Favorite Explorable area in GW and why?

Searched 5 min, no thread like this.

Please write your favorite Explorable Area in GW, this is for theme/environment exclusively (i.e. the mob/ quest difficulty should not influence the "quality" of the area)

My favorite is the Fissure of Woe!

Why?

*The sky looks beautiful, it feels so exotic to me no matter how many time I spawn to FoW

*Also I like the music theme lol



EDIT: Grammar

Tyria: Pre Searing :>
Cantha: Wajjun Bazaar (great athmosphere)
Elona: Barbarous Shore (<3 the Corsair Hideout)

Tyria - FoW
Cantha - Fail
Nightfall - Fail

Traveler's Vale...is that right?

Prophecies - North Kryta Province
Factions - Pongmei Valley
Nightfall - The Mirror of Lyss
EyeNorth - Drakkar Lake

I've got more than one so... not exactly easy for me to chose x]. Added some.

Tyria: North Kryta Province - awesome lighting in there... and the beach. Oh and Snake Dance.
Cantha: Pogmei Valley, so peaceful. The other one would be Jaya Bluffs, the snow and grass contrast plus the awesome lighting.
Elona: The explorable after doing Abbadon's Gate. Really love the glowing columns.
EotN: Ice Cliff Chasm and some parts of Bjora Marches. The sky is so, so, so pretty.

Any area in the Jade Sea. Beautiful atmosphere, soothing music.

Tyria, Nebo Terrace
Cantha, Gyala Hatcery
Elona, that place just outside Kodash to the right (just for looks)
EN, Riven Earth


Overall, Riven Earth

Pongmei Valley

It has a bit of every area of cantha in it and some great scenery of its own

1) The Northlands in pre. It turns an autumnal orange whe you approach the boss shrine.

2) The Arid Sea. It's so desolate, quiet and sits alone at the bottom of the Crystal Desert.

3) Naphui Quarter because of the Celestial sky and rooftop hopping.

4) Pongmei Valley (as Diddy says). It has to be the most diverse explorable area ever with loads of species like Am Fah people, Yetis, Wallows, Wardens, Jade Brotherhood and Kirins. It's the heart of Cantha because you can see Kaineng City, The Echoval Forest and The Jade Sea from it.

5) Raisu Palace because of the golden and red tiles on the floors. Koosun looks amazing, too.

6) Turai's Procession because of the Oasis-like environment.

7) All of Vabbi. I love the luxury holiday resort theme. Fountains, floating fauna, waterfalls, golden rooftops on blue buildings. My jaw dropped the first time I reached the Kodash Bazaar.

lol, but FoW is in all 3 chapters... why is FoW cool in tyria and not in cantha + NF?

anyway, my fave area is... dunno if it counts, but its last chamber at Frostmaw's Burrows

I liked Ettin Farming in North Kryta a lot.

kessex peak because of verta and all his followers when you fight them in hard mode=halariously easy but fun at the same time

Tyria - Scoundrel's Rise - My jaw dropped when I first saw the lush beaches and great tropical scenery of Kryta.
Cantha - Pongmei Valley - It was awesome seeing some green grass and mountains after seeing the urban browns and reds of Kaineng for months.
All of Echovald Forest and Jade Sea - beautiful
Elona - Mehtani Keys - Absolutely loved the beaches here. Just wanted to get a surfboard out.
Gandara, Mahnkelon - Loved the structures in these two
All of Vabbi - absolutely astonishing
EotN - Ice Cliff Chasms - love the sky
Grothmar Wardowns - Loved feeling like I was back in pre
All of Tarnished Coast - Loved the atmosphere

I totally forgot about this place:



If this explorable area is Kodash Bazaar, I am sure it will be the current Spamadan/LA...

Ice Flow-snow and mursaat <3
and FoW ofc

the rest just isn't pretty

xD

Sorrow's Furnace is my favorite area because the designers managed to implement a great sense of scale there.

Other areas I like:

Ice Tooth Cave
Frostmaw's Burrows
Underworld

Sorrow's Furnace Landscapes:

Mount Qinkai, love the landscape.

to be honest with you there is actually not one area in the game i dont like

Tyria - North Kryta Province. I just love the beach and the Ascalonian Settlement there. I have a friend where when we have nothing to do we just go to the beach and play around (After clearing the mergoyles of course ).

Factions - Sunqua Vale. That area is so diverse, you can travel from the coastline to the mountains in only a few minutes. Plus, I just love the atmosphere. Like the secluded monestary in the mountains, or the dam at Lake Puang, or even the ministers courtyard.

Nightfall - It all sort of ran together, the entire game looked alike so it's hard to figure out one specific place I favor. Probably I'd have to say the Garden of Seborhin.

EotN - I love the area around the EotN and the Charr territory. It always takes my breath away when I come around the corner and see the Eye after coming from Boreal Station, plus I like Gwen's little garden around the corner. And the Charr lands are just so nice to be in, beautiful autumn forests, nice green grass, and such well maintained roads.

My favorite I'd have to say is North Kryta though. It's fun to go to the beach then visit the peeps at the settlement.
