Matt H.6142 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Mounts have certainly changed the way we take in content, and maybe not always for the better. In the new region, to feel the threat of the cold, perhaps we should train a new mastery to regain use of mounts. Where the icebrood kodan become a threat again with their whirlwind attacks, and foes popping out of ice blocks add to our perils. The flavor of it would be we are training up their cold resistance, and perhaps this should be tiered as we get closer to Jormag, and the temperature keeps dropping. They are from the desert after all. In this way, after a time, people can use their mounts again and use them as they wish, but are richer for the experiences.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 We can't use our Mounts in the new region? Do you know something others do not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the OP is implying that anet should make us walk on foot for a while on the new maps until we learn a new mastery which will let us use our mounts in the cold, as an idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically, we have to earn what we already earned just to play in specific zones of the world we may not even return to after the mission? I think I'd prefer something actually good for masteries.

Metasynaptic.1093 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Wow did this for a while too; having to relearn flying in every new zone. Sucks in that game, would suck in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'd prefer something actually good for masteries. I would like Mastery to unlock some new CORE WEAPONS.

Tukaram.8256 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 That would just turn the new land into a grind. No, thanks. Any new masteries should be for something new, not just to unlock what is already unlocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyncale.1629 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I am sorry, but that would be the sorriest kind of "content" they could ever come up with. Take away what is fun so you get to re-earn it... I know Anet is starving for content but hopefully not this bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palador.2170 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I guess I get to be the one to point out that we have some mount skins already dressed for cold weather, and even some ice elemental looking skins for a few. Making us need to train our cold-specialized mounts in being cold would be... odd. Also, now they can put the missing cold skins in the gem store. (But first, I expect some charr themed mount skins. And an outfit.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kharmin.7683 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I don't expect that the new zones will require the use of mounts, so OP you will be more than welcome to explore the area without them if you so choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H.6142 Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 How about it unlocks after the episode? The battle of Winterfell would have been a lot less of an event if a raptor just double jumped through the horde invuln. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 The last LS chapters were made with mounts in mind, so I don't really see the benefit of limiting them in future releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucianDK.8615 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Anet said that they gave out hot to pof purchasers because they could then expect that ppl playing ls5 and onward would have access to both glider and mounts, allowing more creative design to take advantage of both.

That would make for a very empty zon, I would not enter the zon, specially after all the "crap" unlocking the Skyscale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybarf Tics.2048 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 The Far North will be even colder. i never thought of this before but what about a new kind of mount that can resist the cold and warmer armors for us to avoid certain death.

You are welcome to walk around all you want. But I already earned the mount mastery and will use them as I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'd prefer something actually good for masteries. It wouldn’t be the first time it happened: reference guild buffs with the introduction of guild halls and HoT.
