Oftentimes I turn off Winamp while in Shing Jea or the Jade Sea, then just kinda sit there for a lil while with the game music on. It's neat.

I just started playing Prophecies about 2 weeks ago, and while in pre-searing Ascalon I absolutely did stop and gap at the gorgeous vistas. I would stand at the top of a hill and just pan around admiring the scenery. Actually, I explored every inch of pre-searing Ascalon before moving on. I'm glad I did. Ascalon post-searing is very depressing and definitely not so pretty. It's like it's in a nuclear winter--perhaps that is what the game designers were going for. Very sad. I'm glad I spent a lot of time in pre-searing, it makes me appreciate what happened to Ascalon.

I often stop to take a look at something that catches my eye. I particularly like the jungle area of Tyria...especially The Falls.

i apreciate the scenery when something pops out at me like in the crystal overlook where you see a statue in the crystal desert that a proph character would think hmm wasnt that knocked down the last time i was there made me chuckle

I definitely take the time to enjoy my surroundings. Especially when I'm running to droks for the 800th time or something, I notice something new each time.

The Shiverpeaks is by far my favorite out of all the areas. Anet pwns other mmos with their artwork. Daniel Docieu pwns people with his brain

Yes, I do love the graphics. I probably don't give them the credit they deserve.

Although, not having read the entire set of comments posted on the thread, I'll just say it myself. I'm becoming increasing worried about that lack of modesty and covering armor provides. Yes, many thousands of people love to look at it, but for the rest of us (which are many) I plead that ANet stops doing this! If my basic opinion doesn't make anyone feel it should be changed, then these reasons back it up.

1)Armor that is revealing and impractical. Armor like that would get a person chopped to shreds.

2)I'm sure they can't run around in armor that is solid metal and in the middle of winter (In EOTN's case).

3)Many other people share this opinion.

So as to satisfy everyone, ANet should come up with a way to change the "viewing" ability. Maybe having a "view toggle button" or something similar.

Although, to restate and stick to the subject, I LOVE the scenery's beautiful views.

I deleted my 20GB of GW screenshots a few weeks ago.
So many spectacular sights... all gone!

But yes, I do appreciate the art!

Faction has very hot looking place, such as shing jea island shore and jade sea.

Fluffiliscious · Dec 28, 2007, 05:21 PM // 17:21

I usually stop at least a couple of times through a quest or farming jaunt to gaze at something that either I never noticed before or that catches my eye every time. There are so many things that are beautiful in the scenery that we're never allowed to explore, though. Sometimes I wish we could go trapsing through the ruins and buildings.

Neo Nugget · Dec 28, 2007, 05:25 PM // 17:25

I do when in pre

Anika Croft · Dec 28, 2007, 07:22 PM // 19:22

I love to stop and admire the scenery every once in a while, here are some of the pics I have taken when traveling through EoTN and Prophecies.

well, if the trend for armor continues down, will we get a bonus for running our fem toons topless?

j/k

I do appreciate the graphics, I also intend on appreciating them more when my new graph card gets to me on the 2nd, this onboard P.O.S. is killing me.

Jaceb · Dec 28, 2007, 10:35 PM // 22:35

I try to do that almost everywhere. Maguuma Jungle, Majesty's Rest etc and places with waterfalls are something that make me stop for a while but i do find that something in desert areas too. Simplest thing can actually look quite good sometimes. Prophecies deserts for example.

CyberMesh0 · Dec 28, 2007, 10:44 PM // 22:44

My sole purpose for getting Legendary Cartographer was to see all the wonderful places GW has hidden. The Falls still amaze me, I revisited them recently to vanquish and they were just <3

kartmaster · Dec 28, 2007, 10:56 PM // 22:56

Most definetly enjoy the graphics. There's some very artistic locations throughout the game. Most all of Factions was gorgeous. The Falls in Prophecies. The burning forest in EotN. Many many more. Can't wait to see what GW2 has in store!

mortalplight · Dec 29, 2007, 06:12 AM // 06:12

I spend a lot of time gawking at the graphics. I turned on my fan at low so I could feel the breeze at one point...
