Gah I want a mount damnit! With sweet animations that let me attack on it with a small % reduction in damage.

Different mounts for different classes. Like a panther for ranger... a horse for a warrior... a small young boy for the mon... i mean whatever.

It would be cool! >.<

So go play WoW.

Or go hang yourself with your keyboard cord. This was already discussed, and the general population already said no. We don't need them, we can teleport instantly.

And a Ranger could not ride a panther. The size doesn't make sense.

there's nothing wrong with mounts..........it would just add another exciting aspect to the game..........since the developers are so concerned regarding the balance of the game.......mounts should be given no special attributes or just create an area of the game where EVERYONE has to have mounts.

Most people seem to want mounts in the game, they all expect to see mounts in a future release and are to lazy to post here.Then the people that dont want mounts come here to make sure they down get mounts.

Every mission i go on with people, I asked them if they would want mounts to be added, 1 out of 10 of them said yes.

Teleporting is very useful but it takes about 1 hour just to do a mission, mounts would be faster because I don't like going to a area and then realizing I was supposed to go to another spot, and i have to go all the way back and around, 15 min wasted of my time.

I remember doing a quest in ascalon that required me to walk very far north to meet some dude and then walk all the way back because he has to follow you.Then when i get back they ask me to get another guy that was hiding further off that spot.So I had to walk all the way, back and then get him to follow me to ascalon.
2 hours just for a 500 exp quest!

Teleporting only gets u between old towns, it takes a long time to get to new ones at higher levels.

I agree fully! why would somebody say "no" to mounts? You don't use them in PvP but that doesn't mean that having them in PvE will take anything out of PvE. I think it's a fantastic idea that will add to the realism and fun of the game world.

relientK_fan · May 24, 2005, 04:01 AM // 04:01

Yes! Give us mounts for fast travel through areas! I hate walking through North kryta Province! It's freaking huge! With a mount, it would make farming easier, as well as quests quicker.

DrSLUGFly · May 24, 2005, 04:07 AM // 04:07

I want it partially for fast travel... but man, when you're fighting a mounted enemy... it just looks so damn cool! I"m still puzzled how people could say "no" to mounts though... I mean, wtf, don't ride em if you don't like em. Nobody makes you get in a car now.

Lol, well said, well said. I don't see how either. It would be cool. Lets go make a petition for them!

SOT · May 24, 2005, 04:34 AM // 04:34

if mounts got me some kind attack bonus, or let me use less energy on spells, I would welcome it with open armor (har har har).

If it was merely because I would look uber leet with my lvl 8 domesticated Strider...I'll pass

Masut · May 24, 2005, 06:34 AM // 06:34

Mount's are not a good idea for GuildWars. The environment is too restrictive. If you want faster travel, I suggest you start complaining about the number of useless low level mobs in the game which cause constant delays.

Rushing Wind · May 24, 2005, 08:39 AM // 08:39

Mounts? Why? All they'll be is a nuisance and it really isn't going to help anything. Balance is what devs wanted and no amount of petitioning is going to bring them in. Instancing is there for a reason and the game is great just the way its played.

Thats because GW doesn't have the same races as every other MMO that can't compete. If you want mounts, cars or whatever else please petition to make little gnomes too so they can come up with super ridiculous ideas in their races to make things so much better for GW. C'mon... the game you wanna be playing came out last November. Go ride your mounts all you want.

okay... new question. How could the presence of non-combative mounts damage the gaming experience? Why is it that there are always people who fear something different being put in if it doesn't add to the numbers? Why aren't these people playing table-top DnD where graphics and sounds don't get in the way and interfere with the number-crunching experience?

Ironsword · May 24, 2005, 09:04 AM // 09:04

I would appreciate a mount myself the stone summit have them and a few others i can't think of right now it's not such a stretch and if they don't change the combat in any way why not have them the only thing it would change is the graphics

If mounts make you move faster, doesn't that nullify the purpose of haste enchantments/stances/shouts, as well as nullify the purpose of slow hexes? If it causes player models to be larger than they are, it casuses problems with bodyblocking and clipping. If they don't affect these things at all, then you're just asking for something purely cosmetic for the purpose of riding a Ferrari into battle. Most people seem to want the speed. My answer to them: learn "Charge!"

DrSLUGFly · May 24, 2005, 11:38 AM // 11:38

That's what I mean... okay, it changes the speed and that would be necessary since a mount that can only go as fast as a person is retarded. But I want a mount not for the speed (that's a bonus) nor for the attack advantage (again just a bonus). No, I want one because this is a fantasy game and what fantasy situation have you ever heard of... or even what life situation have you ever heard of, where people don't ride in or on things? I just want it because it would add coolness to the game.

Apologies on my rudeness in my previous post... but this idea just seems so common sense that I was surprised when I first learned it wasn't already in.

Castanza · May 24, 2005, 12:02 PM // 12:02

i think mounts would be a very good idea, as long as they didn't offer any other purpose than to just look cool, yeah i'm sure it would be nice to be able to move a little faster, but really the best thing about them is that it looks really cool to have it. It's all about spending money and since money is pretty easy to come by in this game i don't see why we can't have more stuff to spend it on. I mean come on this game is set during medeveal times, it just makes sense to have people riding horses (and i think that right now the only mount should be a horse since that's the only thing that makes sense with humans).

I agree, we need more stuff to spend it on, I got a level 20 rp character with armor at its highest and a pretty good weapon, now i just run around doing missions.I get lots of gold but I have nothing to spend it on.Houses would be awesome to spend some money on, for improving it, and buying lots of good furniture.

Mounts will probobly cost lots of gold if they're ever implanted, depending on their stats.Mounts = More money to spend!

I think more people would be glad to have mounts in the game than not have any at all.
