The beginning of mounts?

A lot of you guys are missing what Xenon is arguing about here I think. Regardless, here’s how I see the mount situation though:

1) I wouldn’t want the screen clutter of increasingly elaborate mounts (shiny things sell in cash shops). However, Anet could eventually provide an option to show other player’s mounts, I would be fine in this situation

2) Social pressure to have a speed boost to keep up. I’m not too sure about this one, warhorn is still useful to run because of (more importantly than the speed buff imho) cripple removal and blasting. I’m pretty sure classes without the perma-swiftness will still get helped by other classes regardless. Even then, there are very few situations where you can’t just WP for this to be a big issue afaik as long as it’s disabled for pvp situations

This might be a dumb suggestion/question, but are any of you guys who get a lot of lag running any overlays? I used to use a world boss/wvw overlay, but about a month ago I realized my fps dropped by about 50-60 whenever it was on. When I stopped using it, my fps shot up to around 70-90 fps. I run on the performance mode preset with some character number drawn/detail settings higher (so I see people and not just names) for wvw or large zerg events and no longer experience significant lag then either. Running Windows 7 on an NA server (Mag) with an i5 and a gtx 770 if that detail matters.

Dispelling Shadows Achievement

Hello, I’ve been trying to figure out how to do this achievement. The wiki, and just about everything I’ve found on Google, talks about killing 3 portals. But the Behemoth summons 13 portals, and I don’t see how it’s possible to kill all of them in 20 seconds (that and hardly anyone goes after the back portals). Am I missing something here?
