Mounts (give me a chance to explain!!!!)
Just maybe add a sort of mount system to the game. This would really help with exploring and generally getting to places faster. Perhaps unable to use them in dungeons and such where they would interfere with the game mechanics. Doesn’t have to be a complex system, just even a way of increasing movement speed while the mount is active.
No.
No.

No……………………………………………….
we have

and
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Speed_Booster
what more can you want?
I’m simply explaining why I’m right.
All current running speed boosts should apply to the current cosmetic mounts. So they work no different than running with normal speed boosts. This includes sprint ability.
I Agree mounts will make the game insane. also havinf flying mounts means there can be different levels of buildings or hills to fight on or using it on wvw to kill whilst on a mount
I simply want small cosmetic mounts. Nothing to distracting, and nothing that grants a speedboost. I just want them for looks.
Most everyone says no speed boosts on cosmetic mounts. But as they are now. Cosmetic mounts are not equal to running speed.
How about applying All player speed boost to their mount. Then mounts will be equal to but not faster than running.

We don’t need ridiculous looking lore braking mounts.
Small cosmetic mounts that are mechanical are good. With equal to running speed boost, but no faster.

I don’t think they will every add mounts to the game and I’m not sure that I want them to. I also wont say I’m against it at this point. I was thinking about this idea the other night where you would catch a mount sized creature in the wild and it would become a companion to you without control options like the ranger pet to keep it distinct. But maybe it could walk with you and attack your target. It would have a loyalty bar and the more you used it the more loyal it would become and additional options would become available. Maybe armor it up (only cosmetically, no stats) or run slightly faster.
Anyways it was just a bit of my imagination taking off, thought I’d share with you all. Again, I don’t really stand on either side of the mount debate. I will say this though, Mounts would allow people to skip content by simply running past everything, but it could also encourage players to explore more once they are 80 and they don’t want to fight things, just explore the world. Maybe in the alternate universe where you all got your mounts it wold be a level 80 prestige
They haven’t even been able to deliver a decent amount of armour for players, let alone for mounts. But I hear ya.
Provided mounts keep with the lore, and give at least some kind of speed boost, I’m all for them.
Anet has stated that they will NOT add mounts, there has been thousands of treads asking for this from anet, they have said, NO! pay respect to that.
mounts are lame, for now game at least looks good, mounts and wings are two things that make game go twilight mode and sparkling in the sun
if you want mounts go play anyother mmo, now gtfo my gw2 with your lame kitten ideas
let me know your thoughts
No.

Oh, he already knew about that thread. After all, he posted this in it an hour before starting this one:

That’s not correct. They said, IF they add mounts, they give them some kind of purpose. So, IF they add them, we can expect to do some special stuff with them, like fighting on them in a tournament or doing races or we need them to cross special terrain – something like that. Anet just wants mounts to significantly add to the gameplay … IF they add them. At the moment however, there seems to be no good idea on Anet’s side. We have to wait til something springs to mind.
The source for this is a video interview. Unfortunatelly I don’t have a link, but it’s occasionally posted in mount threads. So keep an eye open.

I want a dolyak mount that will hold my crap in open world until I reach a bank.

We already have mounts. They’re called the Alpha and Omega Golems. If you want to ride one go to WvW and leave the rest of us alone.

Mounts for me all day everyday! Love em! Put them in the store for 2,000 gems a piece Anet. I’ll buy them all. I guarantee you will make yourselves a ton of cash because almost everyone will buy them.

ANet doesn’t make money on gems, NCSoft does.

some people aren’t buying the game because of the lack of mounts (Quotes from Friends)
Not meaning to sound rude but unless your friends numbered in the millions, i very much doubt Anet would sit up and listen.

Sweet! That means we stand an even better chance of getting them.
What is this about Mounts?
There is tons of MMO’s out there that have mounts for characters. Adding mounts to this game would add an faster way to travel across the vast land of Tyria. To obtain a mount, players are required to capture it using special food that have a 50/50 chance of succeeding. Each mount has different special bait required to capture it, so some bait will be rarer and harder to find. There are many different advantages or disadvantages to certain types of mounts, so choose your mount wisely when setting out to capture them.
Can Mounts Use Equipment?
Mounts have a menu much like the player, mounts can equip specialized armor and accessories. It also has an saddle bag slot that allows for players to store their items in their mounts. This allows players to have more space, clearing up their inventory so they can continue to loot.
Why Does your Skills Change While on Mount?
Players are not able to attack from the mount, but players get a new set of skills set that can aid them in their travel across Tyria. Much like being transformed into an animal, mounts have their own set of skills that can be used in combat, but it is highly not recommended.
Can Mounts Die in Game?
No mounts can’t die, they are only render downed. If the mount is downed while the player is on it, the player will be knocked down to the ground. If the player dies while the mount is down and has to teleport to the nearest WP, the mount will teleport with the player.
No.
No.
what this guy said
Never going to happen and I’m glad we won’t ever see them. Maybe something cosmetic that can only be used outside of combat (like the broom you could buy during Halloween).

IMO- if we’re being reasonable, a game like guild wars 2 which is based off of horizontal progression is missing out big time by not implementing mounts. How are they any different from cosmetic armor or weapons? It’s another things for players to collect (keep them playing) and another way to make money. If they implemented them in a way that rift of WoW did I think it would really be a positive thing. They could be special drops from world bosses, from events or achievements and sold in the gem store, also with their own achievements tied to them.
I think the argument of them making players skip all the scenery falls really flat. We already have speed increases and waypoints. If I had a mount personally I would be more incentivized to run places as oppose to way pointing which truly does make the world smaller. I actually am really surprised this game has not already implemented mounts, I think it’s a missed opportunity.
Just my spiel.
We don’t need mounts.
Other mmo’s make mounts because it’s like a money trap and makes your character look cool. We don’t need it.
No.

Are you for real? Do you even play gw2, the king of making your character look cool with money traps.
There is a ton of stuff in game that “We don’t need it” but it there and it serves no useful purpose other than making you look cool.
OH NO HE DIDN’T!!!!! I’d like it though. Purely cosmetic, riding a majestic Dolyak into the sunset in the beautiful Shiverpeaks on my Norn…. ahhhh

I like this post. And I agree: right now I just WP everywhere, it’s very convenient and a huge moneysink. Though they could make mounts pricey enough to make up for it. Instead of running like 100 metres of whatever it is, I’ll just teleport to the next WP (eventhough the loadingscreen takes long to load than the actual run sometimes). The argument that mounts would take away from the scenery experience is in my opinion a bit rubbish, because, at least in my case, it would incentivise me to run more as opposed to WP everywhere.

Ahhh yeah!!! Looking like Paul Bunyan. We’ll get them some day.
The want by players is huge. Most I talk to in game want them. There are a few that don’t. Too much money not to put them in.
i got a better idea. how about instead of mounts, we just get saddles. you’re a charr? poof now you’re a mount. you’re a norn? poof now you’re a mount. you’re an asura? poof now you’re a tiny mount. have set up so you can designate a rider, or allow general access so you can sell rides around the mystic forge. give it a few skills on the hotbar so you can sprint, buck and even toss your rider.
then everyone wins. people who want mounts are satisfied, people who don’t want mounts are satisfied, and Anet gets a new thing to sell in the gem store.
Anet has stated that they will NOT add mounts, there has been thousands of treads asking for this from anet, they have said, NO! pay respect to that.
Care to link that quote? All I have been able to ever find was them saying the game would not have mounts at launch.
Lots of people complain or say they would ruin the game, but I have yet to see a single reason that could not be easily fixed or was beyond “WoW had mounts, so I hate mounts.”

I’ve said these things before. Giant Norn on giant mount blocks your field of view even more. The probability of major clipping issues. Excess screen clutter and increased effects GPUs have to process decreasing FPS. Fun.
Also I am not a programer for Anet and I highly doubt you are either. The “easy to do” and “easy to fix” argument just doesn’t fly because we do not know that.
I don’t like mounts and I don’t care what games had them or didn’t I don’t want to see them in the game. My opinion on that is just as valid as the opinions of people that want them.
Oh look this thread. Ok.. I’ll post the same response I post in every mount thread.
Clears throat
Ahem…

They’ve said this several times. They added waypoints and movement speed increases for a reason. There’s no point to cluttering the screen even further by adding useless mounts.

Mobs don’t react fast to players running at full speed. If mounts are faster, than any player can ride though any mob without entering combat.
