paShadoWn.5723 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 would equalize all professions in terms of an out-of-combat mobility and disengage and incite sPvP players to buy PoF same as elite specs and Revenant incite them now to buy HoT.

Ithilwen.1529 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 OP, some of the balance, such as it is, comes from classes being slightly more mobile than others. Mounts would destroy that and throw things out of whack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choovanski.5462 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 i’m not sure how forcing everyone to buy PoF then grind pve to be able to rotate is a good thing? i’m rather happy not having to pay €30 to keep up with rotations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mounts would destroy that and throw things out of whack. Yes it will destroy some drilled habits but whether this is a good thing or bad is up to discussion. > @SilentSam.1589 said: > pvp maps are not large enough to support the use of mounts Last time i played Legacy of Foefire and Colosseum i remember a lot of running from point to point. And your argument is formulated incorrectly because mount can be used no matter the distance thus "support" should be replaced with "require".

xDudisx.5914 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Mobility is part of the game. You can't just give it to everyone for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seteruss.4058 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 so..u need a mount to go from spawn area to closest point?

Difference is, they actually have balanced objective-based gameplay, actual split between Solo/Duo, a working matchmaking system, and barely is considered called a MOBA...

Rezok.2709 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 > @paShadoWn.5723 said: > would equalize all professions in terms of an out-of-combat mobility and disengage Sure, fantastic idea. But obviously classes like thief that is balanced around mobility with the trade-off of being squishy can't have that trade-off anymore. Can't wait to play my bunker one-shotting thief! Your idea can't possibly be bad. /s Do you not realise that out of combat mobility is a big part of some classes? Removing that removes several classes from sPvP. They need compensation, but since you can't do that in out of combat mobility (since you equalize it) it has to be IN combat. This means classes like thief becomes grossly overpowered. And that's not even talking about the fact that the maps are currently so small that it would completely break the gamemode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curennos.9307 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 It's fine in the open world where it doesn't really matter how fast you get somewhere, and in that area of the game I really like that my necromancer no longer has to plod along behind everyone else. However, out of combat mobility is important in sPvP, and giving everyone mounts would require a re-balance of literally everything in that game mode. I don't often say that, but yes. LITERALLY. EVERYTHING. It would probably remove part of pvp that some enjoy, too. I LIKE that my thief is squishy in combat, but can rotate really fast. It adds some variety and depth to the game. Giving all classes the same out of combat mobility would, I think, have things bordering on 'all the classes feel the same' if a rebalance did occur. Because of the above - no.

Your reasoning is wrong. Ther's a reason why gliders are not allowed in PvP and mounts have to not be implemented too. The combat/non combat isn't the problem but the map terrian. Why players should depend on factor outside of maps mechanics and personal skill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyrulisse.1246 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Special maps that take advantage of the mount mechanic could be interesting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
