MithranArkanere.8957 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Now, before we start:This is NOT a discussion about whether mounts should be added or not. Please leave that for other threads.In this post I'd like to see what would you prefer them to be in WvW in the case of an inevitable introduction. I've been thinking of the possibilities and I've reduced them down to different combinations of 3 different choices:SpeedFast: Mounts run as fast as in PvE (whether this takes a WvW skill rank or not)Normal : Their speed is only as fast as swiftness.PowersYes: They can use their powers, but only within controlled territories.No: Mounts are only speed boost.Constraints: Everywhere: Mounts can be used outside controlled territories.Territories : Mounts can't be used outside controlled territories.These choices would be once their abilities are maxed. They could start having slower speeds, no jump abilities, etc, but gradually get them as their ability tracks are maxed, or not.I am going to leave out the engage ability to reduce the number of combinations since they are the least concern as skills can be balanced separately for WvW and can only be used to start fights.So, if mounts were inevitable, after their WvW abilities have been maxed, what combination of these 3 choices you prefer to be the end result for mounts?

Shirlias.8104 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I'd say swiftness, no movement skills and not outside controlled territories... but the would be meaningless, and just more lag.I do really hope Mounts remain only in pve for mounts lovers.

devastoscz.9851 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Mounts shouldnt be added at all. We already have enough server lag and visual clutter without having mounts involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabari.7026 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Mounts would make WvW very unbalanced since it will be harder for ppl to run away from blobs if stuck in combat. Not to mention the maps are quite small so all the defense tactics will be more or less pointless. If mounts would to be added they need to revamp WvW, and don't see that happening anytime soon since DBL backfired quite hard in the wvw community. I don't know a single core wvw player that likes the DBL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeolus.3615 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I would not like the pve mount to be added to WvW.But instead several vehicles to be builted and maned like the golems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a bunch of bunnies from PvE would be humorous but the mechanics of the map don't support them being able to jump over walls (for attack or defense).But having vehicles using the mounts code is more thematic to this game mode. Won't fix the issues of Maps not being designed around this still...gliding was added anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friday.9078 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 You left out one option:O No mounts in WvW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeolus.3615 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Glidding is a diferent mechanic, the bunnis are ment to help on the pve enviroment, wich we already have alot of speen boon and passive speed on WvW.I would rather they use the manpower to change other things on WvW and then see if possible to add new tools.The charr vehicles would be a nice adition, and remove the transmogrifers. (castles unlocking new constructibles to be builted) that would make guilds aply for something and defend it at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MithranArkanere.8957 Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Look like i have to edit the first post to make it even more clear, or we'll end up having to report a bunch of people for "Off-Topic / Spamming / Trolling / Derailing / Nonconstructive Posts ".

TheWolf.1602 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Other. If mounts are added, they should be WvW-only and with tactical use instead of a get-back-to-the-zerg gimmick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oglaf.1074 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 They should only be used as a speedboost. No special abilities, movement or combat.Something to make everyone simply move about equally - without affecting combat itself too much - has been needed since day one of WvW.

If mounts are added, they should be WvW-only and with tactical use instead of a get-back-to-the-zerg gimmickWe actually got that in a way with Siege Golems, Assault Rollers and Mecha Siege Devourers, but they do not show your character riding them, so not everyone considers them "mounts", even though they technically are, just like the Siege Devourer and the Junundu were in GW1.

Eudaimonia.8695 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Mounts should stay in PvE. They have a purpose there, and in WvW they don't.Besides, we already have enough cowards escaping from fights with gliders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oglaf.1074 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Mounts should definitely be added to WvW to break things up. Imagine the build variety when Thieves are no longer forced to lug a Shortbow around, and Warriors may be allowed to finally use something other than a Greatsword!

DemonSeed.3528 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 If they are to be added, then add it only as a visual thing like tonics. No swiftness, no jumps, no nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeceiverX.8361 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Just swiftness in controlled territories, or preferably: Not at all.Gliding already gave us enough problems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castleguard.2498 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Just allow baseline Raptor mount (that everyone can get with near zero effort), disable the leap. Solves travel issues (dramatic differences in long-distance mobility between classes) without really effecting combat related mobility (where class flavor plays in), availability, and helps mitigate pigeonholing many classes into specific builds/weapon sets and lets people focus on combat flavor.

GutterRat.1269 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I don't want them in WvW, but if you absolutely had to have them, I'd prefer their movement speed was equal, at maximum, to baseline walking speed (no swiftness, no movement speed bonus), with no jumping abilities, and no tactical advantage. Unable to use in combat. You want to prance around in one as if this were PvE, fine, but there should be no advantage over people who didn't buy this expansion that offers nothing for WvW players but more brainless condi.
