I haven't experienced it myself yet but just from these videos the Griffon looks like they are the most realistic flying mounts in any game I have seen. Sure they have trouble taking off from the ground, some birds and many bats have the same problem but you don't casually explore the sky box like flying mounts on lesser MMOs. You have to take the mount's physics, stamina and speed into the equation to battle against gravity _just like real flying._
NOPE... its not .... its actually gaining altitude. i have did this only one and thought it was some kinda bug but after watching this video and google and found that griffon can fly...
This is the video that made me want to learn how to use the Griffon to its full potential. I remember getting bored with the game 'cause I've already done most of the content and the main thing that I'm doing is just mindless gold farming. Then I saw this video pop in my recommendations, and my mind was blown. At that time I already knew that the Griffon could do the superspeed, but it didn't occur to me that you could actually do all these stunts lol. Then I fanboyed after meeting Orpan in game hahaha. Thank you for the inspiration \m/
This is my favorite video of yours, mostly because this inspired me the most, the flight, the music everything! thanks to you I now can fly through the world of Tyria with my griffon and Sky.
Actually it's quite possible but on private server, AND, with a humongous amount of memory, CPUs stack, 3D memory, etc.. But if the preload limit is off, you can load all the map at once, and then watch your PC burn to the ground !
I recently got into the game, recently picked up the griffon. I knew this mount would be my favorite and I have very little flying time still. I'm not as comfortable yet to do even something close to this. Your flying gave me chill no joke. I hope I can manage things like that in the near future. Lovely video, thank you !
I came to watch this video after a whole bunch of my friends told me that the dragonflight they showed off in the latest expansion for WoW looked like this. Smooth moves!
I absolutely love this video and highly appreciate your taste and the effort that you’ve put into making it. The flying, the landscape, the choice of music, love it all. I thank you for sharing it with us. I came across it about a week ago and have watched it many times since then. I really enjoy it and it relaxes me. The syncing of the music with some of the movements that happened, I’m pretty sure that was intentional as well! Correct me if I’m wrong. I loved it, nonetheless. I’ve just started playing the game a couple of weeks ago and just got the griffon a couple of days back and that’s when I came across this beautiful video of yours. I then watched some more on your channel and will watch more. I do enjoy simple activities in the game, such as discovering new areas and landscapes, and even enjoy revisiting them. I also enjoy having mounts, and especially flying mounts. Thank you for showing me the capabilities of one of them.
Hello! Thank you very much for your comment! I am really happy that you did enjoy my videos and that you also enjoy flying ♡ Flying is more or less the only thing I do in GW2, since its so much fun. There are so many cool stunts and caves you can fly through. I will upload more videos about griffon flying, but I always wait until I got enough clips or worthful content. I wish you a good day! ♡
Good on them tho. Good alternative for “flight” for the Dragon Isles. Also gives them a chance for some How to Train your Dragon esc fun with the players, if done right.
Holy moly. Got back into GW2 for first time since POF release, saw all the new mounts that came with LW and got kinda disheartened, this video really did give some inspiration to me. Clearly you have mastered griffon fly and I just want to say, it’s really incredible. Thx for the video.
I saw you in Queensdale the other day and was too nervous to say hi, but it was awesome to see you flying in person. This is the video that got me into flying years ago now and I still spend most of my time zooming around QD thanks to you!
Heya! I am glad that it got you into flying! You don't need to be nervous tho, I like it to chat and to fly together with other players :D have a nice day!
Orpan is the founder of Wing iirc for both NA and EU she retired last year and handover the torch to Willow which was who Anet redhead out for SOTO :') Miss seeing orpan fly!
@@aSno1312orpan was actually never the lead of Wing, it was simply a guild Willow did create after Sky did become inactive. They did indeed reach out to willow for Soto tho!
It's just because of you I've got my Griffon 💖 I'm currently learning 🛩I don't think I will ever fly like you do 🚀, but I'm glad with what I've got 😁 Thanks, you rule the sky
You may will! I did need a while until I got the right feeling for it but I am sure everyone can learn it if they really want ♡ I did meet some ppl who just started and they fly pretty good by now. I wish you a lot of fun!
This stunts are something else. I know that Griffon is incredible mount with really high speed. I was yousing this mount just to fast travel across the map from point A to point B. But after I discover your videos, I was like "Heh, lets do this!" And right now, I just trying to do exact this stunt with my fully mastered griffon and learning this moves so I can move to another location. Its hard, it will me take a lots of time, before it will looked so smooth, but its fun as hell. Really thank you for these videos, because you inspired me to try it and discover a new way to have fun in this game :D
"Ok that's how it looks like to play GW2 with a flight stick/hotas" was my thought about a minute in. Then the rest of the video continued to enthrall me so much that i'm only writing this comment 2 days later, after seeing the video again on my recommended. Marvellous work, really!
The skyscale is better for actually getting around and up things.... the griffon is faster if you are already up high... the griffon is almost useless unless you already have a high starting point... which the skyscale can help you get to.
Well if that ain't flying, then I'm a Charr. I was told to "go for the Skyscale first" because the Griffon was "useless in comparison", but I love the speed of the Griffon so I'mma go for it asap! I also like the concept of Griffons better than drakes!
Thank you! Yeah griffon is a bit underrated. It's also poorly explained ingame (they don't tell you about the wing flap dash). It's a very cool mount and you can do so much stunts with it ♡
Skyscale is cool and all, but in terms of value, you get a lot more for your time getting the griffon, since it’s relatively easy to get compared to skyscale, and flies just as well when used correctly 😎
I don't have the griffon yet (have everything but 200 gold), but I'm not even sure if I want the skyscale anymore. I didn't even know they could pull up from a dive like that, and here I was thinking the griffon was just a fast glider.
I had to rewatch the video once I realised you spent almost 4 minutes zooming through the map and NEVER LOSE ALTITUDE! And nice choice of skin btw. UPDATE: I thought I'd drop this: Divinity's Reach is a great place to practice flying. You can TELEPORT FOR FREE within the zone to PALACE WAYPOINT in The Upper City, from there you can mount the Griffon and climb the glass dome, highest point in the city, in under 20 seconds! This great for new flyers since it minimizes downtime. Whenever you crash, which happens a lot at first, just tp back up instantly, climb the dome again and resume flying.
@@Karfunkelfuchs Hey I wanted to thank you for indirectly teaching me how to fly the griffon. I'm having a great time just flying around and learning tricks. I spend hours ingame having fun just flying about and is thanks to you
Those who say Skyscale is an advanced version of a Griffin should stop it instantly...they are complete opposites of each other, while griffin basically utilizes the speed of the roller beetle and the descending character of Skimmer's floating, Skyscale, on the other hand, uzilizes the surges of the raptor and handling the vertical obstacles typical for the Springer. Once you have Skyscale and Griffin, you basically do not need any other mounts (ofc, I did not mention Jackal which is necessary for its sand portal transporting). Many of my friends also say that Griffin is much more fun than Skyscale which is more about accuracy, but most of them say so because they are burnt out after the overcomplicated achievements required to unlock the Skyscale :D
Love how you finish where you started. This video displayed incredible mastery of the Griffon!
Haters: NOOOO, YOU CANT JUST UTILIZE THE GRIFFON'S UNIQUE PHYSICS TO EFFECTIVELY FLY!
Orpan: Haha wing go flap flap
Haha xD
Sadly I can't seem to get the hang of flying, once I go down I can't get back up XD
Funny because that is how flying actually works!
Hey, that's quality flying!
Thanks! Take a look!
I see what you did there
Thanks.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Griffon remains the king of the sky i guess
Skyscale can be king of floating
Both fly in thier own ways but Griffon is much more fun when it comes to that. ♡
@@Karfunkelfuchs only if you can find a high place to jump from
@@matthewbritt7485 which isn't hard in the slightest.
@@matthewbritt7485 also worth noting- you can do the springer trick thingy to get some extra height
Skyscale is more like a helicopter
1:00 the way those mini-dives were synced with the music was just amazing...
That fact he is so good at maintaining that mountain while also staying relatively close to the ground is so impressive.
Now I can imagine what it takes to get one of those top scores in Adventure races...

Idk if they are very realistic but they are the most fun flying-mounts for sure. At least I didn't found any better flying mechanic yet.
As realistic as a mythical creature can be you mean? Lol
"Realistic"
Pulls up from a nosedive in under 15ft horizontal.
Ah yes realism, the exact reason I play fantasy games!
I mean I guess you could say it takes realistic inspiration 👍
X: Griffon cant fly!!
Y: No, Griffon can fly, you dont know how...
"That's not flying! That's falling! With STYLE!"
NOPE... its not .... its actually gaining altitude. i have did this only one and thought it was some kinda bug but after watching this video and google and found that griffon can fly...
@@hypersonicblabla r/whoosh
@hypersonic blabla its a quote from a movie.
@@janschumacher1001 Just had to be snotty.
it is falling and missing the ground, that's just like exactly how flying works as described by the hitchhikers guide.

Best flying mount in any game, ever.

Thank you a lot! ♡
Just picked up the griffon, can't wait to upgrade masteries so I can spend game time flying around like this!!! 😎
Yup, flies like a rock pretty much. Also my jaw was never found after this.
If only we could fly from one map to the orher with no lading screens griffon would be so good
Actually it's quite possible but on private server, AND, with a humongous amount of memory, CPUs stack, 3D memory, etc..

You don't need to load all the map, just your current one and neighboring regions.
Guild of Warcraft/World of Guild Wars would totally be my ultimate gaming experience
That's impossible in Guild Wars 2...but Guild Wars 3? Now that's something to be hopeful for.

fly like a griffon, let my spirit carry me...

It’s not flying, it’s falling with style
This was incredible. I want to fly like this someday. ^ ^
Now THATS falling with style
An explanation of how would be GREATLY appreciated! :D
Heyhey! I did upload a tutorial about how to fly, maybe it will help you. You can find it on my channel. Thank you a lot tho! ♡

When I see people say the skyscale is the coolest mount in the game I show them this video.
A viewer on my twitch channel said this today : "griffins are fighter jets, and skyscales are helicopters". Seems fair.
Thats right, yes :D
At least griffin has longer air time than skyscale
Fuck flying I'll just fall upwards
Less crying I say, more flying.

I was debating between skyscale or griffon... This video made the choice easy
Both are good mounts tho :) but for flying and fun, I would always choose griffon.
The skyscale is better for actually getting around and up things.... the griffon is faster if you are already up high... the griffon is almost useless unless you already have a high starting point... which the skyscale can help you get to.
Wow you are an absolute master of griffon.
Thank you! I just have a lots of fun flying around on that mount ♡
That was CRAZY impressive!
Thank you very much!
honestly the best mount in any game ever
At least for me it is :D thank you!

One does not just get the Griffon...
damn, Dragonflight doesn't come close enough to this

Skyscale is cool and all, but in terms of value, you get a lot more for your time getting the griffon, since it’s relatively easy to get compared to skyscale, and flies just as well when used correctly 😎
This made me convinced to get the griffon.
You should give it a try! It's so much fun!
How to do so that when it goes up you can see the wind speed? I would like to know
You mean pulling up with outstretched wings? Fly up right after/during a wing flap :)
@@Karfunkelfuchs if the moment you go up and you see the lines of the wind like when you go downhill but up hehe
