Mounts!!!! Your thoughts?

[Tukaram.8256]

I was always surprised there were not mounts to begin with. I started online gaming with Ultima Online, in 1997. It amused me that GW2 got wings before mounts. Mounts are a great way to get around. They can be a fun addition, but I hope they do not end up being a requirement.

They said from beginning that this game will have NO MOUNTS!And now they are here....I'm a old GW1 player and i'm a bit dissapointed

I wish people would stop saying this. Anet NEVER said there would be no mounts. They only said there would be no mounts at this time.

Never missed mounts in this game but why not. Certainly seems to make everyone happy and will also be a good way to make extra money once they start selling mount skins and the likes.

@Blockhead Magee.3092 said:I think mounts are a bad idea. GW2 is becoming less unique by this move. The WP system is far superior and watering it down with the addition of screen clutter is disheartening. I wish they had used their development time for something else - anything else.

Using WPs as a primary form of getting around a specific map wasn't unique either, and actually means people see less due to just porting around and seeing loading screens. GW2s mount system is different than how it's done in other games, it's actually going take me a bit to adjust to how mounts turn, where as the WP system is... well... the same as every other WP system.

It's understandable if you just don't like mounts, but uniqueness as an argument not to won't make sense. I personally had been indifferent, made no difference if they were added or not, although, since they are adding them I just hope they do a good job with supporting mounts in the future with good quality alternate appearances.

I love the work put into making the mounts have personality and charm. I love the way the raptor looks in game and that it doesn't look out of place. I am concerned that people will find a way to be obnoxious and troll others with them, like in other games I refuse to mention the name of. No dragon mounts pretty please.

Get used to it, random people will abuse the Thumb Down button.

I wouldn't get bent out of shape for down votes. They don't do anything and are almost like a badge of honor having an unpopular opinion.

Indifferent.Could have done without like before.I don't mind them. Hopefully they don't feel too cheap in the end.The hidden areas and yes for them have to feel good and be plentifull.

I don't see them as organic then the gliders at the moment.

[mulzi.8273]

I did not get a chance to test mounts during the beta weekend, but if you are on a mount and get hit by a mob, do you immediately dismount? For example, when the mobs in the new zones can throw rocks at gliders and you immediately fall to the ground.
