Now I know it’s not Secrets of the Obscure, but hey! I’m getting there lol
Great. For me SoTo is a Living World not a expansion. Its ok but not is amazing like HoT or PoF
SoTo is the first expansion in their new content rollout model so I definitely expected it to be similar and different from previous expansions. Guess I’ll see when I get there
It’s their best expac so enjoy it
every map has around 60 dynamic event on it
Traditional quests are often buried in the achievements, there you'll find all sort of missions and collections that gives very valuable and unique rewards :)
I'll have to figure out how to properly go through the achievements next time I'm on the game lol Thanks!
Living World Season 4 (LWS4) is where the Path of Fire (PoF) expansion really shines.
I've heard pretty much nothing but love for LWS4 so I'm looking forward to hopping into it soon! A lot of people saying it's some of the best in the game.
@@MegaMadVladMMO I'm excited to see your reaction and story retelling of the LWS4 final Joko fight and ending cutscene.
The Balthazar boss fight had me screaming with joy and rage, this expansion made me feel a lot of emotions, like when Aurene was captured. I was seeing red for a lot of it.
This was great! I thought the humor was hilarious! I have enjoyed watching your experience with GW2, and I hope you keep on going!
Oh, and you earned my sub, good job lol
Thank you! ^^
Glad you enjoyed it! And yeah I'll be continuing, just September and likely into October are filled with Starfield and Cyberpunk's expansion so it'll be a bit. Will be doing LWS4 and Icebrood Saga back to back to make up for it
I’ve bounced from mmo to mmo after being a Warcraft only person until the end of MoP and GW 2 feels like it’s the only one that’s genuinely casual friendly. I just came back after like a year break, picked up where I left off and didn’t feel like I really missed out on anything.
It’s definitely not for all players, you have to kind of make your own goals and figure out what you want to do in the game, it doesn’t shove progression in your face, but if you’re the type of player that likes it just set little or big goals and then slowly work through/towards them the game is great.
Plus the story is pretty solid for an mmo, maybe not quite FF level, but better than most, and it’s full of pretty good voice acting.
The horizontal progression definitely helps to make "keeping up" easier lol It's definitely a good draw for the game.
Yeah, GW2 feels like a mix of gameplay and story with leaning a bit more toward gameplay. The story is good and interesting for sure!
"it doesn’t shove progression in your face".
Well, now it kinda do, with the vault system and daily + weekly goals for points to spend on stuff within a time limit.
@@johnnymartinjohansen You don't need anything from the vault though. Yes, some of the items are helpful, but there's nothing you need to progress through the game. And the cosmetic items just go into the legacy vault when the current period ends.
@@keegan6356Well, you could say that about almost everything in the game. But I actually DO need stuff from the vault, I'm gearing up one of my alts with the ascended stuff
Very well done video dude. Keep grinding!
Thank you!
I just binged watch all your GW2 experience rn and it's pretty nice to see you are having a good time with the game!
I have over 2.5k h in GW and well, I just started for the first time LS4. Might sound a little bit like a fantasy but well, the game does a lot of things so well that I don't feel that I need to rush the story. I focus on completing every single achievement for each storyline, I wasted a lot of time in dungeons and Fractals, I grind events or just do metas cus they are profitable and fun as hell that it's easy to get lost in time.
To be fair, you said that PoF is only desert. Imho, if you look closer to it, it's just more than a desert. In most of other games, deserts are just plain and straight, with dunes here and there and thats it. In PoF, you have various faunas, hills, hell even a snow part is there, lots of big ass sulfur lakes, some kind of astral place in the skyes.. It's so much more than just a desert.
The story could be kinda longer, that's a fact. But I like the way ArenaNet made it shorter so you can explore the maps through the events and quests. Truth is the metas are a step down in PoF, but you can learn so much around the areas through them. They did it differently, and even it's not a top notch, it's different from other maps, which is a plus for me at least.
To the Griffon, yea it feels like just a upgraded glider. Wait till you level him up. It's and amazing mount that takes speed from the hight and takes hight from the speed. I believe you will fall in love with it. And, I mean, the mounts overall are just such a amazing things and you can see through the whole PoF the passion of the devs. As someone said - They didn't have to do it, but they did.
Yeah for the purpose of my series here it dictates a bit of how fast I go through the story content. At the same time it opens everything up for me so I can go back to do different things in my spare time.
The desert comment was more of a generalization lol. In other MMOs, their various zones can be wildly different in their looks, seeing this being fairly similar throughout every zone isn’t bad as they still have personality to differentiate them.
Yeah it’s like 2 sides of a coin. Longer story would be nice but shorter has less room for unneeded fluff lol
Yeah I can’t wait to actually unlock the Griffon and see what it can really do! Just a little underwhelming riding them during the unlock quest
And thanks for watching ^^
Fantastic editing, great script. Many a sensible chuckle were had.
Thank you! ^^
Glad you got to play through path of fire!!! Its an excellent expansion! The griffon and jackal are my favorite mounts. Jackal bc it can go up slopes instead of getting caught like the raptor. The griffon is just pure fun. The skyscale has more utility which is why you see everyone run it... but the griffon is hands down the most fun (and expensive 200 gold iirc) mount in the game.
Living world season 4 is my (and i think most of the communities) favorite living world season. It has amazing and profitable events/metas. It has the best gathering currencies (volatile magic). The story is great, though, a bit all over the place (literally like all over the world). You get to unlock two mounts [roller beetle (fast af land mount) and skyscale (though i think there is a new way to get in SOTO that is supposed to be easier idk much about it though)]. The legendary accessory (?) you unlock/craft from living world season 4 is the same as slot as season 3 (vision and aroura (sp)) but much more fun and less repetitive.
Sorry for all the asides my adhd meds havent kicked in yet so i just want to keep explaining and explaining. Good luck on Starfield and 2077. I plan to do 2077 as well. I havent heard of starfield so i will look into it. GW2 and its community is always happy to have you and any returning player back!!!!
250g from what I saw on the wiki lol That puts me 150 shy
I’m looking forward to seeing LWS4. I loved the design of Kralkatorrik and how monstrously huge he was. Can’t wait to see what happened! ^^
Glad you are enjoying the game.
Same lol
We dont have quests but we do have the achivement panel in which you find sort of quests with a gazilions of different rewards all from ascended gear, infusions, skins, mastery points, 4 mount types that you yet might not have yet and all kinds of other things. Some are them are not so engaging, others are superfun, some you do for the reward only and so on. If you some day feel like hmm i dont know what to do today, go through your achivement panel and look for what you want to have or aim for.
You know that’s a great point. The achievements in GW2 seem more involved than in WoW and FFXIV. Never thought about that aspect because I’ve seen achievements before lol
Love watching your videos.
One thing I like about GW2 is that it doesn't just add a new mechanic then forgets about it in later expansions, both the glider and the mounts are still relevant in the new SoTo expansion, and the fact that despite mounts being heavily focused on in the PoF expansion, the story missions that come after it each also adds a new unique mount (except Icebrood Saga) with LWS4 adding the Skyscale and the Roller beetle and EoD adding the Siege turtle. You can also acquire the Skyscale from SoTo for those who don't have LWS4, and for those who do, getting the Skyscale from both SoTo and LWS4 enhances it's abilities making the mount even more useful.
Also a side note, there is another mount called the Warclaw that you can obtain from WvW which is primarily used for fighting against players and such.
Thank you! ^^
Yeah I definitely like the fact that things aren't just forgotten. Still have plenty of things to unlock of course and so much content to play lol I also saw Roller Beatles were on the Mastery list to get so that's also on my checklist. Heard LWS4.
I did see the Warclaw in the mounts menu but glad to know it's in WvW now lol Thank you!
It depends by what you mean by mechanic, in terms of movement masteries such as mounts/gliders you are correct they make use of them well in future expacs. But you could argue GW2 is notorious for introducing different features/mechanics that go unused and eventually dead later on in future expacs (or take years to receive updates), whether it's dungeons, fractals, raids, WvW, spvp for example, many mechanics have been brought into the game and either dropped or exchanged for another.
oh wait just 600 subs?! from the quality I expected 10k minimum
welp, time to binge all your gw2 vids, sub definitely earned, will wait patiently for more gw2 vids
xDDD Thank you!
Part 8 will be a bit longer to make because of September being the way it is, but super glad you enjoy the content ^^
My man, just you wait for living world season 4. I hope you make a video about it too. This one was great. XD wish you the best.
Yep, definitely making a video on that lol Making one for every major content drop. Just gonna be a bit because of September dropping 2 huge games but that'll be after that
There are actually 5 extra Mounts (after Raptor, Springer and Skimmer)
The Jackal and Griffon, as you said
But there's also the Rollerbeatle-, the Skyscale- and the Turtle-Mount ~
All I saw available from the expansion itself was the Raptor, Springer, Skimmer, Jackal, and Griffon. I wasn't sure if the Rollerbeetle was available in it or not, was told it was LWS4 lol
Beetle, Skyscale, and Turtle mount are next on the menu lol
@@MegaMadVladMMO Rollerbeatle is LS4, Skyscale is either LS4 or Secrets of the Obscure and Turtle is from End of Dragons
But, yeah, in terms of only the Path of Fire Expansion, there are only those you mentioned
@@KuroNekoji One thing I'll need is a lot of gold I'm told lol First for the Griffon, then for the Skyscale. Not sure after that
@@MegaMadVladMMO Griffon I think is just straight up 100g or something (?) yes
Skyscale is more "do a lot of stuff and timegates"
@@KuroNekoji Ah timegates, the most fun farming method in gaming lol
each expansions have their own theme and feel, out of all 4 expansions pof feels like it was made just for me. best xpac in the game (imo)
PoF has a certain type of energy that just feels good despite its flaws. Very glad to have played it lol
Man u made me miss this game.. ima install it.
It’s been a unique ride for sure lol I’m glad I still have quite a bit more of the game to get through before catching up
Great video! My only question is, what profession did you use? I’m a new player so I appreciate your help. See you out there! 🤩🐜
Thank you! If you mean for combat, it’s Warrior. If you mean for crafting and gathering, nothing lol
"Annnnnd she's (Kormir) gone."
Yeaaaaah, that's about on-brand for her, I'm afraid...
I don’t doubt it lol So far only seen 2 gods now
I prefer games for their story, so POF was my favorite expansion and its LWS was the best of them all. HoT and its imposing Elder Dragon, Canach, the base game with Zhaitan and the giant airship chase vs. legions of undead. I truly had fun experiencing it all.
Personally, the magic ended with the last bits of Icebrood, EoD, and the EoD Epilogue. That collective there didn't feel as fun or interesting; maybe it was too rushed for me to feel invested. Something is 'missing' that used to be there and isn't anymore.
I'm still starting off in SOTO, so with my experience in the past two years being tamed, tempered and subsided, I'll see how my personal journey goes with that. 👍
P.S. I'm a little sad I wasn't there at the start of FFXIV, but I will say that FF saved me when I hit a depression and both GW2 and WoW failed me when I needed to fill that vacancy.
Yeah, story is something I also pay close attention to in hopes I get lost in another world.
I hope your experience fairs better now on your return! Still working my way through lol
FFXIV is such an experience. I absolutely love the incredible story in it! And when all is said and done, glad it was able to help you out!
Alright, everyone, you know the drill... PRAISE JOKO!!
D=
I can't believe this betrayal
i just like the fact that you can just go to the newest expansion or whichever you are on and just jump into the content.
Yeah that’s definitely a great feature for more gameplay focused games as well as games with separate narrative points. I’m going in order because it’s my preferred way of experiencing a game
Gw2 fun af frfr
PoF will always be my fav because it's so absolutely gorgeous and the music!!
Downside : metas :/
It was definitely my favorite experience so far!
tbh since metas come to stay Im not mad if some of them arnt as great ^^ If metas would be useless with every new expac it would suck but since gw2 isnt like that its perfectly fine for me that the pof metas are different ^^
Thankfully while they were a bit of a letdown from what I expected after HoT, they’re still a fun time lol
best mmo
isnt it great to play a game that does not cut to 75 cut scenes an hour and actually lets you play the game ,,,, my god I could not handle FF MSQ, i HATE those stupid twins in FF especially the boy
Both games give different experiences. While I love FFXIV for its incredible story, I also understand that the constant cutscenes and reading dialogue might not be for everyone.
I enjoy GW2 a lot for letting me fight things a lot and for its incredible Meta Event system lol
