I hate mounts because it just becomes designed around mount speed and all traveling becomes a huge drag.
Just makes me think of the constant mount/dismount cycle. Give us a move boost on roads and keep mounts away for another time (since they’re probably inevitable as a cash shop plug).
I guess if traveling is already a drag for you, you suspect mounts will help or fix it but I don’t really believe that.
Well I don’t need a mount.
But a little floofy floof as a pet by my side would be great 
Please, NO MOUNTS ! ! !
Run from Cutlass Keys to Shattered Mountains and then say the same thing with a straight face.
You could play 1 game of Outpost rush and have enough azoth to go from a to b. Get azoth gains on your gathering tools.
I’d be okay with pack mules if you found a random horse in the zone and tamed it somehow. Rabbit packmule pls. Oh, no. Rabbit is squish. Spears and jousting also comes to mind. Mounts as extra movement speed is not needed. If some things take longer to do, that’s not game-breaking.
No mounts! End of story
first expand the world and after a while they can introduce mounts… right now definitely not. Pets would be cool though.
I suppose this depends on the server. In my realm there are barely any bots and no, I’m not on a dead server. Most popular world setting in EU and 3rd most popular realm.
Neigh means neigh.
Did you ever play New World ? Every player that experienced New World and see how it work in term of gamedesign can tell you this : Mount will destroy the game as it is.
Simple as that. Adding mount and you can say byby to New World no matter what you think.
I hate the idea of fast travelling.
You argue mounts break pvp encounters.
I argue fast travelling also does the same thing if not more.
There are roads less travelled because it’s faster to just teleport thru it.
If we didn’t have fast travel and only had mounts. Ppl would have to travel the roads which means more opportunity to intercept them along the way.
Not to mention the fact that whenever i play with friends i rather run along with them on mounts than just fast travel skipping all the content.
But running on foot feels like shooting yourself in the leg, since you increase travel time by minutes instead of a few seconds of fast travelling.
Also… if you can hit the deer and stags, i’m sure you can hit ppl on mounts as well.
Also. I would love if we had shapeshifting instead of mounts. It could still interact with harvestables in different ways. We could have x base forms that do different things like in GW2 and sell skins for them in the shop. Instead of pushing out tons of different mounts that do the exact same thing(wow).
Also this could have a longer animation so it’s less spammable and ppl wouldn’t even think about using it for quick escape, cuz they would die in the process lol
Anyway.
This game will someday have mounts for sure, because it’s just a matter of when and how it will be executed. It’s a great money sink and fun to use in every game, and i feel like games should be fun.
I’m against increasing travel speeds as it has multiple negative impacts:
If the speed increase was very minor, these concerns aren’t as big. However, it would still break the lore (there are literally journal entries written explaining that horses are untenable in Aeternum), and there’s always this push with mounts to start making them look more and more ridiculous. Next thing you know, there are rainbow unicorn mounts zooming all over the place, and I frankly hate that.
Yes please, how the hell are mounts not a thing
the “players wont enjoy the environment” argument is stupid to me. I already don’t care about the landscape. Maybe its just me but I’m not mesmerized by the 200th forest I see in 100 other video games.
The only time I stopped and though wow this place is cool is at the one spot in Bright Wood with the Wood Enemies. That is pretty much the only cool looking area on the entire map ive seen thus far.
Also why do people act like you are blind when on a mount? just because you move faster doesn’t mean you wont still see the land
Bring mounts ASAP, or remove fast travel costs… 10minutes walking to a quest and maybe dieing on the way there then spending another 10minutes trying to get back to the quest to complete it then walking back to the town is 30minutes of time spent walking which is half the time a casual player give to this game a day or even a week.
TBH mounts just gonna speed everything up and I hate speed, but then again I am a turtle.
YES, PLEASE we need mounts. Those who prefer going on foot can choose not to have the option of a mount. But just having the option for long distance travel would SO nice. And with mounts, if you see something you want to harvest, just dismount, harvest, get back on.
Why? It would just be an optional feature. You can either have a mount, or not. Use a mount, or not. Why would it all have to be one way?
Really would like Mounts added as well. Just let me do the things I want to do. I have 3 houses and I port all over the place, but I still waste tons of time running past things that will never be interesting to me again. Its just a waste of time. If you want people to smell every single rose on their noobie trek up to EF from WW, thats fine - but dont make me at 60 with most of my professions at 200. Im just over it.
