Hey Everyone, feel free to share your suggestions on Mounts, I got few so far.

1# It should be possible to dismount without mount disappearing. Have it follow player until player “stows” it. Possibly give it a “Stay” order.

2# Having some emotes designed and/ or allowed while being mounted. Being able to /wave while in saddle for example. Plus Mount emotes, that would work only while mounted. /sit, /roar, etc.

3# Noticed that current Raptor can be dyed only with one Dye. Having more options would be nice.

EDIT: 4# Pets can already have their own names, why not allow our mounts to have one, too!

Thats all I had in mind.
What do others think, I wonder?

A suggestion I have it to make it so you do not auto dismount when talking to npcs. Would be cool if we could stay on the mounts while talking to them.

More dye channels = YES and a must

Emotes = YES and a must

DO NOT dismount while talking to NPC = YES and a must

Visible mounts after dismount? No

Also we need a farm/menagerie at our home instance for pets and mounts please.

Pls no dismounting when talking to an NPC in the open world.

Just dismount in areas around really important objects quest givers if you really have to but dismounting because of every single little interaction, even somewhere in the desert is already annoying.

I can only assume dismounting on NPC is to cull mounts to make NPC’s visible so they can be clicked when a large mass of players is next to one and using the location. Otherwise one could wall off NPC’s entirely with interactive items on the ground like feasts etc. and covering the area with mounts.

You can do this right now! You can stand with your raptor inside of an NPC.
Dismounting upon interacting is nothing a troll or griever stops it only stops normal players in accidentally blocking the interactive object.

I like the weight and momentum of the mount but strafing and general camera control should be the same as the character. Turning instead of strafing is really bad.

Also, jumping and dismounting while still in mid-air so we can glide or even better a separate key-bind to dismount and glide with one keypress would be a major QoL addition.

I would actually pay to see more animations of the raptors, they’re just that good.
So yes to all of that.

And different skins of course (Samarog mount <3 <3 <3)

My requests:

Please allow us to harvest on mounts, otherwise they are virtually useless for travel. No one is going to dismount every five seconds for a resource, by that point you might as well just walk on a permaswift build and fight mobs.

Please allow us to strafe on mounts.

Please allow us to use mount emotes. We know they have them, because they play some while idle ,etc.— just make them controllable.

Please allow better dying, its really bad—one (poor) dye channel on Raptor, and even the most expensive dyes in the game (like Electro dyes) barely affect it, it can’t seem to get very dark or very light no matter what you do.

Please change skill #1 to skill #2 and add a skill #1 that does basic attacks that don’t dismount, I understand you don’t want us to use them in combat but if we are dismounting every five seconds for a dozen diferent reasons no one will ever pull them out to begin with, it will get very fatiguing.

At least allow “auto re-summon mount” feature that works like travel toys. That’s the whole reason these features were added to travel toys…….

As it stands mount will only be used for showing off and jump puzzles. :c

Regarding mount skins.

I would suggest that any mount skin keeps the raptor (springer, skimmer, etc.) identifiable as a raptor and does not change its basic form too much.

- Multi-channel dyeable skin.
- Other saurian models (T-Rex, etc.)
- Other accoutrements (saddles, armor, decorations), dyeable.

1. No, player clutter for no reason other than annoying people at vendors
2.Waste of resources, the mounts are already beautifully animated and they are not a vanity item but a tool to exploit, it’s like asking for ranger pet emotes, it brings nothing new to the gameplay.
3.ABSOLUTELY NOT, we already have glowstick kittenfests and people that dress up and color their characters like absolute clowns with wings that glide with magitech absurdity that ruin the arstyle of the game, those people do not need more encouragement.

Not only do I want my mount to follow me around I’d like him to play the banjo and sing to me too.

Gotta have them emotes because every other MMO has them too.

The fact they you can even dye your mount is pretty awesome, what’s even better is an ungrateful request especially when other mmos do not allow this feature.

Insatiable ones!

MMORPG’s are not easy, you’re just too PRO!!!

Okay so some buildings have no mount signs and you can’t walk through that bit, but you can mount up again when your’re inside, this should be disabled to.

Strange. I considered this, and the entire topic, to be titled “Suggestions” and not ‘Requests’. But I guess they don’t know the difference of this word in other MMOs…..

Mounts handle perfect don’t change a thing

Tack that fits race would be cool as a gem store item. Techy looking for asura, animal hides for Norn, plant stuff for Sylvari, Aggressive iron for Charr and English saddle for humans.

1#
You can just stand at vendor while mounted already, so your argument about 1# is completely invalid. My suggestion would bring possibility for more cute animations and the feeling of actualy having a mount. Gameplay is but one of many aspects of the game. Atmosphere of the game is one of the utmost important ones, which my suggestion promotes.

2#
Thats actually the only reasonable point in your entire post, yet nobody said Anet has to prioritize it as a Number One of Road map, this can be easily done during following months of develepement that is ahead of PoF.

3#
I am glad that you immidietely assumed I want 4+ colours on Mounts, that was actually a really good one.
You considering a freedom of choice for players as an argument to not include a freedom of choice is just… nice of you. I met many people looking like Clowns and it was just either funny or nice because, as we all for sure know, Anet always aimed for community as a top priority, so I really don’t think it breaks the artstyle of the game, in a way the players are the artstyle of the game.

Just a suggestion, sorry if it’s already been made; please make the mounts larger / proportional to the Charr models. I don’t know if just increasing the raptor size will fix it, but with the raptor for now, the Charr model looks very clunky on the mount.

I think the problem is the Charr are so tall (at least looking at the female model). It’s almost the same height as the raptor itself, as well as the width of the shoulders with the Charr’s armor pauldrons.

1. Agreed.
2. At the very least there should be some, like /sit. The animation already exists as an idle, just allow us to do it on an emote. Beyond stuff like that, more is cool but unnecessary. And ranger pets aren’t something everybody will have, use, and see all the time with such large models.
3. If you look at the existing dye channel on the raptor, it’s fairly moderate. Sure, if you give it Permafrost or something it looks a little absurd, but try on a red or black; it’s quite natural. More dye channels like that would be AMAZING.

If we ever get cat/feline mounts, they definitely should have these two masteries:

“Cunning Agility” Falling damage for feline mount reduced by 80%.

“Charming Stare” Feline mount applies confusion to a group of foes.

100% Agreed for all that ideas!

Especially that #1… It’s kinda weird to see my character goes poof and zoom in awkwardly when talking to npc or bounty board and again poof for mounting it back and zoom out awkwardly.
I don’t want to do magic show of Raptor disappearing and reappearing in front of every npc that I talked to…

i’m agree with all of those ideas.
But i put one more idea that will help the gem store for sure: Do as decorations/bridle, saddle or other stuff as kit to sell on gem store. The model of the mount will not change, but you can “decorate” your animal as you prefer. You can colour your mount kit with dyes and preview it in the Hero panel as we already have for gliders. So yea, maybe we will have all the same mounts but everyone in game can, if they want, personalize their animals.

I’m seconding this- maybe make Charr mounts a bit bigger? Although Charr are so top-heavy compared to other races I’m not sure how much it will help.

My only other issue with mounts is that some of the races seemed to bounce around in the saddle too much. The Charr and Norn looked fine, but Sylvari and Asura were bouncing all over the place when running/jumping. It’s a minor aesthetic complaint at most, but as someone who’s done a lot of horseback riding, it looked extremely uncomfortable.

All the suggestions are good, but especially #1. I’d love it if the mount stayed around after I dismount and grazed or whatever. If I wander off and want to remount, I’d call it and it would come running over. Maybe that could be an option so people can choose either disappearing mounts or staying mounts.

It would be important to have different skin.
A name for the horseback.

Then, I’m personally disappointed by the rides. At least from the raptor.
