mtnbikerbob.1806 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I have been gliding for quite a while now but I keep running into situations where I can't reach certain Mastery locations or parts of jumping puzzles because I appear to be losing elevation faster than others while gliding. This happens to me with all of my characters. In many locations I'll watch someone just jump and glide to a ledge, I'll try to imitate their jump but will glide in below the ledge. I found I can sometimes gain a fraction of height by taking a running jump but it isn't always enough. I also notice I will hit the ground much sooner than others while running around in groups jumping off ledges. I have all 6 gliding masteries. Does anyone have any suggestions and has anyone else experienced this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 They're using lean techniques. Press W (or whatever forward is on your PC) and you'll glide faster and therefore be able to go further before losing height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnbikerbob.1806 Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 Thank you. That definitely helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 It took me ages to work this out. For some reason I got it into my head that leaning forward was like a fast-forward, so you'd glide faster but also drop faster, and that made me avoid using it unless I needed the speed. It took a long time to break myself out of that thinking and accept that it actually allowed me to glide further. But once I figured it out it did make a huge difference.

Lunarlife.5128 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Also, if you get one of the flight masteries you will no longer run out of stamina from basic flight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therapite.3645 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 It took me ages to learn that you can push forward and then when your stamina runs out you don't just fall to your death. You go back to regular gliding again once your fast gliding runs out, which is amazing and very appreciated (thank you devs!). So that will help too, once you have that as well.

This! Advanced gliding is SUPER useful. It's nice to not have to put the glider down and land to regen endurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnbikerbob.1806 Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 Thank you all for your comments and sugestions. I too erroneously thought leaning just sped things up. It is great to have a community that is willing to help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea that this was a thing. I always stop my fast gliding right before zeroing out the stamina bar. I have got to try this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you do, if your stamina is depleted you'll revert to standard speed instead of your glider dropping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebraKadabra.5278 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I seem to lose elevation faster in the Siren's Landing map for some reason, regardless if I'm leaning or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
