@@nielsjensen4185 I was just unlocking waypoints on that map today. I am going to have so much fun there (not really). Fortunatelly one of the first things I did in the game was getting griffon.
Welcome to the jungle \O/ There is a controvercy(?) map in this expansion lol some ppl loves it some ppl hates it. I myself didn't like HoT maps when I didn't have the skyscale lol Now I love them
Dang. I think it's cool that they took a chance and had a different approach when releasing this even if maybe it wasn't universally well received at the time. I'll have to check out that video
I agree about the fact Anet let you use the upgraded skyscale outside SotO maps becuase it's fun; there are a lot of domains from living world season maps than are already forgotten or only you can use them in those specific map. For me it's awesome to use back again the domain that lets you shoot powerfull attacks while gliding, an great hability you get on the Bloodstone Fen map from Living World season 3 I hope you keep having fun.
Skyscale is awesome and regarding Griffon remeber that core Griffon without masteries is not that fun. Once you level it up and learn mechanics how to gain momentum while flying, that's when the fun begins. When I got my Griffon first I had no idea how to use it. About year later, I saw a video on YT when someone did some tricks in while flying on HoT maps and I have realised how dumb I was. So yeah Griffon in the end can be much fun :)
Great to have the skyscale unlocked. Im sure it must be a great experience to play the game as intended but you can make your own end game and having the skyscale is an huge upgrade to enjoy that. grats
Agreed. I played HOT on foot when i started and i enjoyed it but it also frustrated me to no end every time i got lost and saw everyone else simply flying over my head. If given the choice i'd have gotten the skyscale first, as well. I do advice, however, enjoying each map once the story takes you there; the metas, events, everything, because they are very entertaining and fun to play, specially now with your skyscale. Another advice: don't try to solo the Hero Points in Heart of Thorns, they are soloable, but VERY hard because they are designed for groups xD
We'll see. Once I get done with living world season 1 and 2 I'll actually get around to going past the first mission in HoT and maybe I'll feel different.
Man I just did these maps with my earned skyscale. But, yeah I agree with you with skyscale this map is a breeze. B/w what song was that playing in the background.
Idk, I'll agree that those maps are incredible to experience on SS but I can't help but feel there's something to experiencing that hellhole on foot and coming out on top. I'm not one to want new players to suffer but I want them to feel that triumph. If I could go back and give myself one on my first play I don't think I would
Skyscale isnt needed in HOTS map at all.Actully it even ruins impression. And Skyscale is boring. Griphon is much better for HotS map, if you want to go somewhere fast. Skyscale is so boring like nothing else between mounts. It's slow, ugly and big.
After a month of playing this game I am firmly convinced that GW2 devs are sadists.
Welcome to Tangled Depths, enjoy(?) your stay :p

HoT maps are puzzles on foot, but they are a playground with mounts. And I ain't got no time for puzzles.
for real
I would never tell a new player, in broad daylight, to play HoT without a skyscale.
Maybe after sunset on Halloween, but not in broad daylight.
lol

Thanks for letting me know so I set my expectations. Can't wait tho

Yes. Heart of Thorns pre-mounts was a nightmare.
AS IT WAS MEANT TO BE. XD
Definitely should have played through it once without the skyscale imo.

Onwards to story then, woohoo. :)
Yeah I might as well get invested in what's actually happening in the world lol

+I'll never not find it hilarious that Anet the creator of the "mmo for casuals" thought that HOT was a good idea for new players, launch vets or not
That's a great point, once I get back to this part of the story I may feel the same
