Nope.
Go play wow if you want mounts and mount skins.

Mounts only while not PvP flagged isnt a good idea. It is a big penalty to flag at that point and thats not the vision for new world. They want to encourage flagging hence the xp boost and luck boost coming soon.
Someone brought up the idea of only mounts on the roads. That was interesting it brought to mind how the road could be a dangerous place because I can lay in ambush and wait. Sounds fun to me atleast. About only 5% of people on my server are flagged anyways so it would probably be a waste of time.
If they are going to have mounts if anything it should be auto dismount upon receiving damage. And every PvPer would have to carry a musket to dismount others.(which would be annoying, but us PvPers do what we gotta do ) Because melee builds would never catch up otherwise.
Mounts killed DAoC. No Mounts.
Next you will be asking for flying Mounts and cosmetic wings. Carriages wouldn’t be bad, and adding a focus based buff class like a bard with run speed would also work but Mounts are too much.
LMAO
Fast travel that can be ganged =)))))
How fast wiil be this travel?
You have TP instead of Mout. It’s even beeter. It is gatekeeper system from Lineage2.
Also the world is too small to have mounts.
Just get enough azoth.
And on the other side if players travel by mount - they don’t farm resourses by the way.
So less resourses at the market. Crafters will be victims.
But anyway who cares. GIVE ME MY MOUNT!
How about this for mounts:
You have to tame animals that already exist in the game, they can only be up to 75% of your level, and they are killable. You can tame another one and make another saddle, but you mount isn’t safe. It doesn’t just disappear when you dismount. They only disappear in town, where you can put the mount in your storage. You may only have one mount tamed at a time.
In pvp, this would also be a risk and strategy option.
I want a rock climbing goat mount so I can get over the god-awful designed mountains. Seriously design team, stop making twisting mountain time gates. Its lazy and everyone hates you for it.
How about we add mounts once you’ve explored the entirety of new world. (like an achievment)
You’ll have to of visited each town / spot / known place + be level 60 this way you don’t miss any of the exploration and are essentially only using it to travel to places get rid of azoth add mounts you’ll have a more mmo alike game

Mounts in New World are going to be a challenge given the terrain. I’d be happy with automated routes between settlements similar to chocobos in FFXIV.
Maybe a wagon that you pay gold to travel from city to city via the main roads. Until then I’ll settle for being able to float in water.
I’ve always loved mounts, I’ve ground out rep for them, bought them with ingame gold i had to grind for, even paid real money for some skins for mounts, but in this particular instance I believe they are a mistake.
Give us sprint based on our Stamina bar.
The map is just not that big. It looks like it when you are looking at the ingame map. But when you actually traverse the world it shrinks pretty fast.
Mounts will detrimentally affect people who choose not to use them. An example would be for those who like to explore and harvest or who have harvesting routes they follow. Without a mount they will simply be unable to keep up and will have to use a mount merely to keep enjoying the game.
Perhaps the mount on a rail idea would work. But other than that mounts will really ruin this game for a number of people.
I like it! It could also maybe open up carriage detail protection quests for pvp groups.
Mounts for only PVE flagged ppl so PVP flagged players don’t try to use this to run away faster, unless they plan to add mount abilities.
Also please no weird mounts just horses, and the ability to make armor for them to customize, just please no frilly crap that I have seem from mobile games.
And I think carriages should be pulled my bulls for a fee from an NPC from towns and you have to protect the carriage from either AI or other players. The former level of the AI being determined by the territory level.

To the people who don’t want mounts…
Don’t use them.
Problem solved.
Yes and no. I was fine with the 1 or 2 spots per map that you could pay for a ‘taxi’. You had no control of the mount, it took you to a specific area and only that area. You accidentally get off the horse, you were stranded and had to walk the rest of the way. If anything hit you, you got knocked off and had to walk. The mounts only followed roads, so sometimes a direct run would be faster.

Map is so small no mounts needed for the mean time. You can literally teleport back and fort to your inn and and shrines. Exploration is good i got side track all the time on areas. And its very immersio breaking to see a mount randomly poop from air. Mounts are for people who just want to finish the game very fast and quit.
lol play wow for your mount haha.
Adding mounts to an MMOrpg with open world PvP?
Never been done before. Other games definitely don’t have mounts and exploration, gathering, PvP, etc …
Wait. Have you ever played literally any other mmo? Or open world rpg? Elder scrolls?
I feel like these threads are started by 10 year olds who are new to games.
Dude… Wow had mounts and PvP something like 15 years ago. Come on.
I called dips on Horses used as Taxi between cities that you could put skin on and carriages to move from town to town, also part as PVP for carriages
Add mounts so people can cry about reaching max lvl even faster than before. 
Yes we could have mounts but then thay need to change lore or add something so we can use mounts suddenly. Maby in future expansions but thay need to think carefully how to add mounts without turning Azoth useless.
Maby having mount but thay have also monthly payment or food or something else that consumes resources in order to have this conviniency.
LMAO! Trust in ags is really low huh
