ScyeRynn.4218 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Vote on the best mount in GW 2. (as of May 2019) Then rate mounts from most favorite (top) to least favorite (bottom). Mine: Skyscale Skimmer Roller Beetle Griffon Raptor Jackal Springer Warclaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyncale.1629 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Griffon Raptor Skyscale Springer Rollerbeetle Skimmer Jackal Warclaw Rollerbeetle could have ended up higher if they would let us mount it with already half a bar of endurance filled (or even better, a full bar). I never understood why they are so scroungy with that part: the beetle has enough other drawbacks to not make it overpowered if we can at least start with a sprint. 1) Steering is tough due to the delayed reaction + speed; 2) It slows down humongously when going uphill; 3) It can not cross any chasms, exept tiny ones.

Fenom.9457 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Nothing can possibly top the Dragon mount!!!! Now give me 5,000 skins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasimir.6239 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Springer -> Skyscale -> Raptor -> Jackal -> Griffon , ranked on the basis of making me least motion sick while using. Roller beetle and skimmer aren't on the list since I get sick pretty much the moment I mount them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrianna.3092 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 how do you get motion sickness from a video game? your not even actually moving or anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brenda.9723 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Griffon-> Jackal -> Skimmer -> roller beetle-> bunny -> skyscale-> jackal -> warclaw. I dont play wvw that much so warclaw is kinda useless for me :p. Jackal and Griffon feel like they are the best to control. The roller beetle and bunny are usefull but way harder to control. I only use the jackal for portals. The skyscale is way too much effort, when it is like a less cool version of the griffon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s happens to the weak! Joking aside it is a serious problem for a lot of people, not only in games but also movies. I put raptor,springer, skimmer as I don’t have beetle or griffin yet /cry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 The skyscale is the best because it's a dragon and I am incapable of being objective when a dragon is one of the options. Other than that it's hard to say. The griffon is the mount I use most (I don't have the skyscale yet) but the springer is the one I miss most when I'm playing other games. I think the jackal has the coolest lore behind it, and the skimmer is the one I find most original. The raptor is probably the least exciting functionally since it's basically the standard speed boost mount, but I love that it's a raptor - something that would be a premium skin or rare drop in most games. The roller beetle is probably the one I use least because I find it hard to control, but in the right situation when I don't mess it up it's so much fun. And it seems unfair to compare the warclaw to the others because it's far more important that it's balanced and not too much of an advantage, so in a way not being crazy-amazing is it's strength. But in terms of how much I use them, and enjoy using them, I think it would go: 1) Griffon 2) Jackal 3) Springer 4) Skimmer 5) Raptor 6) Warclaw 7) Roller Beetle I'm expecting the skyscale to take the top spot once I unlock it. > @"Adrianna.3092" said: > how do you get motion sickness from a video game? your not even actually moving or anything... That's part of what causes motion sickness. Your body combines information from different senses to work out what's going on. If your eyes say you're moving and your ears (yes you use your ears to sense position and motion) and limbs say you're sitting still your brain starts saying "Woah, something's not right here! Stop it!" and that comes across as feeling sick, which is supposed to discourage you from continuing whatever you're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirius.4510 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I think it affects different people in different ways. I haven't had a problem with GW2 mounts, but I have sometimes felt nauseous from low framerates, unusual field-of-view settings, or watching videos of shaky-cam play styles in various games. There are a few graphics settings in GW2 that try to mitigate the issue, but I guess they can only do so much for some of us. Regarding the topic, I think my ordering would be griffon, jackal, raptor, skyscale, springer, skimmer, roller beetle, warclaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugo.4705 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Jackal > Skyscale > Griffon > Skimmer > Springer > Raptor > Roller Beetle > Warclaw I never use the three last ones. Skimmer, well when I have to bypass swimming. Griffon to bypass cliffsides and pits. Skyscale when needing to bypass anything. Jackal because it's a pleasure, fast, efficient, no aggro and can look at the landscapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 "None" or "All" weren't options. I like all the mounts. I think it's amazing that ANet has found a way to introduce each to cover particular niches. I love the tranquility of hovering over the water (or sulfur); it is (as the NPC says) very peaceful. Gone in 60 seconds with Roller Beetle at full throttle is amazingly fun, even if I remain horrible about aiming. The springer is just ridiculous, in both senses of the word: it looks & acts crazy and it's also super fun (and often useful) at getting around certain types of environments (although I fear the Skyscale might outclass it).

Steve The Cynic.3217 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 > @"Adrianna.3092" said: > how do you get motion sickness from a video game? your not even actually moving or anything... That's actually why. The screen looks as if it's moving, and your ears say you're not. Motion sickness is (in general) caused by a mismatch between what the eyes are saying about the movement of the world and what the other senses (notably balance but always in combination with e.g. the proprioceptive and kinaesthetic senses(1) that tell us where the various bits of our bodies are). The eyes are (by the movement of the screen) saying that the world is moving, and the ears (because you're just sitting(2)) are saying that it is not. That disagreement can, for some people, cause motion sickness. (1) Driven by a combination of sensations about muscle loads and joint angles, and requiring about a quarter of your brain mass to process into an overall impression. It's what allows you to close your eyes and touch your left and right index fingertips together without (a) looking and (b) fumbling. (2) "Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits."

melandru.3876 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 skyscale is basically griffon + springer so i rarely if ever use those (unless i need to dive with griffon) beetle, a well controlled beetle is the fastest and most manouvarable mount in the game. it gives jackals and raptors a run for their money with those 2, you can pretty much do 99%, unless for the odd jackal sand portal that can't be bypassed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drmambo.7620 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I chose griffon due to it being a bit more fun to just play around with but I over all think skyscale is slightly more useful for getting over obstacles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspirine.6852 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Since the Skyscale some of the maps in HoT or perhaps all of them became fun again. So Skyscale was easily worth the effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mea.5491 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 1. Jackal (fastest mount on uneven terrain, can completely avoid fall damage, quick endurance regen) 2. Springer (extremely useful to climb on stuff) 3. Skimmer (useful to avoid water and more, no fall damage) 4. Beetle (useful to explore a map on land extremely quickly) 5. Griffon (has decent jumps and can cross gaps, good to explore some maps quickly) 6. Raptor (clunkier to control than Jackal, bad at uneven terrain, gets fall damage) 7. Skyscale (clunky, awkward to use) 8. Warclaw (gets outclassed by everything else in PvE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the way the springer does a little 'laugh' when it lands, like it's amused at the idea of anyone thinking that gigantic cliff was a barrier. Similarly I like the way the griffon wags it's tail after a wing flap like it's pleased with itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irreverent.3594 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 **Skyscale** **Roller Beetle** (dorifto!) **Griffon** (ty old pal, t'was a good run) **Skimmer** (not completely sure yet but looks like Skyscale replaced it, can harvest volatile magic on water with Skyscale too and it's actually challenging and more fun that way) **Jackal** (better than raptor because has no problem with little bumps and can do 90/180 snap) **Raptor** (got really annoying making those noises while tripping on every little bump) **Springer** (worst of all, WAS only useful for jumps where griffon coudn't jump on) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divine Monk.2401 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 The Griffon for it's aerial prowess cannot be matched :wink: but in all honesty love em all, even the Warclaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arden.7480 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Jackal was love from the first sight. Jackal is just really cool, I love falling down the cliff on him and 1 cm away from the ground using V/Space or Shift. It's the best mount to go from lower to higher grounds, and I love its engaging skill. Jackal Skyscale Griffon Roller Beetle Raptor Springer Skimmer/Warclaw (I like it on wvw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombyturtle.5980 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Griffon Springer Raptor Jackal Warclaw Skimmer Rollerbeetle Skyscale Skyscale is terrrible imo. Super clunky and takes all the fun of movement away. Griffon is the best as its smooth to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
