All minipets, except for the mini moa, are actually magically enchanted toys, according the Mini Grey Giant quest.
They aren't flesh and blood creatures.

unless toys can grow, according to above post, lol.

(although mini moa i could imagine to be dead by gw2)

I was thinking they could implement it for that thing we all play for.....come on now what was it?....OH YES! Fun!. I think your imagination is limited, mounts would make the game more immersive and would be especially great in world pvp. You and your mates could all go out on your horses galloping through the trees shooting arrows/swinging at charr. Or diving through clouds on your winged beast, scrapping the tops of mountains. Or even used to pull carages and supplys.

agreed for all reasons stated above. FUN is the reason we should have mounts!

Koudelka · Feb 22, 2008, 04:50 PM // 16:50

I would say no, because mounts seem really gimmickey.

t00115577 · Feb 22, 2008, 04:52 PM // 16:52

mounts would be damn nice in GW2

Greaterbeing · Feb 22, 2008, 04:57 PM // 16:57

Honestly, yes.. i think we should get mounts.. but they shouldnt cost gold. I think there should be a very hard quest to get one that requires skill instead of gold-buyers stroking their e-peen because they spent the most money.

Gimmicks are the trademark of GW2.

Mounts.
Races.
Jumping.
Etc.

what's the point of having mounts if we can map-travel?

Lol, were you one of the rage-quitters on that "Guild Wars Reborn" thread?

Seriously though, I think loading into LA and seeing a load of animals everywhere is slightly annoying. At least you can (imagine to) stomp on minis when they get on your nerves. Hey, didn't I hear Gaile on wiki's gaile-chat say something about a stable ages ago? Mounts are /notsigned by me.

kerpall · Feb 22, 2008, 11:45 PM // 23:45

Well it all depends how big "LA" will be in GW2. Besides, you don't always gotta go to d1 if you get annoyed that easily.

If GW2 outposts were larger than gw1 outposts, then using a mount to increase speed travelling to places would be cool.

As for quests, only way not to mess it up would be: Solo quest + Customized mount. but good idea anyways.

MithranArkanere · Feb 23, 2008, 01:19 AM // 01:19

I can only see mounts as means to make certain things unique to particular areas or to improve combat.

Never as means of transportation between outposts. That would be plain senseless in GW.

kerpall · Feb 23, 2008, 04:07 AM // 04:07

Well, several of my friends are WoW fans, and as bad as an example that is... IF guildwars is adapting a larger server type of system, they will need larger outposts. If you have ever watched someone (or personally) walked throughout a WoW outpost, you will see they are pretty darn big.

I know a mount for the sole purpose of outposts would indeed be stupid, but if GW2 is going to be as big as they say... I would certaintly not doubt the size of outposts anet is willing to make.

You consider jumping gimmicky? Man, I bet you think Super Mario Bros. was the most gimmicky thing ever created. That thing was like, 95% jumping!

But what everyone is saying is, what if we can't map travel? thats when we need mounts.

So hell yeah, why not.

I like the idea but not your suggestion (bold part) - it would lead to more discrimination - I would prefer it if it was available to everyone but you must do a series of quests or something to get it *ranger firing arrows off of a hydras back* who wouldn't love that?

bathazard · Feb 23, 2008, 10:46 AM // 10:46

i think we should have mount races, like rollerbeetle races except you are on a mount of your choice.
go glint go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just saw this gw2 FAQ (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Guild_Wars_2/FAQ... can this be stickied?) and:

Will map travel stay in the game?
Yes.

/notsigned. Gimmickey, annoying, and now thankfully has less point.
