The most frustrating part of Super Adventure Box in #GW2 is that I don't have time to do everything I want to do right now because I have work in the morning. :<
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.
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.
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.
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.
Imagining a future where Guild Wars 1 skills and attributes get meshed with a #gw2 style of overworld and fluid combat, that doesn't sabotage itself and remains true to both the franchise origins and its manifesto.
Or honestly any new game that can somehow blend their styles without being just another MMO RPG.
I'm Rachel (she/her), a 28-year-old from the UK. I'm a software developer, but you won't really catch me posting anything programming related. I do plenty of #gaming in #ffxiv#gw2#GenshinImpact and #HonkaiStarRail. If I'm not doing that I'm playing or running #pathfinder and #dnd and doing my best to throw together some #worldbuilding ^^
Although I've been slacking a bit recently, I enjoy reading mostly #fantasy and #scifi#books.
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.
I don't think the GW2 subreddit is going to be able to set a NSFW flag to help continue the protest. News has already broke about Reddit replacing mods that did this in several of the big subreddits because setting the NSFW flag on what was SFW is a violation of Reddit rules. My personal opinion is that the community just set the subreddit to read only and transfer to other federations. #reddit#gw2#moderation#guildwars2
