While I think this is a fantastic idea to solve the problem of people standing inside of NPCs and blocking them for others, I already found it annoying within the first minutes of the beta.
Is there not a way to deal with the problem of people blocking NPCs without such an annoying and immersion/gameflow- breaking way?
Thoughts?
Edit: Here’s an Idea: When other players come too close to an NPC they appear dismounted for us, with all the animations etc. But on their side nothing happened, they are still on their mount. If they move a tiny amount out of the NPC range then the other players see their mounts again.
Quickfix, delete mounts ^^ but we all love mounts, especially crazy, lovely bunny mount what look so cute I could inject jew kilos of sugar straight to my veins ^^ And we love mounts because that is must have in every massive mmo, it’s also common that mounts are Big and block everything, so that’s pure fun.
I think it will be common not to see anything except huge mounts that cover all screen and crash game few times more than usually, rip gw2, anet you should implement mounts-free areas.
I hope mounts will be disabled in HoT and core game!!!
@Edit; Ahh also wait for legendary hyper shiny mounts that illuminate your eyes 4ever hah xD
@Edit2; Adenin.5973 OK
I just said there will be some hyper mounts skins in item shop, anet wont let you hide it and mounts kitten me off so much (especially bunny) the only thing I’d like to see now is “disable mounts” in settings tab and show ppl riding broomsticks or carpets instead.
It doesn’t really solve the issue of standing on NPCs with mounts because it doesn’t auto dismount within a certain range of an NPC, only when you interact with it. So people can still troll by stacking mounts around NPCs. Of course they could already do that with regular player characters but this could make it even more annoying.
