Pyriel.4370 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 This game has such potential for mounts so thought it’d be fun to throw about some ideas (can’t find another thread for this). I’ll go first. Mount: Gecko/Chameleon Type: Wall Crawling Special Skill: Stealth Attack skill: Single pull for distanced target (tongue ranged pull). Implementation: Could be implemented in an underground or old Kaineng area where it’s a bit too cagey for flying mounts. Could hide secrets in places that are impossible for other mounts to reach. 7 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure tbf, perhaps a longer/channeled stealth or bundle it with a movement buff to make it preferable. Was just an idea to get the ball rolling anywho 🙂 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farohna.6247 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I feel like the sticky lizard has been brought up before, since I commented that itsounds like one of the creatures out of ARK with that set of abilities. Can't find the thread, but here's one from last year where ideas were beat about. Most ideas are covered by the current mounts. The rest would make good skins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 The wall climbing idea has been brought up many times for a gecko or spider mount (the latter was scrapped at concept). I’m not against the idea at all if they can make it work, but it would need to: a) Have a legitimate reason to exist. Whilst I love my turtle, it’s lacked a use until the latest map b) Not make another mount redundant. We can can already high jump (springer) and fly and partially wall hop (skyscale) If it compliments gameplay well enough then I support the idea. If it’s just a gimmick addition for coolness, I think it’s not worth it. Too many additions recently have been just for the sake of it already 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freya.9075 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Longcharr mount. Skill: using it as a ladder to reach places. And create bridges over chasms. And you can adjust the length of them by using their tail as a hand crank while the long long man song plays. 2 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobx.1758 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Stealth special skill is already available on every mount through mastery. Ability to walk on the walls was proposed in the past and I still don't like it. New mounts though? Why not, as long as they're not really forced just to be addition for the sake of addition or to power creep previous mounts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EphemeralWallaby.7643 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) Mount: your character becomes the mount. Instead of getting on a mount, your mini gets on your shoulders, head, is carried overhead, or your backpiece is replaced by one of those toddler carriers that it rides in. Special skill: superspeed. You just run really fast, w/ no special jumps or movements. Special attack: taunt. The dismount action then causes your mini to jump down, taunt all nearby enemies (same radius as raptor pull), and run a short distance away from you before disappearing and returning to your side as a normal non-interactive mini. Implementation: probably slowly over time given how many minis there are. It's likely unrealistic due to sheer numbers, but I don't care. Just take a moment to enjoy imagining the Mini Festive Lord Faren being chased by a hydra or a cluster of skritt. ~EpWa Edited March 21, 2023 by EphemeralWallaby.7643 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eekasqueak.7850 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 If they do another siege mount junundu worms could be fun. Maybe able to burrow through certain obstacles. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batel.9206 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) Horse mount. It has no real abilities and provides a running speed somewhat slower than the jackal or raptor (so, basically the warclaw in PVE). It's purely for show or RP, but dang it I would really like a horse. 😢 Edited March 21, 2023 by Batel.9206 2 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reborn.1738 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I don't think we need new mounts. But new masteries or abilities on existing mounts? That I can get behind. Skimmer - already got the underwater upgrade. Could pursue underwater abilities further if Anet ever remember they have underwater systems Springer - Maybe some kind of kick ability to smash through big rocks? Jackal - Dig up buried treasure? I would say something like a sense ability but I guess there's that Jade Bot skill now Raptor? Maybe it could get a climb ability with it's powerful claws? Scale certain walls and inclines by digging in with it's talons Siege Turtle - Lean in to it's unique combat abilities. Give it some support specialisations. New abilities that let it toss out some boons, heals, barriers to players. And give the driver a weapon. And then we have all of those forgotten masteries from previous expansions that could be incorporated into the game better. Oakheart's Reach - Offer another way to train this so newer players don't have to level up 5 Ancient Magics. Then they could add these to newer maps and design around them Bouncing Mushrooms - Largely superceded by the Springer, but always fun to use. Add more bounce pads to navigate maps. Gliding? Yes, gliders are given to EoD players now. But I don't think there are many/any updrafts used in the newer maps? Updrafts and lean gliding are fun, they could be used more. Honestly the only new mount I think could be good is a social mount. a full party mount. Maybe one that could fly? And we already have a "social" mount in the Skiff. Might be a far out idea, but give the Skiff a mastery so that it could "fly" like a light airship. Some Jade Tech/Aetherblade/Asuran tech upgrade to the engine idk. Then you have a 5 person flying mount, without adding more mount bloat. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren’t their “horses” two skritts in a costume? You can see their feet under the robe/cloak thing. I would pay big gold to see a charr or norn male ride on one of those though 👀 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kestrell.6952 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Despite wanting anet to tone down the neon strobe light cosmetics a smidge I admit I still want a unicorn mount that craps rainbows nyan-cat style that matches the Dreamer. 1 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetbread.3678 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) I just want the ability to aerial mount the Siege Turtle and power slam from the top of the skybox for 50k damage. Or give the Roller Beetle a grappling hook like Wrecking Ball from Overwatch. Edited July 25, 2023 by Sweetbread.3678 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
