@pcgamer When you get one, please video your first test so we can watch your first reactions. ^_^
In any case, if they can do it better than the previous attempts, maybe #gamedevs can add some smell formula in their #games in the future so the hardware can give a more accurate smell, or “official smell” (that's going to be a thing, “official smell”?)
Imagine smelling the breath of a Skyscale, from #GuildWars2, every time it breathes.
It is fine. It also challenges players to be creative and patient in solving the obstacles to reach places.
It is why, many of us core #GuildWars2 players often recommends for new players to play the core game without gliding and any mounts even if they can unlock it already. This teaches the players how #GW2 works, especially when it comes to jumping puzzles and hard to reach places.
Oftentimes, in Guild Wars 2 at least, maps and puzzles made with flying in mind, were made similarly the way the early maps (without mounts) were made: make it very challenging that will require the player to be creative and fire up all those neurons in their brains.
And gliding is a perfect halfway through full-blown flying (as #WorldOfWarcraft offers). You still have to be creative and use those neurons.
To sideline, GW2 doesn't exactly have a full-blown flying mount like #WoW. The next step in “flying” after gliding, is the Gryphon. It's very fast “gliding” mount. Like gliding, Gryphon mounts work best when you are up high, so you can enable its speed mode (which is technically the fastest in the game).
Then the Skyscale mount is the best flying mount in GW2, which is still not a full-blown flying mount. You can't just fly all you want, you still have to find ways to climb because the Skyscale's stamina is limited. The higher you go, the faster it is consumed, and the less the Skyscale can store.
If #Palia will introduce something similar to GW2's mounts, then gliding is a very good start to practice. Just like in GW2, gliding was the first form of flying before the Gryphon and Skyscale were introduced.
So, yes, it is good to have gliding. It is also a good sign that the devs will not introduce a full-blown flying mount the way WoW did.
If you use the #GuildWars2 map tiles I've uploaded the new Nayos map to my site. The update contains quite a bit more tiles because they added ink splatters and mist to the background layer.
The latest #GuildWars2 content patch is now up. Sadly, I still don't have a machine that can handle it, since my laptop broke. Currently, I'm only using a 2015 (or earlier) machine, with an old gfx card and only 2 GB RAM. T_T
Well, I guess it will give me a lot of things to do once I can play #GW2 again.
This is what happens when you fall asleep with the laptop in bed. I’d be lying if I said this was the first time I had a gaming session that had 8 idle hours…
If you play #GuildWars2, I am YourOnlyOne.4937 on the NA megaserver. If you're in the EU megaserver, you can still add me if you want to chat or send items, we just can't play together.
Kind of anxious about the upcoming #guildwars2 patch on the 26th, since they've not released any information about it and I'd really not like to see my characters have their builds ruined again, when I've been playing those same setups for 6+ years (or since 2014, in the case of one they outright removed. Again).
I just want to enjoy the game, not be worried that my characters will get progressively worse for seemingly no reason other than "but raiding."
My #GuildWars2#TwoFactorAuthentication was mysteriously removed. I have to set it up again today. No one has access to it, and I'm the only one with access to the PC I'm using for #GW2.
Be sure to check your account. Something is not right.
I wish ANet would fix the issue of massive skill lag during large engagements in #WvW. Right now it's a crapshoot on which zerg is going to get hit with crippling skill lag that directly influences the outcome of the clash. #GuildWars2
One of the largest and most active guild in #GuildWars2 [WIND] kicked me because I haven't logged-in for the past 3 weeks. T_T
I forgot to login at least once a week because of the training in my new work. LOL.
I'm thinking of applying again, or find a new guild. Before I try WIND again, anyone else with an NA guild that has a good number of NA and Asia-Pacific members? You can send an invite my way: YourOnlyOne.4937 (I'm from the #Philippines.)
Good Morning Friends! A bit of a varied post this morning as I talk about #HonkaiStarRail and the Luocha banner, #Diablo4 Crowd Control woes, and the #GuildWars2 video that I released last night.
