LoreChief.8391 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 At some point in the future we'll assumingly be dealing with Bubbles finally. There is already a decent amount of underwater content in the game as well. It would be cool to have an underwater mount that would help us traverse the depths of the ocean. Not sure what kind of animal it would be though - dolphin-type seems too obvious. Seahorse was already done in WoW. Maybe an Octopus? Its special movement could be less "ease of movement" and more of "survival". Something like; "Camoflage; when not moving you can indefinitely remain stealthed. When you move, you get a few seconds of stealth before it runs out." It could be important if there were something like packs of Pocket Sharks or Lovecraftian horrors we needed to avoid. This is of course assuming Taimi doesn't just invent us a personal submarine instead.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endless Soul.5178 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Not that I'm against the idea of underwater mounts (I'm really not), but aren't the swim speed infusions a thing now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alga.6498 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I am personally wanting an underwater mount for our next mount, :) :+1: to you! > @"Endless Soul.5178" said: > Not that I'm against the idea of underwater mounts (I'm really not), but aren't the swim speed infusions a thing now? So was the glider and look what we got, a gliding flying Griffion mount! :scream: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunjiKugashira.9754 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Since most mounts are animals that didn't exist in GW2 before... How about a tortoise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vavume.8065 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I would love an underwater mount, preferably a dolphin with the ability to jump up out of the water, if it ever happens I may never leave the sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmartRas.8473 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I would also very much love an underwater mount such as an octupus with the ability mentioned at the top. Or maybe a Black Marlin or a shark since they are some the fastest underwater animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGrimm.5624 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Oh, I wouldn't bet that that's not already well under way. Its just smart business. We are bound to go back under water, mounts are on the in, mount skins sell...1+1+1 = Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tachenon.5270 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I read 'UNDERWEAR MOUNT'. I really need new glasses. Anyway. Liopleurodon? Magical or otherwise. Ichthyosaur? Could also be mechanical, a mini-sub or one of those sea scooter thingees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadshow.9320 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Although I want some Seahorse and Bubble mounts it would take away too much from skimmers and swim speed infusion. Why would anyone swim to the surface to mount their skimmers if they can just hop on their seahorses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you only have PoF then you have Griffons as an alternative to gliding. They may fulfill similar roles, but they are from different expansions. Swimming Speed Infusions however, are a Core Game item. Available for F2P players as well. I think you get the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty.6219 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I would love to get an underwater mount and nice big underwater maps, also a special action for the skimmer to dive and use it like a submarine! <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tails.9372 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 There are two types of mounts I see people constantly asking for and an underwater mount would be one of them. The other one is a battle mount which I'd personally love to see (especially if it gets a legendary asuran themed power suit reskin). Nothing against the beetle, I like going fast but I find it a bit odd that that was what they were going for considering that no one really asked for it especially when there are other types of mounts which are more in demand. > @"Dreadshow.9320" said: > Why would anyone swim to the surface to mount their skimmers if they can just hop on their seahorses? Skimmers ignore danger zones like lava and are also usable in shallow water (which already grants you the full speed boost) which I suppose an underwater mount wouldn't.

Cyrin.1035 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Whales, sharks, dolphins, orcas, turtles, giant jellyfish, krakens, eels, crustaceans, sea horses, fish swarms, bubbles of air, the possibilities are endless! Underwater content and exploration is the future and still an untouched area in GW 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You right in a little chariot being pulled by a duo of Marlins, or something else. Then they could give us Dolphin, Octopus and Shark skins or what have you.

Eekasqueak.7850 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 It would certainly make underwater areas less annoying, I don't think swim speed infusions do quite enough, they're not readily available, they only give a bit of speed and you need something with an infusion slot.

Avoiding lava or sulfur the griffon can do better and quicker, the skimmer gimmick is fast travel over water but it is regulated by having to surface or use a swim speed infusion which makes underwater mount just a visual appeal.
