Vine swinging!
How did you miss that?!
It was such an obvious choice. I was expecting Lord Fahren to meet us that way!

We have masteries for Bouncing on mushrooms, Gliding on air, Communicating with the wildlife, eating the flora, but Something as simple as this is missing. A jungle themed expansion appears to be the perfect opportunity to awake our inner ape!
Please A-net!
It can’t be that hard!?

I so agree. I was really expecting Lord Faren to swing on a vine while yodeling, and to be at least as competent as he is in the starter human noble PS. A foppish attitude needn’t mean being a dunce >< Though maybe he’s managed to sink deeper into a cover role and is really E? He could totally be Scarlet Pimperneling us all!

I’m not sure how well vine swinging could be integrated for players without looking clumsy but I do wish they’d tried.

Thought of this the other day…

…then tried to picture my little asuran mesmer screaming through the woods on a vine, and couldn’t stop giggling!

It would be cool, but somehow it seems redundant when compared to gliders and mushrooms. Imagine how many vines there would have to be to cover the possible angles of movement covered by the current mobility masteries. You wouldn’t be able to see anything!

I could see a problem arising when multiple people want to follow the same path

Not really.
As you can see in the rough sketch I did in the OP as a Veteran Concept Artist that I am, All they have to do is leave a bunch of vines in the “Swing hotspot” that few will bother to count, and then have the one you swing be part of your animation.

Kind of googled it…
I typed Vine Swinging and these where the most obvious images. Decided to put both anyway for fun.

Obligatory note that vines don’t work that way.

Only fools and heroes charge in without a plan.

That was funny. His face makes it for me.

But yes,you bring a good point. I think most vines in the jungle would be created by Mordremoth

That’s why it’s a mastery.. You have to learn which vines are “the good ones” first!

80% of video games “don’t work that way”.

Mushrooms don’t work that way either. They just make you believe they do.

Of course, but there are things that need to be said when the context calls for it. This is one of those.

I dunno, in theory it seems like something awesome. Then I picture myself in this game, in third person, with the camera that this game has, hopping to that first vine then going first person mode clipped in the vine trying to time my next swing and I’m not centered correctly and fly off to the side into a pack of trash mobs that all spam cripple attacks on me.
