I figured at some point Amazon is going to parse these forums and topics to get a tone sentiment on how people feel about mounts in the game. So, I’m just adding to their data base to influence their parse. No mounts. no mounts. No Mounts. no Mounts. I like fast travel. running is good. buying houses for fast travel is good. I really enjoy how the travel system is now, yay fast travel! I don’t want mounts! I hate mounts! Mounts are not good! No one wants mounts!
For those curious about tone sentiment, look up Watson tone analyzer. Pretty much it takes sentences/words and applies a score value to it, be a positive or negative value. So by writing lots of sentences that are negative about mounts, and positive about fast travel, I am skewing their results when they do parse all of our data.
I completely agree.
Looking at this from a PVP aspect, there are very few skills that would make sense being able to knock a player off their mount. Even worse, because this is a full action combat game, the mounts would make PVP ridiculously broken, you want to kill players doing the PVP faction missions and protect your faction control of the zone …
“here they come!”
"get rea… and they’re gone … "
nope, they are on a mount so you can’t even get close.
I would rather they implement travel pets.
a pet that will help you gather faster.
a pet that will help you cut down a tree faster.
a pet that will up your carry weight.
a pet that will help you in combat once in a while ( a rare drop from some dungeons. depending on the pet the type of attack will change or it will do a minor heal).
all of these tie into your skilling level. and if you’re out with a skilling pet it’s not going to help you in battle or if it does it is really weak compared to the ones that are solely for battle.
I am sick of running already at level 35, I don’t want mounts like in other mmos where its a 1 button press and insta spawn but a more realistic approach of an animal you have to care for and that can be killed by PvP or other mobs. It will add to the immersion for role players too.
Also, I see every other animal in game like pigs, cows etc but no horse! It is not for me to argue about balance in game, that is amazon job, my job is to suggest what I would like in game to keep me playing.
I completely agree, I think travel and travel balance is one thing they’ve nailed. The slower travel speed, travel actually being meaningful, players not just zooming past each other - the whole game is balanced around a lack of mounts and it would be a real shame to lose that.
I also don’t want any changes to Azoth and the Azoth cost for teleporting. I think it’s balanced quite well as-is, and causes you to be thoughtful and careful with the way you spend your Azoth, strategically placing houses and recall points to drop off heavy resources and then teleporting back into the thick of fighting.
buena idea, agregar un acompañante con diversas habilidades para mejorar tu experiencia en el juego, no estaría de mas. quizá llegue este concepto a la gente de Amazon y puedan barajear alguna posibilidad.
I never understand why those people who do not like/want something want to stop everyone else from having it as well. Don’t like mounts? Don’t use a mount.
I hate archers/paladins but I don’t keep asking to take that vocation out of games.
What is good or bad for me may not be for someone else and that is life.
Don’t like mounts? Do not use.
In most games you play in a PVP world or a Non-PVP world. In New World you can choose whether you want to play in the same world in PVP or Non-PVP. If mounts are something that can only be used with PVP disabled then that would make mounts not something that would unbalance the meta game.
A lot of players like the experience of mounts and a lot of players dont! But have mounts in New World appears right to me. Even Stardew Valley has mounts, come on
well its easy to understand. You want mount but if you think 2minutes about how the game works, and imagine it with mounts it wouldn’t work.
Its simple as that. Mechanics and gamedesign were designed and worked to be a “on foot” game. There is a reason why there is azoth and teleport shrine…
Implementing mount for some just because they want to collect “mount” ( i read it on tthose forum ) or just because they want to travel faster would make the core game mechanics broken.
Your selfish envy can literraly destroy how the games works. How hard is to understand that a lot of people dont want a feature that can break the game ?
Is it really hard?
Mount are a SOLO feature. Sorry to not see that as a mandatory feature in a massive multiplayer online game.
You don’t get the point right. It’s not that we don’t like mounts, it’s more like we don’t want mounts for THIS game.
And the argument about enabling mounts for non PvP players and not for PvP players would not work neither because humans tends to prefer simple actions. I fear that people would play less PvP because why penalizing yourself by running anyway if you can just have mounts?
If I had to choose over fast travel and mounts, I’d take mounts or other forms of travel such as carriages or railroads as have been suggested in other threads. It’s an entirely personal preference. I love to enjoy the views, but at a faster pace would be very welcome.
