Abakk.9176 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I'm not going to get me a Griffon in the foreseeable future, so Gliding is still Gliding with me.Also, can't make a run for it on a Griffon... can do with Gliding and don't even need much elevation to escape/gain speed to get away fast and break aggro/save life.

Absconditus.6804 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 It doesn't replace anything. It gives you an option. Gliding hasn't been removed from the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the angle of falling is 1/2 or 1/3 compared to the glider so you can fly longer.If you start high enough, you can actually glide almost forever, but you can never get a higher altitude than when you started, so it's not flying, but it's better than gliding.For example you can glide from the south of the desolation map to the north with one "glide" with the griffon if you start at the temple of the jackal.It has something to do with diving tier 2 + second mount ability on the griffon. You may want to check that out.But to the topic, gliders are way more precise, so it won't die out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draygorn.7012 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Well, you can't use mounts in WvW but you can use gliders. For now at least.. Also, the movement of the Griffon is way too clunky to replace gliding. Gliding feels safer. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan.6124 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Complete DS with griffon only. Then you can say the griffon kills gliding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayumi Spender.1082 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Most cases? YesNot all though. Sometimes it's hard to land on a pin on the griffon due to it descend really fast when you pull back.The Glider I can get a precise landing in specific areas when I need it.Other the landing though? Griffon kills the glider outside of HoT. If Griffon could've updrafted... oh boy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
