Guild Wars 2

Since all the posts seem to be pretty negative about the story and the twist and stuff, I just wanted to say that—from a gameplay point of view—this is by far the best installment of the living world story.

The new mastery is great and gives a real sandbox feel to the new zone since you can use it anywhere in the zone to get to where you want to go as creatively as possible. It’s not like ley line gliding or updrafts or volcanic tubes where when you see one you know you have to use it to go somewhere. In fact with bouncing mushrooms, updrafts, and a leyline across the zone you don’t even have to use the new mastery all the time if you don’t want to, but you can… And that’s great.

They really did a good job making the zone feel organically explorable, so, um, yeah, Good Job!

It’s awesome, yes. I’ll miss it almost as much as Bloodfen’s gliding skills, because mobility — especially on-demand mobility — is both fun and a big QoL boost.

It’s fun… if it wasn’t still this bugged.

Also, IMO the devs are exaggerating their whole “finding new means of travel” agenda: gliding, updrafts, ley-lines, rifts, tubes, mushrooms.

Enough, please.

I love it! The only problem with it is that because its so free, we are not very likely to see it again on new maps

I don’t know if its possible, but if it is I would love it for Anet to introduce a nerfed version of the new mastery that they can place on other maps. Probably where you only have 1 shot and have to be within 1,000 units of the oakheart essence on those maps to use it. This should make it easier to introduce to new maps without fear of having this mastery allow players to break them.

Very awesome mastery. It is a bit touchy to use at times, but otherwise been using it has been a blast. I also think it coming out with this map in particular has made the experience of both the map and the mastery so great. They both benefit one another so well.

Can’t wait to save up and get it into my guild hall as well. That really surprised me in the best way that it is able to be added there. I really hope that it’s a sign of things to come both for masteries and guild halls. More things should be done in tandem like this imo.
