Hey everyone.

does anyone else find themselves stopping at times to view the scenery in the game? and no i don’t mean the vistas which are nice too.

sometimes i just find myself stopping and saying oo thats pretty, which i have to say is a first for me in an mmo.

with just how pretty it all is i actually want to run around more.

so thanks for all the nice eye candy.

Yes! The artwork in this game is top notch and the developers really took a lot of care in bringing it to life.

Since WoW in 2005, this is the first game that has prompted me to take screenshots documenting my adventures.

I tend to hunt down the Vistas, even after I visit them the first time, just for the view. That said, I do find myself just stopping and looking over the scenery at times appreciating the art in it.

In fact, I LIKE hunting down the Vistas that I haven’t found yet more for the view, rather then for Map Completion.

Often. In fact, every now and then, especially in a fresh zone, I like to walk and spin camera while I’m walking.

Walking in MMOs is highly under-rated as a means of gaining immersion. After all, we normally walk everywhere, not run helter-skelter. That’s what we’re used to physically and if we do it in the game, the content “hits you” at a more appropriate pace, so the game world feels VAST.

You lose speed, but you gain immersion
