If you are I’d be happy to squad up.

    thank you babe long time no chat what’s your favorite GW2 mount. I think looks-wise I really like the Sand Jackal (spooky magic dog) but the mechanics of the Griffon? Sublime. I’ve yet to fly a Skyscale yet but the people I see hovering in place and spamming fireballs during events makes me jealous…

    Ranked in order of preference when actually using them in-game:

    • Griffon (flying mounts are the best that’s why the MMO I compare every other MMO to is Flyff or Aion, no neither of those were very good but they had an emphasis on flying mounts so you know, pre-teen ABC was all in)
    • Springer (jumpy little bastard lets me get up to high places to take off from my griffon so…deserved spot 2)
    • Warclaw (true carry. thank you warclaw. if I hadn’t picked you up by doing WvW right after the end of the Personal Story I would still be suffering with the busted ass raptor. GOATed land traversal mount. Three jumps? Sublime. Being able to sometimes jank the game’s physics and use the second jump against a slope to get a bunch of height you normally wouldn’t be able to get and use the third jump mid-air to clear whatever obstacle you were trying to get past?? nothing better thank you for your service warclaw!!!)
    • Skimmer (honestly I do like this one anytime I’m moving over water/sand or through it and can’t use the Griffon for whatever reason but for most land traversal it is mid)
    • Jackal (looks cool. kinda mid though because only like one expansions’ worth of map areas actually utilize its unique ability)
    • Turtle (I don’t have this one yet so can’t really speak on it but I do like the idea of an artillery turtle and the one time someone let me use the cannon on theirs, despite not having any masteries for it, was fun)
    • Roller Beetle (i don’t think I’ll ever get a handle on this mount. I’ve watched Initial D so much but can’t drift to save my life. I get mad at every Roller Beetle Race achievement)
    • Skyscale (I don’t have this one yet so can’t really speak on it but this is the Definitive Mount according to everyone I’ve played with/interacted with/seen in game. I don’t like this little dragon bastard, put some respect on the griffon)
    • Raptor (stupid ass dinosaur. not even fast despite looking like it should be the fastest land mount. I hate you)
