Buzzbugs.1236 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I know this would mostly only appeal to Sylvari players but I could really see my character riding this style of mount. Thus far none of the current mount skins appeal to me as a Sylvari main, so I've settled with default bunny for now :) 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzbugs.1236 Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 I would like to add, this could include Sylvari themes of other mounts. Sylvari bunny, Sylvari raptor, etc. I would choose any of those for my mount if I like the style :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlit.6421 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 While I know by this point most ppl are gonna yell at me for saying so that does t really fit with their lore though. That would mean that either sylvari hounds randomly started growing a lot bigger for no reason, or that there have always been giant ones we just never saw or the sylvari thought about riding. I suppose from an individual player perspective it could be a rare mutation or strong veteran one that grew larger than its companions but even that is a bit of a stretch. I have mixed feelings about it tbh, as I understand the thematic want for it but can't find a good enough reason to justify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pifil.5193 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 A set of sylvari themed mounts would be awesome! If the pale tree can give birth to hounds and sylvarithen why not other creatures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More variety the better!No some of the others don't as well that's true. Branded mounts in particular, and many people had a problem with them upon their release. I will say though @derd.6413 has a decent concept for a way to add them so I guess they'd be better than the branded ones in that sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zola.6197 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Would love to see something like this. Bonus points if they can add some extra fluff (flowers, leaves, etc) to them. Sort of like the caladbolg regrown skins? All leafy and glowing, butterflies swirling around it.Would look nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The branded mounts have broken any attempt at maintaining lore. I'd like to request corrupted pets for rangers as well. There's really no good reason to deny us any corrupted mounts and therefor pets. Sylvari versions of mounts and pets shouldn't be a problem.

Kal Spiro.9745 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I want a full set of race themed mounts for all the races. Fern Hound based Sylvari mounts, Golem based Asura Mounts, Spirit based Norn mounts, Steam Engine based Charr mounts, and Watchwork based Human mounts.

KindredPhoenyx.8976 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 As someone who roleplays a thorn wolf/fernhound rider, (with some improvisation) I can definitely get behind this to make it properly canon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
