Guild Wars 2 - Weekly Watercooler - Guild Wars 2’s Path of Fire Tests - MMORPG.com
Many of us sat down with Guild Wars 2’s Path of Flame tests over the past two weekends, and this weekend we got together to hammer out how we felt about the expansion’s early content and elite specs. In short, we’re hopeful. Path of Flame seems like a huge improvement over Heart of Thorns, and in-step with the progress the Living World Season 3 made towards making open world content fun again.

For folks who know the drill just like in HOT we will unlock these new skills and abilities with ease.
It will be the same story told every time those who feel left behind or requires too much effort.
Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.
I found each bounty I did to be quite challenging. A lot more fun with a group of 3 people. Its like open world fractal bosses.
You do know that both the mastery system and elite specializations were there in HoT? Thus post-max level progression has been here for 2 years.
I love fail comments , thay say something like they are well informed but u can see that they played game years ago
Not at all. You don't even need to buy HoT if you don't want any elite specs that came with it or gliding. You can create a character and skip all HoT content if you want. From this aspect Gw2 expensions are a lot like Gw1 expensions. They are like standalone expensions. Vanilla Gw2 is already f2p so you only need to buy PoF if you wanna play Gw2 and don't have an account already.
Here comes the "Oh it's gated" or "You mean I have to unlock it?"
When you don't want the truth, you will make up your own truth.
Besides a few jumping puzzle areas, spvp, and wvw (maybe) mounts can be used in core, HOT, and POF.
Yes, the glider does come in handy if you fall. No updrafts or laylines to ride. They really should add some, perhaps later.

No
No problem. I think many new people may skip HoT all together so don't feel pressured into buying it. I don't think you will need glider skills for this new expansion at all since mount skills will be the focus. I do imagine them adding a mount later that acts as a glider maybe, but again you won't need HoT for that.
