Should mounts be added to wvw ?

DeeSystm.1256 · December 1, 2017

YeSame rules as gliding, remove combat skills, just use them for mobility on allied territory. E z p z

and instead of little chaos what have wvw be the same boring mode it is forever ?

You somehow think adding mounts will change the game for the better lol? All it will lead to is more lag and players like yourself that want to run from fights. Hell to the no, if you can't handle the heat then stick with your zerg. If you want to play with your mount you can do it fucking anywhere but WvW and you still whine.

Turk.5460 · December 1, 2017

Absolutely not. Gliding is one thing, it doesn't increase your speed beyond swiftness levels.

A lot of people don't realize that balance that would come with something like this is having the mount have a 5-10second cast time. They are not going to be able to cowardly flee away instantly like they are asking to...

Ulion.5476 · December 1, 2017

If mounts were added to the game A-net would have to rebalance alot of things in wvw. All walls/gates/camp guards should have low Hp because of how fast everyone would be able to response. Seige would need a anti siege damage buff. Then you would have to look into balancing the dismount attack and exploits with the mounts natural skills. Roamers are already have issues with players being able to disengage from fights but with mounts that would make some classes stupidly OP. Imagine a glassy thief he fails to burst you the first time so he run, stealth and mount up to get away. Mounts are a good idea but A-net would have to re-balance most of wvw around them.

Hynoris.3684 · December 1, 2017

Nope, at least not for now, WvW got enough problems as it is.

But I have no problem in putting mounts on the Edge of the Mists to see how they fare in a pvp environment and let's be honest who goes there nowadays?The EoTm is more desertic than the desert borderlands at least with mounts you breathe some life on it and please make it usable anywhere.(yes I know the implications)

MarkoNS.3261 · December 1, 2017

well the simple thing is i payed for the expansion and it includes mounts so i should be able to use them in wvw a pve knockoff mode anyway.

Made in China.

kash.9213 · December 2, 2017

No. If there were an open world pvp mode it would be fine there but WvW is a large contained arena match and mounts would just be more clutter than convenience.

Blude.6812 · December 2, 2017

Just wnat to get some where fast to get a daily when the PvE daily are crap.

X T D.6458 · December 2, 2017

Isn't there enough lag already?

exactly no other use in wvw anyway.

DemonSeed.3528 · December 2, 2017

So apart from the reasons you outlined in your original post, you think it would be good to implement mounts so you can do your dailies?

Yep. He finds the mode boring.

Dreamy Lu.3865 · December 2, 2017

From my side, this is a strong no.

Two main reasons:

Don't forget that mounts are not equally appreciated. Me as an example, I enjoy them, but not for everything and not all the time. There are several reasons why. No need to start a list. But I can explain my biggest trouble: I keep suffering motion sickness at using skill 1 and at dismounting. If mounts would be added to WvW, all players would be forced to use them to be able to follow and for me, that would be bad, even more knowing how much WvW need to move around within small zones... I would not like it and probably not cope long.
I do not know for all of you, but me, I am regularly disturbed by the huge backpacks, huge gliders and diverse effects from all players bliding path and actions to others. If mounts would be added... That would go out of limits.

BUHHHHHH!

Sovereign.1093 · December 2, 2017

yes, leap over walls time. =)

Lahmia.2193 · December 2, 2017

No in their current state. But adding something like a wvw specific dolyak that is only a speed increase wouldn't be too harmful. However make them only available in borderlands if so. Lag is already too much in EBG as people have said.

archie.3074 · December 2, 2017

I go for maybe as it all depends on what ANet would do. However, I would say yes for 6th kind of mount, exclusive for WvW. The mount would offer 33% movement speed buff, no extra skills and animation should be limited to something simple to avoid unnecessary frame consumption (can't imagine 30+ people in zerg riding griffons). HP should be kept at as low as 100 to get dismounted once we get attacked so if we want to keep 33% of extra speed we would still need to use own buffs/skills. That would let us use our weapon/utility skills straight away without manual dismounting.I believe there would need to be more to think about, but that's how I see the scratch in general.

Strider Pj.2193 · December 2, 2017

Yes to mounts if all movement speed buffs individual classes had increased to 50% movement speed. Mounts can stay at 25%

CrusaderMichael.9245 · December 4, 2017

Just Raptor.No dismount damage.And probably delay the "able to mount after aggro" a lot, so you can't just get on your mount after a fight and leap to fleeing enemy heads (who can't mount cuz they are being pecked at by a few guys).

@MarkoNS.3261 said:Here is my 2 cents wvw has large maps that are not fast at all to traverse on foot and it has alot of players who like to stalk others, so mounts would help negate these 2 things and honestly i bought the expansion so i can play with my mounts and i want that option in wvw as well, you added gliding right time to add mounts as well.

The stalkers will also have mounts too... and since they can instantly mount won't be hard to chase after you still, if mounts had a cast time to them then you'd have a point there.

Waypoints are used to quickly get to further parts of the map, they are an important design of the wvw maps, important for defenders to build and defend, important for attackers to take away and take advantage of on building their own. Emergency waypoints already destroyed some of that importance, now if you add in mounts you'll pretty much make take away the last remaining importance of a keep.

Gliders were added at the end of HoT expansion, I expect the same will happen with PoF.

usnedward.9023 · December 4, 2017

No as it leaves out those without PoF who just wanna WvW. Same goes for gliding but that got put in. Maybe because it forces people to buy HoT for the gliding if they ant it and ANET will do the same for PoF. But eh...I own it all but just think mounts would be too much. Hard to argue about making money though.

Please, uninstall this game.

Fade.5904 · December 5, 2017

I think they could add mounts to EoTM and Desert Borderlands and it might even improve the maps but i think Alpine and EB are just to small.No huge mount battles in SM please (unless they make the maps much bigger)
