Is it that problematic for players to have to fight an opponent that can only run away or jump around in circles?If that circle is a capture circle then yes.There are still three dodges. And if someone can’t use those judiciously, on their way back to a Zerg, then that’s on them.So you're saying the dismount skill can be dodged? Because I've seen nothing from ANET to indicate this. Please point me to that information.I would not know if it can be dodged. But let me ask you how many skills are there that are un-dodge-able?https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/DodgeTLDR: only three CC effects can prevent dodges. But the skills that apply them are dodgable.Considering this, I would have no reason to suspect that the mount wouldn’t be able to dodge said dismount skill.And for now, the mount cannot be CC’d.That's very interesting. I hope that is what ANET is planning, as I think if they want to introduce counterplay to mounts (dismount ability) then that too should have counterplay via dodging.Agreed. Those that are upset about the mount being ‘nerfed’ need to remember that the mount introduction itself was a huge hit to a particular play style and while most people would agree that play style could be considered, let’s just say ‘toxic’, it was a play style that people enjoyed.The mounts abilities led to some likely unintended consequences (as it’s abilities have been adjusted) which is being brought back into what is considered to be a somewhat tenable compromise.The mount will still give speed and dodges allowing people to get back to the Zerg faster and safer than before the mount, but it won’t be a ‘free pass’, Not enjoyed by the poor soul on the receiving end of it!Give me a PvP game where it is a very enjoyable experience to die.I tought there might be a WoD Vampire MMO once upon a time...

I noticed the jump off dismount change affected pve too. Well.... it is a WvW Mount. That’s likely why the coding carries over to keep it different and thus, easier to code changes.And... it’s a WvW Mount. Honestly, it offers nothing to PvE minus a skin. All the mounts are fundamentally the same. Warclaw can't be CC'd because the pve mounts it's cloned from have their own special "freedom of movement" rulesetho wait they didnt plan to put mount in WvW at the start of developping PoF? LULI don't think most of Anet thinks about WvW at all. We're a sideshow and I'm glad anyone on staff cares or notices us. Doing so likely takes them far from the company spotlight.

There may be more than one bug that causes this, but we think we're getting the most egregious one. - Done 3/26We're going to remove the jump on dismount. It's one of the biggest things used to bypass walls/gates and it was faster to remove the jump rather than try to fix each of those individually. - Partially Done 3/26 - We know there are several other bugs that allow people to get a similar effect to the automatic jump on dismount. It's so far been a hard bug to crack, but we're working on it.~~ Fix to the sitting in box achievement areas so you can mount up in them.~~ - Done 3/26Mounts will no longer be able to be stealthed. We felt mounts provide enough value without stealth and, as many have noticed, there were several visual bugs with stealth involved. - Done 3/26We know there are still several areas people can break in to keeps/towers or otherwise get to places you shouldn't be able to. If you find one, please don't post them on the forums. You are welcome to send them to me in a PM here or discord. We'll be fixing these as we find them. Many will probably be able to be fixed whenever we find a fix for the other ways to jump upon dismount.Adding a 5 second recharge on the Warclaw Mount skill if you're dismounted for any reason.

Malavian.4695 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 The break bar option would be interesting if applied to siege in general. I've often questioned how easy it is to pull users off siege. However, that would likely go awry with something as mobile as a mount. If you think about it, it flies in the face of physics as well to some degree. It's always easier to dismount a moving target versus a static one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazyDaisy.4107 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I'm not sure it's been mentioned, but in reference to spec bugs as a result of dismounting, merged Soulbeasts occasional dismount with a stowed pet instead of a Merged or Unmerged one.

Boris De Pig.7258 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 OK, so on the 'we know there are places you can jump into towers etc.' one... How do we report players that are abusing this, or do we just take the hit and not bother trying to defend/upgrade certain objectives? I had an entertaining conversation with someone that I watched do this today and as far as they're concerned, it's fine until Anet fix it so we just have to put up with it.Is this really the case?

DemonSeed.3528 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Just reposting this here to readd points:There are inherent problems with the mount. Immune to CC (by far one of the biggest problems)10k Hp Buffer (there is no need for an hp buffer, if anything allow to buffer/absorb only 1 hit from anything before getting dismounted) When this is changed, mounts can be reverted to contest points as they will not really present a problem any longer)3 dodges (this needs to be set to 1 by default, and with a max of 2 when traited in mastery. Not 3)Able to get into towers/keeps via terrain (this will be a constant problem with no fix until they patch the way dismount works - I rather they don't mutilate terrain visually)Able to easily perma contest keeps, no need for stealth (just run up to a keep and laugh as the guards do nothing to you while you contest. Quickly make your exit and return in 2-3m to rinse and repeat).Skill 1 is still very buggy, sometimes it will go off cooldown and you cannot dismount due to anything like small bumps etc that put the skill on cooldown and you have to use your mount/dismount key that you set in hotkeysOne of the other bigger problems NO ONE ever brings up about mounts are one shots using mounts. Yes, one shots using mounts. Many classes can do this, here is one example, you will see it being used a few times in this video: There was also another video of a thief using it but the video was deleted already, as you can guess it was done via assassin signet etc. This is not something exclusive to thief or soulbeast, just use your imagination and you'll know that other classes can do it as well. Even though the video I have shown here is during NDS week, it was always possible to do so since the release of the mount and not once has it ever been brought up. [Please do not bring up OPness of sbeast, that is for another thread that you can post this video to].There is a lot of work that needs to be done on the warclaw still, no bones about it.The only thing I can agree with the usage of the mount for now, is only speed set to perma swiftness speed of what a player can achieve with their class in any territory. Sniff is actually alright and quite balanced, I use this skill quite often. The chain pull should be repurposed into the dismount skill , and skill 1 should be kept as the stomp. There still needs to be methods for melee users and also non-pof owners to dismount mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a much simpler way to do this - just let mounts be CCd and apply a special mount stab boon that when depleted (2 or 3 stacks maybe) makes the mount dismount.

If the mount can be CC'd then it gives you a short time window to burst it down, problem is you still have to burst the mount down and depending on the CC duration/the power of your burst it may be not enough. I'm not even considering dismounting by CC alone unless you have multiple people because dealing with 2-3 stacks of pulsing stab can be pretty hard (can be compared to trying to CC a warrior in balanced stance lol good luck).I'd rather see the breakbar system implemented. Should be easier (everything needed already exists) and is a lot more straightforward. 1 hard CC = no mount. Multiple soft/"condi"-CCs = no mount in a couple seconds.

I think a fairly weak breakbar is fine. Maybe make it hard enough so it survives the weak .25s dazes (that work more like interrupts anyways) but gets broken by any hard CC that lasts 1.5s and longer.

Loosmaster.8263 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 No matter what they do to make changes to dismount a player, they will still scream they have to slot CC skills that would otherwise be used to one shot a normal player off/no mount to begin with.The vocal minority that are against the mount will never be happy until it's rendered uterrly useless in WvW worse than the PvE counterpart or it's removed in it's entirety.I can go on with more but you're more than welcome to revisit the description of WvW on your own...

Is there too much CC available so you need a super strong break bar or is there so little CC that adding a breakbar would make people cry because they have to slot in CC skills?In any case, remember dismounting a player rewards you with a CC on its own (knockdown) so unless you're using a really long stun like headbutt you end up with pretty much the same result.

sebb.3560 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 One suggestion I think would make the (imo often annoying) mount cooldown arguably more appropriate is to only have a cooldown if you end up in combat, got dismounted by the trick that was mentioned or if you used your engage skill. I often find myself mounting up, realising there is a banner nearby or that I could use some supply. The interaction dismounts me and then I walk for a couple of seconds that feel like eternity. Just a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
