Boogiepop Void.6473 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Too many things cause a dismount. We are having to remount CONSTANTLY. A non-exhaustive list: * Talking * Repairing * Shopping * Gathering * Vistas * Interacting with non-combat quest objects (ie water dispensers, bleached bones, carrots, etc.) * Resurrecting * Opening chests * Interacting with mastery points None of these (and this is not everything) are very rare. I checked my own key presses and X is now the most hit key IN THE ENTIRE GAME outside WASD-Space. We need to be able to do more mounted. The amount of extra clicking that is being generated is ludicrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanner Blackfeather.6509 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Or just not remount if you know you'll keep interacting with things... Short distances the extra speed really doesn't matter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zackie.8923 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 yea i think things like opening chest should not dismount you. espeically useful in SW chest farms in future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game of Bones.8975 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I haven't checked yet, but is there a mastery for doing things mounted? If not, there should be. A separate line of masteries that cross over for players to do on all mounts; such as open chests, forage/mine/harvest mats, rezzing, and interacting with the environment in general. Just my $.03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atticus.5284 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 How did we ever do anything before raptors? If we did it just fine without them, whats the big deal? I agree with Anet - you should be able to conduct "business" mounted. They are there only to get you from point A to B...not live on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I do a lot less gathering now, because it involves so much micromanagement. Slowing down (which requires some maneuvering), potentially repositioning if the dismount is awkward, waiting for the gather to end, re-mounting, turning to get in the proper direction again, then rebuilding up speed. Now, none of that is difficult in the least, it's just a lot of clicking & turning & waiting for a few silver's worth of materials. It's similarly annoying to deal with narrow stairs/ledges/turns and swapping mounts for a brief obstacle. Those require similar amounts of micromanagement. And again, it's not hard, it's just tedious. So I sympathize with the OP's complaints. At the same time, I agree with others above that it might be worth adapting to the new game first before assuming that things are actually worse. I do think they could make it easier to choose and swap mounts, using fewer keybinding and perhaps allow us to swap mounts rather than dismount→swap→remount. Even if ANet agrees with me about that being a priority, I'm sure it will be 4-8 months before we'd see any changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rauderi.8706 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 It's a nearly instant transition from interaction to mount and vice versa. It might be a lot of management, but the devs made it about as painless as it could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrin.4750 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 ..and then you get interrupted while opening something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamy Lu.3865 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I also think there are too many mount/dismount. I am part of those having motion sickness , caused by two specific things: the way the raptor stops (side sliding) and at dismounting. I manage more or less OK by not watching in that instant, but of course, to have less dismounting would be a big help. And as said by someone before, when I see that I am in a zone where I will farm a lot, I chose to dismount and run rather than to mount/dismount all the time.

Gwyllion Redsky.5241 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 yes, I noticed that after a few hours of play I just run by the harvesting nodes because it is too much of a disruption to dismount, gather, mount / when you run slowly on foot it is ok to stop but when you are flying it seems such a waste of time ... it is strange how perspective shifts :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vindicus.2130 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Yea swapping around the mounts is tiresome. Especially if playing with action camera mode. I have to hold down my unlock cursor from window hotkey, click the mount dropdown, select mount, release unlock cursor hotkey. Please just make holding down the mount hotkey bring up a selection wheel. I know you can hotkey each mount individually but I don't have that kind of hotkey real-estate to go around comfortably.

Manasa Devi.7958 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I think the problem is "Too much mounting". You don't have to dismount if you choose not to be on your mount at times when interactions are likely to be frequent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadramar.8156 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Mounting and dismounting appear to be among the primary triggers for mount-related motion sickness, due to the flash and the forced camera movement, so any way to alleviate that would be welcome. Talking to or shopping with NPCs or otherwise using their services (bank, TP), vista-viewing and channeling mastery points, at least, should not forcibly dismount us because that makes no sense. Using a crafting station is a different kettle of fish, but for the sake of convenience and not making people feel sick, I think it should be allowed, too, because it's not like our characters play any actual crafting animations like hammering on an anvil. Gathering, ressing and object interaction are the cases where a forced dismount makes the most sense, partly because they do have animations, but unfortnately they're also what you do most of ...

Emprer.7256 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I just feel so annoyed to have to dismount and mount again if I wanna switch mounts, which happens a lot between springer and raptor/jackal. Problem is you can't mount when you are in combat and you are always in combat coz these kitten mobs have large aggro range and wont leave you tf alone. There is also one champion fight where you have to fight it, then mount to use a special ability. I just couldnt get out of combat with my mirage because of clones or whatnot. They need to make switching mounts in one step without having to dismount first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Sister.7529 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Don't use the dang thing for gathering or small distances or in cities. There is no use for it at those times. Like it is fun for others to see them everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalkingwolf.6035 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 it would also be good if we can mount from one directly into another mount. i have added shortcut for every mount. let me seemless switching mounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyFallsInThunder.8257 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 IMO the worst is when you are running on your mount through an area with enemies and stopping to gather would almost certainly put you in combat. So you can't mount again until you kill the nearby enemies. So you waste more time. Is this WoW? It feels like this is WoW or other mmos like it. ANet why you wanna waste my time?!

MithranArkanere.8957 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Talking and vistas maybe should not dismount you as they have no animations, but the rest have each their own animation. > @"Wild Sister.7529" said: > Don't use the dang thing for gathering or small distances or in cities. There is no use for it at those times. Like it is fun for others to see them everywhere. I am picturing now someone mounting and dismounting before and after every node in every node farm.

I checked my own key presses and X is now the most hit key IN THE ENTIRE GAME outside WASD-Space. We need to be able to do more mounted. The amount of extra clicking that is being generated is ludicrous. Half of the things you wrote down happens during story or exploration and stop. And I am talking about 1. Talking 2. Mastery 3. Vistas The others most when in city, so once in 60 mins. 1. Repair 2. Shopping What remains it's obvious that dismount you 1. Resurrect 2. Gathering 3. Opening chests 4. Interacting with obj I can understand if you would like not to dismount for repair or sell/buy items, but not the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Substatic.6958 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Having to dismount to talk to someone makes absolutely zero sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinex.3695 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Come on folks really think about what you are complaining about here and that is that it's too much effort to press a key again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurij.4625 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 So because you have to pres one additional key now your life is ruined? Do you know that you _don't_ have to mount every time there is a chance to do so, don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abakk.9176 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Here we go. Already not beeing mounted equals 'wasted time'. Who didn't see that one coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
