Of course they are, quaggans are awesome.
It will be focusing on the Norn and the Charr, as it will be taking place in Wayfarer Foothills and Diessa Plateau. At least that's what I got out of the information page.

I guess most people will hate me then I say this, but I'm starting to dislike quaggan, because they are freaking everywhere. :/

But yeah I ment that part about the focus on Norn and Charr more in a sense that we get to know more about their history, like we did for the humans in Orr.

just something for the people who believe in mounts (as horses), dragons (as Jormag and Primordus) or Cantha:

I'm holding out hope for the next two updates. The fact that they're working on fixing their current game is great, but it makes me wonder what they've got planned for the future. Will this be a case of one step forwards, two steps back? Is it enough to bring the players back in who have already achieved everything?

The one thing that I'm REALLY hoping for sometime soon is the Fractals update where you can pretty much group with anyone and advance. Hell, if they do the world rewards better, I might even play my other characters!

No silly.. Charrs cant mount the unicorns. They clearly said no mounts. They will probably be pets for the ranger class!

What are the odds that in this story, that a certain tree will be frozen and then burned? Could the title be a spoiler to something that we all want to happen to a certain, glory stealing, green vegetable?

A man can only hope.

Im sure glad nobody brought up the fact that technically we're still in pre-launch cos most of the prelaunch promised features are still to be implemented...

anet has been secretly working on a new stage of game development called gamma where they continue to try random new ideas on the post-beta game world before launching new pay-for and grind items to use as filler cos they weren't able to meet their own expectations in game design due to problems at the game-engine stage...

while some may see this as trolling, im actually just troll baiting cos it's fun to use your imagination to bridge gaps in the knowledge...

coming in a future update: quaggans enslaved as mounts and real quaggan skin premium backpack!!

Don't hurt Mother Tree! Just burn the glory-stealing Necro! I'll help.

Interesting that they are using a horse on their Facebook banner for the event btw..

That IS interesting! Especially since a few years ago an ANet person said there were no horses anywhere in their world because that particular sort of creature evolved as centaurs instead. (So everyone uses dolyaks instead of horses.)

Anyway, I'm really excited about the 30 new ascended amulets! After getting rings for all my characters I'm ready to work toward something new.

No I am not thinking about mounts. I simply think that it is a bit weird to use a picture of an animal that have not been seen in the world for over 250 years.

Caithe, Rytlock and Logan see horses in Edge of Destiny. We have no idea where those horses are except that it's on a plain somewhere and is somehow connected to the pre-EOTN asura gate network, however.

Fun piece of internet trivia - the term 'trolling' originally referred to fishing for responses and had nothing to do with Scandinavian mythology at all. Thus, baiting for trolls is essentially a form of trolling itself.

It'd be more accurate to simply acknowledge that you had tongue planted firmly in cheek and leave it at that.

Accuracy in comedy is for the perception of the audience. I think most people will get that my entire post is tongue in cheek.

I really like how anet are approaching updates to the game. It can't be easy to roll out such things on a huge scale and im quite surprised by the volume of changes being rolled out for what is estimated to be the smallest of the first 3 updates for this year...

I don't believe it was intended to be considered a mount in the typical sense of mmo mounts. That being said, i can perceive anet implementing them at some point if the demand is there at some future point but i cannot see horses being used as there never were horses in tyria.

Im also not 100% sure i would want them or feel a need for them the way the game is currently implemented. If the number of waypoints were reduced id consider it a viable alternative...

Are you alluding that you want to kill Trahearne.

Except there are horse sin Tyria. Someone said above, and I'll repeat, they were mentioned in Edge of Destiny. Rytlock and logan saw them through an asura gate.
NOTE: I'm not one of the ppl saying "THS MEANZ MOUNTS LOL!" I'm just correcting your mistake to let you know they DO exist in Tyria \

overall, I am excited, however, I'm hoping we get an expansion at least by the end of 2013, preferably a Cantha expansion. Seems like first half of 2013 will be updating original game w/ little to no "new" content, and 2nd half will hopefully be build up for expansion. OBVIOUSLY this is speculation. dont freak out ppl

We already have cosmetic mounts in the game...they exist and have done since halloween. See my previous posts, youtube video shows it. Anet are just in denial...

I would just be happy with an ability to /block him.  

I believe that Trahearne has earned the right to a specific /mute function named in his honor.

It's my theory that eventually Trehearne will meet with Kormir and from then on will be known as "The Consort".

Well technically mounts are already in guild wars 2, the witch's broom stick is a mount, it just doesn't give you any speed boost. Also they mention putting the broom sticks in the gem store again with this update.

"Riding Brooms" im guessing is like or similar to the witch's broomstick from halloween.

Here is an example of mounts in Guild Wars 2, some random person recorded me on my warrior alt Naked surfing charr. Shinzu Takigawa.



So with the update saying there bringing riding brooms to the gem store, they are technically mounts, they just don't give a massive speed boost or anything.

So for me that counts as mounts already being in the game and they are definetly looking at it later down the road or in the future, looking at it does not mean the are definetly doing it but I reckon they are exploring the idea.

Something like "cosmetic mounts" that give no real advantage or extra speed.

I use the halloween broom on my charr warrior for kicks. After using signet of rage for a long speed boost, it's amazing to see how many people you can mindscrew with it

True. I always assumed however that what they saw was not a part of Tyria, and rather a gateway to either another world or at least another continent.

New PvP map included in the update and still people complain?

Quote

From January 28—February 4 the regular eight-team/three-round paid tournaments will be replaced by two-team/single-round paid tournaments in the Temple of the Silent Storm map. After the week is over, we’ll add Temple of the Silent Storm to the regular rotation of both free and paid tournaments.

Well that map itself was added in the Lost Shores update last year, it will just be added to the tournament rotation in the update.

Oh. In which case, don't mind me. I'll just crawl back to my lair to prepare for the next round of monster slaying. Shows how closely I follow PvP.

I wish they would release more info about the new story they plan to add. 4 lines are hardy enough
On a side note I have a feeling the quaggan backpack will pay for the whole flame/frost update

Those are however images of the Celestial, which technically don't exist on Tyria.
There are however undead horses in GW1 so I doubt anyone is saying horses have never existed on Tyria.
