This was excellent, thanks. GW2 really did a great job when it comes to land and flying mounts. Flying, in particular, is not just "floating" in all directions without momentum and gravity, it really is about struggling to take height, accelerating in free fall, using the momentum to gain height again, riding the wind with open wings, etc. It's exhilarating.
I agree with everyone that your editing and transitions was great, but your control of the griffon, especially in tight spaces, is also really great. I really enjoyed that, awesome job
You’re editing is brilliant - especially the first seamless transition! The sky matching the white fade, music drop and character matching from cut to cut (all at the same time) made for a memorable video!! This gives gw2 a good name and demonstrates arena nets hard work for ‘’mount progression” within games too. Big love dude and keep up the good work :)
Flying on Aurene. Can't have a true flying mount in open world, but there's no reason not to do it in story. Make her a turbo charged griffon with no altitude gain limitations. They *have* to do it.
I'm doing an internship in England right now, from September til January next year, and I had to leave my gaming computer behind.. So that's the reason I can't play PoF, and I am very bumped about that... But no other video, newstick, showcase or lets play has left me with so much desire to play this game then this one. Awesome job man
Incentive to play the economy and get 250 gold *and* to actually finish the story (which I still haven't in HoT) all in one mount. At one point I was glad that GW2 didn't have mounts, and I was dubious of their addition into PoF, but even the basic raptor moves so well. ANet outdid themselves this time. edit: It *did* completely obsolete my centaur runes/healing mantra endurance runner Mesmer. He could sprint all the way across Tyria and not even break a sweat.

How do you stay straight forward with the boosted speed without slowly gliding down on the ground? I tried with practice but seems like it always glides me down instead of staying straight.
One of the Griffon masteries makes it so that when you dive and flap your wings you gain an extreme boost of speed, and if you dive a great distance and then boost you will pretty much stay level with the horizon.
StrohhutBuddha You can check RUclips for the rules songs have, and certain songs can be used under the agreement that ads will appear next to or before the video and that the money will go to the copyright holder. This is one of those cases. If there are ads, it's going right to Chaos Chaos.
Not really hidden, you really get million of little things that assume it's real (Not counting all the players) Only thing is you gotta sacrafice a little bit more then let's say for a Jackal or a Springer to get it. And it's good that way, cuz only people that want it will get it, you won't get it with nothing more than simply wanting it :0
I've played both wow and gw2. I even hunted for that damned blue proto drake in northrend for weeks. I cam definitely say, this gryphon flies NOTHING like any of the WoW mounts. Wow mounts are just pretty looking flying speed enhancements. Gw2 mounts have weight, momentum, personality. You can FEEL them respond to you when you turn and accelerate. They feel alive. This flying mount in gw2 is something else. Its not just about holding space bar to get altitude. You need to give up altitude to get momentum and sacrifice that to go higher. Wow has nothing on this. This IS flight.

Best gold sink in any game. Went from never playing GW2 again to ONLY playing gw2 now.
I agree with everyone that your editing and transitions was great, but your control of the griffon, especially in tight spaces, is also really great.
I really enjoyed that, awesome job
Beautiful editing! Really enjoyed it.
I agree, this was gorgeous! ♥
that griffon sound at the end
Enjoying this Game everytime i'm online. Pretty beautiful to see this world from above
WoW can learn a thing or two from these mounts
Loving the cuts, great music choice! Really delivers the euphoria
WE ALL agree that GW2 path of fire is simple fantastic ! (and this video too =)
This is a beautiful work of art. Beyond well done. Smooth edits and stunning game footage. This one is a keeper.
You should join the wooden potatoes competition :D Awesome video!!

This is honestly my favorite Guild Wars 2 video.
Can't wait for the dragon skin on gem store
Sammpo Link to source?
Oguzhan Kaygisiz -.-
speculation that is bound to happen cuz AN would not be AN if it didn't happen ;)
Well, they're making a dragon mount now. (Skyscale)
Wow, the editing on this is seamless and stunning! Completely mesmerizing... now I wanna go hop on my own griffon in game.
This should have been the trailer for PoF. Just this would've been more than enough to get me to throw money at it.
Yes I would have just started throwing money at the screen yelling take my money
Your editing is to die for with this video...so perfectly timed with the music and your flight control is beautiful!
watched this 6 years ago and came by to watch it again today; it’s still a very pretty showcase of the griffon’s flying abilities 😊 such a good video
i'm addict to this video and this music. I'm replaying it each time.
It just saddens me how so many people hear this is a "gliding" mount and that ends the conversation.
SKRUZO this is an amazing video they editing was beautiful, I loved the music and the places on the map you chose were perfect.
That's so amazing, you made an excelent job there!
Love the transition from map to map really smooth good work
People said flying mounts would prohibit us from taking in the true beauty of the game... but you have clearly shown that it only enhances it. :)
The joy of movement.
there is much joy in this movement
Anet nailed it
Jokester can't wait to see what Anet is doing movement wise in living world season four
Flying on Aurene. Can't have a true flying mount in open world, but there's no reason not to do it in story. Make her a turbo charged griffon with no altitude gain limitations. They *have* to do it.
Guild Wars 2 absolutely nailed mounts mechanics and animations. Damn impressive.
I'm doing an internship in England right now, from September til January next year, and I had to leave my gaming computer behind.. So that's the reason I can't play PoF, and I am very bumped about that... But no other video, newstick, showcase or lets play has left me with so much desire to play this game then this one. Awesome job man
I'm sorry to hear you can't enjoy it right now, but I hope you have a blast when you can! Thanks for the kind words!
Best thing ever added in the game
I got goosebumps watching this.
Amazing
Can't like this enough! This video makes me love my Griffon even more! ♥ *launches Gw2*
10/10 editing. Looking forward to more of your content!
Such a great computer you got here, it's gorgeous ! Nice editing btw
Absolutely stunning. Well done.
Wait, there are mounts in GW2 now? Not only that, but flying mounts?
its not really a flying mount in a wow sense. more like a gliding mount
Gotta buy Path of Fire to get access to them though.
They feel awesome too. They have weight to them and momentum. Unlike other MMO mounts.
How on earth did you not know that there were mounts
I'd say it's pretty obvious I haven't played the game in a while.
i'm speechless.....thank you for this wonderfull video
This video was a huge inspiration to me. I still fly the griff and have so much fun with it. Thank you tho ♡
That first Transition was eye candy
Very nice, loved it !
Man flight looks amazing in GW2. Makes me want to dive into that world.
I love this vid, really beautiful
Excellent!
We need MOAR! With music from "How to Train Your Dragon"! :D
Great editing and I wish I could fly that well!
this is edited really well!
Awesome editing and flying 👍👍
Amazing ! wonderful music & bravo flight ^0^b
Nice editing, but now Ricky & Morty is in my head.
Really well made, I love GW2.
Oh my gosh this makes me want one so bad! Good job with the video! 😍
Really well done!
Good choice of music!
Love it!
Stunning!
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel the hole in your wallet?
#worth
So beautiful
Respect, interesting and high-quality. With me like.
This is perfect
Wow griffins are beautiful
beautiful
That was Amazing!!!!
Amazing!

Great video! Curious, did you use any tricks get these shots?
this is awesome
Always feel a bit sad for Rick when I hear this song
Fuck it time to go back in gw2...i dont know why i stoppped...oh i know, when i was too busy with destiny 2 game...shit...
GG
Tag WoodenPotatoes if you have not already.

:( Too bad I don't have enough gold...
Very cool video! But isn't that song under copyright rules?

skillfull rider
What place is the first one?^^
It's up on a cliff in the Desert Highlands, just south of the north-western-most waypoint.
how do you unlock flight in game?
Is that mount free ?? Or I should buy it from the store of game ??
You have to complete a big in-game collection to get it. There are some very good guides online for it.
how do u go up like like 2:04 - 2:07
Ales Frank using either reverse (S) or mounted ability 2 (C by default) you can ascend to a height you were at before a dive.
*adds cool title as an excuse to show off griffon*
teddi bear rainbow pretty much :p
SKRUZO well done, sir. o7
Amazing! reminds me of 'Azeroth' by AJRedi
hidden mount.
Everybody haves it.
Well, its hidden as hell :/ .
Not really hidden, you really get million of little things that assume it's real (Not counting all the players) Only thing is you gotta sacrafice a little bit more then let's say for a Jackal or a Springer to get it. And it's good that way, cuz only people that want it will get it, you won't get it with nothing more than simply wanting it :0
It even was teased in a teaser wallpaper. And yes, it was hidden until Launch.
Wow♡
@woodenpotatoes
Dude make a beetle one ... But don't use initial D ...
Not really a fan of camera here tbh.
it was only a matter of time before GW2 became WoW.
You can't just fly high starting from ground level. You have to jump from a high point. The griffon barely gains any altitude.
It was only a matter of time before someone left a WoW comment without realizing how vastly different Guild Wars 2 is.
If you think flight in WoW is even remotely as good as it is in GW2 you are either delusional or you did not actually try out flying in GW2...
No need, GW2 si simple 10X better.
I've played both wow and gw2. I even hunted for that damned blue proto drake in northrend for weeks. I cam definitely say, this gryphon flies NOTHING like any of the WoW mounts.
