimmick items. I can already see the graphic polution in front of me, an army of Big doliaks standing in front of me and griphons skydiving on my head. No thx :-) Not to think of the performance lag it can bring with a big dynamic.

NO???

1st I tough we don’t need mount’s bicous all the teleports.
well after a long time playing I know I was freaken wrong im starting to fell a sleep from going from A to B sometimes it takes so mutch time that I want to cut my legs down so that I get a wheelchair to get a little speed.

there should NOT be Epic , Legendary , Instance drop Mount’s

just some Nice looking Faction mounts for each faction that you can simply buy from one of the main cities.

that give a MAX 50% speed boost. it would be enough.

There should NOT be Epic , Legendary , Instance drop Mount’s

Why not? I would love that. Finally a good reason to do dungeons and finally that ‘epic’ feeling when the mount you want finally drops.

In stats they should be the same but have some rair mounts drop at a few places is great.

mounts? not really needed, would end up looking rather silly

if they add a new mini-game (aka activity) involving those sexy charr vehicles however… i’m all for it

I would prefer seeing those mounts (as that basically are mounts) on new big WvW or other WvW like franction PvP maps.

Perhaps just make new 80+ zone for mounts. I’m thinking geared more towards players that want to explore and do high end crafting in end game. Make a small city at the beginning of the map where players can show off mounts. Maybe a giant labyrinth, sort of like fractals but it’s a huge map with little or no wps.

As of right now I believe Anet’s stance on that is a definitive NO MOUNTS.

You’re wrong about that – kitten many are. Anet doesn’t preclude mounts per se. They say IF they implement mounts, they want to do it in such a way that it adds special gameplay features (e.g. combat on mounts). They want to make them unique. However, at the moment they don’t seem to have enough good ideas for that.

EDIT:
Uhm, admins? The word “as” without the quotes, is censored by your forum.

If they do it in this way you would likely move at walking speed or slower like you did in GW1 . In GW 1 the siege devourer moved incredibly slowly as did the sand wurm and you were given a speed buff skill to compensate for a short time .

As far as mounts for speed are concerned i simply dont see a need . Waypoints provide quick travel to other maps and all classes have a speed buff of one sort or another .

You see the Asura came to the surface and needed a large food source and met surface races that needed a faster mode of transportation…

…so now we have Asura gates everywhere and horses were just too kitten ing delicious to survive extinction…

Honestly, the reason I don’t want mounts in this game is because I want Anet to fix some of the major glaring issues we have right now. Not to add more unnecessary content.

But of course seeing something on all caps with a slew of !!!! always makes a point that much more valid….

(oops my sarcasm meter just went though the roof)

Dude, that’s the most ridiculous reason which can be. In A-net dozens of different development teams. People who will do the textures and animations for mounts WILL NOT FIX BUGS AND ISSUES. It is not their jurisdiction. The team that fixes bugs will fix bugs. The team that makes mounts will do the mounts.
Do you think over two hundreds people will gather together and say, “hey, let’s spit on bugs and issues fixing and will all do mounts!”

Mounts in GW2 would take away much of the epic feeling you get when exploring the world and admiring the beautiful GW2 architecture.. Also, according to lore, there aren’t any mounts really, unless you think about the Charr machinery etc
Personally I think its fine just the way it is, although for aesthetic reasons, like the broom etc with no extra speed, that’s pretty cool.

Well I asked in the thread for valid reasons not to have mounts and so far none of you could come up with one yet. Seems like you guys just want to make your own opinion heard so bad that you are blurting out nonsense excuses. You could have your epic feeling running around. while I after experiencing the epic feeling for hundreds of hours would like to move about a little faster without being limited to using the waypoints.

So I `ll ask again. Why exactly couldn`t we have mounts and how would me having one impact you in a negative way? And don`t say we already waypoints because that doesn`t matter. Don`t say because of lore because we have plushie backpacks and freakin bunny ears but you don`t see me voting the people who like that stuff can`t have it. It don`t effect me one bit if you want to wear bunny ears, I`m not the one using them. So come on angry masses, come up with good reasons instead of the lame excuses you have been throwing into the thread.
