Warrost.4895 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 They won't be in WvW and I doubt they ever will (at least in the next few years) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sovereign.1093 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 maybe in a bigger map and a different game mode. mounts can always carry sieges around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfey.3407 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I can see them doing something very similar to the territory system... it's already in place for gliding. I would not be shocked, if they add mounts to that system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FogLeg.9354 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Hope they will not be scared to add mounts. Took long enough to get gliding into WvW, and it works really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 It took them 2 years to add gliding to WvW, so *if* mounts are traveling to WvW, it probably won't be soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmaogg.7325 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I rather see mount in wvw than glider tbh. At least it makes more sense in a "war" to ride a mount compared to roleplaying as a butterfly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blodeuyn.2751 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Let's wait for the bugs to be worked out before we even entertain allowing mounts in wvw. You may very well find them annoying in the end. Also, they need to fix current wvw issues before adding something new to it. Priorities and all.

Dawdler.8521 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I can just imagine seeing a fully mounted army... warping back and forth, back and forth all the time. They havent even fixed the broken and buggy gliding netcode yet but people want mounts, lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerby.1069 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 NOT AT ALL. They would never be inputted into this mode. Not enough resources are allocated to wvsw to create a new map for them to exist, or to create new gameplay to facilitate them having a role. IT WON"T HAPPEN. I have no idea how any of you can even entertain the idea of them existing in wvsw.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirlias.8104 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 There's just enough lag during big fights. We don't need mounts at all. They should "lock" reduce everything until 300v300v300 is ok with no more lag imput. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty, I don't think it will take as long. Part of the reasons it took gliding so long was because they were designing things like server linking, reward track system, pip system, rewards, qol stuff, ect beforehand. By the time they got to it they still had to design the territory setup to support it. Now that all that stuff is in, theoretically they already have a foundation to build it on. Then again , it all depends if/when they want to allocate the time and resources to it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, they probably did it with Mounts in mind. I believe they'll wait a bit to let us get used to gliding, and they'll add Mounts too, eventually.

I kind of got the impression that adding gliding and territories was a precursor to them adding mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Moon.4382 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 The maps are small enough that even Gliders are ridiculous - they should pull them. No mounts as this will just get people more reason to run away and not fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justine.6351 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 If/when they do implement them they will probably be under a different mastery set like gliding to restrict anything too wild. Like ubi said, the timing on territories/gliders is likely not a coincidence. Nor was all the missed gliding exploits that they had to rush patch in giant rocks everywhere to fix stuff. Its almost like they were cramming it in to meet a deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are aware bugs, glitches and exploits then report them all to Anet and I am sure they will be fixed eventually. The fact is, some bugs has always exist and players just keep finding new ways to break the game, this itself is not indication of how much fun some new feature is. Personally I have not seen Gliding being abused at all, it is just me trying to glide in enemy territory and falling to my death every day. Mounts, just like gliding, would be just another way to get into fights faster. They have no effect once battle has started, just reduce the time you waste running back veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery sloooooooooooooooooooooooooowly from the closest waypoint. If your main worry is that they can be used to jump over the walls, I am sure these can be solved by preventing special mount skills on enemy territory or near any objective.

Waypoint ownership importance would decrease by the info in your post. Having a WP closer makes it faster to get into the fight. Not having it, or having to run further gives one team time to breathe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would reduce the strategic importance of a tier three keep. Having it only would assist PPT. Defending a keep would have lesser importance in my opinion. I also saw a problem with not opening the keeps WP when the defend timer ticked down also, but that is a different issue. I guess EWP were put in for that. I don't know if I am for or against mounts at this point. I am trying to stay open minded about either, and if they are introduced, will try to figure out how to make them a strength for my team and, more importantly, a liability for the other.

I think that is the opposite direction that anet should be working towards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
