Guild Wars 2

Note: What I am suggesting here is not as such “mounts” but merely the ability to use content already in game, aesthetically speaking.

The first picture is my Asura Elementalist in Dawnside Quay in Rata Sum. It is all about the little things in an MMO. Especially traversing Tyria seems to be done by waypoint and not actually getting out into the world.
- I think letting a ship go from Dawnside Quay to Lion’s Arch, maybe let one from Lion’s Arch go to Fort Trinity would be a nice alternative to the cost of a waypoint, and this form of travelling actually implements the player into the world, thus adding to the “Immersion” aspect of the game.
- The feeling that you get from travelling by boat is amazing, or so it is to me at least.

- The second picture is (as I’m sure you’ve all guessed by looking at it) my charr. I remember seeing these vehicles in the trailers prior to launch. I thought they were awesome and I looked forward to seeing them in game, alas they are only there for a short time in a Personal Story mission (and they definitely needs some tweaking to animation and mechanics before implementing them into the “actual” game world).
- I think that players should be able to occupy them ONLY in Orr, where the count of undead blocking your way is quite high. These tanks were made for warfare and they are used in the fight against Zhaitan, only… they are not really used in the fight against Zhaitan.
- Why not let players use them? One man driving, some other guy or two occupying the guns. I like playing GW2 with my friends, and letting us take one of these tanks and battle our way to the Temples par example to fight the minions of Zhaitan would give Orr a much needed touch of epicness.

Giving players the opportunity to make warfare as a small group, and giving them the opportunity to team up in a tank or two would be a nice feature. One that I hope is welcome among you, the community, and one that I hope the dev team will take into consideration.

- Thanks for your time, and feel free to comment.
If you disagree, please tell why you think adding one or both of these suggestions would damage the game rather than improve it.
Or if you agree, or have something to add to this, feel free to share that as well.

I’ll see you guys in-game.

The only vehicles I use are golems

I am waiting for charr war engines to make it into WVW.

hop in and you treat it like a weapons pack, set of 5 new skills, and your utility skills locked out(or maybe vehicle generic).

Not necessarily a speed boost needed but would be nice to have several people ‘man’ it. first is a driver and other occupy weapons controls.

I want a charcopter or one of those air ships and both of them need to be fully armed for my destruction pleasure.

confirming I’d kill for a crewable air ship. Give us some zones in the sky, even in wvw.

Air and water battles.

Players manning pact type subs and ships. This could go somewhere.

Would definitely make for an interesting new wvw zone. A sky based dog fight. Could also work for a new event like snowball battle. Just use underwater mechanics with players using various ‘vehicles’ to launch and join the fight.

change the 3 outer BL’s to sky, water, and ground. then you have EB. Just a thought.

I would rather they just extend the wvw area with extra maps.

Admittedly I use the terms “mounts” and “vehicles” as the same thing; when I say mounts I mean Charr tanks or motorcycles though.
Airships although awesome are unlikely (considering Anet said they think that flying stuff would take away from the scale of the game).
Boats would be cool, as well as subs.
Most important to me though is Charr vehicles, I’d like to use them wherever I like(PvE or WvW), just not in cities, or Anet could add new vehicle specific maps with wide cobble roads and open terrain (would be cool to see mechanised warfare)

I think that it might have been referring to Flying Mounts.
- The Zeppelins ARE indeed fighting dragons, and giving players the option to join in, if they should so choose, would add to the scale of battle in Orr.

I think they should consider it. Expand and integrate. It doesn’t necessarily have to mean that we are in control, but that we can help in the fight where ever it might occur, and the air is no exception.

As for me? I’d just like to sail on the ships. Garenhoff, Lion’s Arch, Dawnside Quay… Those are just some of the places, we could go by ship.

Well look at the bright side after all the known world is released we could always take to the skies.

Honestly though I would expect the first aerial zone would take place in a holiday event test the waters as it were. Either that or as a fractal akin to the dolphin section

Wow a mount thread that hasn’t been blocked yet?… *cough
Mounts are in the lore…
They need to add them… If people don’t want them then don’t get them…
Stop trying to ruin it for other people or tell them how to play… The game was designed to accompany all player types. Just don’t allow them in WvW is all. Anything else is none of your business or concern… With the ports all over the place its pointless to even try and argue against them. Even with mounts people would still use them…

add ships a craft and a map to navigate around with water would be an optimal feature for the endgame, I believe that would be a goal for most people and nobody would complain about not having anything to do at max level

anyone ever played Allods?
the game has something called’’ astral’’ where u navigate with your flying ship in search of islands (dungeons) to find treasures, was amazing
