Guild Wars 2

Playing the beta, there were two areas where I felt somewhat lost and think a decent hint popup would do wonders as people journey into the expansion:

1. Masteries. I just messed around with UI and found the Masteries list via an icon to the right of my experience bar. I had achieved a Mastery but other than that anything I knew was from other sources.

2. Gliding. When I got to the wyvern, I didn’t even know that was a particular area where I could glide until I saw other people jump off and start gliding. Nobody really wants to just take a leap of faith, so perhaps make some sort of indicator that the glider will/won’t work in a particular area/situation.

I’m pretty sure it was stated somewhere in the previews and by the devs that gliding would be available anywhere within the new expansion pack’s regions. As for gliding outside of them, I don’t think it will work.
