Mounts should be things that give alternate skills and ways of play, like Siege Devourers and Junundu, not the means of getting to places.

Since GW2 will have 'up and down', maybe we could need to fly in some places, sometimes with skills, sometimes with mounts.

/winthread.

i would go with /notsigned, mostly because GW2 is already bordering on the "ZOMGWOWCOPYCAT" level of gameplay decisions, we dont need another wow rip-off.

and just for the hell of it...

Mounts are not just for map traveling. It can be used for ranger as a pet itself.

For example you can either make it a seperated pet who fight along side with you or make it a mount which give you some speed boost but make you attack slower / cast spell slower.

For those who say it's just a copy of WoW: Game becomes better if the developer knows how to use other games's good features. There is nothing wrong with it. Gamers play some certain games based on certain feature it has. As long as the mojority of gamers like that feature, developer will make profit from making it happen which they will.

Btw, mount for traveling, no sorry.

Mount as something special and/or for showing off (like FoW armor, Mini panda and such.) Yes. It's like minipet, do nothing but something cute/fun in the game.

Mount as some special ability (as talked above) Yes. Though need lots of works on this in order to balance out the game.

I forgot about GW z-axis... That very well makes (useless) flying mounts an option though.

Unless outposts were crazy huge, and required you to have increased speed / fly to get through it, I think mounts should be for Battle purposes only.

Maybe make a selection of skins ,but that doesnt effect stats (like roller beatles. the colour and skin you got didnt affect how fast you went). All these skins would be similarely priced, OR like 5k and 15k armour system. 1 elite skin, for each normal skin. There would be like "Mount Trainers" , to prevent what happened with the mini pets.

If there's mounts in GW2, then that most likely means there's no map travel, which most likely means I'm not buying GW2.

I hate fully/mostly-instanced MMORPGs

umm, no it doesnt. As stated by several other people, when you see "Mounts", you think for traveling purposes only.

~ Mounts could be anything from "status items" usable only in Outposts.
~ Cosmetic (they dont change your armour, attacks, speed etc. just for looks). Only differents from above is, instead of winning these, they function like armour sets (auto customized, and purchased from a trader). With or without "15k" versions of their "normal" version.
~ Battle purposes (for specific places in Pve ie: seige wurm, seige devourer, etc).
~ Seige purposes in PvP
~ Specific to certain profession (like a ranger simply getting on its pet)
~ etc.

do you see that mounts are not just for travelling purposes?
