One word. Amazing.

As soon as I popped into the event, made my revenant, and loaded in, the beginning cut scene already told me that this was going to be an enjoyable time. It set the mood of how serious things were now with the Pact fleet crashed in Mordremoth’s territory. After I tested out all the revenant skills and abilities, which i may add were fun as hell to use this entire time, I set off to begin the quest.

As soon as I entered Verdant Brink, my breath was taken away from me. The whole atmosphere, the views, EVERYTHING about this place was fantastic. The new enemies added in this area, the new Hylek, the events, the day/night cycle made me feel as if I was actually in this area, fighting to help the stranded.

And the last 5 minutes of the beta event, my Glider mastery was researched. And let me tell you, it is so much fun to use this thing. You actually can control yourself through the air and allow you to get to new areas that before you couldn’t reach. When the last minute came, I set off on my glider, flew to the highest place possible. I took in the scenery of Verdant Brink, knowing that there was still so much to do and explore.

ArenaNet, you outdid yourself. This expansion coming to Guild Wars 2 adds so much that its hard to list everything down on paper without forgetting something. And to anyone reading this that wasn’t able to make it into the Beta event. Get pumped, because when this expansion releases, you’ll be playing this game for hours and hours.
