Guild Wars 2

This is not a thread asking for traditional mounts. I dont want these, especially not with a 30% speed buff.

I would however like to see Anet expand on the ‘mount like’ toys they have released in the Gem store like the magic carpet. I think these are a good compromise between mounts and no mounts and I want more :P

Here are a few lore appropriate suggestions for new mount-toys:

Dolyak
Oakheart
Giant Moa
Dredge/Charr cart

Id also like to suggest adding a 5 minute timer to these to avoid visual clutter from AFKers in cities.

So this would be purely cosmetic? Like the witch’s broom?

yep

ok I really have to ask because this has been bugging me, and no offense intended. Are the people who keep asking for mounts and stuff just rp’ers?

Imo we will on 100% get mount in expansion. Why? Well we all know it will be in Cantha and asuras never lived that far and there will be no waypoints so..:-)

I personaly want some crossover between asura style hoverboard and classic Harley

Im not a RPer. I kinda find it annoying. I just find it more fun to ride something than walk. Adds more variety.

I can understand that, long as its not useable in combat or give any speed boosts sounds cool

how bout karka?

Would actually be nice to see how a continent without waypoints would work in GW2. Mounts or other type of fast travel would probably be needed, maybe some predefined fast travel choices like airship and boat routes (like in WoW), too, although I don’t think GW2 supports moving platforms like WoW does, would probably be just a loading screen and maybe a cutscene in between.

well, assuming we ever get to cantha, dont think asura will be banned from entering, and wp technology will be used there to

Oh look, a duplicate mount thread in disguise.

I would love more toys, I like some of the suggestions:
An Oakheart for my sylvari or
A Huge PINK Moa (for my mesmer) would be nice
(actually I would love the moa to be color selectable, we could hold moa races =D ), but It would need to be gigantic for my max-size charrs & norns.

Also I’d like:
- A skritt build carrying chair/throne carried around by several Skritt
Features: The skritt dropping you (destoying the chair and grabbing instruments and playing a selectable song, or doing acrobatics and salvaging the sticks and stuff and rebruilding it “skritt-way” when done…. I love skritt being themselves.
A Charr monocycle,
Features: doing burnouts/wheelies, (transforming into a helicopter (fixed position just up and down))
A golem (bigger then Taimi’s’s) with an umbrella and a lounge bar complete with mixin cup and staw dispenser…. I do not mind it falling apart
Features: Bar-golem mixing drinks, messing up, Ice dispenser going haywire, skritt popping from fridge?
A bone charriot pulled by enslaved risen knights.
Features: Risen charriot changing to prison or knights playing xylophone on the chariot, whole charriot becoming animated…
A personal customizable (former siege) devourer…..
Features: Siege devourer doing a nice dance, shooting fireworks, doing tricks
A Dolyak companion (not for riding, see Prof. Yakkington)
Features: Dolyak just being nice, cuddling, bowing, and being very wise….. still loving red-irises
or just
A “Taxi-Tron” (Hobo-Tron with a seat)
Features: Hobo-Tron just being it’s annoying self asking fot travel fare, with 10 new nag lines.

Just to give an overview of some things I’d like. I’d love them all, and I’d like them for some additional entertainment purposes. They would definately be more fun then a box of fun. It would be nice for RP-ers and It should stay just for fun. But I doubt they’ll ever exist…

I’m against speed boost AND/OR combat skills. And I do not mind roleplaying options. Only small mounts should be capable of jumping, I would not understand a person being carried up jumping puzzles by skritt. No matter how many shinies the person in question promised.

Just for the record I’m against mounts for the sole purpose of speed boosts and combat skills no matter how beautiful they might get. There are plenty of games having them and this one not having them sets it apart as well.
As we’ll get into other regions I HOPE to see more waypoints. I would hate to see mounts as an requirement to travel. I also do not understand why mounts need to be something more then gimmicks…or toys… or a role play instrument….
