Guild Wars 2

I heard it was and some people said no. Is Gliding coming to Central Tyria tomorrow? (January 26th)

All I can say as a paid for core game owner — 2 thumbs down.

The answer to the OP is yes. This link has the info.

So you know what to look for:

Major Seasonal Game Updates
So when does this new major release schedule begin? Good news—today I’m going to tell you all the big additions in our first major seasonal update: the Guild Wars 2 Winter 2016 update, which will be arriving on January 26!

And right below that:

Gliding in Central Tyria

You look like ants from here ^^

Seriously though, it will be fun gliding everywhere now.

Blude.6812:

All I can say as a paid for core game owner — 2 thumbs down up, way, way up. This is going to be a great addition to the core game. I can hardly wait. \o/.

FTFY.

If they paid for core but not for HoT, they shan’t be gliding, alas.

Coulter, not quiiiiite everywhere. I got a chance to review the livestream video today. There are trigger walls in the air in places where you shouldn’t be able to glide, eg to the end of Sharkmaw Caverns. To paraphrase Monty Python: In those areas notice that you shall not so much glide as ploo-mit. (Plummet with an accent).

I did like the suggestion I saw in the No Fly thread about having the trigger U-turn you in the air instead of collapsing your glider.

What are you doing anet you need to add more balances to the game rather than those little bit of balances you guys talked about in live stream.

They said more times it was only a preview.
Preview isn’t all or most of something, it is preview of something.

So because you can’t have it no one can? smh

Why?

I’m not being a smart-Alec, I really want to know you don’t want gliding? I’m a paid for core game owner as well, everyone in my house is- my son has actually played since head start and got the rest of us playing, and we’re all looking forward to this.

Edit- If you’re saying you think you should get this content for free because you paid for the core game, I disagree with you. Most games have new content only accessible when you purchase the expansion, supporting the addition of new content. If you want it, it seems fair you’d have to pay for it.Purchasing the core game shouldn’t entitle anyone to free expansion content.

Blude has said elsewhere that he (or she) cannot afford HoT so there is a tinge of spitefulness in his (or her) wanting to deny it to the those who have paid for the expansion.

Ah, I see. That is unfortunate but ANet has to make money to pay their team. Their families have to eat and pay the bills, and they can’t do that by rolling out free expansions. I’m not sure many gaming companies could.

@Blude- spend a week playing mturk instead of gw2, then you can buy HoT.

To be honest Anet is really forcing people to buy HoT while they have the core game. How further we come how less people with core game can do, they also lose things they could do before. That people can’t do everything without expansion is okay. But don’t exclude them from everything.

For example the guild halls and its Arena, it’s okay that they can’t upgrade or decorate it in any way. But not even joining in to fight against or with guild mates? And there is no way anymore that core players get the guild buff, which they could pre HoT. HoT is getting their gold and effort and get less and less back as result.

I recently “recruited” my oldest child (I say ‘child’, she’s well into her 20’s and married!), my daughter, into the game. She plays a few other online games, and not being sure this is gonna be her cup of tea, I recommended the free version. She recently hit 80. We all got her all set up through-out her leveling experience with gear, food, showing her where level appropriate bosses were, etc.

When she started playing, she brought a friend she’d met in a another game with her. It turns out he is severely autistic (he is in his 20’s too)and my daughter just has a knack for making him socialize and want to be outside his regular comfort zones. In the other games he plays, people often tease him, and my daughter has sort of become his protector and friend. We found he had a love for Quaggans and choir bells and I sent him all the permanent Quaggan potions I had and an unbreakable bell. He was just thrilled. When he hit 80, me and my family set him up in a full set of rare gear (with the superior runes to go into it) with accessories to match and some nice metal shaded rare dyes to go with it. I got him an exotic greatsword and the sigils to go in it too. It wasn’t alot but he was over the moon. He was so excited with being able to go out and adventure. I’m currently putting together en exotic Scallywag set for him. He’s a nice kid.
Tyria is simply lovely. I bet it truly is magical through the eyes of someone with autism, he really is amazed with all the stuff he is doing in game. He just adores it.

We’d been putting my daughters gear together for abit, so she’s all set up in exotic gear/weapons. She recently discovered Dry Top and the Silverwastes and there is so much more she hasn’t seen. She is in no rush to get the expansion, there is much yet for her to see.

For those feeling like they took stuff from you, I get it, I’m a small guild.. All I can say is, continue to speak up and voice your displeasure in things that don’t make you happy. I do, and I’m sure I drive ANet insane, but know what? As a customer, so long as I’m not being nasty and disrespectful, I feel that’s okay. Perhaps you’ll be the voice they hear that prompts a change.
