So I was wondering why can’t we glide in the older maps. I know one person says it to keep people from braking out of the map, but people do that anyways. I know another reason is to make people want to buy hot, but again if its just for the new maps then it does not really effect players who are not gonna buy the expansion anyways. Now I know it could change or they could announce that we can, but I just wanna know why cant we you going to add a feature that is only good in like what 3 maps and not the rest of the game?
Only a tiny handful of ppl try to break out of maps. Gliding would mean everyone could. It would also trivialise waypoints and trivialise jumping puzzles on top of that.
The old zones aren’t designed for them, so the devs said they wouldn’t add them for core regions.
In the point to “good for 3 maps”. We do not know how many maps are in HoT. Plus, they can design new maps going forward with this feature.
We should be able to use gliders in any map. becasue they don’t represent any special effect other then a way of replacing “droping” with “gliding”
So, whereever my character can “drop” from, it should always be able to “glide” because it’s player’s action to use (F) and gliding is not an auto-feature
It not ruining JPs or WPs becasue you can’t “fly up” but just “glide down” from higher places, where you got onto/into “by foot”

That’s not entirely accurate. One thing I saw as you advance your gliding progression is the ability to catch updrafts and the like and increase altitude.
While I understand the decision not to go back and go through all maps to make sure that they work for gliding, I can’t help but wish that I could glide off the lighthouse in the new LA or down into the volcano in mount maelstrom…

You are right. You can catch up updrafts, but they are non-existent in other zones… So all they need to do is just keep the feature with “press F to start gliding” without other benefits.
I mean people will be happy if they would be able to jump down with the glider from higher places. (Vistas, JPS, etc)
Think about the JP in Caldon forest… if you drop, you die and then use another teleport.. Imagine how cool it wil be if you fall, you could glide.
People might even do it for fun
That’s your opinion and nothing more. Try swim out of the map in one of the Ore area’s then explain to my why this could not or hasn’t been implemented to the rest of the maps? Trivialize WP’s? how? I haven’t seen a map in game that is big enough you couldn’t run from side to side in under a minute or 2? At least someone on a glider would still be looking at the game and not a loading screen. And lastly yes gliders could make some JP’s a bit easier in some parts but Gliders are trained and levelled from what I believe so why not reap the rewards for your effort? Its not like jp’s don’t reset daily so people wont exactly be farming them now will they? That’s a very weak argument you put forward so instead of defending content that’s being added with a huge fail handbreak connected see it for what it is or at the very least understand both sides.
