Can't wait to go explore with my irl friends! Brings me back good memories from Vanilla WoW, when people used to walljump to explore the unexplored. ;3

Yeah I did that with my friends too. I remember getting into caverns of time, and hyja, and finding newmans landing. My favorite one was the tauren village off the coast of desolace though.

Looks amazing. I never understood why modern MMOs haven't taken more from adventure games. Puzzle/Platforming dungeons are a perfect way to design solo content.

Looks fantastic, it's far exceeding my expectations for exploration

The problem is that platforming in MMOs is always clunky as hell. You can see that even in this video. Rift had a lot of 'climbing' challenges as well to find hidden treasure and such, many of them were frustrating due to the fact that MMO engines are just not built for platforming. I'll remain cautiously optimistic.

Cautiously optimistic as well. I liked that it looked like there is an a bit of an automatic ledge grabbing system in place though, helping it to feel at least a LITTLE bit less floaty. Originally Posted by Nahela

That looks fascinating and so beautiful. I also wonder how many of these hidden places are there.

It'll be so cool to do that stuff^^ Really stoked about it. As other noted, platforming is not really made for mmo's, but still, who didn't wallclimb and stuff in WoW
Furthermore, I see possibilities here to actually race my friends to the top! It'll be hectic and insanely annoying with all the falling, but I'm also pretty sure it'll be hilarious;>

Platforming in MMOs is often clunky, but I am happy it is in this game. It is something that I'd like to see more of in MMOs and the only way to make it better is by experimenting with it. As Khaza-R said, also gives a lot of good options for dungeons as well. Would love to see a platforming hallway lead up to an optional boss in a dungeon. You could do a lot with timers. Maybe crystals you have to hit and extend platforms for 20 seconds, then the crystal respawns. Think Zelda Ocarina of Time almost.
Why do I run? Why do I slay? Why do I play? ...Carrots? Nay.

Before jumping on the wagon and saying that this is the best thing since sliced bread, i will wait til it comes out and has been out for a few months before properly assesing how this game is.
I clearly remember the same comments popping up on rift threads aswell, and well...

As do I. It'll all be in how well they manage to implement it, but with the scenery as gorgeous as it is, I think it'll win out. A lot of the 'hidden exploration' in Rift is running into out of the way places, or up onto fairly unremarkable mountaintops that didn't offer much in the way of interesting areas, sadly.

Clearly wow killer.
Don't start the "wow killer" stuff in these forums. This is an official warning. -EdgeLast edited by Edge-; 2012-02-23 at 08:38 PM.

I love the fact that some of these platforming/exploration challenges will actually have traps to avoid and other such goodies. I can already imagine the frustration after spending 10 minutes to get to a certain point and then falling to my death or being knocked off by some random thing.

Im sorry to say, this looks awful. Never been able to find any joy out of hopping/climbing from spot to spot to get from location a to location b.
