Dragongal.6390 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Will we be able to use the Warclaw outside of WvW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amineo.8951 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I do like the design of this mount more than the existing ones in PvE, it's a big cat on top of it! And you can use it for combat aswell, which is something that I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felincyriac.5981 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Probably, more people will buy skins for it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aodlop.1907 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 The only two mounts you need are the griffon and the bunny. The other ones are made useless by these two so you won't use them anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keenedge.9675 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Seems like we don't even know what it's use will be. It could just be a siege device like the golem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ssenkra Bloodroot.1028 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 If I could be That Guy for a moment; I really don't think that segregation of mounts via content is the right course to take. Like the Glider, I feel that mounts should be something that's universally available regardless of what you're doing. (baring the few obvious locations where they inherently break the activity)On a side note, judging by the trailer the Warclaw seems to have the inherent ability to effectively bust open gates. Doesn't this completely invalidate the Battering Ram as a siege option? Why would i waste construction time and valuable resources to build something to deal with gates when I can simply pop out a ram from the infinite nether that is Mount storage?Is this what Siege in WvW will look like going forward? Eventually all of the things requiring resources to build will be replaced with Mounts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaralyna.3104 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I don't really play wvw and mostly pve... I don't mind they added a mount to wvw only but...Lets say you are a new player in wvw.... You will not have a mount yet (nor will the ones without pof)... I can already see it happen that this will be another mode killed coz they simply can't keep up with ppl racing on mount from point a to point b. This is already happening in pve events (see silverwastes as a great example). So in the long run, I think this move will kick even more players out of wvw. The few that just want the mount to have the mount will get it and then leave wvw anyways (and we probably see complains the mount is useless coz its not pve :P )A good start to fix wvw is balancing, the ability to actually be able to enter a map thats not full, the server riddance (which is in the works) and probably more stuff that the wvw community can input.

I’m going to guess it can be used in PvE. It doesn’t say it can’t and people using it in PvE would be a big draw to WvW to players who see it in PvE. However any special actions might be WvW only.

kharmin.7683 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 WvW players should be ecstatic to have a kitten-ton of new one-shot kill targets like me coming into their arena, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am betting the idea that these will complement, not replace, the rams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I can see that, too. Just didn't make a lot of sense to me as this WvW mount doesn't (at first glance) appear to do anything that the current PvE mounts could accomplish whereas with no mounts in WvW this one would be more useful. Guess we'll find out next week./me shrugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case rams will still be needed. This is all with a big "if" as we don't know how it will be designed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shyh.6908 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Despite so many people against warclaw, Anet I loved it, you made me cry, I imagined it so many times while I was in WvW walking around, and now it is coming true... thx thx thx <3 <3 <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueJin.4127 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I tried to get into WvW, spending 10+ hours a week when I first started to learn. Unfortunately, the toxic community filled with petulant and whiny juveniles who demand new players be born with WvW knowledge (because they were, apparently) turned me off. If this mount is usable in PVE, hopefully, this isn’t too grindy to obtain for players who don’t care for WvW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutOfOrder.3719 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 This sounds fantastic. I remember when gliding was added to WvW and how much more fun the game mode became from one simple addition.WvW gets plenty of love and attention, in comparison to PvP.

maddoctor.2738 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I suspect we'll get it from a reward track but they will also add WvW abilities tied to it (only available in WvW of course)I wonder what kind of abilities those are going to be.
