New Map, Houndskin Mantle
Definitely agree. The new map is absolutely beautiful although a little tough to navigate. I really love how they are cutting back on waypoints so you can actually explore the map. As for the new shoulder piece it is by far my favorite one yet. I have noticed they are only doing gloves and shoulders for armor, I hope it doesn’t stay like that. Not saying I want a full set of armor but a new chest piece or legs would be nice too. Overall, 8/10 considering I feel like this was a very short episode.
I actually don’t think the new map is that bad. You can navigate most of it, at least in terms of completing the story, with very little jumping/gliding or even using the new mastery. It just takes a long time because it’s quite a big map for the space it covers on the world map
But if you want to get from place to place faster the options are there. I find the thermal tubes the easiest to use, because they loosely follow the path you’d go if you were walking, which makes it easier for me to orient myself.
