Guild Wars 2

Ok, so I have read up on mounts and the reason we don’t have them in gw2. (We have instant WPs, map exploration is a fundamental aspect of his game etc…) what I would love to see is mounts used more of an aesthetic item so they don’t have to necessarily increase your speed. And can possibly be used in combat with their own set of traits. Maybe have a ram it has an opener to stun. A horse that has a Sprint or certain duration on swiftness. In elk that opens with the bleed. Maybe a flightless Griffin that applies vulnerability or weakness. So on and so on. Maybe once the mounts combat ability has been used to immediately dismount. Maybe just have it as an elite trait you can use.

We get this thread daily,; the answer has always been, still is, and hopefully will always be: no.

The game is already a complete cluster-kitten of max size characters, giant, spiky armour, glowing greatswords and special effects. We don’t need them riding horses, sparkly unicorns or even some sort of mechanized, steampunk hippopotamus that radiates a green cloud full of carrots out of its nostrils.

Couldn’t have said it better myself!

Yesterday was duels so today we were due for yet another mount thread. I suppose race change will be tomorrow. I’m starting to wonder if it is some guild that plans this just to troll the forums. LOL

OP if you read up on all the countless threads maybe you should have posted in the most recent of those instead of starting yet another thread.

Oh and I agree with Chameleon Dude. The reason I don’t want mounts is purely due to aesthetics. I don’t want more unnecessary screen clutter and personally I think mounts look kind of lame so I’d rather not see them everywhere I go.

Definitely second that.
