ArenaNet Staff Rubi Bayer.8493 Posted August 16, 2023 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted August 16, 2023 We worked with Guild Wars 2 community member and S-Tier Griffon Rider @Thy Weeping Willow.6851 for a video preview of the new flight masteries coming with Secrets of the Obscure. Take a look! Psst: Make sure you check the description in the video linked above. They've got a giveaway going on too! 35 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phandaria.4891 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FB57Lxgb-M0 I am not affiliated with the creator or anything. Just wondering why Arenanet is not showcasing this themselves. I think people would want to see as much preview as possible. The area looks amazing! As if Dalaran Hogwarts Flying Magic Academy themed city not exciting enough. EDIT: I posted this thread just as the Mod created their own. Apologies.

Freya.9075 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 This looks incredible! Thy Weeping Willow is the number one Griffon rider and makes amazing videos. Can't wait to try this myself. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson.4036 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 My number one thing I’m excited about for SotO, and it looks like it won’t disappoint! So glad the griffon keeps speed while going through updrafts. Looks like it might even keep speed along ley lines. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashen.2907 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 This video was really well done and the creator is obviously highly skilled with the griffon. Absolutely lovely. My questions is, will flying mounts be required to fully participate in and complete SotO's content? 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNurgle.4825 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 That is best promotion video I saw for SOTO. Would be great to have it here https://www.guildwars2.com/en/secrets-of-the-obscure/ or here https://www.guildwars2.com/en/, because that is what ppl want to see. If you can do some more collab stuff and make it like "Spotlight of the week(month): Mounts", "Spotlight of the week(month): Fractals", "Spotlight of the week(month): Strikes", "Spotlight of the week(month): World bosses", "Spotlight of the week(month): Legendary weapons". Sometimes you just need to reach out to content creators and discuss with them their already existing content like Lord Hizen did preview for all EoD legendary weapons. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) That music gave me goosebumps in IBS and it still does here. Someone asked what they'd be doing on Day 3 in this expac. This, this is what I'll be doing every day. kitten, I may actually finally be excited GW2 shown at its finest Edited August 16, 2023 by Randulf.7614 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeliosMagi.9867 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Do updrafts refill the Skyscale's endurance? I notice in the video he dashes six times in a row, which isn't possible currently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but you will get a skyscale automatically while in SotO, according to one of the gamesite articles. And you'll have a streamlined path to getting skyscale for use elsewhere. 3 minutes ago, HeliosMagi.9867 said: Do updrafts refill the Skyscale's endurance? Yes. They do.

I’ve read that you get between the floating islands by riding a mount along ley lines. Also, a meta involves the skyscale fireball. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manpag.6421 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 This video is awesome, but it also makes me kind of sad seeing the fantastic boosts griffon and skyscale are getting while the poor siege turtle isn’t benefitting from any of the new flying masteries (based on the wording of the mastery previews so far). Can you confirm whether this is the case (and, if so, whether it’s something that’ll ever be reconsidered)? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can fly far enough to reach updrafts, including flying between the boss canopy platforms in Verdant Brink — I think that should qualify it? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
