Hoover.6394 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Tell me what's your favourite area in the game, somewhere that's beautiful and great for screenshots... My top 1 area is the double waterfall area in the west side of the Auric Basin, it's not a secret place, but i just love how the scenery is set up.

Randulf.7614 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Mt Maelstrom inside the volcano is one of mine - the glow from the lava really enhances certain dyes significantly Lions Arch makes for some great backdrops. There's also some really nice hills and vantage points in Elona - especially Desert Highlands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy.5981 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Three of my favourite spots are Cymbel's Rescue in Field of Ruin https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Cymbel%27s_Rescue Secluded Glen also in Field of Ruin https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Secluded_Glen and lastly Anya Fairmind's strawberry garden at the Town of Nolan, Diessa Plateau https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Town_of_Nolan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 For screenshots of my characters I tend to just find a place where the light is good and there's not too much going on in the background, because I usually take them very zoomed in so the background doesn't matter much. For screenshots of the world...there's so many beautiful places. I have a screenshots folder called 'scenery' with 135 images and I'm way behind on sorting my screenshots. But I think my favourite maps have to be Timberline Falls and the Maguuma (especially Auric Basin and Tangled Depths). ![](https://i.imgur.com/VrEoYkzh.jpg "") ![](https://i.imgur.com/lV6I1HRh.jpg "") (I think that's Auric Basin, but I'm not 100% sure.) For individual spots there's the bamboo garden at the bottom of the Grove: ![](https://i.imgur.com/AFlYEnKh.jpg "") The little swamp area in south west Brisban: ![](https://i.imgur.com/9yqLvcih.jpg "") And this waterfall in Kessex Hills: ![](https://i.imgur.com/MrVeuX7h.jpg "") There's so many more, but I don't want to overdo it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HnRkLnXqZ.1870 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Aurora's Remains in Brisban Wildlands & Risewild Green (Guild Trek Location) in Bloodtide Coast Both have awesome light-sources and fairy-style environment. Both are quite remote and see little to no visitors. Hidden Garden Jumping Puzzle in the Dierdre's Steppes of Mount Maelstrom This place has awesome views, caves, waterfalls, soil, fields, water-pools and by far the most impressive tree in the game. Wildflame Caverns in Metrica Province The best area to make lava-themed screenshots, because this lava does not hurt. Awesome cavern with great light-sources. Mithric Cliffs in Fields of Ruin A good place to make charr-themed screenshots. Not as populated as the Black Citadel, but with plenty of nice backgrounds. North Nolan Hatchery in Diessa Plateau More charr-stuff, but a lot less metal. Awesome views, nice backgrounds. Vexa's Lab in Fireheart Rise Plenty of Asura themed stuff, rooms & backgrounds. Once cleared from enemies, very low chance to run into other players. Except when it is the daily minidungeon. Martyr's Tomb in Harathi Hinterlands Ascalonian atmosphere, nice tombs and two rooms with very special light. But if you go there, bring a friend to clear the mobs. Northpasture Camp in Harathi Hinterlands North-east is a small formation of rocks that looks like "stairs." Those lead to a remote-area of the centaur-infested zone. There is a hidden treasure-chest up there. Probably the best view over the camps without any hostile creatures to worry about. As well as plenty of Centaur related environment. Those are some of the places I frequently visit for the view or making screenshots. Some are quite remote and allow you enjoy the view and just catch your breath.

Bast.7253 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Some of the raids are actually quite stunning as well. Makes me wish they just had a way to access the completely empty version of the map outside of the raid. Like the Zomoros' lair! It's really no wonder they don't spend more time on raids. They put some of the best aesthetics into them and nobody gets to see them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoRi Silvia.4159 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I'd not have a single pin point to offer but in general I found grothmar valley to be the most aesthetically pleasing to me, brings back memories of old ascalon pre searing and just the colors and landscape so vibrant... still my favorite map of all time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can group with a player that already cleared the raid-wing in the actual week (sometimes there are players in the LFG announcing for this) and then you can visit the empty/cleared raid instance.

SoulGuardian.6203 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 ● Queensdale I frequently stop and admire the waterfall just outside Divinity's Reach. Actually, most of Queensdale is astonishing. ● Grothmar Valley, has some really beautifully colourful, autumn themed nature. ● Diessa Plateau. I spent a lot of time with my Guardian just hanging around there. ● Sandswept Isles. Left one of my Elementalists there for ages, just so I could visit it every now and then. ● Elon Riverlands. South; around the water. It's just a shame that you can't stop for long to admire it, since everything around there wants to eat you. ● Timberline Falls. I like the contrast between the snow and the green around the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaralyna.3104 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 My favorite location is the skycastle by night in Desert Highlands, and the most beautifull scene would be the ascension of Aurene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawdler.8521 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I dont have a picture, but I do know the area that has stuck out the most - Prophets Fall. Its visual almost make it look like a painting at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iris Ng.9845 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 The first scenery comes to my mind is Kormir's library/sanctuary. I just love watching a flock of books flying. They reckon to Studio-Ghibli's type of imagination. Second would be the castle view inside of Mystic Forge, the path leading to Qadim fight. It's opulent. Third choice is the desecrated altar in the end of Arah path 3. Arah dungeon has many gorgeous sceneries of ruins, but most are at inaccessibly sky high level.

Etria.3642 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 My daughter and I were working on the skyscale flight achievements, and whoah. If you ever plan on doing this achievement, pick sunrise/sunset. So very many of them simply took my breath away. In fact, it was so gorgeous after a few oohs and ahhs, by request, it was streamed to our Discord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
