Guild Wars 2

Waypoints, perma swiftness + OOC speed… why do we need ponies?

As far as immersion you’re in a world where asura technology lets you teleport. I don’t see how teleporting is a problem there…

Asura waypoints are more profitable for traveling speed and game balancing because it’s a regular fee to destroy golds.

All you naysayers just need to “think outside the box” and join the advocation for a system of travel that can be found on ‘every other box’ in the MMO genre Such a silly self-defeating statement really makes me smile. Maybe the A-net team WAS ‘thinking outside the box’ when they scrapped mounts in favor of the WP system. Don’t point your finger and call people close-minded while you’re, at the same time, coming at them with a sideways/indoctrinated kind of attitude. I think mounts/pets (riding or whatever) could be kinda cool if implemented in a GW1 Polymock style combat arena. Personally, other than something like this, I really don’t see mounts having a place in GW2 at all. GW2 was designed w/o them, has been successful w/o them, and will continue to do well w/o
them. I do think a gladiator stylish Polymock arena could be fun though, and it actually fits with GW lore/tradition.

I like Zoid Idea, I always thought of something similar to that. Each Profession having its own way of traveling faster thru the Maps. Like if a Thief can preform Parkour or something to get around the Map.

As far as Mounts Goes, I don’t know if this was mention on this thread (prolly has considering the topic is Mounts) but why not Temporary Mounts summoned thru a use of a Elite Skill or Flute, 3min duration 10min cooldown before recasting.

i think the big problem ppl see in mounts is that it makes cities way to messy and makes DE’s one big mount fest.
the solution is there, simply make mounts impossible in any city and make mounts disappear in combat.

PS. i already mentioned prof specific traveling but ppl were to much focused on mounts in general.

I’ve searched the forum, and it seems that no one asked this question.

Will you ever consider adding mounts to the game?

It’s gets boring having to walk around with all the mobs attacking you, and slow you down to combat ms. It doesn’t really matter at what level you add them as long as the do exist. I feel they are still needed, even with all the ms buffs. And think about all the money you can get if you sell them for crystals.

¿No one? Well… You must meaby search again. For example…

Not your fault, search system is really bad :/

WvsW with no mount feels just…wrong?! I mean, i love infinite desert green plains, BUT travelling a little faster i think would help. And mounts in MMO are always cool thing. But we’re not getting them, making animations and models for mounts…cost a lot more than selling a reskinned armor on gemstore :P
Maybe the 1°expansion in 201X will have them.

Mounts are just a daft idea in my opinion, as they have gone through the effort of jumping puzzles/hidden mini dungeons etc and with the waypoint system, why would you want them?

Wait, did I understand correctly? You want mounts that allow you to steamroll through the maps?
I suppose you never played GW1, where running was an artform.

To be honest, moving around the map is already just hitting R and then waiting till you arrive. Don’t need to make it any easier. Nor faster.

And cavalry doesn’t really fit well in the WvW maps anyways, they are much too small for that. If everyone is everywhere at any given time, the battle will be just about numbers and no strategy.

Guess I didn’t look hard enough. :/ tnx anyway for the reply

Just wanted to show you this image.

mounts are cool. im sry but they are cool. mot saying u need them u dont. but why not? again ppl will say oh wow has them tera has them gw NEVER had them. so what? if anet is so keen on selling things in gem store-which is cool btw +makes them money-why not try this too?

So what’s so cool about them? You already have the broom and that tunnelling thing in the overpriced Gem Store. There’s your mounts.

Also, try writing using full words rather than netspeak. This isn’t facebook and it goes against Anet’s Code of Conduct.

I’m sorry if I offended your grammar because I used two words in improper way. If you call a broom and a drill mounts than I’m sorry my “friend” you are missing the point of the entire mount idea. The mount is a means of transportation that allows someone to travel faster than on foot plus making it a bit amusing. true, the broom is funny, per say, but does it allow you to travel faster than running? plus if you don’t like it, don’t buy it. the gem store is NOT overstuffed otherwise the ratio of gem-gold change would be much higher than it is right now. it means there isn’t anything there that people want to buy. not saying mounts would be that.

Is there any chance at all that we will ever be able to have high speed mounts in game?
I do not see waypoints as a valid reason why we should not have this, maybe it would not be suitable for WvW but for open world pve yes.
I just want to know, does Anet ever intend to add mounts to the game that will allow very fast traveling?
Some people like to explore the world traveling faster than 1 MPH but also not skip everything by using waypoints.

Waypoints do what mounts do, but more effective in every way. There’s absolutely no reason to bring mounts into the game just to bring them into the game.

it destroys any kind or type of immersion, doesn’t allow true RP-ing, you pretty much skip 80% of the map because you’ve already bin there…..
sure, more effective -_-

sorudo… how do waypoints destroy immersion and don’t allow true RP-ing?

waypoints and asura gates are actual IC things, not some OoC convenience for the players. if you want proof of that, just listen to some NPCs or follow the offensive in the Orr maps
