You will also find yourself in the city of Amnoon. Once through the Prologue you will have your first mount, the Raptor. I enjoyed myself and laughed through my mishaps. The fights flowed nicely and then helping the villagers all made sense to the story. The fights are soloable, though I died about six times and in part due to my disabled hands. No, we must help clear out a mine and then the village beyond. I found this amusing because I’m off to kill a god, not just a dragon.ĭue to issues we can’t land in a safe place. To get to the new content you have to do a story quest called the Prologue that starts in Lion’s Arch, with you requesting a ride to the Crystal Desert alone to go beat up Balthazar. I, however, decided to stick to my staff rather than trying the new sword. I hardly play with it other than to see how it rotates and plunged into the Path of Fire. Slot three is a new combo skill based on which two elements are up. Each time you change, the one you select is your primary and shows on skills 1 and 2 and the previous primary becomes the secondary in slots 4 and 5. This proved interesting because with it you are not in only one element. I decided to use my elementalist as my exploration character, so I installed the Weaver specialization on my build. Let’s not forget mounts! First Things FirstĮvery class has a new specialization they can add. There are multiple challenges to getting masteries.

The monsters have cool ways of trying to kill you, let alone never seen before additions.

I expected something similar, but with a brand new flavor. They spent a lot of time fine tuning the griffon adventures.REVIEWS First Impressions of Guild Wars 2's Path of Fire.Eventually if they have the tech, they want to make it so that the there would be water waves/splashes behind you as you fly the griffon really close to the water surface (they already got it for the skimmer, so can just scale it up for the griffon).Then they added a soft ceiling (altitude buffer) that decays while you are level so that you need to fly a bit before gaining height. Originally if you dived and pulled up immediately you could go up vertically infinitely.At one point in the development the Griffon speed was so fast it went through the terrain so we had to dialed it back.Jackal was gonna be the 5h mount originally when Griffon didn't have any dive abilities added in and could only flap in the air.One of the first mounts they came up with after Raptor.Didn't know we want to keep it hidden until late into development when we wanted to have a cool reward/suprise for players.
