Guild Wars 2

how about creating flying mounts , air combat ? it would be really awesome !

Right, and what about those minor details like jumping puzzles, a lack of a contiguous world map and the minor issue that mounts suck?

they could be limited in some locations

if it will ever happen it wont be soon, we can’t get ground mounts still and you want them to scale maps to fit flying mounts?

sorry but flying mounts would not be good for GW2…

If you want mounts, go play WoW

If you want Waypoints, go play GW2, much faster to travel imo

There is a ton a topics about this, and in a lot of them its listed most of the problems and their solutions.

At the end it would just be way too much work for something people wouldn’t even try to enjoy after the first impact.

And if you think about it, what you’re asking for is pretty much water combat in the air.
I say this because you’d have to move in a volume (water/air) instead of a plane (land combat) and needless to say most people don’t like water combat right now.
Reasons vary, but the reasons would be shared between water and air combat thus defeating the point of even trying to make it in the first place.
To name a few, you can’t use AoEs, water combat also limits the use of some utility and elite skills, people hate this specially when you talk about things like Dagger Storm for example.
Then there’s the fact that water combat makes use of another set of weapons that people simply don’t bother learning, and speaking about not bothering to learn, you’d be amaze to know how many people don’t have a “sink” key assign, by default “float” is assigned to Space but to sink you have to assign one yourself, thanks to this people don’t even know how to control their char in underwater combat how are they spouse to learn how to fight underwater to start to enjoy it?

No. Just no it would not work. I think we might need some slightly faster travel methods but no. And a HUGE no to flying mounts.

I wouldn’t mind at all if these were all in separated ‘areas’ above the current map. And by separated I mean that it is impossible to land a flying mount on the ground, it would be battle in a separated area basically. And besides mounts and flying creatures, airships may be just as interesting. (there is a whole new dare concept to entering an airship, that just isn’t there on a normal boat, mainly the 1000s of meters below you and certain death after the way down)

Obviously you could still ‘land’ by using the waypoints, anywhere there are waypoints. And it might not even be a bad thing if you could ‘land’/‘air dock’ at major cities. As long as you can’t swoop down on the landmap anywhere, i’dd be all for giving people air-combat.

Not sure if I would frequent it, but I would surely take a look, if only for the stunning overview of Tyria.
