Redsnabba.9172 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Now I don't know what the current season of the living world has in store for us but I think an underwater mount would add a lot to this game and it is the mastery I'd look most forward to Also if you agree, what kind of mount would you like to see? I'm thinking either sharks with frickin laser beams. I'd also take a leviathan from gw2 of course. Hell at this point I'd even ride a quaggan :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paralux.6714 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I absolutely agree that an underwater mount needs to be added! :) I’d like to see either a drake, shark or dolphin of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragga the Eighty Third.60 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Dolphin, speed turtle, crayfish (with backwards turbo boosts!), kraken, but especially something like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glass.3245 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 If ANet are going to encourage underwater combat then underwater combat needs some work. Revenant doesn't even have any underwater utility skills or a heal. But yes, I'd love the skimmer to have a dive skill that allowed it to go underwater, similar to the griffon 1 skill.

BlueIce.6951 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I would love to see a giant eel or shark mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Moonshadow.2710 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 While I agree with BlueIce, I also think Orion Templar has a valid point! Personally I think the underwater combat works well enough, it is technically 3D space and that can take some getting used to in moving, targeting, and evading. I'm a bit worried that "Bubbles" was put off in part because ANet received so much negativity about underwater combat from PvP community when they release an underwater map. That being said it would be nice if Revenant had a bit more water-rework. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mewcifer.5198 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I love underwater and I really hope that anet reworks it and releases an underwater mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ServiceTroll.6591 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I got an underwater Raptor [ https://ibb.co/0Fmc8fy ] But not for real, while moving I got hit by an Ice Storm, and the mount bugged.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teratus.2859 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Underwater Mount has been high on my list of wants since PoF tbh. My vote goes to Dolphin for two reasons. 1. They've been a feature of Guildwars since the original Guildwars game. 2. I've wanted a Dolphin pet or minipet/creature since the original Guildwars game xD I am a fan of the underwater side of Gw2 and have for years wanted Anet to give it attention, the big underwater combat rework they did a while back was a great and long overdue upgrade but it was only a first step. Gw2 always had one of the best underwater combat systems in any MMO but I firmly believe that with some further enhancements, more usable skills, more weapons and build options for underwater combat, some new underwater music and the addition of a underwater mount to get around faster.. Gw2's underwater gameplay could easily match the awesomeness of it's land based gameplay. I still hold on to the hope as well that one day we might finally.. FINALLY!! get that big underwater Leviathan world boss that was teased in the Manifesto trailer all those years ago which was unfortuantely scrapped from the vanilla game. Not to mention how badly I am hoping that the fight (or at least part of it) with the Sea Elder Dragon will be based Underwater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etria.3642 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I want a mount where I can gather a node or talk to an npc without dismounting. Yes, that would include a water mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexxxDelta.1806 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I was watching "Aquaman" the other day and I was thinking how cool it would be to have mounts like that in this game. Sadly Anet has moved away from underwater development, in part because its combat is not that popular among the playerbase. Spending resources on underwater traversal is pointless since there is barely any use for it currently. I could see them doing it for a whole new area dedicated to fighting the Sea Dragon, including multiple maps with underwater biomes, much like HoT was with jungle. I don't see them doing anything like that outside an expansion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokh.2695 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I'm all in for an UW rework and new UW content. If there has to be a mount with it, I'll take that as well I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spjones.1528 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Lol, it's funny as my daughter has been pestering me to come on here for months and ask about underwater mounts. I'd happily go for the underwater skimmer suggestion and my revenant would really like the back half of his abilities bar to be usable underwater! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, revenant needs a legend specifically for underwater. There are some well named Largos and gw1 Naga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be bound to novelties Novelties won't be functional mounts, though. Small lakes crowded? That's hardly ever anyone there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirindolo.9427 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 1) Ok, underwater mounts, but to do what? I don't see the point for UW, fast traveling when there is practically nothing to do underwater. If we had rewarding, repeatable UW content... 2) Skimmer coud have a toggle ability to switch between UW mode & surface mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arton Leirra.9760 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I don't particularly like underwater content, don't like how the camera angles are or the verticality of it. I think they'd bring underwater mounts out if/when they release an underwater expansion. Every other mmo has done it so why not GW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
