Guild Wars 2

I’m so addicted to being able to glide that I should not play in central Tyria anymore because I jump off every high object I can climb up and forget that I can’t glide in original zones.

I love it too!
It reminds me of Aion, a little bit. Need way more different glider skins please

I accidentally jumped in Lornar Pass and was surprised why glider didn’t open. Good times, good times.

Last night I climbed on top of the Guild initative HQ and went out on the tip of the flagpole. I stood there for a moment, contemplating if my gliding abilities where only a matter of faith. I walked around precariously on the pole, almost trying to make myself fall. But I didn’t fall. I just stood there.

Did I dare take leap? Would I be able to live my life to the fullest if I didn’t?

After roughly 20 minutes i decided to climb back down and go get drunk in the tavern.

Hopefully, someday, gliding will be implemented in Central Tyria, and maybe add a few updrafts south of Wizard’s Fief.

At the very least they can include parachutes! I’m so involve with being able to jump off high places and not fall to my death.

Haha, yeah gliding is so much fun and I fall into the trap of expecting to glide even in places like heart of the mists! xD

As a player who always hated flying and jump pads in games, I have to say this is good, the ArenaNet team got the gliding and jumping just right.

Full marks, I like it !

Excellent.

Gliding is really awesome. There could have been a little more Lore about it (maybe the pact fleet wanted to send attackers from above or someone important died bec they fall in the jungle and some asura then invented the glider.. something like that)
Gliding is still one thing i really like in the expansion =)

I was on the plateau with the chest in Dry Top near Prosperity wp, the sun was up, the sand storm below was glowing beautifully. I just wanted to fly. But alas…..

In Archeage you can glide anywhere and with rocket boots you can even cross the ocean to another continent. Of course the rest of the game is pretty much p2w so lol

I agree, it’s my absolute favorite part of the expansion and it makes me sad every time I go to the rest of the world and can’t jump off and sail.

I know it’s unlikely, but I would love if they opened it up to the rest of the world. The problem with opening it up seems to be that it would break some jumping puzzles that weren’t designed with that in mind (although many wouldn’t be a problem because they involve going up not down) and maybe some map breaking (although I honestly don’t care about map breaking). To fix this I’m thinking that Anet could implement something like a conditional downdraft that prevents you from opening your glider in certain areas. That way jumping puzzles wouldn’t have to rebuilt (which would never happen anyway since it would be way too much work for developers) and you could still enjoy jumping off the cliffs of Orr or Kryta or the Shiverpeaks.

Was doing mapping on my Revenant. I go to Ebonhawke and get that vista that’s up on a cliff. Once up there I briefly consider gliding down, then remember I can’t. Then below me, two ‘dead player’ icons appear from those who didn’t remember in time.

My Norn Revenant was standing at the top of a high cliff in the Shiverpeak Mountains. He knew he couldn’t glide there but then said, “Kitten this!” and jumped. Sorta like in Toy Story where Buzz Lightyear really thinks he can fly.

Anyway, I too would love it if ANet would open up more of the world to gliding. Would be a nice bonus to those of us who bought HoT.
