Lost in Tangled Depths
It’s a kittenen mess. A tag calls out a champ that happens to be a mastery I need. I make my way to tag, but it’s not the right level. I look for a way to get to the right level. No clear markings on how to get there, so I try going to highest point in area so I can maybe glide and find it. Ten minutes later, I’m still looking for tag/champ, champ is dead.
This is basically how the entire map is. Frustration after frustration, mobs attacking you left and right so you can’t even take time to look through for paths. It’s just a mess. I like the idea of complex maps, but this one is a bit over the top and just not fun for me.
I’ve only managed to do one story step inside it, and now getting to the second one, I’m well and truly lost. Saying I dislike this map would be putting it mildly. I LOATHE this map. I always felt I had a good sense of direction, but this map makes me feel directionally challenged. No matter how hard I try I just seem to go in circles and revisit places I’ve already been to. Pardon me while I go tear my hair out…
It can certainly be confusing at first. I suggest making your way to the ley line confluence waypoint, via the first lane you get to. From there you can move up the other lanes and gain access to most of the other waypoints. For the story, you will definitely need to get to Rata Novus (can’t recall on the others). It was pretty crazy the first time I did this, because I had no clue where I was going, but it worked out in the end.
The other thing I suggest is switching your active mastery to the Nuhoch line as soon as you can. Completing the second tier (wallows) will help you get around the map much more easily.
