Guild Wars 2

Norn would have to do a handstand on it, so that their feet don’t drag on the ground.

I’d like creepy stuff too but neither of those YT links are working for me.

Creepy

So what I’ve gathered is that we just create whatever comes to mind from seeing these screenshots, or do you have a particular theme in mind?
This is too tempting to not try

Sorry for all of these WORDS but it’s 4:53 AM, and I can’t let my love for this stuff be hidden away in my brain meat any longer.

When I first heard that mounts were going to be implemented in the game, my feelings on it were pretty negative. Mounts in other games were okay, but I’d gotten so used to the world as it was that I thought riding creatures all over the place would, Idk, “ruin the sanctity of gw2” I guess.

But now that I’ve seen how they are in the demo, I just can’t resist gushing about them publicly!
I wasn’t really going to play the demo at first, because I like doing things in a linear order; but I am SO GLAD that I decided to get a sweet taste of that mount action! The animations are so fluid, and the model so gorgeous, I just can’t get enough! As an artist, I’ve been obsessed with the gorgeousness of Tyria since I downloaded the game, and this just sent me over the moon.

I’ve been getting on every day solely to ride around the map 50 times.

Everything feels so real and smooth. The way the raptor kicks off to get moving, the way it slides to a stop, the graceful leaps… It’s like I’m dreaming, and I don’t want to wake up.

I probably sound like an obsessed fanboy right now, but kitten . You guys did a superb job. Thank you for working so hard on something like this to make it more than it “had to be”. The animators and artists have all of my respect. I can’t wait to see what you’ve done with the other mounts in person!

TL;DR: Holy heck I love these RAPTORS

It takes a little while to get used to, but once you do, it’s a lot easier. I had a bit of a learning curve just like anyone else did, but now I LOVE how it actually feels like I’m riding something!
Also, jumping into a pile of mobs and ruining their day with a raptor tail to the face makes me feel awesome. Lol.

But something I notice was the Riders are animated in PoF. The trailer doesn’t show it well, but the WP interview has some footage of the training level with the Raptor. In it you can see the rider leaning in response to the mount’s movements, playing with the reigns, their body will swivel to match your camera’s look direction, and the models are IK’d correctly (which is not nearly as common a thing as it should be).

I was pretty on the fence about mounts when I first heard they were adding them, but the functionality of them and seeing how well animated they are completely changed my mind.
I’m excited just to be able to see that in person!

It used to be slower like that, it did look so much better. I remember being really put off when I first noticed the change =(

My favourite thing about it was the jumping puzzle. I could see where to go and how to get there with just a quick look-around (mostly)
Honestly some of the most fun I’ve had with a jp. I’d love more like this!

GW2 and the Prince of Fire

For the love of God, Zojja, please. The only Destiny’s Edge character I gave a heck about.

Time to go running through the cornfields with my partner!
Little does she know the horrors that lie in wait.

Maybe the Devs should introduce something like Tribbles for our Home Instance. Only they would be amphibious and called Quabbles. Lol.

I can imagine there being an achievement for that.
