Wintersday race

[Merc The Forgotten.5610]

Really nice job on the wintersday race track i enjoy it a lot and it seems i'm not the only one it's so cool to see like 30people doing the race.

I also like the route a lot. It brings us through a big part of Divinity's Reach. It doesnt always need to be negative possitive things also has to be said. So really nicely done!

I also like that there's a non-mount achievement and non-PoF owners can 'rent' a mount for the race.

They learned from Halloween and implemented good changes. I'm willing to bet that the rental will be a thing next Halloween.

I like that they made it so any mount can have a chance thanks to verticality options to skip paths. I mean Raptor is still best, but sure

There are 3 locations during the race high enough to activate gryphon stage 2 boost. If you can find them, you will win the race every time.

These races are the activities that I love in games. You can be walking down the street and see a large group of people jockeying for first, with the only reward being bragging rights.

I like the new race. I liked the Halloween one, too, but, I think, for different reasons. And, I'm REALLY glad they offered non-PoFers a non-mount pair of challenges. That shows class.

How do you "Rent"?

The renting option was very very nice of Anet :)

There's a merchant or something to talk to in the starting race area that you can rent a mount off of for 10 silver.

I agree. I really like the races in general, but this one is especially nice because you can do it on foot as well, which opens it up to people who don't own PoF and adds extra variety for people who do. Running it felt quite different to doing it on a mount.

 

I also like that it doesn't really matter if you win a race or not. I've managed to win a couple (usually when hardly anyone else was doing it) and it feels great, but I love that the achievements are just for finishing, or finishing within a reasonable amount of time, so everyone can get them. It makes it much more friendly I think.
