One major benefit of mounts is that instead of relying so heavily on multilevel to increase map size they won’t be afraid to make the map large in terms of area.

If the map is bigger but doesn’t have many WP (cause mounts), it will be very annoying IMO. WP are instant travel, mounts are not.

I’m actually OK with a more open map cramming things into such a tight space is part of the problem with Tangled Depths. More room should equate to less mob density. Also another issue with HoT was all the gliding restrictions or mobs that shot you out of the air so you couldn’t utilize movement in much of the maps.

I mean, I’m not saying the map should be so heavily restricted like it was in HoT. That WAS kind of annoying. I’m all for some of it being held off, but the amount they did was kind of insane.

I just don’t see giant maps as being the resolution. Unless they do it right. But a bland desert compared to one of the most unique and beautiful maps I’ve seen in an MMO….eh. I hope it isn’t as bland as I think it will be.

Here is another question, if the maps are bigger, will we get an increase to the population cap? If not, that might suck heavily.

If I can Yoshi-bounce off my Springer to go into glider mode, that’d be kittening shweeeet.

While that may be true, I’m certain my bouncybunny could survive the fall. -3-
Probably.

I’m just joking around. I’m sure you’re a decent person. Big bunny is built for giant leaps and descents so you shouldn’t feel bad for jumping off to catch some air for your glider.

Unless you do it over a lava pit or something. You monster.

Interesting that Gliding is coming to WvW very soon. Next week, I believe. Now I won’t fall off so many cliffs because…“oops, I forgot”. Lol.

It’s long overdue. I hope mounts come quickly to WvW. And maybe a new borderland for the green side so that every side has a unique map. Blue is the classic Alpine map. Red is the Desert map. Green could be the new hotness. EB is EB.

mounts are debatable in WvW

especially since one mount would basically be a get-over-all-walls free card.

If it’s implemented like gliding is going to be implemented, it’s going to be very situational based on who owns what territory. It can just auto-dismount you just like it can auto-drop you from gliding into a fort or something.

Don’t take my indecency from me. I work hard to maint-

Nevermind, that sounds like something I would do. At least once. Twice if there’s a death animation attached.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one thinking that.

Oh yeah, the moment I saw those giant bunnies jumping high into the air I thought…..jump…glide….sweet!

The question is if they will let us do combos like that.

I thought the point of Mounts was not “here is a way to get around faster”, but more “here is a bunch of new weird ways to get stuff done in the game”.

I don’t see them much differently then Jumping Mushrooms or Lava Tubes, as in, Mounts will exist to force us to think differently and to do things differently.

The fact that they might get us around the map “a bit faster” is probably a distant second.
