lujate.5432 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I'm returning after a long hiatus. I played Heart of Thorns and fully unlocked my main spec. I didn't finish the story. Do I need to finish the HoT story before I get PoF, or can I start to unlock the new spec while playing thru HoT? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaelestiaEmpyrea.2617 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 No need to finish HoT in order to start PoF. While gliding mastery helps in PoF, it is designed so that you can play it with NO HoT content unlocked at all. I would recommend playing the Living World S3 to get caught up on the story, but there is no requirement to do so. Unlocking elite specs only requires the expansion and enough hero points. If you have leftover enough saved from HoT, you could start unlocking it immediately upon purchasing PoF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lujate.5432 Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 So I don't have to even have to finish HoT? Interesting... I'll have to think on think on that one. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you You dont even have to finish base GW2. You do miss out a fair bit of the background story though. And elite specs if you havent gotten it elsewhere like WvW.

You don't need to finish HoT, but keep in mind that by unlocking mounts in PoF and starting using those in HoT maps you pretty much kill half of its originality, because all HoT's maps were built around using their native navigation systems and boosters (glyding, jump platforms, using local plants etc), and those are very interestingly built and tied to your map-based progression (through masteries) - and mounts make all those obsolete. IMO, it robs a huge chunk of great gaming experience from players. I really think they should have banned mounts usage there, until you first learn local navigation masteries to some level. All said is just my opinion, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchonWing.9480 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Nah, the story is completely optional. I finished the personal story (Vanilla) just last month and I've been playing this game for over 6 years. You're better off unlocking the new specs, IMO. And you can do it with HoT hero pts anyways. Personally I'd finish HoT story eventually. I preferred it greatly over vanilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blude.6812 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Mounts make HoT so much better!! Do PoF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev.1045 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I got the raptor before doing the story- it didnt spoil anything for me- and i like having the mount! You get the raptor within about 10 minutes of POF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
