maybe a map/portal travel for bigger cities, but mounts for some smaller in wilderness hidden outposts etc... and mounts would be usefull for doing quests, so no need to walk somewhere in wilderness, if you can fly/be on mount to travel faster.

ah thanks for clearing that up as i needed to check which gwen i would be mounting

I dont think mounts would really be useful, for some strange reason anet encloses all of thier areas with cliffs. Makes it boring to explore/map

Just add the ability to fly and you don't need mounts.

... and have sharks as pets. Sharks with frickin' laser beams coming out of their eyes. Is that too much to ask?

What about mutant seabass? Would those work? We could use those to uhhh ferry us accross the water perhaps? Or eat peoples faces off!

I agree with Ash, we have the ability to teleport from town to town, with mounts it would make runners jobs that much easier. I personally don't see a need for them and it sounds too WoWish...

I'm very confused as to why people automatically assume that mounts = travel.

What I find hilarious is if GW didn't have Rangers with pets, and someone would suggest it, these same people would all assume they were talking about puppies, kittens and goldfish, then instantly dismissing it on those assumptions.

Like this?

Taurucis · Feb 18, 2008, 02:51 PM // 14:51

I already have a mount in Guild Wars. His name is Mallyx the Unyielding.

Wait, maybe he has a mount named Kai Taurucis...

I think there needs to be a balance between mounts and fast travel. Perhaps you can fast travel to all major towns, but for smaller outposts you'd have to walk or ride.

While we're talking about mounts, I say we should have mounted combat for GW2 x]

That could go two ways. If we had dragons i imagine it could be pretty epic.

If we had ponies it could be kinda lame.

And Dragon vs Pony..... well thats only going to be a one way fight....

edit: its ponies tatile - my bad

Tatile · Feb 18, 2008, 03:06 PM // 15:06

Ponies? What ever happened to barded battle steeds?
Charging into battle and causing trampling damage against the un-mounted, how is that useful, or cool?

Edit: Pony's or ponies?

Greyson · Feb 18, 2008, 06:38 PM // 18:38

let's see ... LotR has mounts, WoW has mounts, and even Sacred has mounts

if the world is free of portals <forever loading> you can still zone outpost to town ... why not be like everyone else?

if you have to charm it and break it and train it not to eat your party and basically make it so absolutely difficult and completely unreasonable to obtain like soloing <ie.no hero's/henchies> Hell's Precipice Hard Mode ... sure why not, it would be great to see people who have no real life outside the game get something

NoXiFy · Feb 18, 2008, 08:59 PM // 20:59

I like the idea of no map travel... and mounts to compensate. It would add a whole new aspect to the game. (The only thing I would ask for is a ferry to a main port city that could be used for trading.)

Then we could have a drive-by with archers!

Anyways, mounts would suck. How the hell do I monk sitting on a turtle?

the only mount for me is a flying wild pig {which i shall name PIGASSIS} which eats wild beans and has a afterburner flaming attack

I don't want mounts in GW2, because if there's mounts, that's because there's no map travel. And map travel is epic win. kthx

End of thread imo.
