You really need to learn the springer launch trick, it saves a lot of time if you combo it with the gliding booster. Faster even than a double boost on skyscale.
(For those who haven't heard of it before: charge up the springer jump, then at about 80-90% hit the dismount button. You'll fly up to as high as the jump would have gone and then immediately be able to glide.)
there are also vids here explaining - very handy trick!
It is a Griffon Rider's best friend for getting a little more height.
The whole "open chest" things is just to force people to do the pre-metas to farm the keys. HoT feels better as you can BUY the Keys for the Map Currency.
In hot you can just open the chest without doing anything if you have keys and meta is up and finished pure afk farm
Octo is still the best meta for me, simple, short yet rewarding.
if they implemented the participation for HoT this map would be AMAZING. because as opposed to randomly teleporting to be best in efficiency you actually station people at each camp like you are supposed to. not only better role play but just better gameplay too, similar to VB
The only chests I don't mind are the Bitterfrost ones because they are at least themed and always available regardless of events.
With this "stupid" thing about so many chests at the end, the GW2 team is solving the problem with "no participation" at events. For example, the player who tags only the main event for a little bit, won't be able to open all the chests, the same as the player who participates in most or all events. I believe this is the whole catch.
Which he immediately proves by only having 6 keys at the end because he only participated in the final boss.
Exactly. It's a participation thing. I like it.. encourages participation for the whole meta rather than just the end
I agree
I think a better way to do this would be to just make the events along the way actually give you something instead of spamming a bunch of random F keys at the end.
@@MightyTeapot agree, it's a clever design to encourage participation but very badly executed.
fun fact you can use the dismount key on your springer before you leave the ground it will still fling you up then you can glide and use the glider updraft thing.
really???
@@i_arji Yeah, that's a thing. It's hard to do consistently (at least for me), but it works. I use it to get massive height and then mount my griffon mid-air and dive.
I prefer doing Bloodstone Fen for accessories because they can be reset with special items at the vendor.
Bloodstone trinkets are Poor Player's Legendaries
I've recently returned and decided I should get the Skyscale. Already having the other mounts (minus turtle) mostly all upgraded it wasn't so bad. Every once in awhile I get behind, then I use a teleport to friend to the tag lead to catch up.
Having the Beetle helped to open up the map by just zipping around, although the shrines during the meta also help. But getting the Skyscale isn't exactly fun, get the scales, give out meds, now get eggs back and forth you go.
They could just make a big chest with rewards that improve the more keys or whatever you put into it.
Put a cap on it and it will function the same, without the running around.
I actually really liked Dragonfall. I can't say that about Thunderhead though - that map is so empty!
Thunderhead Peaks is great during the story and when the metas are happening and boring any other time.
I really like dragonfall as well. I hear the complaints, but mostly I just like the things people complain about /shrug
It has to be the only meta in gw2 where flying mounts are NOT optional.
You can get the jackal with springer plus glider with jade bot. I didn't have lvl 3 of either springer/skimmer. Used springer to get most of it done and in the high vault areas used parkour plus glider with boost.
I too hate the champion runs, here and in Drizzlewood. They are almost impossible to do until you own the skyscale (Dragonfall). Or griffon (Drizzlewood). Even with the mounts they are kind of tedious. Inevitably miss one of the landing points towards the end of DF and get stuck in combat. The 'chests in a circle' idea is waaaay preferable to the run through Auric Basin. In meta bosses where there are fewer chests, or even boss chests from Dragonfall it can be hard to see the chests with everyone crowded around them.
I'm glad I'm not the only one... I pushed through getting my skyscale at dragonfall with only the bunny for so long, and since getting it I haven't been back once 😂
I also never really did Dragon Storm after getting Scale. Then with the Return To: I was so clueless about the area, but remembered why I didnt play the zone ever. Was miserable pre-scale. Much like HoT maps with no gliding masteries and obv scale as well. Was just annoying as hell to get about, and mobs were so over tuned at the time.
Skyscale was so much grinding I only returned once to this map since then.
Dragonfall just triggers my skyscale collection PTSD
Living world season 4 did something I didn't think it could do it made me feel really sad for kralkatorrik in all honesty I cried at the end of it cuz it made me sad
I’m not sure if you’re serious but I felt the same way :D I was legit sad
Honestly the only elder dragon I don't feel bad for is Zhaitan. All the other ones i really like, especially Primordus. He's just a big fiery lizard chilling.
Also Blish. But the first and long lasting shock for me was Eir. When Rytlock says "Mordremoth! Get ready to bleed." it is so rightfully satisfying. :D
Isnt it just easier to use laurels for ascended trinkets? ( probably diffrent stat types depending on map)
In all honesty, I think that Dragonfall is pretty well designed map. It's surprisingly diverse but it lacks content. It's all about the massive chest farm
It's really interesting to see the gulf in opinion towards Season 4 between those like Teapot that value mechanics and encounters and those like myself that value the RP, the lore and the 'cinematics' as he put it. Season 4 in my eyes is the peak of GW2 storytelling (prior to EoD) and the obvious deficiencies of the maps and events were easily masked by the rich story that was told when introducing the them. When you focus so hard on the mechanic pros and cons of a map in GW2 you miss a lot of the point of those maps... it's hard to explain but I just feel that those that are less interested or invested in the GW2 story/lore do miss out on the overall raison d'être.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. The Dragonfall meta is a desperate battle to keep Kralkatorrik down because if he isn't kept down and available to be fought on the ground, he will escape and eventually wreak havoc on Tyria consuming leyline magic and branding the whole world. The music fits very well if you do the meta during the storyline or after having done the storyline.
@@godspeedhero3671 I think the music suffers from being so good. The Kralk theme is sublime so I don't blame ANET for wanting to use it outside of story instances. With regards to the 'Kralk body fight' I will say that it's not perfect and a little strange that he just cocoons up before youre teleported to a bunch of chests. Knowing that he is missing a wing and using leylines to regen Id have liked maybe to have the event have you clear a path across his body towards the other wing and have the end point sheering off the other one. The team on the outside essentially, worst case, buying time for the Commander to do their thing inside.
Funnily enough I do care about the RP. One of the things I really really don't like about DF is that the RP (insane world ending event) doesn't match the gameplay (trivial events and you don't even actually fight the boss in any meaningful way) so my suspension of disbelief is shattered and I just can't buy it at all.
If we're talking PURELY from looking at the final 'battle' of basically popping scabs I entirely agree with you, that 'encounter' could have been so much more epic. I just feel that everything leading up to that was done super well. Pushing the lanes towards the camps, setting them up then pushing the tech or whatever towards the brandstorm. All the while you're literally on chunks of the Mists and an Elder Dragon.
Everyone has their own opinions though and I'm sure there's maps you adore and I hate. Sirens Landing gets a lot of praise and I just don't get it!
I'm with you on this shitty map but the dragonfall chests have a guaranteed ascended weapon drop within 1000 chests. Got mine within 100. The armor skins from the achievements in this map are very nice too, for fashion victims.
Stone infusion is a +9 agony. Kinda free if u don’t need that currency
with drakkar already unlocked surely it would have been much quicker to do the side quest for the free ascended trinket on that map? XD
I remember i got my skyscale mostly because i wanted to keep up in dragonfall, i got my skyscale and played the dammned map again xd
Well I guess a lot doesn't like it but I really enjoy opening chest part
I agree 100% about dragonfall. The worst map in GW2 because it really punishes you if you don't have Skyscale.
i prefer dwc to dragonfall any day of the week but no way to grind out ascended there unfortunately, just fat cash stacks which I suppose helps in the long run
This map gives you access to the amulet, ring and accessories + 3 armor skins
@@UA-camChillZone yeah I meant no way to grind ascended in DWC unfortunately, ty
This dragonfall slander will not stand!
A while ago, I made a gen1 legendary, the Juggernaut, sold it and convert to gems. Proceeds to buy all Lws2,3 and 4. Yay! 1 week later, BOOM “Return to…(seasons of the dragons)” giving out all the episodes I bought for free…bruh
Lot of audio pops in this video.
I loved season 3 maps way more. They were much more enjoyable to grind compared to season 4. And the fact that you could buy ascended trinkets in every map was just a big plus for me to grind them
Dragonfall, never seen that map. Looks annoying.
Octovine chests 🙄 lol
Why didn't he just rent a skyscale once he got the high jump?
Well because you lose it once you dismount so whats the point.
Playing these maps without skyscale was really really annoying as a new player, I felt very angry most of the time :D This video made me happy, I was thinking I was crazy to get annoyed lol. Whole game become much more enjoyable after getting the skyscale since now I can actually explore these maps (I had big bunny jump at that time btw, still I was not able to catch up at meta events because everyone was just flying with skyscale and killing stuff)
Yeah, same for me. Did the meta for the first time today and got a bit discouraged because the squad was so fast I couldn't catch most of the bosses after the meta.
I've been doing it to unlock Skyscale and I've found with the Griffon, super Springer and an occasional teleport to friend. I'm hardly ever behind. If you didn't have the Griffin and masteries or springer it is tedious.
Having the beetle helps to speed around and open the map, although the shrines helps as well.
@@WSPBane I don't gave Griffon or Beetle, yet. But at least my Bunny can jump high.
@@Joeyjoejoe1708 without the Griffin I don't know how to keep up like Teapot is how I'd be. I've seen people recommend getting Skyscale first but it would be more challenging to get around I'd think or maybe I'm not very creative and rely on the Griffin too much.
@@WSPBane My plans are after finishing the IBS-story to go back and at least get the Griffon for easier traversal in vertical maps before continuing the story with EoD.
Yeah, running around opening chests is tedious.
You know, most people who get to Dragonfall already have Springer 3 unlocked. The map was designed so the springer could navigate it when you don't yet have the skyscale. Your problem was just not upgrading your base mounts.
I'm not a huge fan of Kralk's battle here but I feel like the key situation is a good way to avoid the auric basin and tangled depths problem of people only showing up for the final boss.
Edit: "my team has abandoned me" your footage kind of implies you don't actually know how the farm for dragonfall works. If you stay with the tag you get every event. Going solo is the suboptimal play.
I dislike the map a lot because the events suck, so I don't know the optimal strats. And yeah I think it's complete garbage that new players that don't have the skyscale/levelled mounts have a big disadvantage. I could keep up no problem, but newer players definitely can't.
Yeah I really wasn't getting the "problem with masteries" he was trying to showcase there. He was trying to demonstrate an issue of them locking you out of content with something that was just his own fault; no one forced him to fast track to Dragonfall before taking the small amount of time required to upgrade the Springer.
He could potentially have more of a point using a different example such as maybe IBS Strike chests being locked behind masteries (even then I don't see anything really wrong with missing out on some rewards as it gives value to levelling up your masteries, it's only a problem for really impatient people but I can see why some people wouldn't like it). But not having an upgraded Springer was the worst example he could have chosen - PoF are by far the easiest, fastest and most universally useful masteries in the game.
@@amyt2035 exactly
@@amyt2035 i disagree becasue exactly this happened to me. Obviously its "my own fault" to not have those masteries but people i played with wanted to do the map and work a bit on the skyscale. As i had the chapter i thought why not join and do it together since the content is suposed to be able to be done in any order. i DESPISED the map, literally didnt play the game for a bit after that experience. If the skyscales where just a bit more accessible without the high jump things would be different, but if i need the mastery to properly do the map i think it should be required or at least strongly recommended.
Yeah there are so many other content that punish you much more by not progressing through them in order. The one I hate most is fractals. Having to get agony resistance is purely a gate keep. And once you get them? Well time to get more for your alts. Getting them doesn't even change the gameplay at all.
For Dragonfall, most people wouldn't get there until they have Springer 3 unlocked. Though I would say you need Jackal too. With both of them, you can 100% tag everything. Especially with good commanders. Some of them actually run farms without flying mounts. Sometimes with dedicated portallers. Griffon and Beetle is nice to have though.
And I'm not sure about others but I actually love that there's at least 1 map that requires you to use the full potential of mounts. Otherwise it's such a waste of excellent game mechanic. It's the last episode of LS4, so it's not even misplaced.
To me it felt like hearing: New players that don't have ascended gears have a big disadvantage in raids. When they could do just as well using exotic gear.
GW2's chest implementation is IMO a failing attempt to bridge chest farms from GW1 UW/FOW runs.
Bloodstone Fen + Bitterfrost = all the trinkets you need. Throw in Sandswept for the prototype rewinder and you'll be golden. No need for LWS4 at all yet.
p.s. The whole chest thing I wanna say is to reward individual participation. Get more keys, open more chests = easier than tracking everyone's individual progress and adjusting a single end chest per player.
As you’ll soon see, S4 is FAR superior to S3 for gearing!
i get pretty lazy grinding this map, but i learned to enjoy it after i learned how much gold it gives me per hour. if things gives u big money i dont mind playing tedious shit
new world is even worse in this regard. the entire end game consists of chest runs.
My main issue with DF besides what you brought up is the fact it's a bad version of UW and FOW from gw1. As a returning gw player I was surprisingly disappointed to say the least. I like drizzlewood more compared to DF. Same thing basically except a little more interactive + otter collection ;)
Completely agree, dragonfall is shit tier.
the opening of a lot of chests is there in order to resource-gate gains with keys which also are a good sink for map currency and also a timesink so you get less in more time. i'm rather surprised why you would say you don't understand that, it's not even game economics design 101, it's game eco design preschool.
give the player as much rewarding interaction as possible (opening one chest is one instance of "looting") while holding back as many rewards per unit of time as possible.
swear this is just a karma farm map
Volatile magic farm map actually, but yeah you get a ton of karma too.
True. Ty teapot. Chest must be given for players having no time for this time shit bull shit. Time is something you can never get back. It's sad players have to play the game the developers give.
I love this series , Keep it up Teapot , and I am a newbie in Raids and Strike missions if you ever need a newbie or doing somethign with that I am up for it BoSsEx.8697.
