Guild Wars 2

Note: Yes, they have both been around for quite some time and I’m late to the party. Story of my life. LOL I have a lot going on in my personal life, and look forward to going in game and getting lost in it. To that end..

First let me say, to the person or persons responsible for the Guilded Hollow themed Guild Halls, may Dwayna smile on you every day of your life. I don’t have the words to express how much I enjoy exploring ours. We’re nearing 40 and can’t wait for the “Forgotten city” part to open up. Guildies are having a blast making and playing on our custom jump puzzles, one leads all the way to the top of the tree at the top of the GH. I refer to it as “omg MOMMY” high, to those considering trying it (with a guild of over 170+ Mesmers JP’s are our playground ). Again, many, many thanks for the work that went into it.

Second Gliding. I have way too much fun gliding. Sometimes I get to places umm, shall we say not on the daily route. I love exploring, so much I have to be pushed to do missions, I’d rather explore and glide. In combat I’m much like a cat, I always seek the highest vantage point to fight from (In my defense being a Mesmer and using Spatial, the further away from the enemy the better right? lol) . Recently I joined in the vine event and found we can attack while gliding. Sooooo cool! I really hope this is permitted more. (Is it already, if so where?)

These two facets really make my day. Going off a cliff and gliding.. forgetting my cares for a bit. Landing and helping someone, and then moving on. Come on, that is as close to being a super hero as most of us will get

Again, Many, Many thanks.

Two other places: Bloodstone Fen, once you do enough story to get one alt there and then gather enough unbound magic (done by gliding through bubbles in the air, mostly, you’ll love it) to buy the skills, you get 5 aerial skills. Long range zap to the ground, long range aoe to the ground, long range heal/regen field on the ground, evasive roll in the air that gives you regen, and a high speed long range dash.

Then when you do the story to get into Lake Doric (current LS), if you glide over jade cannons (via riding a ley line to them and then using the updraft by them, or by finding a way to glide into the updraft from elsewhere, the Bloodstone Fen air combat skills are available to blast the cannon, though the White Mantle defending the cannon will murder you faster than you can use the 4 skill so you’ll have to drop down eventually to finish the fight.

edit: Oh, and I think there is some use to gliding in raids, mostly for evasion rather than assault, though it’s a necessary way to get to some places in the raid maps.

omg… WANT! Just mastered Chrono, new horizons! Working on Stealth Gliding currently.

Oh, a slight addendum. Dry dock. This is the closest I can find to the Festival of the 4 winds (Which I dearly miss, it was Mesmer Heaven). So cool, I have spent hours in there just climbing and jumping.. Soo cool..
