Secrets of the Obscure – Skywatch Archipelago Map Flythrough

Luckily (for those who despise Twitter) ArenaNet posted the video on YouTube, too.

Secrets of the Obscure – Rift Hunting

... and this one (which they previously only published on Twitter), too.
- @necropola @lorkano Wow I hope the rifts are more exciting than that video shows, that looks kind of boring. I was looking more for like the Rift MMO, where the whole landscape changes and mobs are pouring out.
Wizard styled waypoints confirmed
so as someone who took a break from GW2 at EoD launch after finishing the story what about this warrants a purchase? Everything I've seen so far hasn't been...amazing and the only thing I'm immediately excited for is the weapon changes but that seems hardly worth buying an expansion for. I guess this would finally push me to stop relying on HoT gliding and actually unlock the flying mounts though.
- Just wait till after the release and see if it’s for you.
I can't believe that we get sold a palette swap as an expansion. That coup during IBS really ended an era.
- Too early to say
- Normally I preorder expansions and I will 100% be getting this too, just gonna wait and watch if I should get it full price or on sale.
  
  Kind of what I did. First "expansion" I bought the basic verson instead of the ultra deluxe edition.
