Every MMO I have played that have bowed to the demands of making players life easier has actually made the game more boring. Some fixes are needed but once you take interaction with others out of the game it becomes boring and players will leave for some other game. It starts by adding mounts then they add Guildhalls and teleports in guild halls and so on till there is no interaction except with guild mates. It happens everytime in every MMO, players want want want and the company that owns the game gets greedy and adds stuff to accomidate players in way of RL money. It happens but the bright side is other MMO’s will be made and players will migrate to them when the game becomes boring. Enjoy the start of this new game and when you get bored with it go outside and play with your kids, catch a movie or take the wife out to dinner. After all its just a game and RL is more important.
Agreed. The game was designed without mounts intended. So why not enjoy the game as is? At least until there is a future expansion that would be made to incorporate them?
I am thinking adding cavalry to the wars might be awesome.
These WoW players asking for mounts are just missing WoW and should go back to it. Funny that they are the first ones to accuse any game to be a WoW clone when they are the first ones to try to add WoW game features in any new MMO.
New World has to stays as is, unique and original, and alternative for the MMO community not another version of the same.
Agreed, imagine how poor what little open world pvp we get on most servers would be with mounts. Travel times aren’t even an issue in this game, most areas take literally two to three minutes to fully run through… a one time journey you’re supposed to ENJOY before teleporting is unlocked in all settlements.
I might be a bit extreme with this opinion but IF mounts are added, I would hope they’re like 30-40% at most, get spooked and throw their rider using a mechanic that would have to be added for that specifically, that monsters in certain dangerous areas could use, and players in case of PvP. And teleporting would have to be either completely removed or made far, far more expensive - so as to be a relatively tough decision to make - IMO. Also mounts would have to be obtained and cared for, not summoned magically out of thin air like most MMO’s do it.
There is a quest in Cutlass Keys that explains the animals on the Aeternum, either tamed or wild, always revert to a wild state. They’re unable to maintain tamed animals in this land we’re adventuring on. So the developers don’t intend to implement mounts right now, it’s imbedded right into the game lore.
Perhaps in a future expansion they’ll come and this might be the basis for that expansions story, but as of right now, people should just drop it and get used to walking.
+1 for NO mounts.
I don’t get why people are obsessed with mounts. They could as well ask for a general run speed improvement or magic shoes or whatnot. But no, it has to be mounts.
