Is there any reason to explore

By the way, I hope they add more sightseeing spots on 3.4 or 3.5 and REALLY hope that 4.0 sightseeing is more like the original ARR one, where you actually needed to parkour to get to the spots.

I'd rather the sightseeing log sent us to places where there are actual sights to see rather than jump onto the right post at the right time of day under the right weather conditions even though there's nothing special to see there. What a waste of a "sightseeing" log.


As for exploring, though, you do it to see the scenery or when new to learn your way around. Plus, if you're the type who likes to talk to all the NPCs to learn what's going on in the world, finding them is another reason. There's little outposts, settlements, and lone characters scattered around, many in places you won't know about from just the map alone.

Well I did mine with 2 friends and it was probably my most fun experience in this game. Thinking about "How do I get up there" and using mounts, sprint, Swiftsong to change your jumping speed so you can land right on the spot.

The Heavensward sightseeing log actually does it well for the most part. Only a few require tricky-ish jumps, and no time/weather requirement.
