Aodlop.1907 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I want birds. They make the world feel alive. To hell with horses, give me birds. 15 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Even worse is that in the guild halls there's no life at all. You can hear animals in the background, but there's no bugs, no birds, no life whatsoever, its just a dead zone. Unless you count plants, I guess. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentMoore.9453 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Loads of maps have birds in them, actually (low-poly, horrible birds, but birds all the same). Off the top of my head, I can tell you there are flocks in Caledon Forest, pigeons on the roof of the Salma tavern, and smatterings of them in other maps as well. They're built in as part of the map itself rather than being interactable entities, but they're definitely there. You can even find snakes in the Desert Highlands, and a number of cats tucked into various maps (some in secret locations). If you're really enterprising, go through the Ascalonian Catacombs dungeon and try to find the room filled with turkeys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikansei.5742 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 You don't see any birds in other maps because they've all been summoned to Harathi Hinterlands. All hail the O M N I O W L 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) As other people have said some places do have birds. Here's some flying around in Ascalon: https://i.imgur.com/zmKz6ok.jpg And some in Labyrinthine Cliffs: https://i.imgur.com/Mgu39ID.jpg I've also seen them in Timberline Falls, above the Crown Pavillion in Divinity's Reach and over Lion's Arch but I couldn't get good screenshots. Edit: There's interactable flocks of birds in Tangled Depths, there's an achievement for scaring them off.

Op is probably talking about just bird animations visible high in the sky, not about actual mobs that would be flapping around at low altitude. Something similar to risen dragons you can see flying over Orr when you look up. Although actual mobs capable of flight and being able to "patrol" over a large area might also be cool. Edit: my bad. Indeed, it seems some places do have this kind of animations, but they are indeed quite rare overall.

Cronospere.8143 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 There are birds flying in the fractal portal area. Those are canthan birds which you see. I suspect we will see lots of them in EoD.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could take them with me when I switch guild halls though when new ones come out in Cantha. I'll just pretend I put them in my home district. lol But yeah, adding ambient creatures even as decorations could be cool. But they didn't even add Path of Fire music to the anthem/song vendor so fat chance we'll ever see that. Also, to the op - if you check out the Luminate's throne in Tarir and jump out the window you'll see a flock of birds fly out. It's pretty neat.

Ardenwolfe.8590 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I know. My cats in my home instance keep killing them. Every single day, I’m clearing the bodies. 🤢 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
