Arden.7480 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Map is insanely well designed! Those hidden corridors, amazing snowy mountains, and it's made with every mount in mind! It's so much fun climbing up with the Springer, and flying down from the highest peaks with Griffon, and the metas are actually epic and I enjoy them very much. Fractal is just phenomenal, the climate is so great! Also the view in the final stage of the fractal is just breathtaking, this sun, ocean, skies... And those new mechanics! I loooved this fractal so much! The Music, there are no words... I leave it at that. The voiceacting and sounds - just mindblowing, I will repeat it thousands of times: Debbi, my god... You are amazing!! The legendary - I love it!! Cosmic energy? Created by an unknown entity? Leaving broken rifts? All the stuff I've dreamed of!!!! Thank you for looking into my hidden dreams! :D The story... I just... Thank you for leaving me into a state of feeling nothingness. All I felt after seeing Aurene impaled was just creeping nothingness... Never experienced such fear from this game... I trembled in fear for hours... I love you, my dearest Guild Wars 2 Family! I love this Game so much, it's just part of me. Thank you for your hard work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trembled in fear for hours... You felt nothing or trembled in fear? ... I was sad and felt depressive! . imho - rainy gray weather - this it not the best season of the year, - to let aurene die, - to lose Blish, - to get the information about Taimi's illness and its uncertain course ... leave the gamer with this unhappy end alone. Befor you think, I have only bad things to say .. Yes, great landscapes ... funny golem-music-player in Sun's Refuge with many choices ... To see Koss activ again and back within the Sun's Refuge, reminds me to the good old GW1-days ... But as I remember Glint's Cave ... I think the visual effects of the crystalls looked better in GW1 ... maybe depends on the bump maps. In addition to this, I am irritated by the refractive index of many crystals, which seems wrong calculated to me. A BIG WISH .... Pls (don't forget) bring back [Kehanni](https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Kehanni "Kehanni") ... ghost, soul ... howsoever ^^ (another sad moment in GW, as she died) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArenaNet Staff Andrew Gray.5816 Posted January 17, 2019 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted January 17, 2019 We're all glad you're enjoying it so much! Playing along side everyone once it goes live and getting to watch you all experience everything for the first time is seriously my favorite part of the job.

Playing along side everyone once it goes live and getting to watch you all experience everything for the first time is seriously my favorite part of the job. Kudos to all your hard work. :) Even though the story missions (except maybe for the last one) were a huge disappointment this time (especially compared to the ones from the previous episodes), the map itself as well as the meta events, exploration aspect, ambiente, music, and dialogue all deserve a round of applause. I love going on this map every day and doing the hearts etc. It is so enjoyable. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyninja.2954 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Loved every moment of it. Had people in reddit discord who lately only come on to play the newest episode and then break for another 3 months come in and, I quote:"I am having a blast of fun playing this story." That is even with the ending cinematic not working for them and them having been spoiler-ed the end before playing the episode. All in all a very good living world release. Thank you.

If so, that's good thinking by them But it means they had to cut the cameo where a certain someone who figured prominently in the episode asked Tixx for a Red Ryder BB gun.
