Guild Wars 2

To start off, I admittedly have a bit of an addiction with finding ways out of maps, if only see them from a different perspective. As someone who went to school to get a whopping associates degree in game design (that I’ve done nothing with LOL) I’m fascinated with environmental design in particular. So naturally I enjoy getting to places normally out of reach. Thanks to another player I’ve managed to at long last find a way out of Tangled Depths and must say it never ceases to amaze me how much actually gets put into the design of these maps, from the art assets (no clue how they even do it; modelling most of it?) to general layout.

Anyway, long story short, I discovered quite a bit of awesome stuff in Dragon Stand off map that almost looks like it was meant to be included due to how polished some of it looks even in an unplayable area… and finally found a way out of Tangled Depths.

Not giving a tutorial. :-P

But I do want to upload two fun little screenshots of some awesome views I got while up high!

There is a section of ds that is going to be added later as part of ls3 I believe.

… in July. Makes me so sad.

A hidden room, I found in Tarir.

Ohhhh, I need to find that room! Is it in the big tower overlooking the city? I couldn’t figure out how to glide up that far but I could tell there was a window. (Not the mastery point area.)

Also wondering about the big vault behind the Tengu commander….. seems like it could possibly lead somewhere at some point. Kind of random to have it there with a bunch of mobs in front of it.

And yeah, I’ve been to all of the Dragon Stand areas, and could take some pretty great screenshots of some of them but wanted to hold off as it definitely looks like it’s meant for future content.

It’s really crazy how much extra land there is in some of the maps once you break out. (Haven’t found a spot for Auric or Verdant yet.)

For instance the giant circle undiscovered area between dry top and tangled depths has always fascinated me and there’s a huge chunk of land in that area that hasn’t been allocated to anything yet. I keep wondering why it’s painted like a circle, especially being so close to the ley-line hub in Dry Top. Something special has to be planned for that area…
