Guild Wars 2

From much of the preview material we’ve seen, the content of HoT is focused on very vertical landscapes, with gliding between them being a major mode of travel.

How are these spaces going to be compared to, say, some of the major JPs in the existing world? Is jumping and precision hand-eye coordination required to progress through the general landscape, as compared to other zones? Let’s say Metrica Province is a 1 on the Jumping In Zone scale, Frostgorge Sound is a 5 and Dry Top is a 10.

I don’t begrudge anyone their skills, but I know where mine are not, and I don’t want to commit to kitten expansion if it isn’t something that I’m going to be able to play.

And why in the world did it translate the numerical represntation of “Fifty dollars” into “kitten”

Last time I checked, numbers weren’t swear words

It reads both $ and 5 as letter ‘s’ and ignores spaces.. so you get the article ‘a’ followed by two ‘s’ letters.

Anyways back on topic, I’m hoping parts of it will be JP-styled to suit those who like a challenge, and parts of it will easier to traverse. Personally, I suck at jumping puzzles, but would like to see both to cater to both audiences and yet still be accessible to all.

Good old profanity filter…^^

There will be areas in HoT maps that need a certain skill set to reach. Much of that comes with masteries, though, like gliding and mushroom hopping. I’m hopeless with jumping puzzles, but the little gliding I could do during the beta didn’t feel too weird or difficult. I assume it gets a little trickier with updrafts, but it should be doable for anyone but those who just smash their hands on the keyboard and hope for the best.

This is what I’m hoping for too- optional places that are a challenge for people who like those, but the main things accessable to everyone.

Basic things that require mastering techniques are always kinda a bummer- I never have managed to get that skritt POI in Silverwastes
