OMG iTz Me.4871 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 so here's the thing and im pretty sure many have thought about this and maybe it will sound familiar or bad but here it goes in game we have Gods and we have Dragons and mounts not to mention legendary weapons and armors with great design and appearance and effects (well, mostly). so why dont we get something like a mounts God? something very unique to the game with unique and special skills and appearance, something we havent seen in gw2 yet, maybe a skill that requires specific condition to active and has unique great power. personally i'd like to see such thing in game it will make great feature and possibly a game changing. what do u think? good idea or too shallow?

Danikat.8537 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I was confused by you talking about gods and a mount god, because while there's a lot of different gods in GW they mainly only exist in the lore. Also my first thought was to say that the norn believe there's a Spirit of the Wild for every animal, so there would be a Raptor spirit, Springer spirit, Skimmer spirit etc. (not entirely sure about the jackals, since they're artificial), but like the others Spirits they'd only rarely be seen. But then the rest of your post was entirely different. But a legendary mount with unique abilities could be interesting, depending on what it is. I'm not sure what that would look like because even the default mounts in GW2 are like the special mounts you have to go out of your way to obtain in other games. They skipped the usual 'horse/other common animal with a 25% speed boost' step and went straight for a giant raptor which can leap over canyons as the basic mount, and then went from there, adding animals with new abilities in-game and fancier skins in the gem store. I'm not saying they've got every possible kind of mount covered, but I think it would be harder than in most games to create a 'legendary' mount which is distinctly better than the ones we've got now. About all I can think of is a true flying mount, one which can stay in the air indefinitely and gain height whenever you want, but that would cause a lot of issues with the way maps are designed, so it seems unlikely they'd do that.

Randulf.7614 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I don't like the idea of legendary mounts. They won't do pure gimmick and they do skins through the store. That leaves a unique mechanic which would end up locked behind grind. Better to continue to use collections ala griffon and beetle and produce meaningful mounts we can all access reasonably easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesacon.8735 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 There's a theory that Aurene is a legendary mount we might use for an instance at some point. I'm not personally convinced, but I also can't rule it out since she is mount sized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be cool and who needs a all in one, all in one's are never cool never wanted, just look at the all in one PC's a complete waste lol.

Which is how the game already works. Even if you don't have each mount bound to a hotkey, switching is far faster than opening the hero panel and selecting a new mount skin. So, this "legendary mount" idea of yours is a strict downgrade to what we already have in-game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaralyna.3104 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I already classify the griffon as that "legendary" mount. It needs you to spend gold to get it and a few collection lines along. And it doesn't make other mounts and their masteries useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned: it would cut into their revenue and since mounts are account wide, I doubt many people with multiple skins like myself would be happy to lose all of them. Which brings us to: it would have to be insanely overpowered movement skill wise to be able to cover all the other mounts abilities. The griffon already is in that spot for most of the movement mounts, especially paired with then latest story masteries. It would be better to introduce mounts which enhance the system without treading on other mounts movement abilities, if new mounts get introduced. Now as far as skins go, I guess it depends on how much the developers are willing to sacrifice lore when doing something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG iTz Me.4871 Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 yws you guys make a very good points and mostly i havent thought of them however, what i mainly mean is new mount described as "The God of All Mounts", it doesnt have to be legendary quality like weps and armor, it can be obtainable through quest thats made specifically for it and about how its first mount and how things changed and there is more mounts now.. etc. A special quest for special mount and unique and maybe have part in next episode without sacrificing, forget the sacrificing part xD but a very unique mount unlike anything we've seen in GW2 so far that would be really nice and cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biff.5312 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 The only thing I can imagine listening to the description is griffons. It's a mount you don't strictly need and isn't as easy to get as the others. As for how cool mounts look - there are constantly new skins available that many people would consider to look 'epic'. So I'm not sure what's being proposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve The Cynic.3217 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 > @"OMG iTz Me.4871" said: > but a very unique mount unlike anything we've seen in GW2 so far Every single mount we've had so far has been unlike anything previously seen in GW2, or, to be honest, in any other MMORPG. OK, sure, Runes of Magic has the Torex, a small dinosaur like the Raptor (except smaller), but it's no more than any other MMORPG mount, just a fancy-looking visual for a speed boost.

OMG iTz Me.4871 Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 when they first released mounts it was unlike anything we've seen in gw2 and that been years ago, and im suggesting a new type of mount that has very unique skill and shape and movement (NO NOT GRIFFON) and it has its own story line to introduce it as God of Mounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
