Guild Wars 2

Hi guys,

I have a idee. i play this game now like a few months and i miss a good thing ingame like mounts. My idee was to do it in GW2 style and i love mount combat to that will be awsome like horses and riding bears and big birds and you maybe can buy faster mounts of course at the gem shop that is of course mounts are account bound on every character you can use them. do you like the idee plz say yes to it because it the best for the game gems are need to buy to help the game be alife and you can get free mount at lvl 11 to a bit more fast travel and my idee was to at lvl 40 get a bit faster mount and lvl 80 fastest mount and gem mount are faster then lvl 80 mounts do you like the idee now plz vote yes in a new reaction on this topic you will help the game grow with it.

the best wishes to my peaple in my guild and al the other how wil like this idee.
from every server i want to help this aprove and want to help it grow and sell copys of course

Mounts in GW2 was suggested many times and rejected many times.
I’m on the side that mounts here wouldn’t be a good idea at all.

Gem Store mounts with speed boosts would be little more than a P2W mechanic which could easily be abused in WvW.

Mounts already exist in some form on the Gem Store and there’s little need for any more.

Mounts have not been rejected, there’s just divided opinions on them just like there are divided opinions on the current LS, some like it some don’t. Don’t generalize things just because you don’t like the idea.

EDIT: On subject this is the official mount topic that Mods send you to:

moving from map to map without mounts makes GW2 special.

Not another one of these… -_-

not moving at all due to waypoints makes GW2 ‘special’. If you want to travel faster buy a solid-state drive (wtf filter?).

Let’s just turn Guild Wars 2 into World of Warcraft, so people who want to pay World of Warcraft can play Guild Wars 2 like it was World of Warcraft.

Personally for me mounts are about style rather than function (which is fine – gaming is a visual medium). I’d love, LOVE to see some proper mounts, either horses or hell, even moas!

Mounts with an unstackable 33% increase wouldn’t damage anything. It’d free up a trait slot at best and at least every class would have access to the same speed buff.

idee teehee
but in all seriousness, NO just NO take your mounts and go ride them at another game.

Mounts to run across a map when I can click a WP. Personally no thanks. Unless it’s a dragon can I tame shatterer on my Ranger? Then, then it’s a yes!

I had a good laugh reading this :P sorry :P

fine guys for you dislikes ofcourse it is not good to dislike it but i dont want to pay everytime 2 silver or mutch more to travel i want to keep a bit more and ride on mounts dragons horsen and other many cool things even flying on a dragon do i like en sprint with a horse if you dont like the idee dont react to it

Mounts are unnecessary with the waypoint/swiftness system currently in game. All it would do is be another grind and money sink, and I’m not willing to endorse that in an already grind heavy game.

Also, the game is already inundated with P2W feature creep, as exposed by the new mining pick in the gem store now. All adding Gem mounts faster than other mounts would do is accelerate this. This entire idea makes me sick. Sorry OP.

games about cosmetics. Let people fight on their ponies or wolfs even if they do no stat bonuses.

OK Im not going to pull punches but people that don’t want mounts in this game either just don’t like mounts in MMOs or have vision so short metaphorically they need glasses as thick as pint tumblers.

Anet introduce a huge beatuiful world, a world where exploration is a big deal, a world that is event oriented, many which are timed, random, chained and are group events, rather than boring old static stuff, so the world is not constantly exactly the same when you wander through it.

AND WHAT DO THEY DO? EH?

Introduce WP everywhere, instant teleportation, discouraging people to go through it to get to where they are going and have the chance to run across events and instead make limited speed buffs for characters. OK to encourage exploration on foot and keep world completion a challenge don’t allow mounts to be unlocked on an account until one character has been round the block or until level 80 or both but man to help make Tyria a living world lets encourage people to travel through it and not teleport everywhere.

And for people who like choices to teleport everywhere cheaply and instantly rather than travel, well I would like given full ascended gear free but I am not getting that. Teleport should be a privilege not on gold cost but on play. I suggest the more we travel by overland and by mount the more coupons we earn to make teleports encouraging us players to populate a wider area of the world as we travel and saving way pointing only for special events.

Let the flames begin to lap at my legs as I put myself on a stake to be burned. Metaphorically of course.

The only way I would accept mounts being added is if all mounts no matter how they areacquired have the same speed boost and there is one that all players start with or can be bought for under 1 silver. Something low enough that a new player isn’t going to be stopped from getting or would be too high for most players to help a person but if for some reason the copper was hard to come by or was needed for something else.

Expensive account bound mounts that are cosmetic only I would not have a problem with.

#Yes all mounts should have the same max speed and there should be a cheap version. Even more a mount shouldn’t be available until either level 80 or until one character on the account has done world completion on foot or both. Its not needed so much for levelling but I find at level 80 many people begin to waypoint everywhere because its the only fast travel option and all that does is discourage travel overland through this beautiful world Anet made and running across events sometimes in places many folks may not go otherwise where events have low participation.

This is a very obvious symptom, is it not?
However it’s not the players fault. Traveling in large worlds was tedious since the first large world that has been developed for an MMO. The problem was not that it wasn’t fast enough, but that it didn’t pay off. The motivations which keep us playing games like GW2 are to unlock new abilites, reach max level, find the best gear and maybe to compete and show off in pvp. Traveling doesn’t get you there AT ALL. In fact, in slows down progression in these terms. We only do it as long as we have to so Anet decided to cut traveling.

There are other games with large maps where traveling is fun and part of the experience (e.g. far cry). So there are motivations for traveling, they’re just not activated by traditional MMOs.

Ah but Escadin this isnt quite the traditional MMO. Its not static quests and quests dont always have the same fast frequency of respawning. If a world is far too big riding everywhere will be boring but I didn’t say get rid of WPS altogether. A balance would need to be struck. Like I said it is to encourage more land travel and perhaps it would even discourage some of the insane mob trains if instant way pointing couldn’t always be done.
