Cerioth.7062 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I'd like to hear which biome or ecosystem people like the best in the current explorable areas of GW2!My favourite are the steppes and plateaus of Ascalon and the caniferous forest with gigantic trees in Bitterfrost Frontier. Also all the volcanic areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Usually snowy and mountains (Thunderhead aside since it was rubbish) but I’m rather partial to volcanic areas atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celldrax.2849 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Snow environments have always been a favourite of mine in video games. Thunderhead Peaks probably has some of the comfiest looking scenery in GW2.Also quite like the open desert of Crystal Oasis at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyncale.1629 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Small towns and surrounding farms/rural areas that have no, or relatively low pop of hostiles: Claypool, Beetletun, Ascalon Settlement, Wizards Fief. Not really a biome, but I like to chill in them, or do the few events around them. They bring me back to the "From Rags" part of an RPG, in contrast to the " To Riches" heroic part, that you get plenty of in the rest of the game. They are a nice contrast to the rest of the world which are usually over the top hostile war-torn zones, and packed with aggressive mobs. I.e. basically every (new) level 80 zone, exept for the small area around a Waypoint (and even then you can get pestered by mobs). I am a great fan of Anets World design, but I always found it a pity that after the initial newbie grounds, there are basically no areas in the higher level zones that are actually peaceful. I mean , I can understand it from a pure gaming viewpoint but still. This is one of the reasons that I LOVE the Skyscale: finally I can now take in and enjoy some of the scenery of high level zones, without having to fight off mobs every few seconds(or flee to Mistlock Sanctuary for some rest).

VDAC.2137 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Jungle, plus I love the complex design of the HoT maps! I also enjoy exploring hidden caverns and finding whole areas accessed underwater. But speaking purely of ecosystem (and not specific map design), I like forests, from Caledon to the Maguuma Jungle to the coniferous Bitterfrost. I’m less a fan of more open empty maps, but it’s great to have a variety! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspirine.6852 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Ascalon, the ruins and the forest. I wish it was bigger forest but I like how it looks. Too bad some branded stuff ruins some of the maps. Snow maps are also great, since I love snow. But somehow again the branded stuff ruins tunderhead peaks for me. Also a very irritating map to move in.HoT maps look just awesome but not my favorite to play in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westenev.5289 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I've always been partial to the shiverpeaks, probably ever since I was a newbie mining silver in Snowden Drifts. Bitterfrost Frontier is my favourite map, especially the tall forest section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenom.9457 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Favorite biome is a classic high fantasy sort of dense, green forest. The classic stuff (inspired by European forests I guess?), there isn’t anything quite like it in game. None of the forests are big enough or dense enough, but I do love Kryta a lot because I can get that particular fantasy feeling from it anyway due to soundtrack, architecture, etc. but my second favorite is icy mountains, snowy forests and frozen lakes. Represented very well by the shiverpeaks, and bitterfrost frontier the best of all. I really hope the far shiverpeaks is more like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teratus.2859 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Until Cantha comes to the game my favorite biome will be Kryta, specifically Queensdale which remains my favourite map in the game ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The desert maps of PoF are a solid third for me.Hmm, I guess I am just fond of desolate wild places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
