Well being the leader of Jungle Krewe it only makes sense i’m blazing hyped for the heart of the maguuma environment. Time will tell what we’ll get in the end, but here’s what i’m blazing hot hyped about, so A-net employees visting this forum can know where HoT is hitting the mark.
1. Vertical maps – YES! Jungle is erratic, chaotic, unsymmetric, multilayered and with life fighting for survival on each floor.
2. Jungle skills – TRIPLE YES!! This is a fantastic idea! It completely shelves the “i’m visting a jungle themed map” feeling in favour of “this is a kitten jungle. Either i adapt and learn it’s ways or it’ll eat me!” Love that bit of survivor feeling and the fact that i will have to learn and adapt to it’ ways, rather then just throtting on past like any other map, all visited? k, tnx, bye.
3. Jumping off into glide – that scene with gliders – seriously it would be awesome if i could do that ingame. Instead of being forced to the wall and forcibly dispatch mordrem, just jump off and glide away to another part of it if i want to fight another day.
4. That jungle themed shield mesmer used in it’s presentation – about kitten time we got shields that are dark themed without some odd gimmics on them or name “darksteel shield”… Finally my engi will get his dark buckler that looks the part..
5. Guild halls. Do not and I repeat – do not you know what this up. I want options. Like Wildstar’s housing. I want to make jungle themed guild hall and i better have such option, rather then everyone getting same looking hall and "be happy with it (home instance much?).
Here are my main flaming reasons i’m hyped. Feel free to post yours and A-net – don’t send that ship crashing down in flames when we play our x-pac and see just what’s in the box.
