Tangled Depths is my favorite map in the game :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theocraft.6053 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 the only map I didn't like in both expansions is TD and mostly because the map is really not helping there. The best map from both expansions in my opinion is auric basin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disintegration.1029 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 This is by far the most frustrating map and unenjoyable map. I made it through the mastery points and hp's just fine. But try going back there for achievements. Treasure hunting that forces you into guessing which way to go around (or up or down) invisible walls...harpies dismounting an hitting for 50% of health?...lack of players...sulfur that makes if sporadically places and not taking up just a huge portion of the map. The only positive is that the meta is ok IF there are enough players to even do it. I played this xpac pretty heavily...got the griffin and map completion. But this is the point where I'm not really wanting to log-in anymore. It's just not fun...and the map is far from scenic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayumi Spender.1082 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 The only part of Desolation I don't like much is the Forged HQ. The area itself isn't too bad. Fun riding over the sulfur and such. I have more fun in Desolation than the east side of Vabbi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I do wonder how those npcs who need escorting in riverlands and oasis ever coped crossing the desolation without our help. I mean if they could survive desolation, im pretty sure getting to Amnoon isnt going to be problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen any groups try to run it and any attempts are usually met with the sound of crickets. Well the answer is ... "it's complicated". I seem to have did it the other day(got some elegy mosaic for it) but as far as I could tell it should have failed judging from how it looked like it was going. Maybe that is what one of the bugfixes was referring to in the patch notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get one of the five items needed for the [Exaltation of Guardians achievement](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Exaltation_of_the_Guardians "Exaltation of Guardians achievement"), which grants the [Royal Funerary Glove Box](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Royal_Funerary_Glove_Box "Royal Funerary Glove Box").

TheQuickFox.3826 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 To me, all the expansion maps have been absolutely great. But they could have been even better without cheap tricks like invisible walls and killzones. [Punishing explorers](https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/10350/why-being-so-hard-on-explorers "Punishing explorers") is never a good thing imo.

I know but the really confusing part is that it definitely looked like "pre" failed yet it proceeded to the boss anyway ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had that happen too several times now...can't recall if the meta was one of them. I know it's not intentional because I've been there and seen it fail. So, it's either hackers or we are post-release beta-testers for an incomplete zone. Having played ANET games and other mmo's, I find it hard to believe that they are truly done with the last two zones. I mean unless they only care about the game up until the point where one probably has or won't buy a griffon. If one is thinking about metas and achieves, that decision has probably been made. Maybe they are going with that model now...hope not. We'll have to see what happens over the next few months and with the Living Story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithis.3564 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 With the Domain of Vabbi one of the best maps. PRAISE JOKO ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaklex.6308 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Interesting someone mentioned invisible walls, because of the two sets of invisible walls I found only one kept me from going someplace I thought I should, and that was the one over the Vabbian Corridor tunnel which is blocked at both ends by Forged and/or Awakened(believe me, the tunnel exists, you can see it on the world map and I'm sure there's a way to go through it, maybe just not yet). The other set of invisible walls didn't stop me from getting on top of the plateau just south and east of the overseers palace, but it did prevent me from dropping down into the lush area in the Northeast, a rather odd choice for an invisible wall if you ask me, but I didn't mind going back and around. Otherwise I have no problems with any of the maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
