StationOfbarny: This video is shorter than the time Lara spends jumping around aimlessly in game before getting into content.
altarium4220: Brisban Wildlands deserves more love imo. It’s GW2’s equivalent to the Barrens from classic WoW, as sylvari, asura and some human players will all converge here after level 15-20, so you get tons of activity and variety.

The flow is just fantastic, as each race gets their own entrance to the map, focused on their main antagonistic faction, but the events eventually lead into dealing with the Sinister Triad, an “alliance” between bandits, Inquest and Nightmare Court, (which is basically what inspired Scarlet’s whole plan).

Also, Skrittsburgh is an awesome area.

Dark Lara is ever lurking just under the surface.
mateusznawrot8941: Lowland Shore is a proof that Anet still got it when it comes to map design. It just boiles down to having enough time/resources to deliver good map experience.
jonasalmstrom4986: Finally seeing the GOAT Verdant Brink on top.
That map is responsible for my continued love of the game
L00pTroop: Wayfarer foothills at least (!) B tier, maybe A tier. Why? There are so cool and variable quests like the raven riddles, playing as snow leopard with the little ones is so cute, throwing snowballs on childs, catching bear kegs, how can you rate this C tier?
Afkhalla: Wayfarer Foothills will always have a special place in my heart, just for the fact, i completed that map on the very first beta weekend of GW2.. It's my ultimate entry into the game. S Tier.
LaHuguu: I'm amazed at how they still can differenciate one core map from one other
ginster458: Honestly, Wayfarer Foothills is the best starter map by far. You have the small village/ valley part that introduces you to the Spirits of the Wild and the Svanir, Jotun, Dredge and Grawl with actual lore about them. You have cool events and event chains even. A vista that introduces the idea of jumping puzzles. Then the separate tutorial area opens up as the story takes you over/through the mountains. You have homesteads, hot springs, a jumping puzzle, ice cliffs and when you fought through it all the ice citadel at the top. The only downside is that the shaman is the most boring World Boss by far — also, why does he appear at a random lake and not in the citadel?! But when it comes to a new player that knows neither the game nor the lore of the world/their race, Wayfarer Foothills is without a doubt the best starter map
icapi7961: The underappreciation of Thunderhead peaks... Mind boggling
Paistovsky: Tangled Depths is the best map in the game.
