GW Noob.6038 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Is there anything in the Domain of Istan that is worth going through all the hassle of doing the story-mode content to get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witch of Doom.5739 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 What I liked best about the map was how it evoked memories of GW1, and seeing how the area had changed. If you're into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm trying to do...make myself happy in a game where the developers seemed to be determined to make me unhappy! HAHAHAHA! Goodbye!

Hynax.9536 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 For anyone that likes gw2 story and pve, living world episodes are always worth it. Aside from that, since last nerfs on istan the gold farm isn't that powerful as it was before but is still a good option for players tired of fighting Vinewrath on Silverwastes.

GW Noob.6038 Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 I loved the personal story right up to the moment when the writers killed off my favorite character: Lightbringer Tybalt Leftpaw. Once they did that, it soured me on the story a bit. That, amongst several other deal-breaking flaws in the story-line, brings me to where I am now: I don't give a flying flip about their story...it's nothing but an unwanted nuisance to me at this point. Now, you mentioned something about a gold-farm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naxos.2503 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Getting Karma Enhancement also you to conveniently get karma through kills overtime while you do events for gold, and loot. Overall, a very profitable map, much like the latter maps in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got all three tiers of karma enhancement in the Bitterfrost Frontier map...it's proven to be one of the best investments in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been nerfed recently so it’s only good now for a once a day run but it’s a big event with lots of people doing it and it’s still pretty good gold.

Dreamy Lu.3865 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 @ OP, it is impossible to answer this question because it depends entirely upon own criteria and tastes. Some will say yes, some will say no... Only you can decide if it will suit you or not. You can read about it in wiki and there are also many reviews available online, just google on it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJin.4127 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 You can always use teleport to friend so you can get to Istan without the need to do the story. You would need to have access to episode 1, of course. Once you get in, you can buy an Istan portal scroll and port to Istan whenever you want from then on.

Bast.7253 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 If you make it there, and want to see the unfinished under layer of the map. I finally found a way in. It has some really awesome areas I wish could have been finished. I.e. Some Indiana Jones style cavern assets, an odd Snake Room that looks like it might have had some importance at one point, and some neat mount jumping puzzles.

Gold from doing the meta event...that's why most people go there. I was meaning with my answer, that to find the meta there worth it or not, is a matter of personal criteria. For example, me personally, I don't find it worth the effort. But that's "only" an opinion. Nothing more. I know many others thinking like me, who prefer to do other metas than this one. Now for now, you get more replies talking for it than against it. It's very much OK. Different opinions. At the end , you will be the one deciding if you find it worth for you or not, based on the experience you will do there. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
