Guild Wars 2

How do I use the glide function? Tried jumping off a cliff and using space bar but always “splat”

First, have you trained gliding mastery? If you have, once you jump off a cliff, you should have a yellow text below you saying ‘spacebar = glide’ or the like. If there’s no pop up of yellow text below you, you either havent trained gliding mastery or is in a no glide zone.

First you need to own HoT. Then with a level 80 character you need to do the 1st one (or two, it’s been a while) HoT story steps to unlock the mastery system. It should select gliding as the mastery you are training (mastery selection is on your hero panel). Once you get the XP bar full, you will need to spend a mastery point earned from the HoT area to unlock gliding on your account.

It’s easier than it sounds.
