GW2 new expac impressions
Mar. 6th, 2022 09:28 pmSo the new Cantha expansion released on Feb 28, and I played a bit of it over the weekend. I haven't finished the story, but I'm about 4/5 of the way there. Have traveled a bit around all of the maps. Did 3 of the 4 map metas. Haven't unlocked the siege turtle mastery track yet but have played the other tracks a bit. So this is just a first impressions review.

Overall: It's...ok. Mechanically not much of a game changer as gliding and mounts brought, but I suppose that's a good thing in terms of power creep at this point. Maps are nice if you have skyscale and can bypass a lot of the difficulties in navigation. Not much of a wow factor as PoF but fight mechanics feel better balanced. I will probably finish out the story on my main, do most all of the masteries and try those out, and then get the full specialization for mesmer at least. Though, not sure I'll still play on after that.
