hello

just wanted to ask what you found to be the most beautiful areas in gw and why. i know this is a little simmilar to the nicest spot thread, but i mean a whole map or city not just a little place on a map.

i ask because after finishing the last mission i didnt know what to do and just wanderd around with my ranger and tried to explore the maps i havent been before. so i went to kryta and a little while later stumbeld into the telmark wildness (rough translation i dont know if its called like this in english). opon entering it my mouth just popped open and i gazed at the amazingly beautifull jungel landscape with annimals running trough it and mist coming from the ground. it was just magnificent.

so if you had a special map too, feel free to post here (screens would be awesome too^^)

In my opinion, either the Maguuma Jungle, or Lyssa's cave in Mineral Springs.

Now that I have seen Cantha ..... I really like the Jade Sea.

Forget what they are called but whispy dragonlike things that float up and down over Jade Sea were really great.

Standing up on top of the hill where the rabbit is in Pre-Searing was one of my favorites. Maguuma Jungle is nice once all the spiders are dead.

I didn't find the Jade Sea as nice as I expected, granted I didn't see it all.

I love Pre-Searing, some of the night-time areas of the Shiverpeaks, and the Jade Sea. All beautiful. I also enjoy Lyssa's Cave (when I actually get there...).

The courtyard area of ToPK and HA is a pretty good looking place. I also like the presaer's hidden garden and Wizard's tower after Galrath and Vereta's things are all gone.

Talk of the hidden garden reminds me of how lost I was in Pre-Searing my first time though the game. I thought it was huge, was I in for a surprise. Ah, the memories.

Hidden garden?

I have my fourth character in Pre-, and I'm trying to take him all over the map. Found lots of things I hadn't seen before, like the south side of the snowy area, and the "cave" in the far Northwest.

I THINK I've been through everything except the part of beyond-the-wall that the charr army cuts off, but I don't know for sure ...

Seconded... in general, pre-searing is beautiful, but when you enter Wizard's Folly for the first time from the Ashford side and see the green fields gradually sloping into the snow-covered hills far ahead... it's breathtaking.

Yes, I have been there, it's somewhere in the area of LA. Tried to enter that little beach but couldn't, the water is too deep to cross.

Actually it's way north of LA above beetletun like mistress said.
The picture kinda got screwed up when I changed the format but it really is the most stunning place...besides maybe the maguuma waterfalls.

This would be a good forum game, if it isn't already. It could be called "Guess that place".

I like hanging out in fisherman's haven. It used to be around henge of denravi, but that just makes me think about bugs and spiders too much. I also really like how dragons gullet looks, all the ruined statues and art laying around, with the tar pits and everything. Looks magnificent to walk through, it's like learning about some historical civilization or something, but not really.

Hmmm... I can't decide between these two...
Think Anet should probably gave the designers of these areas a bonus...

1) Presearing -- from where the rabbit is, looking down
2) Watchtower Coast -- north of Beetletun

I'd have to say my favorites places are:

1. Pre-sear
2. Majesty's Rest

I must admit that the pics of Watchtower Coast are bringing out the day-tripper in me again. Forgot how nice it is there.

It's the secret garden in pre-searing definitely... found it on my first character... really gives you that "lost world" feeling. Then another extremely beautiful place is that (I think I might be one of the few that found the bug - I suggest you all to try it!) hill you can climb just outside Barradin's Estate in pre-searing. The fence is bugged there and you can actually go up the hill. Beautiful view - you can see into The Northlands and all the way up to the first snowy regions of the southern wizard peaks.
