I’ve been playing a sylvari Herald in the Verdant Brink for the entirety of the Beta Weekend.
While this was probably apparent last BWE only now did i notice the mordrem telling my sylvari that he’ll “serve the dragon in death”. Very cool.
And “very cool” is how I’ve been feeling about a lot of what I’ve played. The Herald feels great and unlike any other profession I’ve played before. As an alt-aholic I can see the Hearald being up there in my most played professions in the future. And to be specific, I played Mace/Axe Condi Spec’d Herald with Hammer and Jalis as my “Oh Kitten” button.
As for the Verdant Brink map, I loved the feel of it last time and that still stands true, in fact the more I play it the more I love it. I really enjoy the narratives of both of the outpost event chains. Lord Faren’s hilarious, Officer Quaggan’s adorable, and certain revelations from the D’Ord outpost chain were very unnerving, and delightfully so.
I also quite liked the idea of the night cycle events, though something seemed to be lacking. I loved working together with the whole map to coordinate our defenses, but no matter how well things seemed to be going it felt like no progress was being made- as if something was missing from the event chain. And there very well could have been something missing considering it’s a Beta, so hopefully we haven’t seen all there is to be done with defending those rally points.
Overall I’m super satisfied with what I’ve seen, and am sad to see the weekend come to an end, and can’t wait for the expansion to be released.
While looking at the official Wiki for help in doing some jumping puzzles for the first time, I saw what was called a “shortcut” in the Wiki, or “void jumping”. I won’t explain what it is here in case it’s against the rules, and I assume people will know what I’m talking about.
My question is: Is “void jumping” against the rules and a bannable offense?
As I said, it’s listed on the official Wiki as a shortcut, but after looking into it it seems like an exploit, allowing people to skip large parts of jumping puzzles.
I like jumping puzzles, but I’m also easily frustrated by them, so shortcuts do have an appeal to me… But as frustrating as jumping puzzles can be, I care more about keeping my account in good standing and following the rules.
Happened to me too just now. I guess I’ll just save the ??? items?
I 100% agree with this.
I found fighting the Smokescales to be incredibly rewarding and fun. I was totally confused after first being obliterated by them. But then I started observing them and learning their mechanics, and that left me with a really satisfying feeling. This sort of thing is definitely something I was looking forward to seeing in HoT!
