[Suggestion] Time for Legendary Mounts?

[lezbefriends.7516]

Imagine having the mount equivalent of Twilight: a nocturnal animal that flies (permanently) at night. There would then also be a mount like Sunrise: able to take flight during the day but sleeps at night. Now imagine breeding the two (like Eternity) into a mount that flies at any time. You may argue that it takes away any challenge in the open world, but anyone who puts the grind into these legendary mounts — which should be harder to acquire than weapons, as they are useful rather than just cosmetic — has already done their share of arduous tasks.

Griffon was great during PoF, just like gliding was great in HoT. But I think it is now time for a mount with permanent flying. At least, for the most hardcore of players, who are already bemoaning the lack of content made for them.

[Mushuchalaka.9437]

Yes to Legendary anything(epic quest) but they need to implement it without breaking functionality of current mounts. Meaning no permanent flight, but something cool would be nice.

[Blocki.4931]

Look at the 30 other threads about permanent flying and at statements that already told us that permanent flying will never come to GW2. The Skyscale already fits the description of "legendary mount", hence why people have already used that term to describe it before.

[LucianDK.8615]

Permanent flying is NOT needed, and theyve said it multiple times that it wont happen. Gw2 is not wow with simplistic flying. Perma flying invalidates all other mounts.The Skyscale is pretty much a legendary prestige mount.

[aspirine.6852]

Pff can you imagine the grind if a normal mount was already such a shitstorm on the forum.

[Vancho.8750]

Permanent flying ruined WoW, it is the ultimate utility and the whole design will have to revolve around it.The griffon and the scyscale are legendary the long collections that are like crafting legendary.The best they could do as legendary is to add a skin tied to let say a ring since those don't have account cosmetic to them.

[Arzurag.7506]

We already got one, it´s called skyscale.

[HyperLooser.2698]

Why make actual legendary mounts, if you can buy legendary mount skins with gems, thats like killing off one of their main income.

[starhunter.6015]

Yup we already got a Legendary mount that required us to track all over Tyria to acquire it is called Skyscale.

A second post about "legendary mount" got rejected by the community? i'm shocked

[Zahld.4956]

Mount with adjustable stat attributes

[Game of Bones.8975]

Remember the time when people were saying that mounts would ruin the game?

Now there are discussions about the "next" mount, which one is the best, and why we don't have an underwater mount yet.

Its almost like anet listened to the concerns of those who where against mounts like myself. Strange how that works.

last mount 'eat' like legendary ...welcome.

[Trise.2865]

So Gem Store skins, but ones that cost mats instead of Gold? Sure, why not?

[Jevati.4328]

People have said it already. Skyscale is the legendary mount. Also, another -1 for permaflying.

[Tarlonniel.6534]

I'm hoping they move away from mounts. We've got plenty, time for something new.

[suggestion] Time for Legendary Mounts?

• Dragon
• Unique mechanics, including permanent hovering and sustained air travel
• Costs weeks worth of farmed resources
• Requires completion of over two dozen collections plus numerous other achievements.
• Special graphical effects

That looks legendary to me.

Siege Turtle

[JUN YANG.4328]

just on top of skyscale will do the job.

[Konig Des Todes.2086]

"Legendary mount" is pretty much exactly what griffon and skyscale are.

That would be an awesome skin for the Superior Siege Golems in WvW.(I've always wondered why ANet didn't sell skins for siege, although maybe it's performance related.)
