I admit, Im curious to see what these are... but whats with all the silly mounts? Its turning into a cartoonish game without the warcrack cartoonishness.
Thats an odd statement considering that Brad McQuaid was an open critic of (what he considered) World of Warcraft's simplistic design.
And further, these mounts have existed in the game long before open beta.
The idea behind these mounts (and many more that they have not released yet) is that if you see a creature in the world that looks like you could ride it - you probably can.
Youre reading more in to my statement than whats there really... it just struck me as kinda cartoony to be able to ride nearly anything for some reason. And what better example than the grandmother of all cartoony games? xD
"they're just mobs turned into mounts, bit of a cop out if you ask me."
haha seriously that's so stupid.
would you prefer they invented some entirely different specialized race of animal bred purely to be a mount? Or would you prefer to see a mob that you liked while fighting, and think 'oh, i'd like to ride that' and actually do it.
Yeah, a cop out, I mean who wants diversity and choice?!
It's totally lazy of the devs to make mounts out of realistic creatures. I mean, I want to ride a giant wedge of cheese and should be allowed to do it! Shame on those devs, shame. on. them!
Just another reason i have left Vanguard and i was a supporter of this game .. But each update performance gets better (and thats great) .. But they ruin another part of the game faction in faction out ,class changes ... portal system weee i want insta travel... freakin crybabies .. Boats and mounts are becoming useless.. and then this ... what a freakin mess ..And wheres the ^&$*$ fishing at.... They could have actually done something decent with this mount idea by adding new horses thru quest and Diplo like clydesdales and painted ponies Draft horses ... More saddle and tack designs for questing and Diplo ..But noooo we get we World of ^%$^$ing Neopets .. makes me wanna throw up in my mouth ... Really was a lazy way out to try and do anything at all instead of something that really makes a difference... Way to screw up another world Sony ....

ok now you are being stupid, its a game...they could of added new types of horses or at least make the mounts look like mounts not just regular mobs...maybe i can get an orc mount next update.
they could of designed the mounts differently to the monster that you fight..you have to work to get one so the least they could do is make them look cool..come on a turtle mount, that sucks.
God Vanguard is sooo generic and ugly, I don't understand how anyone can be exited for that I mean they don't even look like they have saddles or anything..... just a badly modeled character sitting on a mob in a badly ccreated barren bland world.

why?? It doesn't work like that with pets in WoW and no-one complains about that. If you catch an animal it doesn't magically change... Why do they have to be any different to mobs, as the sellers are effectively selling the monsters that they have caught.

lol, i'd be interested to see the world of whatever game you play if vanguard's is 'bland' and 'badly created'
Are any of them faster then my bard with an all out speedsong going?
I just returned and i have a horse and all but it is slooooow compared to a drum..
Actually is there a mount at all in the game that can match a bard on foot?
I like mounts, but I am not going to use one if it is slower then my running speed.
And no, this is not a petition to lower bard speed buffs.

They're not pets they are mounts, big difference. mounts in wow do not look like mobs..how is a pet and a mount the same thing? it makes sense for a pet to look like a mob since you tame it from the wild by using an ability. mounts are achievements and should look better than a regular mob.

Typical, it makes sense that I'm talking to ronan32... ugh.
you're not going to buy the game so stop complaining. I like realistic mounts, if you want to ride a flying calculator or a galloping piece of cake then make your own game, SOE being the evil bastard it, isn't going to change to suit you.
I haven't fought a Rhino yet tho? Where is the crazied rhinos? Another type of horse? LOL!!! A horse with 6 legs? erm....Fire flames coming from an undead horse? Oh yer thats in WoW.

What's more lazy is that they couldn't be bothered to fit reins, mount armor and a saddle on each those.

cartoony to ride every creature in the game??
how is that in the slightest bit cartoony?
If anything it's closer to real life than cartoon world (apart from the initial creatures)
but I don't get what you're talking about. explain how it is cartoony?

Hello!
they're just mobs turned into mounts, bit of a cop out if you ask me.
When there's no new content, people complain. When there is, people will still find something to complain about.

hahah.
well...'realistic creatures' is a bit far =p
but yeah, when am I going to be able to ride my very own flying cups of tea in an MMORPG???!!!
stupid cop out developpers, I HATE SOE, why do they have to ruin everythhing?!?!
(I love SOE really)
----------------
Hello!
Well let's face it...a giant turtle or a wyfern is much more feasible than a mountable pair or tweezers.
OMG MORE MOUNTS. MORE WAYS TO RUN AROUND IN CIRCLES AND LOOK AT THE BEAUTIFUL WORLD WITHOUT ACTUALLY DOING ANYTHING. YAY
but honestly, that's pretty cool. just wish they would fix the more urgent issues first.
GU6 my friend, GU6

"waaah waaah waaah I don't even play this game but for some reason I'm worried about the mounts in it."
That's all I'm getting from all you VG bashers
And about the people hating on the turtle mount.. why?? Turtle mount is freakin' awesome! I'm totally getting one on my Dread Knight!

I hadn't seen that before, time to start considering what I want haha =p

Hello!
The Raki one is great, its a giant Murlok!
What's more lazy is that they couldn't be bothered to fit reins, mount armor and a saddle on each those.
Games I've played/tried out:WAR, LOTRO, Tabula Rasa, AoC, EQ1, EQ2, WoW, Vangaurd, FFXI, D&DO, Lineage 2, Saga Of Ryzom, EvE Online, DAoC, Guild Wars,Star Wars Galaxies, Hell Gate London, Auto Assault, Grando Espada ( AKA SoTNW ), Archlord, CoV/H, Star Trek Online, APB, Champions Online, FFXIV, Rift Online, GW2.
Game(s) I Am Currently Playing:
GW2 (+LoL and BF3)
Not really sure if this is sarcastic...but WoW doesn't have mount armour or saddles, or at least not customizable ones.
I'm not really sure how they could fit a saddle on a giant wedge of cheese though =p
