My 3 favs are:

Lions Arch - looking out at the ship in the distance and the little fishy swimming just off the shore.

Camp Rankor - Looking out over the Sorrows Furnace, reminds me of Sarumans Tower in LOTR looking out over his orcs.

Jahai Bluffs (sp?) - The huge waterfall next to the massive clay towers.

pre searing is just beautifull

if you have a good video card/monitor combo, any of the southers shiverpeaks areas are beautiful, but they will blind u

also the Hall of Hero's with the gold misty aura around the alter is just own

A large treehouse I saw in an explorable area in Kurzick turf.

Anywhere in the S. Shivers.

Presear, in the forest with the bear hunters. My brother and I wandered around on rangers, hunting bear and drinking ale. Was great fun, and looked gorgeous.

Watchtower Coast, Fisherman's Haven, Kessex Peak, Majesty's Rest, Twin Serpant Lakes, Deldrimor War Camp, and that Mineral Springs cave area.

Some of these places are well known, some kind of obscure but it is some of the best Tyria has to offer.

Tyria places really stick to me since it had alot of areas where you didn't even need to visit, which made exploration so much more interesting. With Factions and Nightfall, they sort of press exploration on you making it seem less of an epic camping trip journey.

Since no one has mentioned it, the lava falls in FoW are pretty spectacular.

Reks · Jan 16, 2007, 07:07 AM // 07:07

Tears of the Fallen. It's a nice place but I only mentioned it because I think it has the coolest name... <_< Otherwise, I'd really like to explore more of Mehtani Keys. That's an ingame vacation spot right there.

I'd also like to give a nod to the Domain of Fear in RoT... It was one of the few places to really WOW me. There's something awe-inspiring whenever I see those HUGE claws in the skyline.

That place taught me to actually look up every once in a while.

pixiLated · Jan 16, 2007, 07:14 AM // 07:14

For me it has to be Dragons Lair, Tyria. I know it's a mission but it has some of the most beautiful scenery in all of the 3 campaigns so far.

A very close second would be Southern Shiverpeaks.

Poison Ivy · Jan 16, 2007, 07:21 AM // 07:21

Anywhere in the Realm of Torment.

zara · Jan 16, 2007, 07:22 AM // 07:22

Two places in the Underworld, Grenth's Monument int he Chaos Planes. The blue mists rising from the chasms is pretty cool looking. The other place is Grenth's Monument in the Twin Serpent Mountains. From there you can look out across nearly all of the Underworld. After those, then Serenity temple when we have favor and Grenth's temple in Lornar's Pass.

Cow Tale · Jan 16, 2007, 07:26 AM // 07:26

the birch trees in mineral springs! the waterfall next to spiritgarden in the eternal grove explorable is pretty sweet lookin too.

some guy · Jan 16, 2007, 07:51 AM // 07:51

Most parts of Shing Jea island!

Vabbi is cool too, floating trees and carpet bridges ftw!

Whenever I pass through that section, I ALWAYS take the long way to go up that cliff section. just something nice about it.

Tyria:

The Falls
Twin Serpent Lakes
Dry Top- just for the buildings there

Cantha:
Drazach Thicket
Zen Daijun explorable- out by the docks
Monastery Overlook - it's neat to look all the way to Seitung Harbor

Elona:
I haven't explored Elona as much as I want to. nothing springs to mind except maybe the Lahtenda Bog, Mehtani Keys...

Alya · Jan 16, 2007, 08:26 AM // 08:26

Dolmens in Talmark Wilderness -- a lovely place, I'm surprised that not many people ever bother to get there.

Balthazar's Temple in the Falls.

The "back path" in Ring of Fire -- some amazing lava pools there.

In Thunderhead Keep, the Jade Portal of the Mursaat and a view at the mountains outside the keep.

Pre Searing in Tyria far before everything else

When I started I thought whole game would look like that

Unfortunatly that proved me sooo wrong!

Queenie · Jan 16, 2007, 10:10 AM // 10:10

Tyria:
Pre-Searing Ascalon
The statue of Lyssa in the Mineral Springs
Crystal Desert

I really like the looks of Sorrow's Furnace best.

Fallen Hunter · Jan 16, 2007, 10:34 AM // 10:34

The ring of fire looks awesome, I loved exploring perdition rock with my ranger. I also like the realm of torment, shing jea and pre searing

RPGmaniac · Jan 16, 2007, 10:36 AM // 10:36

For me, I love Pre-searing, Kryta, The Falls (in the maguuma jungle), Dragon's Lair (seeing the reflections on the icy parts at the end of each facet is just beautiful), Shing Jea, Melandru's Hope, the entire Jade Sea, Issnur Isles and Mehtani Keys. I love the scenery there and sometimes I'll take a character through there just to admire it.
