Guild Wars 2

Too bad the way GW2 events worked out that only tyria could be accessible at the start. If Cantha and Elona could be accessed as well, might just give enough room to allow gw2 to be a seamless world. That would make it much more appealing imo

I still vote no mounts, ever. The game is not designed to handle mounts.

The game is not designed to handle a lot of new features. That is not a valid reason not to add new features. The only good argument, is one against flying mounts, for technical reasons.

WhiteAndMilky.2514:

If there were mounts, zones would need to be much larger,

Nonsense. Why would they need to be larger?

WhiteAndMilky.2514:

and swiftness would need to be removed from the game.

Nonsense, why would you need to remove speed boosts entirely, if you have mounts?

Successful MMOs with mounts have mounts because there is a NEED for them. You actually NEED them to travel around efficiently. In GW2 you can walk across the entire map in like 10 minutes, you can also waypoint anywhere you want instantly. There is no justification to have mounts. Mounts would also serve to REALLY dull the already dull PvE content there is, as you would just glass over all of it quickly and it would make it all too apparent that it’s very stale and limited.

As for swiftness, well if the above doesn’t explain it already… let me put it this way: You got swiftness in exchange for mounts. If you had mounts AND swiftness, well geez, pve would be EVEN MORE BORING. Nothing would seem like it required any amount of effort at all. The minuscule amount of immersion that this game has would be gone.

Guess your right lol, wondered why i didnt play this game anymore aha

I think mounts should be added for sure! Whether people want them for vanity, travel speed, or both, mounts are a must. Anet made gw2 to be a seamless world, yet it has loading screens, and map travel at a cost (at least gw1 was free), but yet no mounts, which would be more fitting in a truly seamless world environment. I looked at the suggestion page for mounts in gw2 on the gw1 wiki, and someone posted on the discussion page for it that adding mounts is backtracking/backstepping. Although everyone is entitled to their own opinion, that is simply not the case, especially when you want a game engine like what was intended for gw2. I honestly like how GW2 turned out overall, but it would be nice if it was a truly seamless world. Mount’s would also be very helpful to those who wish to travel to places they havent been before a lot quicker than by foot, or gaining timed speed boost from warhorn, and even useful for getting to places you have been, but cant afford to map travel to, which im sure everyone encounters once in a while. It would save people from spending cash if the want to save it, say to stockpile it and turn it into gems, by allowing them to travel quickly at one flat cost(buy mount, use it permanently). And Anet could even create epic looking mounts, flag them as exotic, and sell them in the gem store, giving them even more income from the game, since im sure everyone would want to buy some kind of exotic mount(i for example would pay $$$ for a fern wolf mount, since i love the fern wolf)
