Mounts mean the death of roaming

[witcher.3197]

So I've given it a chance and I'm not very optimistic.

 

What's the state of roaming now that some time has passed?

Have a TDM open world map ranging from 2v2v2 to 10v10v10 (possibly 20v20v20 for GvG types fights) and most of the roamers and "gankers" would play that vs the current WvW system, imo.

pretty good if you enjoy running in circles with the enemy waiting for the first player to dismount.

Only if they choose to get off their mounts, amirite.

You could effectively use your mount to soak up damage from a ranged opponent as you close the gap. This unfair advantage could eventually force situations where the mounted player has the luxury of forcing the ranged player to also engage with mount (thus eliminating the ranged advantage at first) or just run/not fight.

 

That’s why u relax when someone approaches u with his mount no need blast all ur cds on the mount auto attack only. Or mount up as well and u 2 dance who engages first game

Is the ability to relax when being approached by an opposing side member in a PvP mode a good thing for the longevity and health of the node though,as convenient as it may seem?

I don't think people should be able to avoid each other in a pvp mode as easily as it is the case right now.

 

The mount needs to be changed. I personally would reduce its health by 50% and reduce the number of evades from 3 to 2 or 3 to 1. Something along those lines.
