The problem would be to design the mounts for each race.

Well, not really.

Golems for Asura.
Plant horses for Sylvari.
Battle bears for Norn (cause we’re so awesome and just be glad I’m not suggesting battle bears with lasers attached to their heads)
Charrcycles for Charr.

Humans can walk.

imagine a battle bear with 3 mesmer greatsword attached to each side of the body ‘drowl’
charrcycles for charr would make me make a charr enigi… and i don’t like char nor the playstile of a engi. charrcyles would be epic ( can i haz cannons too please)

Waffler.1257:

I’ll support mounts as long as they only have 1hp, and killing the mount also kills the player. Then it’s a win win, all the mount people get to look cool riding around their unicorns and I get to accelerate my WvW kill count.

Mounts should be cosmetic only. No speed boost, use them, collect them for vanity / bragging rights. Any attack by the player (or against the player) should imediately dismount them and put them into ‘combat mode’

Bradesco.9621:

I wish I could ride, just a simple horse, would be a bit less painfull walking along this massive world….

i totaly agree.
mounts just to speed up the traveling, and not for combat.

Hello, I’m here to crush your dreams.

There will be no mounts coming with the Flame and Frost story arc.

Also, to address further speculation we’ve seen about the concept art for Flame and Frost (and what it may portend): there will be no Cantha and no dragons coming with the Flame and Frost story arc, either.

Thank you.

But you haven’t ruled out unicorns.

ANET SAYS WE’RE GETTING UNICORNS!

UNICORNS! UNICORNS! UNICORNS!

Oh attaching lasers to a bear is cool, but attaching one to a blimp is not?

Also: Underwater mounts (= sharks and Quaggan)

It would be cool only if you could straddle said blimp and drive it straight down Zhaitan’s gullet yelling “YEEEEEEEHHHAAAAWWWWW!” the whole time.

That was my suggestion in one of the countless threads about the topic. Kamikaze blimbs ftw.

I admit that before the game was released I both wanted and expected mounts. I expected them becuase they said the main reason they were making GW2 was becuase the GW1 engine couldn’t do what they wanted to do; and then they gave us all the cool concept art of the guy riding a giant beatle and the golem carrying the Asura.

However once I actually got to play the game I realized it was not at all designed for mounts and I would actually hate if they did add mounts.

I feel certain that they will never add mounts to GW2 for the simple fact that mounts would disable the “dodge” mechanic which is supposed to be a core feature of the game.

Hello,

Since Regina gave the answer about the main question of this thread, it is now closed.

We want to thanks everyone for the constructive discussion, and for the sense of humour we have seen here
