Why do we have teleporting? Yes, it makes things alot faster but isn't very realistic(even though this isn't a very realistic game ).Maybe a movie of you in a boat or riding to your destination?

Why not just get rid of the teleporting? It seems to be the main reason people don't want mounts, other then using up the devs time.
So maybe a expansion pack for mounts?

I know the mounts have been discussed many, many, times before but consider a expansion pack.

Another idea would be to get rid of the zone loading, it would be more fun to walk into town then to wait 5 min. instead have all your waiting time when you start up the game.

the idea is to make it easier to get from place to place..if you want that super riding tiger and boat rides i hear wow has them

besides if you want to take the long way and enjoy the scenery you can run the entire way stopping to admire the scenery as you go

Heh, I would have gone with WoW if it wasn't so expensive, with the p2p.

Well, a couple times I have gone the wrong way in the missions, it took me about 5 min. to get to the right path, the time could have been split in half if they implanted mounts.

Mounts not only look cool

but also give alot of combat stragey.

I just don't like the teleporting system, it's to simple.

People like teleporting, so it's staying.

If you don't like it then don't use it, problem solved. Hurray!

And zone loading for me takes about 5 seconds which is well worth the lack of lag.

Is it just me or are a lot of threads starting t sound like
"Please make this WoW without the monthly fee."

I don't mean to flame you, even though I know I have, but It's more than just you. WoW is a different game. If you want whats in it, please, play the fees. $15 a month is three packs of smokes, or not even a pizza. Really not that bad.

GW uses the teleport system cut down on long pointless travelling times. That way, when it's time, for example, for a guild to do a gvg match, it'll be easy to get it started, instead of having to wait 5 hours before your team can get there.

From what I understand, there's a bigger emphasis on playing with your guild, and pvp than just travelling around by yourself and levelling up. Mounts would be cool and all, but teleporting is very important for the PvP aspect of it.

Best
Solution
Ever.

Now- can we please stop talking about taking teleporting out of the game. IF you don't like it... walk. Let me teleport, as I have things to do and places to be.

...adding mounts would mean longer loading times between areas to throw in the graphics for the mounts...unwanted... it would mean you would either have to buy them or everyone has them...therefore making it unfair to either ppl without money or making everyone too much alike... then theres the aspect of making armor for it...more time wasted... and then does the mount die when you do, and if so, wouldnt it take 2 resurects instead of one...personally i think this is out of the question, guildwars was designed around pvp AND rpg, therefore a few things must be sacrificed, and honestly i like it more like it is now...go buy WoW if you want this but in my opinion, its a waste of arena nets time, money, and everyone elses as well

speedtouch · Apr 22, 2005, 09:31 PM // 21:31

It's kinda hard for a 13 your old to get the money for Wow in Canadain prices.

Also I don't think it will take 5 hours for your guild to get your guild hall because you can easily take a boat.
10 min tops

I agree with bob that getting rid of zones would cause alot more lagg then loading them, but 5 sec? Thats pretty good, what was the kb per sec?

I give up on arguing with the teleporting system, its unbeatable

I hope they do add mounts in the expansion

the guild hall is on the guildmembers maps to teleport to any time they want to.

speedtouch · Apr 22, 2005, 09:38 PM // 21:38

I mean if they didnt have teleporting, you could take a boat ( if they implant it).

Sgt Allen · Apr 22, 2005, 09:40 PM // 21:40

mounts would also mean being able to outrun 90% of the monsters...therefore making fighting at all pointless, just run past everthing to the nest 50 towns, then u can go back later...this game was made to fight and enjoy it...the end

speedtouch · Apr 22, 2005, 09:54 PM // 21:54

Well, in some missions you have to kill the boss, and what do people get from not fighting? NOTHING

Sgt Allen · Apr 22, 2005, 10:01 PM // 22:01

think of this, mounts would reduce accuracy for archers, and damage for warriors, u cant use a hammer...and a shield would be useless due to its on the opposite side of you, you have limited manuverability, slow turning, and accelerationof the mount would have to be thrown in.. your in way over your head man, this is a waste of time even argueing

Weezer_Blue · Apr 22, 2005, 10:05 PM // 22:05

okay, you can spend 6 hours every time you want to go from Lions Arch to Ascalon or back. I'm going to use the teleport feature.

What do you mean by limited manuverbaility?If your a good rider you could turn, and move pretty fast.
Also, these reduction will decrease the amount of people that want to use them, especially if their expensive.That means less lagg because not everyone will have one.

BTW you coul also use them as a damage taker.

This is seriously lacking logic on why they should even consider mounts in the game. They would make PvE pretty useless and a lot easier than the teleport system. And mounts in missions would be like saying to the design team "good work, too bad I don't care." I hope they never add mounts. Appreciate what you have and please stop trying to make the game a cheap clone of other games.

lllCo2lll · Apr 22, 2005, 10:13 PM // 22:13

Well I'm fine with the way things are, but maybe future chapters there could be some sort of way to input mounts. Seriously though at this moment it would unbalance the way things are to add mounts

Also on a side note if they just add mounts right away with no uses what so ever, but to look cool... would kinda feel as if it was just tacked on, and yeah...

Loviatar · Apr 22, 2005, 10:17 PM // 22:17

and since they would disappear like the rangers pets when you are with other people in town to cut down on the graphics load who would you show them off to anyway

speedtouch · Apr 22, 2005, 10:47 PM // 22:47

How about being able to ride your ranger pets?That would save alot of work, and the pet would have to be level 15 or higher or something.

Animal abuse. Plus would unbalance the professions far too much.

Though seeing a whole team of people on warthogs does have its own appeal...
