DoLoR.7568 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 The fact that we got only warclaw in wvw i think its too simple, while other game modes get to enjoy their mounts. I know it has to do with balance, but how about adding jackal in wvw and make it with 2 dodges and same functionality as warclaw. You basically adding more fun in wvw and diversity. Plus there aren’t that many warclaw options anyways. So everybody is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GewRoo.4172 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 How is there even diversity in having mounts? In my opinion all the introduction of mounts did was a) giving players the chance to avoid fighting on small scale by running and dodging with mountb) if engaging possibly forcing the enemy to burn cooldowns bc of second health barc) baiting an enemies dodge or evade when joining a fightd) maybe (!) moving a little bit faster on mape) flexing with shiny skins (i am fine with that) That was not even a desirable development imho. If your new mount has the "same functionality" this will not add anything of importance or relevance. No diversity imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoLoR.7568 Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 You can have for example jackal mount having the same running speed and same dodges, but maybe add different skills, maybe instead of maul you add a support skill when you dismount, mounts help you to move around the map and makes the game more interesting, with the warclaw arrow you can easily dismount someone if you do it right, but having only one mount for me its too simple. You can definitely add new things that will make the game more fun. I like the fact that warclaw has some skills that you can use in wvw. Add jackal as a support mount.

Well, that maybe would be a step in the right direction although I think mounts were and still are a terrible feature. I don't know how to feel about this honestly since I'm under the impression giving mounts even more importance by actually making them useful in terms of strategy and (supportive) gameplay would give small scale groups and roaming an even harder time.

ArchonWing.9480 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I want an underwater mount because we all know how awesome underwater combat is. :open_mouth:But only make it exclusive to WvW kek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonSeed.3528 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 You should rely on your builds instead of your mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamikharzeeh.8016 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 warclaw alone is nearly useless. i see zero reason for another fake-content mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solanum.6983 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 As much As I'd love to shoot a Skyscale from the sky or dive into battle on a Griffon, adding more mounts would require a lot of balance and reworks of the maps. Considering the amount of attention WvW gets It's safe to say that this would never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
