Quotes are manageable again now. :sweat_smile: Would be cool to raise a mount, like, a collection or something that rewards increasingly advanced stages of the creature until you can use it as a mount at the end. Just please don't let it cost like the Griffon lol. I wonder if people who are bothered by spiders are also bothered by Karka in this game. They kinda look "spidery".

I'd go for any large crab/hermit crab thing in the class, maybe not so much a collection and more like "Feeding" it food like the Mawdrey backpack crafting stages.

Zakka.2153 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Again when there are spiders in game already, and Rangers can tame spiders, and there are spider bosses/champions. People being scared of a unrealistic looking game. Shouldn't be able to play anyway. So I am just calling bull on all this "if they add spider mounts" Nope that is it. No on is actually scared of the spiders in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazyDaisy.4107 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Most of the comments in this thread are the reason no one got a spider mount! Reality: have you ever held a cute cuddly bunny? Have you ever had to doctor a gaping wound on your finger after that cute bunny bit it? The bunny mount could eat you whole if it wanted to, he is afterall bigger than most of us, and make no mistake, hes keeping score on the number of seemingly bottomless cliffs you laughed at as you flung both him and you over the edge. Now, a spider on the other hand would be like I GOT THIS and shoot out sticky spider web gunk and save you both, and you be like THANK YOU MISTER SPIDER, and he'd be like DON'T MENTION IT, BUT DON'T DO THAT AGAIN K! and you'd be like YES SIR! See, the spider would've commanded respect and you would've been afraid, but not because he's a spider, but instead we have the bunny, that we should be afraid of, but are too blinded by his cuteness. Our days are numbered I tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rashagar.8349 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I'd love if we had the super adventure box spider as a mount, and every now and again the mount would stop running in the direction we were travelling, promptly knock the player off it's back and do a spin before striking a pose.

Our days are numbered I tell you. The spider would not "tick tick tick tick tick" as he slooooooooooooooowly hop his damn way down a side of a cliff because "OH! THERE IS LITTLE AREAS HERE I CAN LAND ON! BUT I RATHER NOT AND HOP SLOOOOOOOOOOOWLY DOWN AND YOU WILL WATCH ME SLOOOOOOOWLY DROP UNTIL I GET TO THE BOTTOM!" The spider would climb up slowly and surely while you cling tight. Can't find a place to stand? Don't worry... elevator mode as it makes it way up the cliff climbing all cliffhanger style. Want to stop half way? "No worries." Spider mount will make a little temporary foodhold for you and/or her. As a spider, she would also be able to drop from massive heights and not harm herself like the rabbit. The idle animation could even be you looking over the spider's head and you look into her eyes and then she reach her hand up towards you and then you give her a high five. Because spider mount is that awesome. EDIT: Dismount attack she circles the enemy in sacs which will burst and do multiple little attacks as baby hatchlings come out to hit the enemy and syphon energy to you.

Spider high five! Yes please! (and yes, i know that's a Harvestman, not a spider, but it's got what looks like 8 legs so close enough) Also, since Path of Fire is a desert, Anet could give us some of those burrowing spiders as a mount. That would be hilarious. Like have them move half the speed burrowed, but have an ambush attack engage skill. :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoltar MacRoth.7146 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 If only we had the technology to add an option to the Options menu, called something like 'Display spider mounts', which could default to No and let people control if they want to see other player's spider mounts. What a glorious future that would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bast.7253 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Wel having a mount that can scale walls would be a very nice addition, and given they don’t want to add a spider mount for phobia reasons I think a gorilla mount would go quite nicely. Plus, just think of all the semi humanoid skins they could make for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Are people who are afraid of spiders also afraid of ants? Maybe an ant mount could be an alternative option. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANet can make an ant mount then. If spider phobes aren’t ant phobes then it might work as the structure of the two are roughly similar. As to the presence of ants, they may not be shown but they are mentioned. Two examples: [The Anthill](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/The_Anthill) and [”Stomp on any dredge you see. They're everywhere, like ants.”](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Wagh_Nearshot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veprovina.4876 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Well we'll see what happens in LW4 when it gets released, if that will give us any kind of new mount. Hope it does, but i really hope they don't make it into another gold sink like they did with the griffon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it does, but i really hope they don't make it into another gold sink like they did with the griffon. Spider Mount. You need to collect special web-like threading items in the shape of a sack for 50 gold. Inside the sacks is an item worth 10 karma. Collect all 20 to get the spider mount.

Zephiera.9804 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I sympathize with everyone who posted who is arachnophobic.... Personally I like spiders - so long as I know where they are, and with certain exceptions. As for adding them as a mount, all I can say is one of my fav mounts in another game is a spider so I'd definitely not be adverse to having one here.

AstralDusk.1670 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 > @Veprovina.4876 said: > That said. If they did a cute one, i'd want one. Just not to climb on walls, that would kinda break the game, but honestly, i don't know what mechanic a spider could bring that would be worthwile to get. Maybe in LS4 they could invent the need for a spider, that would be cool. They would probably offer a web-flavored Oakheart Essence anywhere. That would be fun.
