Taygus.4571 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I loved this. Landed on it right at the end with the skimmer..and stuck around for most of the next ride..But then then an even started..and well. ^^' But its such a neat addition. And no it doesn't need AP or a title.. It's just something relaxing to enjoy the scenery. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenom.9457 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Would be great in sandswept, Istan, LA, maybe Rata Sum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A floating sky transport in Rata Sum, so we could enjoy the outside view. :) I've been told there is one in Sandswept Isles already, though I have not gone looking for it yet.

I'd be more inclined to lean toward comedic over creepy: The six seats and standing "captain" position in the middle even lines up with the number of characters.

I really like Labyrinthine Cliffs this far. Looks amazing, nice touch that you have to puzzle your way up to the top and overall a very beautiful map. Don't you hide it from us again, ANet :p I've been playing "chase the quaggan," schooling with the salmon, and touring the kelp beds lately ;) I'm about 3/4 of the way through the basic crystals, but as much as I've been falling and dying tonight, I think that's about as far as I'm going to get =) I love the cliffs! They're so relaxing. > @"sakura.7961" said: > > @"juhani.5361" said: > > > @"sakura.7961" said: > > > How do you join? > > > > If you look at the map, there's a little red boat next to a dock on one of the islands.

Liewec.2896 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 that used to one of my favourite things in WoW, instead of waypoints you actually had to travel, and there were boats, zepplins and things which you'd jump on and enjoy the view on your way :-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would actually complete spoil it for me. It's relaxing because you can choose to do it..just to relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can make that as there is already NPC tourguides going through LA, they could easily do the same here with a boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dami.5046 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I only got to know about it though the forums and it's a great ideal. It would be great to have it in other places or maybe island tours round the likes of ember bay? It's nice to just sit and admire the game we play.

She makes me smile, though, every time I hear some of her lines. :) As to the boat ride, I took it for the first time last night, and I positively LOVE it. What a great concept! We had a full boat, even had an asura change into a quaggan to serve as masthead for the boat. Everyone had a great time. If you haven't taken the opportunity, I encourage you to give the boat ride a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't taken the opportunity, I encourage you to give the boat ride a try! I took the ride over the weekend - it was a nice bit of flavor to have added to the game! Would have been nice if it was a narrated tour like the one in Lion's Arch, but I understand the writing and voice acting would have been expensive. Either way, hats off to whomever put this little cherry in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamfast.8719 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I just spotted your post after making one of my own... they added a stoopid dancing choya at the bow of the ship. Get him out of the way, ANet! That's MY spot for serenading passengers. He also gets in the way of using the Aviator's Memory Box to recreate the Titanic scene. I wish we had year-round access to the Labyrinthine Cliffs just for the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowDove.8329 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I took the boat ride after I saw this thread, and ran into a lovely player who played the harp for us for two trips around the bay :D Another day that I hopped on, Gourdon was dancing on the front end of the boat, and that was such an adorable sight ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
