Guild Wars 2

Been a while since I’ve been to LA, but don’t remember this lovely looking airship being parked up there before. I assume this will be our ride to PoF then.

yea, if you havent seen the opening scenario yet that is the ship in it.

Is there any form of walking way to get to the new PoF map. Preferably with tons of mobs for me to kill along the way.

I doubt we can walk there since it’s on the other side of the sea, right?

Will there be PoF masteries specifically or will we be able to get the mounts using the current mastery system (HoT)? I have some HoT points left over that would be nice to use in PoF…

Not in the demo, I believe. The first Story step is what takes you to the new map.

PoF has its own Mastery system, and its own Mastery Points.

He might be referring to the guarded gate that leads to the Crystal Desert via Fields of Ruin. Still, even if it were possible/allowed, any other body of water would cut off progress getting there.

It would be a real shame not to go via Ebonhawke. That guarded gate is begging for this use since inception

I want to walk through that gate some day.

That sounds really cool, actually. I like it when zones are adjacent to other playable zones and you can just walk in. I have missed that with the Living Season 3 zones. No getting there by walking in from other usable zones.

I got the impression that it WOULD be used for exactly that. The dialogue from the guards kind of hints at that altogether. The gate at the quarry outside Ebonhawk, right?

Ebonhawk desert gate not being used would be highly disappointing, unless they plan to use it for a living story episode map …

They can’t use that gate because the Ebonhawk council has been tossing rubbish over that gate for centuries. It’s so piled up over there the gate will never open.

I’m kinda hoping they see this post and remember about it and utilize it/turn it into an entry port like how the locked doors at Divinity’s Reach into Doric Lake was done.

And iirc access is only granted by Jenna or Captain Samuelsson, but it’d likely be by Jenna herself along the lines of “As times have grown dire with current situations, I, Queen Jenna grant access to (Commander) and company to pass through the desert gates.”

“This gate’s closed for the security of Ebonhawke. I can’t let anyone pass without orders from Captain Samuelsson or Queen Jennah herself.”

There being no way to walk to Elonia explains the different style and culture i’m sure we will experience in the new area.

Well for a long time the reason we couldn’t walk (or sail, or fly) to Elona was because there were 2 dragons and their hordes of minions in the way.

But now Zhaitan is dead and Kralkatorrik has moved further south the way is open again.

It looks like we won’t be walking to Elona at first, which does make sense from a story perspective – if we want to get there quickly and the Pact have all these airships it would be a bit silly to trek across the Crystal Desert from Ebonhawke. But I hope we do get a walking route eventually. Either in the PoF release or shortly after when Season 4 starts.

I was hoping we’d pole vault into PoF.

I went there with my ranger and it’s pet wouldn’t enter the cabin of the airship for some reason. If you swap pets while inside it will stay inside and exit as the ranger does but will not re-enter when you go back in.
