Balloon rides
I shouldn’t have got my hopes up…
I expected a teleport somewhere along the line since the players likely wouldn’t be parties, and I assumed the balloon ride wouldn’t be an instance
Here’s what I thought would happen.
A group of players would jump on a large balloon platform carried by a couple balloons on each corner. I expected that we would travel relatively low since the sky in the game hangs low in some areas. We’re peacefully floating along when aetherblades with jetpacks suddenly land on the balloon. If they aren’t defeated in time, they’d pop the balloons and we’d fall to our deaths. Eventually we would reach the end of the zone and teleport to DR.
… but all we got was a loading screen.
It would have more likely happened like that if they did go that way instead of the loading screen knowing Anet. lol
