Mounts are coming to gw2. We will have to do a long quest chain like the story line and and find the mount skin we want to ride in pve. Basicaly any monster in pve can be picked for a skin. This will allow wvw people to stop spending 2-12 minets of long walking to get to the action. I caint wait to get my karka mount. Then I woke up.

Mounts are lame for PvP. I'd rather they add a speed chant class like bards etc. from DAOC instead. I know you're joking, but the travel times in WvW really are one of the reasons it doesn't appeal to me.

I agree that the WvW distances gets boring very quick
Distances are very important in WvW tactics wise. Being able to get back into the fight in less than a few minutes would make death pretty much irrelevant, especially considering how long some WvW fights take.
I'm quite happy GW2 doesn't have mounts. They clutter towns and look stupid.
I'd buy one for the aesthetic. But I don't know if people in GW lore even rode mounts. I never read the books.
Yeah, I just don't really see the "fun" of open world PvP when you spend 20-30 minutes in a massive roam (zerg) only to spend 5 minutes plinking at each other from range when you actually run across another zerg.
I don't like it either, but stupid? Is it really any more stupid than having glowing winged lion mounts or giant dragons under every player in sight? I don't think so. There's a happy medium somewhere, even just horses would be fine.
There are NO MOUNTS in GW lore. They had way points but not mounts. It would break with the lore of GW universe. PLEASE STOP ASKING FOR STUFF LIKE THIS, until you understand the lore.

If you want mounts, go play another game.
I am amazed there aren't any threads as to why there are no elves in GW2 also. I mean mounts fit in the same category. Neither are in the lore and just because one game has them doesn't all games have to have them.
Thanks, yeah I didn't think so. I remember a friend who read the books telling me that mounted travel/combat was never prevalent in the GW universe, so it wouldn't make much sense. Then again, it's 250 years since EoTN, so maybe Engineers could invent vehicles.
(don't hurt me! lol)
The only vehicles are the war vehicles that the Charr use - that is all.
Well I am confident they will add mounts to GW2, but unfortunately they will also be removed a week later never to be seen again.
Ugh, it irks me when people do this. If you want to goof off looking at vistas, look for easter eggs, erp with your friends, feel free to but don't go around imposing your preference on other people. If I don't want to look at a dumb vista then I'm not going to and a mount or lack thereof wouldn't influence me either way.
That said, while WvW travelling is tedious, I can see the other side of the situation- with the system the way it is now (down state) clearing a place like Stonemist is already harrowing without people resurrecting and returning to the fray in half of the time. Slowing down people by making them run in WvW is there for a reason.
Completely agree. I was kinda hoping they'd come to their senses by now about alot of this stuff. It's annoying as an engineer ot have to run all over creation without a solid means of keeping swiftness up and not having a 25% run speed boost.
It's bad when trying to finish the dailies because the zones seem so much larger. Even if they limited the mounts to level 80's that would be something right there or made them go close to the speed of swiftness (say 40%) that would still make it easier to get around and get to events.
And as far as the location of teleporters for rezs are concerned they've moved stuff around in WvW before they can again to keep it from being a problem.
