Devs should add mounts

[ketamina]

I've played Palia for 20hrs and reall enjoyed it, but the only thing I dislike is running from one side of the map to another. Honestly I would like to use a mount to do this. This running is just a waste of time and making me a little impatient, esspecialy because NPCs have their own harmonogram. What do you think?

maybe if the world was at least double or triple the size it is now, but as of right now there's no point in bothering with mounts, it's just too small and not a seamless transition from one section of the map to the others.

I disagree. When I was playing, 2/4 of my gameplay was wasted because of running. I know you can collect things on the way, but sometimes I have other more important things to do. Also, not everyone have time to play a game when you waste many of it just by running.

you can cover the span of an entire section of the map (Kilima Valley, Bahari Bay) in literally two minutes, even less once you learn to optimize your routes and even less than that if you use the fast travel.

Add in a mount that's double or more the speed of the player and by the time you called the mount, mounted, got to where you wanted to go, and dismounted it's be the same time if not longer than if you just ran there.

Probably pretty low on the priority list as they can't immediately monetize them.

[Asenath]

Just use the quick travel stables.

[Hallothwen]

They've got the fast travel stables to help with this already. Mounts would be neat but at the same time I'd rather they work on more story & quests than a thing that some people might run around riding for a slight speed boost

something tells me op hasnt figure out theres fast travel yet, and you can easily run form one side of the map to the other in just a few min.

I dont see any reason for mount in this game.

Eventually they could add a food that add a buff speed, to go along the fishing buff food that already exist.

But a mount would be overkill.

Nah, I know about fast travel and I use this often, but I prefer to use a mount. The thing I love in MMORPG games are mounts (and pets). Running is just boring:/

While I do agree running can be tedious, for the time being I think mounts should be low priority. With the grindy end game we have currently it is rather boring. I want more gatherables and stuff to hunt (no more fish, please, I really hate that mechanic (also, sorry if I just yucked someone else's yum)), new maps, a lot more quests. A handful more good sized maps down the line and a mount would probably be interesting.

Give me a huge expansive map with tons of things to explore / natural beauty and a mount and I'd completely forget about doing anything else for a long time, so I'm right there with you on loving mounts in games.

Unfortunately there is nothing big or expansive, or even all that interesting to bother exploring in Palia, at least right now. Honestly I've played games where just the starter area was as big as the entirety of the Palia map.

[MadDawg2552]

I'd also like mounts in the game, though not for the same reason as the OP.

[tkharmony]

mounts make absolutely no sense in this game-- people sprinting through areas where rare bugs spawn is already a big problem if you are the one who joined more recently and don't already have your star quality bug. This is supposed to be relaxed, chill, considerate and mounts would do the opposite,

[Karthul]

What did you think the romance option is there for?

[Artemis]

Palia is a really cozy game that slows you down. If you find it too much that it takes you a few minutes to get from one end of the map to the other and you stress yourself out, Palia is definitely not a game for you.
With the size of the map you definitely don't need mounts
