We need more enemies with mounts

[XenMaster.7165]

Seriously, i only see maguuma jungle enemies riding their own dinosaur to fight. We need to see Asura riding bipedal golem as group event bosses. Or bandit desert riding raptors.

Raptor jousting should be a thing.

Make it happen anet.

They are really cool, I must say.  And they charge from so far away sometimes when you get multiple of them coming from different directions while fighting other enemies things can get pretty hectic!  I like it!  More please!

Having seen the effect of a WvW zerg using their dismount attack on a camp boss I can imagine the effect of a half dozen, or more, npc mobs charging in to use the raptor dismount attack on a grohp of players doing an open world event. It would be amazing.

I thought of two things initially when I saw this:

1.  The complaints about increased difficulty would go through the roof…. Especially if they had some level of difficulty that HoT has

2.  There IS a place with more enemies on mounts…..  WvW.  🙂

That is a really cool (and currently underused) idea.  

I'm sure I will regret saying this at some point after getting killed my annoying mounted enemies!

Although I think there's potential for interesting creativity here, personally I hate dealing with the mordrem cavalry. And I think for it to truly be interesting and not just enemies having an annoying advantage, they would have to either revamp mounts to make them more of an active combat use or make a mount specifically for that so you have a counter*. Especially when they have breakbars so you can't easily root, you spend half the fight chasing the cavalry around or getting knocked about by them because of weird camera angles and difficulty seeing them coming.

*siege turtle is sort of this, but it's slow and once you're out of HP, you're done unless you can run out of combat

An enemy, simple rifleman human with raptor (non veteran) doesnt have to be with big breakbar like mordrem with too many dodge. Like bruh we have tamini centaurs they are just simple npc without over complicated skills.
