Do you recall those fun moments in battlefield type multiplayer games where you’re just riding along in someone else’s vehicle to the objective? Those were always so much fun to me.

Oddly enough GW2 has a huge battleground but nothing that groups and bonds people like that.

Here are a few proposals:

The small transport – a wheeled vehicle or beast of burden that carries 3 people at once. It would have good movement speed (hard to ballpark what that should be but suffice to say, it would feel faster than walking). The balance to this is that a transport would have low ‘health’ and be costly, perhaps 50 silver or more. It might also need another so-called “risk” versus the benefit to it, so perhaps it would blow up and kill the people in it if attacked while they’re in it. Possibly asuran technology/hovercraft like.

The big armored transport – an “oh god look what’s coming” kind of bad boy that can carry 8 people, has significantly more health than the small transport, and has a gunner position with something similar to arrow cart potential. Of course it would be expensive and be 2 gold, but at only mildly less speed than the the small transport, it has great potential. It could also be used for defensive hijinks since riders would not take damage inside it. Of course the vehicle itself could be wrecked eventually. Possibly charr-inspired looks.

Cooperatively used siege I think would be cool as well, but I won’t write out full specs for that since you get the idea.

well the main problem i think with this would be that ppl usually cut a LOT of travel time on foot by jumping down cliffs (this is SPECAILLY true for borderlands) which is not really that practical for a vehicle to do. Also though if put in they should NOT cost that much money, but instead a lot of supplies to build so it in no way could really be done properly with 2-3 ppl only but would require a real team effort like when you put up trebs and siege golems

No siege vehicles. No gnomes making motorcycles. The golem is enough, and actually makes sense.
