Guild Wars 2

Incoming rant:

I think it would have been better if there was a specific spot near the middle of the hub that you can only land on if you go through a very long route around the hub. The longest route is obviously going to the clouds and reaching the flag that has the longest walking distance, which would be the flag between World 3 and 4. I can also say that you can go even further by dropping down to the cliff between World 3 and 4, since there is no other way of reaching it to my knowledge. For example, if you were able to drop down to that cliff and continue jumping on trees, like it seems to be possible (but is not) behind World 4 from the cliff, that would be really cool. I understand that if there was a spot near the fountain that takes the longest route to get to, you can simply drop down from the clouds. Sure, but that’s why you can move them around as an environment designer so it wouldn’t be possible. And before some people say that none of this matters, “it’s just a hub”, etc., some people enjoy messing around in the hub for hours on end to see what trees are possible to land on and which ones are not… or am I the only one?

I have no clue what you’re saying….

I don’t really know what you’re asking for either. Some sort of “elite” platform that only those who do very hard jumps can get to, and thus show off while everyone else is afk? Cool I guess, I would prefer the devs spend time making the jumps and platforms in the SAB zones themselves.

My only gripe with the hub is the cannons, or more specifically the flags. I like the cannons, I think it’s a fun little addition but the presence of 4 flags almost screams “do all these for an achievement”. It’s just… weird to me that those 4 flags have nothing to do with anything. I wouldn’t have even thought twice if the flags didn’t exist, it would just be 4 little cloud sections you could launch to. Cool. But the existence of those flags that don’t do anything is just too weird to me. Maybe on the next update since SAB will still be around, who knows. Maybe I’m the weird one.

yea, I was pretty much trying to rant about this “elite” platform that only those who do hard jumps AND run around for a long time can land on it. But the thing that I also would have wanted is a platform that looks deceiving. A platform that you THINK you can land on from anywhere, since it would only be mere inches higher than what you can jump. I don’t know, I just thought something like that would have been really cool, with all the new players having their curiosity piqued when they see so many people on one small platform and yet they’re trying to reach it so badly.

The flags are definitely weird. Also, the cannons are super weird. I think you can slightly control where you’re going to land after you get shot into the sky.
