Would you like to have the option to mount even when in combat?

I kinda wish I could talk to NPC's and do some actions without dismounting in the first place.

Every build I run in PvE has a condition clear utility skill expressly for this reason. I avoid using it until the fight is over so I can get out of combat faster. That doesn't feel right.

No, i dont like gameplay/mechanics without consequenses. (overpowered) I can already see the exploiting Mountusers (especially with the Skyscale). I use and love my mounts btw.

[Dreamy Lu.3865]

Even if I like mounts, I find it a bother in WvW. Personally, I find the warclaw nice to go faster from point A to point B, especially when we have to catch back on a squad for example, but apart from that, I have a lot more fun without, especially during fights against real enemies.

[XenoSpyro.1780]

yeah thats what we need. bunny and doggo spam.

It certainly doesn't feel right having to make a build specifically for such a thing.

Will open up to exploits. Such as players mounting when the boss does an ability, to let the mount to take the damage on behalf of the player, constant spam mounts AoE knockdown, breakbar and barriers etc. Mounts are also not effected by any form of cc (stun,cripple,root etc) and uneffected by speed reduction during combat which will further break the balance of mounts usage for competitive game modes. Just among the stuff that pops into mind, could be more waiting to be dicovered and bugs.

Example of a zone? Some zones are locked in combat for specific reasons(usually to prevent health reset). There were bugs that kept players in combat (not sure if it's still around). "Dodge" is part of the game's combat mechanic.

[Friday.7864]

People would abuse it waaaaay too much. So a no from me.

There are issues with the combat system itself though. I often find myself unable to mount when that shouldn't be the case.

[Bollocks.4078]

Why are so many people assuming that being able to mount in combat would mean being able to spam mount attack? I can't imagine why it would ever work that way or why anyone would think it would. I think the ability to mount while in combat would include mount attack being disabled until you are out of combat mode.

I bet many PvE people like me simply start to run away and lose aggro at some point, after which they will mount up again. A chore for sure. Off course often the (newer) maps are so densely packed with long-range aggro mobs that this will not even work and you have to completely clear the area before you can mount up.

Someone on foot is more likely to drag aggro'd mobs to you. Someone on a mount is more likely to break aggro before the mobs get to you.

[Blude.6812]

No, it's already been a topic and is another suggestion that would not have been posted if some thought was put into it.

 

[Aeolus.3615]

Only if classes would have its mounted counterpart skills and utilities to fight mounted, but once mount hp equal la zero, u got a 2m mount CD.

[Trise.2865]

Of course I'd like it. I love being even more broken and stupidly overpowered than I already am. Doesn't mean that's what I want from the game.

[sorudo.9054]

as a necro, it's not a question of want but need

as anything else, nah.

[Bassdeff.1895]

I think mounts are perfect the way they are now. Allowing to mount in combat would lead to abuse. Yes sometimes I find myself struggling to get out of combat, in those times it's quicker to kill. Personally, mounts have made my game much more enjoyable for me and I find myself enjoying areas of the game which I previously despised (looking at you TD). Now I can skip all the trash and move directly to the event I want to do. It's working fine, please leave it alone.

[DaFishBob.6518]

I wish I could vote yes for every time I get stuck in combat with a skritt bottle.

Yes, the root problem is players that aggro and run. I don't want that play style enabled.

People do that anyway and it has nothing with whether or not people can mount in combat. It happens to me all the time. I really don't see how being able to mount in combat will make that worse. If anything it might actually make it better.

 

In general, I'm still wondering why everybody assumes you'd be able immediately do a mount attack if you could mount in combat. That really just wouldn't make any sense at all. You'd obviously not be able mount attack after mounting while in combat mode. I think the way it would work is if you mount in combat mode then mount attack is disabled until you are out of combat mode.
