Game of Bones.8975 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I can see the next mount being a HORSE. The initial one would automatically be tailored to the race riding it in terms of size; a pony or miniature horse for the Asura all the way up to a Clydesdale or Shire for Norn. Anyone who says size doesn’t matter is kidding themselves. The speed would be comparable to the raptor with the special ability of a knockdown with the front hooves (or kick with the back) creating a hard interrupt. Further skins would include: Fire mounts leaving flaming hoof-prints, Skeletons with bone-rattling sound when running, the Unicorn would have to leave a wake of rainbows (or hearts), and Shadow mounts half in the Mist half in the Terrestrial. One thing that would set this mount apart from most of the others is the it would be usable in PvE and WvW. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orack.9756 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 No thanks, I don't see what it would add to the game. I really think we've enough mount and most of use use mainly the skyscale anyway. I'm just waiting for the surprise of a new thing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 They can easily add horse skins to the jackal. They already have that tall reindeer type mount in that class. Primal Spirit Jackal Skin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I like the idea of a horse mount (it's something I've asked for several times) but I think it would make more sense as a skin for another mount than an entirely new type. There's too much cross-over between things horses can do and things the existing mounts already do, so having it as a seperate mount would be redudant, but I think a horse skin for one of the mounts we've already got would be a fun addition.

kharmin.7683 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Cmon. OP you've been around long enough to know all of the previous threads on horses. Why did you feel the need to start yet another one? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chance of there being a new mount is incredibly low and will be practically nonexistent once the next expansion is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Greyhawk.9107 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Gives us something a dedicated horse mount would do that the current batch don't already do, OP. Otherwise you'll need to make do with a skin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyncale.1629 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) There's the ugly Griffon unicorn horse skin? Not a new mount off course but it could be a fix. 🙂 I got it on a key runner and no matter how many dye combo's you try out, it still looks ugly. But it does whinny from time to time!

Zizou.2358 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) Look at my horse, My horse is amazing Edit: we already have Primal Spirit jackal skin, which is like a deer/horse with unique animation and sounds. It's enough 🐎 Edited June 13, 2021 by Rukasu.3097 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lottie.5370 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I'm not really sure a horse mount could add anything that we don't already have, I also don't think it makes sense with the expansion (I think if they were going to add a new mount, it would be with that). It's also kinda... boring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their only mention has been in the books and they've otherwise never been seen There actually is a horse in GW2 (and GW1) but you won't have seen it, because it's invisible...and technically not on Tyria. Mr. Gum Drops, Mad King Thorn's invisible pony lives in the Labyrinth and is one of the participants in the race there. They used to exist in Kryta, Orr, Cantha and possibly Elona. In GW1 one of the types of Orrian undead found around Kryta was Necrid Horsemen. Their mounts don't look like horses (horses don't usually have that many horns, or eyes), but then the riders don't look very human either so that might be some combination of corruption and artistic licence. There's also mentions of horses in use in Kryta during Mad King Thorn's reign (about 200 years before GW1) and a few other references. One theory I've seen is that horses in Tyria were native to and/or mainly bred in Orr and when the penninsula sank they were wiped out, or now only exist in some distant corner of the world we don't currently have access to. But we don't know for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
