Guild Wars 2

I’m really not a fan of this “oh you fell a bit to far now you are dead” mechanic in verdant brink, its pretty jarring and immersion breaking, why not just put a floor that is very far down? it makes even less sense since there are masterys to fly forever technically, and yet you will die if u fly over one of these bottomless sections? just silly. Please think about adding a floor, doesn’t need to be anything amazing down there, maybe a creature or 2 and some way to walk back up, ofc we can use wps to speed that up anyway, it would just feel more of a solid experience.

I thought it would be more like gliding in Archeage or Aion but nope. It does look and feel strange having a whole zone in the trees and mountains.

There is no floor because under this map is another map, we are playing at the top of this area

Then in that case I should fly down into the other map, that would be the logical thing to happen, I would understand if we are dieng now because the other map has not been implemented, but if we die like this when it is implemented in the expansion, I will not be impressed at all.

That’s just speculation though. We don’t know if there’s another map or not.

It’s too early to know if this is how it will be in the final map or not. There isn’t a floor because they haven’t finished the map yet. Only the devs know what they are going to do with it.

Maybe we can we have to wait and see.

It is confirmed that all maps have 3 different layers: top, ground and underground.

As others have stated. It’s a demo. The area is heavily sectioned off. So they can’t let your dying body go into a map they aren’t ready to show off or test.

It seems very likely indeed that there is another map below. It is how it is announced. Also, you go from a well detailed terrain into total blackness, where you die. So it seems that the layers below are not there yet and you fall death on a floor of blackness.

I highly doubt that falling will take you to the map below. That would be far more jarring and frustrating than death. Just imagine the complaints—"I fell, and when I tried to get back to what I was doing, the map was full!"
