We’ve had hundreds of threads like these,mounts won’t be coming to gw2..and most threads about mounts will get removed.

Quit spreading misinformation, the developers have not ever stated they will never add mounts. In fact in the same interview where it was stated they wouldn’t be in at launch, the same interview you and everyone purposely misinterpret as stating there will never be any mounts, that same developer blatantly states they are a possibility for future development.

Besides, I highly doubt that anet would ignore what is one of the most requested features from their playerbase. Take a look at GvG, for example. Gw2 was not designed around gvg, but the playerbase has requested it since forever, and there we are, with a GvG CDI thread coming sometime soon. Likewise, the game wasn’t designed with raids in mind, but now we all know they’re probably in the works.

The forums is not representative of the playerbase. Even if we say that it was, there has always been twice as many players against mounts as there have been for mounts.

I think you mean the players against mounts have always been twice as loud as the players for mounts…

Why hasn’t this been merged with the main mount thread? The op used a misleading subject line on purpose to circumvent the mods practice of merging all mount threads into one.
Hopefully they are all over this one too.

Reported!

You don’t see them continuously making threads asking for there not to be mounts, right?

No you just see the same group of people mindlessly spamming page after page of insults and nonsense whenever a thread is open.

And why on earth would anyone post about not wanting something that isn’t in the game, or so far as we know planned or in development? That is one of the dumbest arguments I have ever heard.

if you think the gvg minority having a cdi is going to save this game..

’Cause mounts will do so much more.

And you see the same people posting threads asking for mounts.

The argument was a reversal of yours. You say that those against mounts are the loudest when it’s those that are for mounts that actually are when they continuously make threads wanting them. The thing is that you don’t ever see people that are against mounts making threads that they should not be in the game.

Find three people that have made even two threads about mounts, let alone more. Because I can find dozens of players that have posted an innumerable amount of times in every single mount thread without a single word that didn’t fall under mockery, spam, or nonsense. Some of them have already even posted in this thread, as they do in every thread, no matter how frequently or infrequently they show up.

Making a single thread to voice your opinion or ideas on content you would enjoy, is perfectly reasonable. Organizing yourself into an army to mindlessly spam literally tens of thousand of contentless posts to attack whenever someone does make such a thread, whenever and wherever possible, is not.

cheshirefox.7026:

this game is going to wither and die if they keep allowing talking points to dictate where it goes

I was under the impression that a CDI is only a discussion (as has been repeatedly stated by ArenaNet employees). Even if the CDI is about something they’re actually working on, I imagine it’s for introducing any ideas they haven’t thought of (which will likely be considered on if it will be reasonably developed and evaluated as such), and/or how well-aligned the idea is to forum players’ desires (possibly incurring tweaks).

Nah no mounts plz, it would be painful work to remove waypoints in the pve maps and give mounts to ppl move around and make them happy.

I mean, why make ppl happy and make them want to play this game, right?

Other than that, i cant think of many high successful mmos with mounts…

I haven’t seen a single MMO with well executed mounts. Very few games in general with satisfactory mounts. I am not content with a balloon horse with a speed bonus printed on it’s flank.

Feirlista Xv.1425:

The maps in Archeage are much larger than GuildWars so the need for mount is really not nessesery and how will a mount change the way you travel in the game you still have to control the mount the same way you control your charature as you run also Archeage has very few way points or portals to move around in a zone so to get to point to point in any map quickly you need that added speed a mount gives you. Yes mounts would be cool but not practical for GuildWars. It is not part of the GuildWars lore no race in Tyria ever adapted the need to ride on an animals back. The only thing that came close was riding in the worms in GuildWars1.

As a player of games like NWO and STO I have to disagree with this argument. Sure the maps are larger on Archeage however Archeage is not the sole game that used mounts. NWO has maps just are large as the ones on GW2 and they implemented a mount system there because they knew that people wouldn’t want to have to run to where they needed to be. The same goes for STO, the devs there have been talking lately about adding mounts to their ground mission parks because they are large enough to warrant having mounts and some of the zones in STO are the same virtual size as Lornar pass and Orr. So really they could add mounts to the game and make them worth having like having a leveling system that improves the mounts so that players can’t just instantly jump on them and go 100% run speed suddenly.

They could also add mounts as rewards to boss events something that’s been fun in every title. And they could add mounts to the store and attach them to charities a time honored practice in games with shops for many years.

It’s not just about getting around it’s also about the look and feel of the player. Mounts are the virtual extension of the Muscle Car psychology.

Btw,i honestly think the mounting in Archeage is a dull experience,to be completely fair archeage as a whole is completely dull,the game feels like a job with everything you do..Gw2 is still miles ahead of archeage imo.

Also im kinda confused as how you think leveling and exploring in gw2 is boring while you dont find it boring in archeage ? Gw2 has an awesome atmosphere and the pve zones are Really well thought through and theres something pretty to see and to explore everywhere you look and go.While in archeage its all a bland,boring,empty big space with little atmosphere and it feels unfinished,unpolished.Look at their dungeons,its just pathetic to call it a dungeon at all.All the quests are the same,go kill 10 monsters because i say so,then pick 10 of these because i want you to,come back here so i give you some xp and silver and gtfo to the next guy who will give you the exact same quests again …yadayada.
Anyway…no mounts ;p

what!? Archeage mount system is brilliant. The charging and mounted combat is so much fun. And “lightyears” ahead? Don’t think so… Gw2 doesn’t even have a relevant guild system.. Gw2 doesn’t have guild halls/keeps… Gw2 is so restrictive with its weapons and armor towards classes (an incredibly outdated system btw.. Mages use robes.. warriors use armor.. ZzZzZz) And lots to see sure but nothing to gain. The scenery in archeage is just as beautiful if not more gorgeous than gw2… and you can fly above while also venturing.. and go on boats while waging real boat battles.

The stealth system in AA is INCREDIBLE. Its so simple, effective, and BALANCED. SpamWars has much to learn about variety and BALANCE and can take notes from the very newly released AA.

And lets talk about those dungeons. LOL. Gw2 has the most boring dungeons ive ever experienced in any game ever. The bosses are a joke. Here’s your boss batte: Stack, buff, kill, rinse repeat. Only a few viable classes for dungeons (qq necro).

I understand fanboyism.. but lets face facts for once.. AA is amazing.

yeah. AA is so amazing that even Korean didn’t want to play it :v

AA has good points and bad points. Depending on your play style, it can be more or less amazing. It’s great for trolls and hard core open world PvP types. It’s bad for a lot of other people.

You’re joking right? You just said that archeage is boring compared to guild wars 2, how about we talk about content, what does guild wars 2 have to offer once you hit max level? Fractals? Grinding the same dungeons every day? Annoying rng world bosses that never give you anything worthwhile? Let’s be honest here guild wars 2 is an amazing game that will last a hardcore gamer or player a couple of months, and I know you will say “But guild wars 2 isn’t for hardcore players!”, I know it isn’t for hardcore players but at least they could add some quality content where you can farm or grind and stay busy rather then finishing new content in two days and then going back to grinding dungeon for that new gem store skin. Come on Archeage is much better as far as rewarding content and stuff to do, they have raids, dungeons, world pvp, arenas, and not easy to obtain in a few days gear which keeps you busy, they even have ships in the game how awesome is that? Guild wars 2 is great but at the end of the day is seriously lacking content. As for mounts no one wants to spend 10 minutes getting back to where they died in WVW or in Pve “Oh but we have waypoints!” Honestly waypoints are nice but sometimes it’s nice to just explore the world instead of having to run everywhere, mount’s could be great end game content too you could make certain mounts drop from certain bosses or mobs so much can be done with this game but we have too many people saying no no no to adding any content that resembles what wow has and that will be the fall of this game.

I told you what i disliked heavily about Broken Dullage.They have raids ? We do aswell…they hve dungeons ? Mate..theyre dungeons are kitten compared to gw2’s dungeons,did you ever went in one ? They have arenas ?We also have Arenas.And about your comment about Mounts i seriously disagree ..No one wants to spend 10m walking ? Ugh I guess mmo’s are not for you if that’s your mindset.

Archeage in a nutshell
Broken clunky animations + skills
Empty world
The world feels dead
Unpolished
Horrible community
Everyone riding on mounts is breaking immersion for me
Unfinished/unpolished areas
Horrible textures used in alot of areas + armours
Boring all of the same Fetch quests
No interesting story
The world is bland

Advertize the game with full dx11 support + tesselation,then release the game with a buggy version of some dx10.5/dx11 simulator with no tesselation to be found
More zerging than gw2
Open world pvp is aweful
Who cares about being able to use all weapons on all classes ?…Really if that’s something you like the game for than your standards are pretty kitten low
Pvp > The one who cc’s first wins
etc etc..

I really could care less about housing,farming,crafting,sailing,riding around on donkeys or cows ( srsly.. ) ..its all incredibly dull imo.After 50 the game feels like a job besides all.

When did you start playing guild wars 2? I am guessing not that long ago since you feel this way about the game, I know guild wars 2 has dungeons and pvp but what about raids? You mean world bosses that drop greens and blues every time? And by arenas you mean the bland boring unbalanced mess that all everyone does is run cheese builds in pvp? Honestly you have no argument here as far as content goes guild wars 2 is years away from AA, as far as quality I’ll give you that one guild wars 2 has more polish but lets be honest here all guild wars 2 has going for it right now is its combat. At the end of the day a mmo is something that you play to keep you busy and have fun which is what many people do but for many of us having fun is playing something relatively new that is actual content and “rewarding” which is what this game needs more rewarding content so maybe more dungeons and actual raids that give something special. I have played this game since beta and still haven’t seen anything worthwhile added to the game. As far as dungeons go standing in one spot “stacking” and auto attacking is your idea of fun? At least in AA bosses actually move around and do actual attacks which is an actual challenge. And you say mounts break immersion? What about waypoints???? You magically teleport to a different location on a map without using anything you just click on it, come on if anything that is immersion breaking.
