Cantha - Panjiang Penisula, the beach feels like a little hide away, beyond a hill of trees.

Tyria - Talus Chute. I mapped it the other day and found the ups-and-downs to be great, beautiful scenary there.

Elona - The Forum Highlands, and I have no idea why, it's got that 'desert' pretty.

Prophecies - Pre-Searing will always be one my favorites visually. I like Borlis Pass - something about lighting torches with snow falling and wind blowing, I guess. The Crystal Desert has some interesting places to explore.

Factions - There are lots of places in Factions that I like - starting with Sunqua Vale. I like the Echovald Forest/Kurzick side of the map and Mount Quinkai on the Luxon side.

Nightfall - Lahtenda Bog, Forum Highlands, Resplendent Makuun.

Eye of the North - Grothmar Wardowns, Dalada Uplands, and Magus Stones.

Tyria: I really liked the Maguuma jungle and Crystal desert, wonderful atmosphere, and great music. Of course, you cant forget pre-searing Regent Valley.

Cantha: Most of Shing jea was very beautiful, but i would have to say my favourite is the eerie beauty of the Echovald. Jade sea is pretty as well.

Elona: I thought most of Elona was kinda bland, especially the desolation. Istan, with its jungle/desert-like atmosphere was probably the most atmospheric. Vabbi, for the most part was pretty (didnt really like the desert-like cliff areas), especially garden of seborhin.

Northern Tyria: Every last bit of the Charr homelands made my jaw drop, completely breathtaking. It feels like pre searing again, though different for the better. More autumn-feeling, especially the small, secluded (bamboo?) forests with the mantids in Grothmar. The Tarnished Coast wasnt bad, though it cant even start comparing to the Charr Homelands. I thought the Norn areas were kind of blah, considering 2 of the other campaigns featured snowy mountains (Remember sunqua vale?) and it felt over-used.

Tyria -> The falls. ooooo so cool
Cantha -> Gyala Hacthery Explorale... can't beat that in any way.
Elona -> Jahai Bluffs

No! Factions=fail.

MithranArkanere · Jan 28, 2008, 12:15 AM // 00:15

Tyria: The Falls, I LOVE that 'Lost Temple of Balthazar' place.
Cantha: Sunqua Vale. Grass, Snow, Yeti, Naga, Oni, Tengu, Crimsom Skull, Mantis, Ox, ... it has it all
Elona: Any of the ones that have a Fortress with an acolyte.
Eye of the North: Charr lands. Asura 'floating rocks' maps.

I love to pull kournans one by one until finally killing them.

freaky naughty · Jan 28, 2008, 01:18 AM // 01:18

Tyria: The Falls, that place kicks ass
Cantha: I like Kurzick areas where there are huge stone cathedrals.
Elona: That large bridge of souls in RoT
EotN: Sacnoth Valley in the burning forest parts is the most epic scenery I've ever seen, has to be my favorite scenery in game.

Volitar · Jan 28, 2008, 01:32 AM // 01:32

Overall I like the Fissure of Woe the best. The otherworldly feel of it really makes it a fun place to adventure in. I also like how open-ended it is and after nearly three years it still isn't boring for me.

Ice Cliff Chasms, Rhea's Crater, Dejarin Estate and the Charr Lands get special nods as well. Plus, the Domain of Pain for how unique it is. :P

great sir s · Jan 28, 2008, 01:44 AM // 01:44

Pre-Searing atmosphere + music > EVERYWHERE in the enitre game itself, hands down.

im actually thinking about deleting one of my 20's i never use to make a perma pre just for the pure fun and enjoyment of it.

Taurucis · Jan 28, 2008, 01:58 AM // 01:58

Tyria: Tears of the Fallen - simply for the name. I was going to make a guild named that, but apparently it was taken. I also like the scenery of that region of Kryta.
Cantha: I like the Deep. I've always had a thing for semitransparent crystalline places...
Elona: Turai's Procession. The sky is awesome, and I know that area well because I used to farm... ah, kidnap Margonites there. A close second would be Kodash Bazaar.
EotN: Jaga Moraine. Not only do I like the name, I just like how barren and open it is...

Zeek Aran · Jan 28, 2008, 02:14 AM // 02:14

NF = no where
Cantha = Ferndale
Tyria = certain places in Kryta/Maguuma near water, UW without a roof, Arid Sea, Perdition Rock
GWEN = any icy dungeon, any place in Charr land, Duncan's spot

Shadowlance. · Jan 28, 2008, 03:12 AM // 03:12

My favorite is Grothmar Wardowns. The scenery is varied and all beautiful. My favorite spot on the map is just south of the burned area where the quest "Against the Charr" starts. There's a waterfall in the background with some snow-covered pines to the west. That backdrop has made more than one desktop wallpaper in my collection.

Another favorite for different reasons is the Dasha Vestibule mission. I like the puzzles and wish GW would haved more puzzle-based quests/missions. I realize most folks would likely look up the solutions on wiki, but I prefer to solve them on my own since ultimately it's more rewarding.

mazey vorstagg · Jan 28, 2008, 06:23 AM // 06:23

I love Pre-searing, the music and landscape is beautiful. Although the charr homelands looks similar it's not quite the same, it doesn't feel the same.

My favourite area in the whole of GW is a hard question, probably somewhere in Kryta, maybe Watch Tower coast, I'd like to have a little house there.

Continants:

Tyria: Watchtower Coast
Cantha: Peijang Peninsula
Elona: No where, Elona doesn't get me somehow
Northlands: Hall of Monuments

Numa Pompilius · Jan 28, 2008, 08:46 AM // 08:46

Grothmar wardowns, because it looks like an updated pre-sear.

Crystal desert, for the peace and tranquility.

DarkGanni · Jan 28, 2008, 08:49 AM // 08:49

Pongmei Valley, loved it since the preview weekend, since I bought the game, my goal was to reach Pongmei.

- Ganni

I was disappointed when i found out it wasn't an outpost after having watched the trailers and seen screens xD

Favourite areas would probably be in pre, just love that peaceful atmosphere.

Olim Chill · Jan 28, 2008, 01:27 PM // 13:27

Tyria: The Crystal Desert is my favorite region, so any explorable area there.

Cantha: Nothing there thrills me enough to call it a favorite.

Elona: I like the areas in Kourna best.

Crom The Pale · Jan 28, 2008, 02:37 PM // 14:37

I would have to say pre-searing simply because that was the point where I started and really had the most fun exploring. For most of GW after that you were spending most of your time looking at the radar to pull mobs or avoid them. Fighting became predominate and exploring fell to the side.

thor hammerbane · Jan 28, 2008, 03:07 PM // 15:07

Prophecies: The Desert. So nostalgiac for me, because I recall it being a big problem on my first character. I just remember the days, exploring the entire desert with henchmen, looking for unexplored goodies

.
Cantha: The Jade Sea (Any area really). Luxons rule!
Elona: It's all pretty boring..
