This time doesn't reflect on the hours I put into the base game or the previous expansion. Nor did I track my WvW time to collect rewards and S L O W L Y build my first legendary weapon. (One day I will get you Sunrise. You will be mine.)

Path of Fire introduced vast new zones and mounts! The mounts in this game differ from Elder Scrolls Online and WoW. The mounts do more than get you from point A to point B. The springer mount is a rabbit that can jump to reach tall cliffs. The skimmer ray mount can glide across areas that are dangerous, like sulfur pits, quicksand, etc. It brought a unique experience of mounts in MMOs. Not just something to ride faster. For the most part I loved the new zones too. Only thing I did not appreciate were the death pits: sulfur, quicksand, etc. If you run in the wrong area or accidentally fall into these areas, you're dead. Just dead. Quick. It ended being frustrating at times more than challenging.

We're not finished with this expansion. Not by a long shot. We still have two hidden mounts to earn and many, many achievement challenges. But we wanted to move on with the story a bit before we spent all our energy on challenges. I do not want to be burnt out again. There's so much you can choose to do in this game.
