What's your favorite Living World Season 3 map?

[Ashantara.8731]

Bitterfrost Frontier. I'm a sucker for winter themed maps. It also has a good layout with interesting interactive content, plus the atmospheric lighting at night is simply breathtaking (I remember entering the map for the first time, which happened to be at night, and simply went, "Whoa!").

Ember Bay. I'm a bit of an old school solo farmer and this place has all the right components - good mob density and mobs drop unbound magic, t6 mats/lodestones, karmic retribution drinks and decent coin. Good variety of things to kill, hearts seem to progress at the right pace, boss fights aren't dragged out and obnoxious. Screw the JP though.

Each map has aspects of its own but i think bloodstone fen looked best , npcs in amber bay have more personality

Draconis Mons with Bitterfrost close behind it. Going with the DM due to the design of the map and the amazing way that the spidey travel (sorry that's the way my mind translates the grappling ability) can combine with gliding to create some of the most fun map traverse that out there. Would love to see future zones have this option or for players to get some limited use ability for this outside of this zone. Bitterfrost's mechanic reminds me of the Silverwaste which to me is still a compelling zone for meta events. I like zones that work up to events and reasons for players to want to see succeed to gain more if they do.

I love snow (in real life & games), I actually enjoyed the elixir part of the story, I like the events, chests and berries.

The most fun I've had in a long time was using the Oakheart Essence.

 

I really hope we eventually get to Cantha, and that we learn a Grappling Hook mastery there that we can use in the streets of Kaineng and in the Echovald Forest to go all Batman on this thing, grappling to go high then gliding between the buildings and trees.

I had fun in Draconis Mons... but crafting that time gated backpack and being forced to redo the exact same tedious chores in the zone over and over and over made me like the zone a lot less. I also don't like the JP there.

 

Ember Bay would be my favourite aesthetically, and I LOVE the chalice of tears JP.

did not vote as their was no choice to vote i did not like any of living story maps at all. as already said for me the living story maps just reminded me too much of the hot maps . and only did them for the story unlocks at best and never went back at all. done once and not going back on other toons at all

[rapthorne.7345]

I love Lake Doric.

 

It's a mystery uncovered so close to home, the scenery is familiar yet alien, and I hope more maps pop up in areas we otherwise assumed we knew

The NPCs are the only positive aspect of that map! The dialogue is hysterical, it made me laugh a couple of times. =)

 

But design-wise, in my opinion Ember Bay really is the worst.

While I find your idea immensely imaginative, I wouldn't want to go Tarzan on beautiful and mysterious Cantha and thus have the whole atmosphere ruined by it. ;)

Draconis Mons is hands down my favourite. I love maps that can be explored and where I can walk around for days before getting to know my way around. I love the vibrant colours and lush vegetation of the lower areas. The top level, while being bare, still has lots of interesting corners. And I actually enjoy doing the hearts on that map even after finishing my druidstone backpiece :) .
