maddoctor.2738 Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 Although I liked the story of Ember Bay, the map itself is lacking, it's too open/large and feels emptier than the other maps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carighan.6758 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I dislike Lake Doric for a fair few reasons: * Overall, it just feels uninspired. It had this setup with a huge fight, but it doesn't feel overly active between the NPCs. Very very theme-park-y. * The events are few, small chains, little interaction. Can't even fully lose/win towns properly, this map could have benefited a lot from being lost gradually centaur-map-style. * It feels "cobbled together". With the random non-fitting leather farm, the random spirits, then the white mantle ofc who for some reason have a base which has a shield (???) but then also there not being a proper human army around but some individual small groups... it's a lot of leftover ideas tossed into a map. :dissapointed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebbl.2806 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Draconis Mons. Reminds me too much of Tangled Depths. *shudders* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadramar.8156 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Lake Doric. No question. The hearts feel like a slog, White Mantle and jade constructs are among the most annoying enemies in the game for me, the centaur area is a pain, and reaching that POI without getting repeatedly shot to pieces is a no-fun suicide run. Even moreso with the anti-AFK-farmer bombardement. As much as I'm anti-AFK-farmers, I also do not appreciate being punished for what other people do. Runner-up, though by some distance, would be Ember Bay. The silliness of the skritt and the circus removes any sense of impeding doom, Chalice of Tears is a nightmare, the scenery is boring.

Carighan.6758 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Bitterfrost Frontier would be my "runner up" (or is it "runner down"? :tongue: ). But not because of the immediate problems. More because of the wastes potential. If I look at how the map was built, how the bonfires work and look at the skills on the torches we carry, I **think** that originally, most of the map was supposed to slowly stack a damaging effect on us? And carrying a torch and/or using its skills would alleviate that effect? If so, annoying as that would have been in itself, *damn that sounds interesting*. If it were the ultimate map of an expansion with some special loot and all, fun stuff. A truly dangerous map, Jormag's home territory, so far up north that just being "around" causes you to die, it's just too cold there. :open_mouth: So yeah, because of how the map ended up vs what it could have been, second place in the List of Disappointment. Still doesn't hold a candle against Lake Doric, which is so bland and annoying at the same time I don't even truly know how to put it into words.

Pifil.5193 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Lake Doric but it's more mild dislike than hatred because I think the hearts drag on a bit too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulzi.8273 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Lake Doric, but mainly due to the annoying mobs who are not worth the trouble to engage most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aomine.5012 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Draconis Mons is my least favourite. I'm ok with big a multi-dimensional map, but I'm not ok with how the map is navigated. Basically you'd have to grab a LIMITED USAGE vine to get to the place you want, blocking you out of combat option, as well as adding so much tedium factors in it. If I screwed up my ground targeting, I'd have to back-track to the previous vine and do it again. This is a very bad design, that's why I'm waiting eagerly for mount to be released to solve this problem.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samarak.7519 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I wish they would have made it easier to get to the maps rather than having to do the story on each character or buy the portal items. land locked maps should be accessible by zone portal.

SunTzu.4513 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Draconis Mons. It gave me tangled depths falshbacks. I don't like this types of maps. But the hardest time i have on Lake Doric. Caudecus was a pain in the ass at the first time. Also everywehere you go someone/something is hitting you and you always pull a bunch of withe mantle guys with u, what sometimes and with some classes (imo mesmser) can really anoying.

Odokuro.5049 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I really can't put my finger on any of the maps for a, "Least favorite", they're all pretty much on equal footing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokke.6239 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Bitterfrost. Snow maps are pretty much always my favorite :D Winter expansion next anet :D? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oglaf.1074 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Bloodstone Fen and Draconis Mons. Any area that is "Tangled Depths-y". Favourite is Bitterfrost. Stop with all this fire nonsense, Anet. Bring on a Norn-centric expansion pack about Jormag already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasimir.6239 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Lake Doric! I'm not a fan of most Kryta maps to begin with (including DR). Those dark green hills and forests just seem boring to me, and I have yet to find an event that on Lake Doric that I really enjoy, and it doesn't give much scope for exploration either. I prefer vibrant colours and lots of odds and ends to explore like Draconis Mons, which is probably my favourite map in the game by now =) .

Silver Ranger.3547 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Least favorite: Ember Bay. If only for the horrible token hunt :expressionless: But the follow-up is Draconis Mons, whose traveling mechanic with the vines is definitely a hit-or-miss. Sometimes quite literally.

Absconditus.6804 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Bloodstone Fen due to it just being a bit too bland for me. No repeatable Hearts, and I hate the rate which you get the Blood Rubies. Bitterfrost Frontier is a close second, though the map at least feels overall rewarding with its abundance of chests strewn across the map, and Fresh Winterberries are reliable to gather.

Jwake.7013 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I actually really love the map but Bitterfrost has my least favorite area with the The Bitter Cold area. Aside from story after that there's no real reason to return to the whole area. I would have loved something like a legendary boss spawn every two hours in there that gives some good loot, then it be a neat reason to keep making the heat potion to group up and kill a boss there. Back on topic.... Lake Doric to me just fell flat. It had some interesting story and was fun to map complete but after that, quickly fell off anything to really do. The farm was not fun and no chain events gave that great a loot or were interesting after the first few times. Plus most of the time the only people on where doing the farm so no one pushed the chain events anywhere. The map was lovely to look at but never felt a reason to come back once I had story done.
