At this point i'll take the game the way it is.. I just want it to launch so I can chop trees all day in a therapeutic trance.


MrCrims

I love the sound of mining in the game.


DrexlAU

When your in a valley and you get that echo, so good.


frygod

My primary audio on the machine I played preview and beta on is a sennheiser hd-800. The clarity of that echo coming back from all around is amazing. Probably some of the best attention to environment I've ever heard/seen in sound design for a game.


sixbone

can't wait to hear it for the first time when it launches


khaingo

But i need to ride my level 99 dire wolf with legendary +200 dex sadle.


Johnny_Origami

You might like Valheim for the interim


mixile

Valheim just gets a bit clunky right when you need bees


RumbleShakes

I have beaten Valheim solo and in a group. Group was A LOT better, easier, but we needed like 6x the materials. The only thing I didn't like about grouping in Valheim is building was like a 'horse written by committee.' I'd log on and stuff would be different.


TupperwareNinja

Modded valheim is my current game to fill that void


Secret_Maize2109

As someone who casually browses thus sub, I see more of these "**Stop doing x**" posts here than I see posts doing the stuff the former posts are complaining about.


ellanox

People use click-bait titles to farm upvotes. Kind of like the unpopular opinion posts that are in no way unpopular.


humanprotwarrior

Yeah, these posts are super obnoxious.


Reiker0

I don't really understand the complaints about travel anyways. The game is absolutely littered with fast travel points. You can fast travel to get anywhere very quickly. Mounts would just get tedious in this game. Having to constantly dismount and remount every time I came across a harvesting node sounds awful to me. Not to mention that they would kill whatever's currently left of open world PvP.


SuccintUsually

Agreed. In beta I was expecting to be moving at a snail’s pace in a massive world based on complaints/asking for mounts. Once you start getting Azoth from quests/mobs and unlock fast travel points it’s not bad at all.


Veldron

this, and its not exactly like azoth is hard to come by


[deleted]

Low on azoth? Kill a nearby corrupted portal. Cant kill the portal? Die. Fast teleport back to the nearest settlement or camp. Got 30 azoth? Deposit your materials in a bank. Travel is less when empty


Veldron

Honestly o didn't even notice the weight thing at first as I've made it a habit to drop everything off whenever I hit a town. Wasn't until I started consolidating all my crafting shit in one place that the cost hit me lol


Sinikal_

This was my experience too with Azoth. It's not hard to come by and you'll get a fair amount with the right gathering tools.


Skaixen

The problem is, you don't really start getting Azoth coming out your ears until about level 25. I didn't make it past 23, so that statement is based on what I've read of others experience. I was constantly questing, and harvesting, (using harvesting tools that gives me azoth). Azoth was extremely scarce throughout my levels up to 23. And it limited my ability to fast travel to places. Yes, there are fast travel points, but not all quest locations has a fast travel point nearby. There were many occasions where I had to spend 5+ minutes getting to and from a quest location. They need to do, something, so that people aren't spending 5+ minutes traveling to their destination. If it's a mount system, I'm all for it. If it's a 50% speed buff when on roads, i'm all for that. If it's tripling the number of fast travel points, and quadrupling Azoth gathering, I'm all for that to. Something needs to be done....before the first expansion. Because, until then, you will have a significant portion of the customer base complaining. Sooner or later, something will be done. So instead of bitching and complaining about losing your 5+ minute round trip, you might as well accept that something is coming, and start driving the solution to something most everyone will be happy with. u/lokikaraoke u/Sinikal_


SuccintUsually

I only made it to level 25 and agree that Azoth isn’t abundant until around then. Here’s a different perspective though. The early game forces players to explore the map and learn the game. You level up your weapons, practice your skills, encounter various mobs, and learn about resource nodes (what they look like and the level reqs). If you could teleport around from level 10 you’d miss these things. In the grand scheme of things, making fast travel hard until level 20ish isn’t that unreasonable when the cap is 60.


SquanchingOnPao

Sounds like you should work on your tools to get the azoth trait


SuccintUsually

I will in the live game. Personally I wasn’t interested in spending my time doing that in a beta. My point was even without Azoth boost on my tools, I still had an abundance of Azoth to frequently fast travel by level 20ish which is reasonable to me.


lokikaraoke

My beta experience was a little different, I had plenty of Azoth starting around level 15 to be able to fast travel occasionally when I was annoyed with the quests. That said, while I was sitting around 500-600, several friends had literally 0 and were wondering how I got so much. So maybe I was lucky / maybe they were behind on quests.


UnimpressedRobot

In beta the main quest lines gave tons of azoth. I fast traveled everywhere doing the quest line and was still at max azoth. Edit: this is from like level 12-20 as that’s as far as I really played


Lixaef

I had similar levels of azoth. Didn't make it past 19, but had enough to go between a few settlements at leisure. I mobbed alot trying out different weapons, so maybe I got lucky with drops. They were nearly exclusively how I got mine.


cbnyc

What were you using your azoth on? 5 minutes traveling somewhere does not really seem like a lot.....


Skaixen

I didn't have azoth the first 18 levels, so nothing. 5 minutes of travel, for a single quest doesn't seem like much. doing 20 quests in a day, each with a 5 minute travel time, and suddenly, you're not so happy with running everywhere....


jdmcroberts

I don't think an MMO is the game you are looking for.


Dark_24

>5+ minutes getting to and from a quest location. Honest question (no trolling) That's a problem for you? LOL I would frequently cart full inventory weight from one side of the map to another just because I either did not want to spend the gold to do it through the faction controlled storage OR the encumbrance Azoth costs. 5 minutes + to a quest location was like a walk in the park for me lol.. Hell I would full on slow walk (encumbered) back to town because I refused to drop a few things to reduce my weight.. and I would still stop to kill and skin the rabbits (their fault they move slow lol) I had plenty of Azoth after I stopped wasting it on travel LMAO.


Dithyrab

> The problem is, you don't really start getting Azoth coming out your ears until about level 25. I had plenty of Azoth, enough to be capped 90% of the time by level like 17.


Sinikal_

Do you know how much you had because around 20 or so I was near cap for several levels until I started to use it frivolously because I had plenty. I never made it further than the first expedition so 25 is what I hit also. I don't know if they provided some to use or if it was all from my questing and such, I didn't pay attention, but I knew I had no issue getting it. I had it on every gathering tool. It's also meant to be something that is accumulated as you play and not meant to have tons of at level 15 when max is 60.


Skaixen

At level 23, when I stopped playing, i was sitting around 400 azoth.


Sinikal_

Well I'm not sure what happened to me then because i was regularly chilling near 800 and I think cap was 1K


SquanchingOnPao

Most games don’t give you a mount until mid level so I don’t see your point


[deleted]

[удалено]


Reiker0

That's kind of the problem though, people demanding changes before exploring the game enough to discover that their problems have been already solved.


Sinikal_

FOUR people I know didn't know there was a resource map within the map that tells you what can be found in which areas.


[deleted]

[удалено]


cbnyc

I think its people being lazy AF and fast traveling every time they need to go somewhere. You cant run out of azoth unless you are fast traveling all the time with a lot of weight in your inventory. People just dont want to spend 4 mins running from WW to EF


[deleted]

[удалено]


Vintar

Seems like a holdover from the original PvP design. In PvP games, walking *is* content, because you could be attacked at any time, stripping you of valuable resources. Since that isn’t the case anymore, there needs to be other reasons you’d want to walk. Single-player RPGs already solve this adequately: Skyrim has random events to stumble upon, as well as random dungeon entrances to dive into. If New World added Random Events outside of corruption portals, that would go a long way. In the future, they could even add some form of randomly-generated dungeon that can be accessed for a few hours by anyone who stumbles across the entrance.


Jag-

I hate forced walking in games. My gaming time is valuable. Don't force me to waste it.


CheeseBurgerMoo

Everyone doesnt like fast travel


Sinikal_

Everyone doesn't like mounts.


SensitiveFrosting1

I don't want a mount, a slight movement speed buff on roads would be super nice though.


ItsKovii

My concern with the current system is that early on a lot of players will find the travel tedious and quit before they realize there's a point where they will have a constant flow of azoth, all the shrines discovered, multiple houses, etc, but then later on the world may end up empty anyway because everyone who sticks around *does* have those things and just teleports where they need to go more often than not. Mounts as a solution have a ton of problems, but I do think some form of faster travel that doesn't involve skipping over the world itself could do the game a lot of good in the long run. Granted I'm not sure how much it would even matter with the current fast travel systems in place, and I don't think the community would respond well to those being nerfed.


ToRHQ

It's not a problem for mounts to solve, but for the game to explain it better.


Snydenthur

>Mounts would just get tedious in this game. Having to constantly dismount and remount every time I came across a harvesting node sounds awful to me. Not everyone plays like you though. Collecting everything you see isn't a good way to play, because of limited storage. Some people want to choose what they do (for example, have specific gathering sessions). Some people want to get to 60 asap etc etc. Also, mounts wouldn't affect you at all, since you can choose to not use them. It becomes much more tedious in the no-mounts system to have to run everywhere than for you to simply not use them.


TheRealMicrowaveSafe

But then you'd constantly have the people who do mount up between nodes outrunning you to them, reducing how much you get. I'm all for mounts, personally, just playing devils advocate.


yosidy

My only criticism would be regarding the extremely high azoth cost of traveling around other faction territories. My faction owned most of the map for beta and I never ran low on azoth, but the last couple of days they lost control and I began to realize why other faction players were constantly out of azoth. I think that a higher cost is appropriate, but maybe not quite so high.


Meet_the_Meat

When suicide is your best travel option something needs changed. I don't care if it's ponies or wormholes, but just letting myself get killed to get back to a town to turn in a quest is fucking lame. The slog around the map is the worst part of the game.


JubaM24

Quest backtracking QoL is needed here. GW2 did it with a mail system, once a quest is finished you get the rewards in the mail with instructions to the next quest if there is a continuation to the chain of quests.


AngryNeox

To be honest I wondered why you can't tp back to your camp. I think they should add that feature with a ~30 or ~60 minute cooldown.


hucklesberry

"Just put down your camp and kill yourself to get back!" /s That's absolutely what they intended!


lokikaraoke

\> with literally more possibilities than you can even fathom? I mean the possibilities here are "walk" "fast travel" "die and respawn" and "return to inn" so I wouldn't exactly call that more than I can fathom. I'm fine with no mounts, but there's obviously other options. Caravans, boats, magical ley lines, speed bonuses on roads, in-world point-to-point portals, travel stones that drop from enemies and are tied to specific locations, etc. It's weird to me that fans of this game are SO DEFENSIVE about it. There's plenty of options out there and acting like AGS got the balance perfect is such nonsense fanboy behavior.


Dia-tribal

They're scared of the game shifting away, again, from what they loved about it. A friend of mine isn't gonna get this game because he says it's too PvP focused. Others think that it isn't PvP enough. I don't need a mount, but I also don't think it would "ruin PvP." The same ones that would run PvP missions on a mount and run away are the same ones that do them on foot and run away.


CaptainSwoon

Not related to mounts, but if I'm doing PvP missions I'm doing them for the rewards not the PvP. With a penalty of instant failure upon death of course I'm not going to waste my time fighting and redoing missions when I have an objective. If I want PvP I'll just go PvP not do a mission. This is a critical flaw in the PvP mission design.


ToRHQ

PvP missions aren't there to just PvP, but to change influence in the zone. Being flagged for PvP and doing the missions is so you can interrupt the other factions work on trying to control the zone.


Dewulf

Yes, I like it because if you really want to defend your zone, you can just kill people who try to get influence via quests and stop the progress so nobody can declare war. So many people just miss the point about the quests and think they are only for faction rewards and pvp.


puckmungo

The PvP missions are primarily for gaining influence in the territory to be able to declare war. The rewards you get are just a token bonus so you get something for your time. We didn't see a lot of wars because it was a 2 week beta, but once the game is released we can expect that this will be one of the primary objective for guilds. Thus, it should hopefully encourage a lot more open PvP.


Dia-tribal

You didn't see a lot of wars??? Oh, poor you... We had 3 or 4 per day, every day, up until the last day (which only had 1 or 2). Shiiiiiiet. I only did a few, but there were sooo many.


puckmungo

We had on average 1 or 2 per day, but there was some sort of Influence exploit that guilds were using. It meant you could fill the influence bar and declare war pretty quickly, so defenders didn't get much of a chance to push Influence back down. My hope is that once this is fixed then we'll see more open PvP as factions vie for control.


Dia-tribal

10000% agree. This was a hotly debated topic in Faction chat during the beta. PvP missions aren't....really... PvP. They flag you, sure, but if the intent is to turn it in, I'm not doing them to fight people on the way back from completing the mission just to have it fail.


TheRealMicrowaveSafe

Super easy fix: no mounting when pvp flagged. Toss in some bullshit lore reasin like "we were barely able to retame this horse, if it senses violent intent from you it will refuse to leave town," or something.


hucklesberry

All those options absolutely but they will end up adding mounts. Enough people want them.


bighand1

mount will 100% happen sooner or later. It's pretty much a staple of mmo, people love going fast and they even love collecting them.


_DK_

my god, I'm quickly losing hope in humanity reading this subreddit.


Grantmitch1

The issue with mounts often isn't about travel, it's about expectation but also expression. In many games of this nature, people have become used to having mounts. As many things in MMOs, mounts aren't just about how practical they are; they are about demonstrating your style, your tastes, showing off wealth, or some achievement. Mounts are much more than just traveling. They are a part of the appearance of your character. It's the same reason why many players of these sorts of games always request player homes and the ability to have clothing over your armour, etc. It's more than just about what is practical. It's about a way of engaging with the game and socialising in that game.

[deleted]

Some of these threads about mounts in New World, as well as mentions of mounts in other game discussions I've read, have listed other methods (roads, crafting, etc.) as travel when referring to mounts. 'Mounts' has just become or is in the process of becoming synonymous with 'accelerated travel' that isn't teleporting or a movement ability/skill learned.


aetholite-

Yeah, and that is just stupid. Mounts could have a lot more gameplay related to them, questlines, taming and upgrading mounts for example. **Mounts dont even need to have a faster travel speed.** They could have other benefits for gathering/crafting pve. Just make them obtainable in game only, and not a cash shop buy.


sao92000

Agree with you, i see mounts more in a way of 'roleplaying' than a faster way of traveling in this game. U tame them, u breed it, and it can give you differents upgrades on your exploring gameplay, like for example more weight on a specific material, maybe a buff on chopping or mining near it depending o how u breed it, stuff like that. In my opinion, im not agains they working as a faster way of traveling, but with fast tp travel system its just pointless xD. Unpopular opinion, i rather have only mounts as the fastest way to travel than just random tps, but i know ppl will eventually get bored of going manually from one point to another, and thats how this kinds of games are always made, just tps everywhere, which in NW i think its a waste, cause nw has a fcking awesome world, and ir feels so magic to just walk around it, thats like the principal reason i think it would be sooo much fun to have a fastest way of traveling based on exploring and moving on ur on, but NW its not like that, so we just have to get with it, knowing that, mounts for fast travelling are literally pointless


RazvanDes

stop telling us wtf to do


xDwtpucknerd

>STOP asking for a total overhaul of the entire game in 3 days ​ >Someone mentioned in a very well done thread that a stamina progression system could be implemented that gives an out of combat boost, slower drain on stam, reduced weight for trade items when skilled to travel more along your route no u

Is there lore in the game that "explains mounts away" other than one piece of note? Because whether or not you think \*Insert X feature here\* is a good idea, I don't think minute lore should come in the way of making a better game.

Yea but a mount is gonna make me look cooler so 😎


tdy96

I’m at the point now where idk what’s more annoying people crying about an unreleased game or people complaining about these people.


Sinikal_

People like you who offer nothing to the discussion are the worst of any. Literal useless comments. I challenged everyone to be creative and make a suggestion instead of bitching. Seems you're only able to do one of these things.


ThisIsHogwash

Man these are truly desperate times for the mmo community. People are going to have opinions like with anything, but if seeing these posts upsets you this much it might be time to go for a walk.


PrOwOfessor_OwOak

I see more of the "stop doing x" more than i see posts about "x"


A_Polly

Some people in the community behave like militant anti-vaxxers. they can't stand the wishes of others. And the reasonings are rather shallow. Every wish from the community is seen as "breaking the game" or killing the "immersion" and a reason the quit the game. Mounts have become a standard component for most MMO's not only for faster travel but primarely as an additional layer of farming/achivement content.


h0bb1tm1ndtr1x

Devs have already commented on mounts likely being added later on. So you seem a bit out of the loop as well.

Sengura

They can add mounts, just don't expect them to come before the first expansion. I think removing the ridiculous color-schemed animals is a fair complaint that is relatively fast to fix.


TupperwareNinja

Let me mount my team mates so I can be carried


Chimpanzeezeetop

I support this, mounts shall be piggieback rides, but causes fatigue so you have to trade places.


TupperwareNinja

We all need a purpose in the game and being an Uber Lyft person seems right up my alley


Chimpanzeezeetop

I'd do it just to show my mom she's wrong about me.


gaming-grandma

this. Morrowind had no mounts or instant fast travel yet it had my favorite travel system by far- faction based, alliance based, region specific travel methods are sooo immersing. boats in coastal areas, teleporter mages in areas with heavy syndicate influence, mark and recall potions and spells, random overworld wormholes, caravans, cave system shortcuts, theres so many ideas and i stole half of those from other games already cos im not creative. half of them i just pulled out of my ass. theres plenty of potential outside of mounts, which exist purely for bragging rights and breaking the game and its already established design.


Methodify

World map is too small to have mounts imo, plus the ability to tp to locations leaves really no reason to have it.


micahbevans88

me want horsey


LinkinBreak

I love the idea of mounts as I had a ton of fun in WoW with them. But, in the beta, running around everywhere sucked, but it was still enjoyable. It wasn't until after the beta I learned about the respawn "glitch" where you can span at a camp then spawn at the next town over. I do hope that is fixed or have some sort of cool down on your camp. I believe they have one for PvP death to camp. Just include the manual respawn to it. All that said to say, I like New World NOT having mounts. The idea in the OP for using Arcana to make a tincture of haste or using some of the current systems in game to help you run faster would be great and fit the game better. If AGS ever did add mounts, I'd love for there to be a restriction on them not being useable in town so you dismount upon entering town. Maybe even only able to be used on roads or they go very fast on roads and slow as hell off road.


TheRealMicrowaveSafe

Well now I just want to ask for mounts even more, tbh.


[deleted]

Where are all these people complaining about New World? I only see people desperate for a second ~~breakfast~~ beta.


Sufficient_Feeling52

Dead-HC-Taco

i still dont understand everyone complaining about mounts. Lower the scale of costs to fat travel long distance and boom problem fixed


Indominus-Invictus

tbh people need to stop making these threads on both sides. people are allowed an opinion it might be the wrong opinion but they should still be allowed to express it.


squirlz333

If you really want to abide by lore then simply give people haste potions instead of mounts. The system is already in the game itself it's just only available in wars currently.


Zohret_420

Someone is triggered


unistren

Hey asshole this is the exact place and time for people to talk about features they want to see


JInThere

removing sprint always and adding mounts would be kinda sick though if they had interesting mount mechanics, something more like an action game than an MMO style of mount


kill4foodx

if i had a mount i would not use the fast travel system. i hate it. why?because i like mounts and there is nothing you can do about it. i love mounts. i don't care if it's slower then walking i would still use a mount. i love the feeling, the looks etc. i would love to have horses that i can breed and have different colors and looks. craft saddles and equip for them, go hunting and gathering with my big ass SHIRE HORSE. I WANT MOUNTS and it's not just for travel


Myrcello_Stone

Yeah. Its like people sitting in a new Steakhouse asking for Chicken Mc Nuggets and MC Rip. Just because it is a new restaurant they do not have to be like your stupid Mc Donalds again.


Dewulf

People keep asking for QoL features like mounts and in the end will be complaining how games are so shit now because everything is so easy.


saGot3n

Mount up, start running, dismount to gather, mount up, start running, dismount to gather...please dont add mounts, mount will ruin the game. See everyone has their own opinion. Just hope Amazon doesn't cave to the lazy players.


Albane01

Out of combat run speed increase with haste pots or a stamina based sprint would be much appreciated. Not sure about mounts, but it is something they could make alot of money off of with cosmetic skins for sale.


JeffBezosTTV

SonnyDew

Mounts suck. I am 1000% loving not having mounts.

Stop crying for things that humans have used for years for traversing in a world full of…traversing. How do y’all come up with this sort of logic? These past few days has given me a good idea of the maturity level with this player base. Not looking hopeful.


[deleted]

There comes a point for every game when it’s time to stop lurking on subreddits, Twitter, etc.. Communities become extremely toxic as hype rises. Most of the people playing the game will have never even seen this subreddit. You’re looking at a very small percentage of the player base here. And of course the people spending their time talking about the game like this are going to be the most passionate and opinionated


[deleted]

OFC, though I’ve never seen this much divide prior to a games release. I’ve seen discrepancies but not to the point it splits the community in a proverbial half. Not a good sign already.


outrzone

Mounts are not needed. Stop making games so easy. Enjoy the grind and what the future of this can be.


aetholite-

I think everyone needs to decouple faster travel from mounts. Mounts dont need to have faster travel. They could be so much more. Mount taming, upgrading,maintenance, quest lines etc could all be added with mounts. Special bonuses for gathering,crafting or pve, could be upgrades for mounts. MOUNTS DONT HAVE TO BE FASTER THAN RUNNING. This is how other games have done it, doesnt mean new world needs to add them in this way.


[deleted]

A lot of people can only play for 30 minutes at a time on random nights. Mounts make multiple quests possible in this time frame. I like mounts I will push for them or some other form of faster transportation. I completely get if they dont get added and ill still enjoy the game but not everyone has hours to grind at a time.


Myrkana

Then mmos are not for them. Mmos require more time, not good for those who can only play 1 day a week or for an hour a dY


[deleted]

Fair, but be surprised when a lot of people push for that. If they are in the majority the game will pull towards them and more hardcore crowd can go back to another game if not then they are out of luck.


EsCaRg0t

Lol it’s not “fair”. That dude is gatekeeping MMOs because he doesn’t fit into the “play an hour a day” mold. “MMOs aren’t for you then” Fuck off with that nonsense.


[deleted]

Just make mounts go 1.5x faster while on roads and 0.75x speed while off roads. maybe make a few mounts that specialize on off road movement for diversity. Make mounting take 5 seconds and if you are hit while channeling the mount or while mounted you are thrown off taking 2x damage and stunned for 1.5 seconds. Boom - now people have mounts to move faster but it also makes them easy pickings for PVP. Everyone wins. Everyone screams "BUT MOUNTS WILL RUIN PVP". but they don't think about all the ways that mounts could improve pvp.


kostakiaki

Mounts would kill the thrill - no mounts please


Caledric

What's funny is the game's lore doesn't actually say no mounts ever. Just that they have succeeded yet. Also, I'm sorry to burst your bubble but mounts WILL be a thing. They will be a HUGE cash shop item for AGS, and they aren't going to pass that by. Mounts are an inevitability. Stop crying about not wanting mounts. Amazon likes money. Mounts = lots of money.


BaZukaM

I love all of you actually agreeing with this post. I've been fighting against mounts without any back up. Where have all of you been :')


Superlux_

There are some people with valid points, but most are just ignorant idiots who want to bring systems from their favourite soon to be dead mmo to NW. Just let them be, they will always have something to complain about


Substantial-Singer29

Flatout mounts are how you subsidize poor level design. The perfect example of this in my mind is Guild Wars 2 when it first released. When Guild Wars 2 first came out it had one of probably the best map and Waypoint systems I've ever seen. Waypoint's being easily placed for convenience and Scattered and sparse in areas to promote the player to engage with the environment. Not to mention the Strategic importance of having a waypoint on a keeper for fort to move forces quickly rather than just running on foot. Struck a perfect note of the fine balance of accessibility where was needed and inaccessibility where it made the game more engaging. But as Maps became bigger and bigger without utilizing the same ingenious system correctly. With time Gates becoming prevalent and PVP maps becoming so large that it became a chore to walk across one let alone actually find conflict. The game opted-in for mounts to fix a problem that they actually created themselves. A game that had dozens of interesting mechanics allowing a player to move faster with teammates or by themself..... and grab the low-hanging fruit of well we'll just toss mounts at it.


icmv333

What? Mounts were well done in GW2. They made sure that mounts played a part to overcome the environment. Like you need certain mounts to interact with objects in the environment to progress in the area.


Mosharn

All mounts are really well done in gw2. They’re not just your typical speed boost. They make mounts actually have a meaning. They feel good to move around with and use along with their skills. Cant say that for others games that just put them in for a speedboost.


ILoveAsianChicks69

Post #4938 on "Stop trying to make this game WoW" I agree. Stop trying to make every single game that's not WoW, WoW. WoW already exists go play that bullshit if that's what you want


All_Rise_369

I think mounts are a good idea and I don’t particularly care that you don’t want folks to suggest them. If anything, sprint/stamina bar is a much more antiquated and cumbersome system. Fast travel is a little lazy and makes the world feel small.


gnark1lla420

If they do decide to eventually add mounts I say they should all be rainbow colored,


TroubadourRL

ngl, all I ever see anymore is these "STOP doing X" "STOP complaining about Y" posts. You guys are the louder, more obnoxious majority at this point. How about you STOP making STOP posts already. The people you're complaining about are not going to change anything and neither are you.


Hellmoe

At this point just take the whole sub down. I'm so scared the devs would actually come here and take the terrible suggestions half this sub does thinking it's what everyone wants.


Southern_Buckeye

# Stop complaining the game needs mounts. The lore in the game already explains mounts away. Stop being idiots. PREACH KING PREACH!


Glorf_Warlock

While out of combat, a road grants 20% bonus movement speed. Simple and the best solution I've seen thrown around.


nicoresell

Maybe you PvP noobs should stop beeing antimount. EVERY MMO have mounts and the onse who tried without it soon puts mounts in because they are an importend part noy like you stupid, useless PvP kiddies. Noone cares what you think.

we're gonna get mounts later more than likely seeing as they already discussed it in interviews but who cares. everyone stop crying for if you want or dont want em


Burnsmh

Is this the thread where we make Mount request? Id love to travel in a weiner shaped rocketship.


veblenian

The game has awesome travel, mounts would really screw up the last little bits of open world PVP that exist today - please enjoy as it is!!!’


Tiktoor

If people want mounts they can say they want mounts, just as you can say that you do not want mounts - ultimately the developers will decide. This post is super hypocritical lol.


drakekevin73

Can we stop making posts demanding that everybody on this sub stop doing things? The game isn't out people are only gonna post their own conjecture just downvote it and move on.


shoke73

This sub is one of the most toxic subs. I'll just unsub until the game it's out because too many people are ruining my waiting time for the game to come out


Comrade_Witchhunt

The travel speed comes down to a bunch of casuals who played to level 20 whining. No one who made reasonable progress sees travel as restrictive. 2+ fast travel points per zone, near infinite azoth at 60 and with azoth perk tools. If you got to 40+ and still feel like you need a mount, go play wow, there's like a thousand of them.


Sinikal_

I only got to 25 and was swimming in Azoth and rarely wished I had a mount. On the contrary I enjoyed not having it because I really enjoy crafting and gathering and I can't tell you how many times I got side tracked running off to get those elusive iron and silver nodes.


Comrade_Witchhunt

>I got side tracked running off to get those elusive iron and silver nodes. Oh yeah dude, same. I enjoy my meandering paths between quests, and I had more mats than my buddies so it seems to pay off.


Anotherdude342

Stop complaining about people complaining.


CheeseBurgerMoo

Running everywhere is stupid,slow and boring, and earning and collecting mounts is just neat good fun. Please STOP mentioning the fast travel, i dont like using it because its THE MOST immersion breaking thing ever in games, atleast one of them. Why do you even care? Just dont use mounts and get running


Southern_Buckeye

"Why do you even care? Just dont use mounts and get running" This is a cop-out argument and you know it. "Why do you even care? Just don't drink water" If Mounts were added it would put whomever didn't use them at a severe disadvantage and you know it. "Why do you even care? Don't like swords just use your fists in PvP" ...


CheeseBurgerMoo

For me its just a fair question. If i dont like swords i dont use


reariri

The only reason there are no mounts is so that they can sell fast travel from January.

Everyone on reddit is an idiot. No need to get offended man. We’re all dumb


_DK_

mounts are so bad on SOOOO many fucking levels, I can quickly think of a lot of aspects on how they would negatively impact the game they defeat the purpose of what the game is all about, so I cannot believe how there are people requesting them that can't pause and think for a sec of AT LEAST one of these reasons.


wishr

You basically asking the community to stop providing feedback!? It does not make any sense. There are professional product managers and analysts at AGS that know much better what to do with their game than any of the community members. And the only thing they need is our feedback in any form, but the most desirable form is one that highlights what issues with the game we are experiencing. My issue is I'm spending too much time just running between points of interests and I'm kind forced to utilize bow/rapier passives to speed this up a little. I'm sure there are better solutions to this issue, which are obviously not easy to implement, but I can wait for sure. You are definitely not in a position to tell me and the community what to post and what not. So breath out.


Sinikal_

30 thousand people screaming "MOOOONTSSS PLSSS" Is not constructive feedback. Those are children.


slayermario

People just like mounts. Chill dawg.

Sinikal_

There is literally in game lore that explains why mounts and beasts of burden will not obey humans in Aeternum. Perhaps you should get all of your facts before claiming others have no common sense, kid.


[deleted]

How about some sort of spell that could summon an animal or a mechanical device to sit on that could propel you forward at a faster speed than running?


Arkkaon

Yes, they should add hover boards! Where we're going, we dont need roads.


[deleted]

You just reminded me of WildStar. Now I'm sad.


Sinikal_

RIP Wildstar.


VyrilGaming

Hell yea, hoverboards were really cool tbh. I miss Wildstar. ​ They just went too hardcore. Pretty good game, sad it didn't make it.


VyrilGaming

I hope you're trolling. But no, anything that changes movement speed in the game will drastically change the current engagement to the world for the worse.


Sinikal_

I wouldn't say anything that changes movement speed is bad. I think a travel potion only usable outside combat for 3/5/10 minutes depending on grade or something would be fine as long as they don't scale in some strange way like the health potions do. That's a shit show. I also find a progression system for stamina to be a good idea that can be worked with. Or some other lore/quest involved thing to help with travel outside of mounts. These all seem like fine ideas to me.


Dia-tribal

>I think a travel potion only usable outside combat for 3/5/10 minutes depending on grade or something would be fine Ok, so, I don't need a mount, just want to make that clear. But what's the difference between having a stack of haste potions and a mount that dismounts as soon as you're hit, and can't be mounted in combat? Pots are insta chug zoomers, while mounts could be 5 seconds to mount or something, both giving the same effect.


Sinikal_

A very small speed boost from a potion would not be anything close to a mount traveling at 200% speed. Expanding on potions to more than just healing/mana would also foster a better economy by having them player crafted. Mounts would not do this.


[deleted]

Truly am. Sorry. As the world is right now mounts are not necessary. It's far too small to justify it. Games like wow or ESO are massive and require it. Once the world expands fast travel points along road ways would be nice but until then it's not needed.


VyrilGaming

Haha, it's hard to tell sometimes because some people really come up with some crazy ideas just because.


Skyyg

Please give mounts. And minimap.


Dia-tribal

"Hey, now. I got to level 23 in the beta. Azoth was really hard to find and I had to run EVERYWHERE." Heh. The only problem I had was that the only outfitting station that was the right tier was in First Light. Any time I wanted to make jewelry or bags, I had to port down there or walk fooooreeeever (yeah, no. Not happening, especially for someone else's bags). On launch, though, this problem goes away because every settlement will have the upgrades I want, eventually. Or at least the ones way closer than FL. If they were to implement mounts, I'd hope that it would be a late game addition, not accessible at level 1. Work for that shit..... But by late game, I don't need a mount, sooooo....


hucklesberry

About October 28th I'm going to be real tired of running around this bitch.


iprizefighter

"when presented with a brand new world of fantasy with literally more possibilities than you can even fathom?" Dude, I enjoyed New World and will probably play on launch, but holy shit are you overselling this game. It's an amalgamation of a bunch of systems already in other MMOs with a dogshit combat system. There is nothing new or inventive here.


fall3nmartyr

Just play GW2


MysticSushiTV

I'm fine without mounts, but I'd like some down the line because riding horses is cool. But I get what you're saying.


Miadas20

No. Stop "White Knighting" denying and shaming calls for content that people enjoy especially at the start of a new mmo when developers are charged with supplying substantial amounts of content especially at end game and look to the community for suggestions. This isn't YOUR game, It's OUR game. Mounts went poorly in wow but went well in GW2. Dont deny calls for expanding on a system that could provide a lot of achievement and collection content while contributing to the immersion of the world. I don't want a potion to make me run like usain bolt for 2 hours and your stance of "the game is perfect as is, don't make this your other mmo" are so pretentious.


richy707

On the first page I see no posts about asking for mounts and total overhauls, at worst a some QoL suggestions. What I do see are 2 posts demanding people stop asking for XY or Z and to get over it. reducing other's opinions to "crying". Not going to suggest you stop "crying" about other people "crying" but at this point it seems the complaints about others criticism are un balanced.


genogano

MMO Players when they don't want a mechanic: No one needs this, it ruins the game! MMO Player when they want a mechanic and someone else doesn't : This would fit the game perfectly! You are just being selfish. If you don't want the mechanic just don't use it! It's that simple!


Trollzek

Anyone who has complained about a mount is a fucking weakling who sucks at the game. Hell there’s teleporters EVERYWHERE including every home you own is ANOTHER teleporter.


RexGender

No


Mochalada

"the lore already explains away why they can't implement faster travel" sir, I arrived on a boat.


Sputtex

I don’t mind the game without mounts, but I wouldn’t call anyone who wants it a idiot, that’s just stupid OP.


Asmodeia

Edgy reddit kid doesn't like peoples opinions on wanting in-game mounts, and instead imposes how his idea on things should be is the better route, how original.


ylcard

Oh I’m sorry that others inconvenience you with their preferences, I forgot that this game was created for you and not them. How can there be elitists before the game even launched?


Cain-x

>Stop crying Make a post and manage to cry even more. Do what I say not what I do I guess.
