Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone!

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this (if so, thanks in advance for it being moved elsewhere) but I was hoping for a little advice from you all.

I’ve just put up a video guide with a clickable map that allows you to view vista locations and jumping puzzles for Plains of Ashford. I was considering covering all areas of the map, but I was wondering – do any of you find this helpful, or is a video like this just too late in the GW2 cycle? Thanks for reading and I look forward to hearing all comments!

Really nicely laid out with the clickable map etc. and a worthwhile project I think.

But if im brutally honest I found the rambling voiceover pretty annoying especially with comments like “what’s that made out of?” “poo” “teee hee hee”. People won’t be looking up the video to listen to that kinda stuff, they just want plain directions.

Removing the voiceover altogether or redoing it with a simple description of how to get to the points would be a great improvement imo.

Thanks Rhaps!

The idea was to make it a bit more personalised from the usual how to videos, as a lot of the videos on our channel are us talking and playing together, but I totally understand that’s not for everyone! Thanks for the input.

Nicely done! Thanks for the effort, it looks very helpful and love the clickable map.

I’m glad you didn’t take my criticism as an insult. Again the interactive map is really handy, and as far as I know your video is the only one that has all the information handily gathered together in one video per zone rather than dozens of seperate ones. So on the useablity scale it rates very high. But yeah, the voiceover is more suited to the ‘lets play’ type videos I think.

Keep up the good work.

This is very helpful and well done. Even though I’ve completed almost all the vistas, I’m sure there are new people playing who would find your video helpful, especially if you did all of Tyria.

Thankyou! I’m glad people like the idea. We’ll definitely do a few more and see how they turn out. Thanks for your input guys.

Just out of interest, are there any particular zones that people seem to find trickiest or most annoying as far as vistas and jumping puzzles are concerned?
