Guild Wars 2

First, the look of the gliders is really good, the animations are on point and the usefulness of them is insane. I hope to see (non gem store) skins for them in the future. My only problem with them is that it takes so long to be able to open. I think it may have been delayed to that we don’t use them off of every little rock. Instead of a timer till opening is possible, would it possible to have the game measure our height off the ground, and if height is sufficient, we can open it, This would mean we could open shoots RIGHT after jumping

Glider open delay is intended, will get better after you level up your mastery.

I had the opposite problem, it was far too sensitive. The glider was opening when it shouldn’t, like when jumping while running over flat ground.

I also got the open glider F prompt while fighting enemies, wasn’t even jumping, and it stayed there until I hit space. Though this only happened in one specific area to the very west of the map.

I had the same problem as ekkue. literally every time i would jump, it would pop out. even when jumping on steep inclines

Actually this happened to me in multiple areas during fights, both when I was doing the south ruins event chain and when I was fighting the wyvern in the north itzel event chain.

The problem I had with the gliders was I had no options to change the binding key. In the stress-test I was able to set the gliding to one of my mouse buttons and that was great. I didn’t see the option to change the gliding off spacebar this time.

Takes to long to open? Have you tried holding space bar?
You can open the glider while jumping from a flat surface!
the delay is perfect at the moment. It’s really fun gliding everywhere through small gaps; however, I can see how it may be bothersome to people who tend to hold the jump button and have their gliders appear mid battle.

all of the times that you had an option to open on flat ground was a bug, think of when u actually jumped all something and lost to much height to make it to ur goal.

2nd tier gliding was called Updraft, and would get you boosts to heights. Some of those were probably areas not accessible to un-leveled gliders.

They could put an option for those who don’t want to open the glider when holding spacebar. For me it’s a lifesaver since I play with constant 700+ ms ping. The deployement of the glider when you hold spacebar gave me the opportunity to trigger it right at the moment it is available even during lag spikes (2-3k ms).

Good to know about holding the spacebar. I miss being able to glide on any little hill or short jump, like Aion. It was addictive to see how far you could glide on downward areas.

same here, probably just a bug that needs looked in to.

Sidenote suggestion: When officially closed beta begins (Hopefully an actually one and not these short timed events all the time), we get a Beta bug report forum to condense all of this to one spot.
