i'll do another one since i played a lot since my last post here:

i actally like the achievments. Something i never even thought about in Hot. I recently had a lot sparetime and used it for pve and i really liked it. Everything feels kinda fluid and Fitting. Some achievments are quite hard and exhausting (like gathering those kitten Blooms for a Piece of armour) But other are extremly rewarding like the dwarfmine or the Dschinn jewelry thingy.

I still have a lot to explore in PoF but as for now here is what I think.

Storytelling AMAZING work, it gets better and better. As someone who remember vanilla story and LW1 it's an AMAZIN upgrade, dialogs are wonderfull, I was having a BLAST playing the story! I can't wait fo the next part!

Maps/Viasuals Breathtaking, this is a masterpiece imo. The maps are amazing! The Visials are just incerdible! Yet there are too much mobs... their aggro range is too high I can't take a break and just watch the beautifull scenery becouse I'm getting attacked non stop... this is a PAIN. Becouse of this I mostly rush from point to point...And I miss meta events...

Mounts What You did there is amazing, this is the best mount implementation I've seen in a MMO. Mouths gave so much not only for PoF but also HoT and core Tyria, love it.

New Specialisation From my experience some of them gave a BIG impact on a class playstyle and some... did not. As a Mesmer main I LOVE Mirage in open world. Scourge is amazing, Firebrand is a return to core Guardian, Spellbreaker is fun... Renegade is... just the same old Revenant I didn't feel much changed even with SB it's not too different from the core proffesion.

Mastery I feel like the mastery in HoT was better designed. It had more impact on the world.

Bounty's fun with small groups, boring as hell with larger ones.

HP I think there should be something between HoT and PoF, some of them in HoT where too hardcore for solo players, in PoF they are just too easy.

There is still room for upgrades, but I love the QoL stuff.Thank You for a great adventure!

Having finished the story, map completion, my elite spec and mount masteries less than a month after the expansion released, I was slightly disappointed. I recently had a "what now" moment, and I am currently doing old content because I'm not sure what I should be doing in PoF after completing the things above.

I loved the story, and I love the zones, I think they are all well done. But I think the difficulty level of getting items that were features of the expansion (mounts, mastery points, hero points) was a bit easy. After the difficulty of getting anything and anywhere in heart of thorns, a change was definitely needed for the solo casual player, but I think it might be too far in the opposite direction. The monsters in POF hit hard, and do a lot of damage but otherwise everything was relatively easy.

I do miss big meta events, it seems those are lacking in PoF, I think if we had larger meta events that gave good rewards, the zones wouldn't feel as...not empty ...but maybe unused is a better word.

I also felt like the last half of the story was rushed. You spend a lot of time in the first two zones and then just say "hi ...bye" to the Desolation which is an interesting zone but you stop there for 5 minutes before moving on to vabbi, which again your not in all that long.

All in All I do like PoF and I love mounts, but it felt a little like a Living Story 4 installment than an expansion. I actually found Living Story 3 zones/ideas much more interesting and find myself going back to those zones for the rewards and events....I have not returned to PoF really since finishing the map completion.

Also- as a side note - One thing I do not like about the story since Living Story 2 is not being able to skip the dialogue. We love the story, and listen to it even in the old original story...but my husband and I had frequent crashes during the dialogue on quest steps in PoF that would cause us to have to replay a chapter over and over. If we would have had the option to skip dialogue it would have resolved this issue or at least made the replay (I'm looking at you eater of souls) more bareable when we would have to do a 45 minute quest 6 times. A lot of times we would be finished with the quest, and crash in the last scene of dialogue.

I would like to attribute my feedback to the best kitten post from reddit I had ever seen. https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/72egdv/reddit_reviews_guild_wars_2_path_of_fire/

It is true. You guys delivered everything we asked for and because we are not as forward when we enjoy aspects of the game, the devs are missing half the picture. Kudos on a thoughtful and engaging expansion relying on feedback. I feel this one was far superior to hot and it gives me hope again for future expansions. I like everything from the mounts to the wide open expanses of maps. I am not in the least perturbed by the lack of meta events; in fact, I am hopeful a smaller map released as part of living world will be a meta map similar to TD or even DS. (I like the DS structure) I honestly can not imagine such a large map trying to pull off an AB event nor do I want to. It sounds dreadful. And thank you for making Necro via Scourge useful again in raids! Please don't make me eat my words....

My only complaint and it is a very small complaint... is the trickle effect I have witnessed in the POF maps. It is one thing to see that there are 10 bosses on top of a gathering node, chest etc and decide... yes I have time/energy/ability to take on those things to reap my reward and quite another to be ambushed. But ambushed isn't quite the right word either is it? I will stop for a flax... realizing I have to kill the three snakes near it to be able to mount... by the time they are dead? OH LOOK! A sand lion wants to come play once all my best hitting skills are on cooldown... sure, okay I can do this. Oh... look... a hydra wants, wait what is that? Okay a troop of unhappy awakened... I have such PTSD that though gathering through the open world as I explore is usually fun this trickle effect of monsters with rather large aggro ranges combined with large wandering paths has diminished if not extinguished my enjoyment of this aspect of exploring. But it admittedly is a very small thing and my only grief with this expansion. Thank you for a great job!

Only started last week on the new map. Had to catchup with all the previous stories (Hot and LW3) and maps first :).

I like the mounts (especially my raptor) and enjoy the race which happens in Amnoon. Can't really say much about the story, as i havent left amnoon yet.

Things i dislike sofar, lack of waypoints, to much monsters have some akward range skills with insane range. The maps aren't explorer friendly, due to to many creatures around and agro a lot.

Overall difficulty of the map and creatures. Noticed this living world season 3, it goes up every map and to a point it becomes to difficult. At least for me. I can't image people who could enjoy this if they aren't in full ascended gear.

Love the Expansion. Love: Story, Mounts, Holosmith, New Maps. I love that the focus is on the exploration and that time has been allowed for people to play the story and discover the maps at a more casual place. I don't think they need more meta events, at least not for a whiiiiiile. Great job ANET!

I don't see any reason for the 24-slot and 28-slot bags to be soulbound. All that account-bound crafting is already anoying, but now I can't even use my own leatherworker to craft hamaseen bags for my other chars, without gathering eighteen Supreme Runes of Holding before?!

On the plus side, the story is good. It weaves a more complicated and evolved storyline that I enjoyed. The maps are wonderful. I particularly enjoyed the building architecture and detailed styling. I also love that they are difficult in places but if learned, they are navigable by being attentive to the surroundings and choosing when to fight. The encounters and events are as good as ever, if not better. I do like that the final mount acquisition is tied to the story and that its actually doable (well, so far) and that the story was able to be completed by my rather squishy character.One negative: Be nice if mounts took more damage before dismount occurred and dismounts occurred less frequently such as when talking to NPC's.

Path of Fire felt like a whole new game, it almost felt like Guild Wars 3

the skies of Crystal Desert look so good at night, I wish I have VR.

PoF Mounts are unique compared to other MMO games I played, can't say for griffon though, I am still working on mine :(

During the first week it was difficult playing the story due to bugs and the lag was terrible, but the mounts kept us busy.

I just noticed that on 4k, the interface are so tiny they are almost unreadable image link here: https://i.imgur.com/jT2B1Jdr.jpg I'm sure not most of us will play this game on 4K but it would be nice if it will be optimized.

I expect to see the monoliths or the behemoths of Junundu wurms

I have been to the Bone Palace, I expect it to be larger and grand

Where is Kamadan? did I miss it in the game?

on mounts, even today, I still experienced not being able to dismount, it might be the lag? the skimmer is slow on turns, harder to control compared to other mounts.

among the six, my favorite god is Balthazar, warmongers like us bathed in his glory. lore-wise, no human or mortal should dare to kill a god, not to mention the god of war! there are so many why's in the story and I feel the player (storyline) is overpowered, assuming and arrogant. I cannot wait for the next living world season to start.

amazing map design, I love the HoT maps already because of its dimension thanks to the glider mechanic. but PoF is much more interesting for veterans like us, I noticed that the zones are actually maps in the Nightfall campaign, there are moments I am filled with nostalgia.

Because of Livia, I was anticipating more cameos of old Elona characters like Zhed, Koss, Master of Whispers, Magrid, Sousuke, Razah or Varesh :(

Maps are very well crafted and encourage exploring. I can only imagine what new maps may look and play like in the future.

Mounts are implemented better than I thought they'd be. Precision movement is difficult and at times unnecessarily frustrating.

Between LS3 and PoF Stories, I do not like what story is being told, nor do I like how the story is being told. Its nothing more substantial than plot twists, drama, and shock value. It honestly feels like a television series written for pre-teens. For comparison, I think GW1 Prophecies and Factions are the two best stories told in the Guild Wars universe.

Loot changes are fantastic and need to be re-implemented in Core and HoT Tyria.

Mob AI is pretty good, and both skill usage and availability are improvements. Its the fluidity that I think is the most important to re-implement in Core and HoT AI.

Elite specs and profession changes are excellent and add a lot of interesting mechanics and synergy.

I have difficulties that I cannot find what story choice I made with a certain character. I have multiple characters and forgot what story I choose for the backpiece. Make that visible please in the story log just like with the choice for the order in the first story.

So, it's been 3 weeks already since Path of Fire was released, the second expansion for Guild Wars 2. Enough time to see everything it had to offer, both the good things, and specially the bad things.

Get ready for the good old wall of text.


Wasted mount opportunities

Mounts are great, but they have a lot of bad decisions around them, and so much wasted potential.

The mount races are the worst offender by far. They should be made adventures instead, and then every few minutes, spawn a special event where people is encouraged to complete the adventure under new temporary competitive conditions. Make winning actually important, give traps and tricks to players for use against each other, and require multiple laps to win. Something like this could have been incredibly awesome, yet we got the most bland interpretation of racing ever.

The competitive race could start every 30min, where the normal adventure mode would be disabled. Some examples of racing conditions:

  • Complete X laps to win.
  • Only use X mount.
  • Disqualified if you get dismounted.
  • Traps and tricks you can use against other players.
  • Players outside the race can sabotage racing players.
  • The path changes with each lap.

Then let guilds pay favor to spawn their own races with their own chosen conditions, and you have one of the best community content any MMO could possibly dream of. This competitive mode could be applied to non-race adventures, too.

If you want to take things further, and make mounts relevant outside PoF, add racing tracks to core Tyria. Update the classic zones and the capital cities and give them racing tracks, and use Guild Rushes as templates if you want too. Cities could really welcome this, since they're so empty and useless most of the time. Imagine a race around Rata Sum with portals and people watching and cheering from balconies. A circuit above the roofs of Divinity's Reach. A floating race track in the waters below the Grove. We have the best mounts in the MMO market, and they're just for running? That's a shame, they deserve much more.

Let's talk about mount skins now. It's kinda sad we didn't get any by release, and I'm talking about prestige versions of the normal mounts, not gem store stuff. Few examples:

  • Raptor: Awakened raptor, mummified with golden jewelry.
  • Springer: Dwarven springer, with beard braids and dwarven armor.
  • Skimmer: Ghostly skimmer, translucent with forgotten ornaments.
  • Jackal: Forged jackal, made of metal and fire.
  • Griffon: Crystal griffon, a cleansed branded griffon.

These mount skins could be rewards for playing the game, including participation and competition in races aside from scavenger hunts and more.

What about jumping puzzles? I haven't seen any, which is sad. I would have loved to see jumping puzzles specifically designed for each mount.

Finally, the griffon. I'm fine with it being expensive, but I don't like that there's multiple griffon adventures. Either make the griffon cheaper, or don't gate content behind a barrier of 250 gold. The other mounts didn't get their own set of adventures, and that's not fair in any way. If the griffon is to be an expensive commodity, there shouldn't be that much content for it, or eyebrows start raising. I would love to see a griffon race, but I'm not sure people would like such an awesome thing to be behind a 250g paywall.


Zero content for large groups

One of the best things about this game is the open world content that gets 80+ players working together, united with a common goal. They can be defending camps and escorting supply, fighting against a huge world boss, etc. This is one of the things that makes GW2 unique in the MMO market.

And there's zero of that with PoF, which is a fatal mistake.

We don't need map-wide meta-events that affect the whole flow of the zone, like with HoT. Some world bosses here and there with unique mechanics should be enough. Look back at core Tyria or LW1 for examples on how to do standalone world bosses and meta-events.

Yeah, there are some meta-events in PoF, but they're ridiculously simple, and have awful rewards, if any. There's no incentive to redo them for a second time, you just get your collection items and forget about them, and they aren't fun encounters to begin with.

Examples that could be applied to the current layout without breaking it:

  • Crystal Oasis: Tug of war between the cavaliers and the forged, with capture and defense events for various camps and outposts, caravan escorts, and champion spawns. Similar to the Silverwastes and Scarlet's Minions Invade!.
  • Desert Highlands: Expand the dwarven mines and put a world boss in there, or put a castle in the sky we can visit by night (or upgrade the existing one) to fight some djinn champions.
  • Elon Riverlands: Refugee escort meta-event, similar to the Evacuate Lion's Arch Citizens meta-event from Escape from Lion's Arch (LW1) and Dry Top's Crash Site. Escort more refugees for better rewards, unlock special vendors, or spawn unique awakened bosses.
  • The Desolation: Upgrade the Maws of Torment meta-event to make it longer and more challenging, and include a real world boss at the end, like the Demolisher from Act 1 (who spun around burning everything) or the Warbeast final boss from Act 3. Make this meta-event progress due to player actions, instead of spawning on a timer. The Mordrem Vinewrath from Silverwastes is a perfect example to follow here.
  • Domain of Vabbi: Upgrade the Serpent's Ire meta-event. Make it start in a more spectacular way, like a branded invasion of the zone before/during the forgotten zealot spawns. The final world boss could be much more, too. How about making the hydra even larger, and make fighting his chopped-off heads part of the event too?

The final goal is to give large groups of players something to do together other than bounties, which are fun but aren't a good replacement for classic world bosses and meta-events. Bounties are fine the way they are, friendly for small groups of players, and that shouldn't change.


Rewards are awful; again

The problem doesn't lie in liquid gold, or new available rewards themselves, but in the way you obtain them. They're completely unexciting, to the point they feel invisible. Let's go one by one:

  • Elonian armor: You get the whole set just by doing the story once. Far too easy. They should be part of the expansion loot tables as yellow quality instead, so we can stop getting the same trash from 2012.
  • Spearmarshal armor: Crafting, and rare drops. Crafting useless, since buying from the Trading Post is cheaper anyway.
  • Bounty Hunter's armor: Crafting.
  • Warbeast armor: Crafting, and ultra rare drops.
  • Funerary armor: Collection for the first set, and vendor for the rest. Pretty decent, though I'd prefer if the vendor sold the pieces directly, instead of the chests, so you can preview them and see the stats and runes.
  • Elonian weapons: Drop like candy, completely worthless.
  • Sunspear weapons: Crafting, or rare drops. Crafting useless, since you need the loot weapons for the elite specialization collections.
  • Awakened weapons: Drop often, but not too much. They should drop more, to balance Elonian weapon drops. Give it a 50/50.
  • Mordant weapons: Rare drops. Crafting useless, since they're cheaper at the TP.
  • Funerary weapons: Vendor only, and ridiculously expensive.
  • Elite specialization weapons/armor: Better collections than HoT's, but kinda ruined by asking for loot-only Sunspear weapons.
  • Dwarf weapons: Really fun, but they should be made accountbound. I assume it's a bug. Maybe too easy to get, some extra steps could have helped.
  • Standalone weapons: There aren't many standalone weapons, just 5 exotic loot forged weapons. HoT had 21 standalone weapons, 19 from loot and 2 from the Mystic Forge. Bosses don't have unique skins, really missed opportunity with bounties.
  • Story backpacks: Disappointing to get the same skin for the exotic and ascended versions. Being forced to do the achievements with different characters is kinda annoying too. Collections too easy.
  • Order of Shadows finisher: Vendor only, too expensive, and ugly anyway.
  • Miniatures: Many from vendors and achievements, that's good. Spearmarshal's Plea drops them like candy too, making them worthless, and you can't even forge or salvage them. There are some ultra-rare drop loot miniatures as well.
  • New crafting materials: 99% of them are worthless once again. I don't know why they keep introducing new ones if they're automatically junk by the second week.

The biggest mistakes there are the armor and weapon sets. There's way too much crafting and way too much vendor buying, which is the most boring thing ever. Rewards are good when you get them by playing, not by clicking menu options. We need more collections and more scavenger hunts, and stuff you buy or craft should feel good, and not a chore. Also, recipes for most of the crafting are too expensive and too annoying to get, and you can't sell the results. To make things worse, you can get most armor sets easily in PvP.

I think the biggest mistake with PoF is the lack of a secondary accountbound currency, the likes we had with LW3: Blood Rubies, Petrified Wood, etc. This makes the entire expansion worthless map-wise, since you have no reason to play here or there. This simple design decision made LW3 maps more replayable and more valuable than any PoF map.

Let's talk about Renown Hearts now. They're useless. The point of repeatable hearts is that you can buy something special from them daily, which is absolutely not the case with PoF. There's zero reasons for PoF hearts to be replayable. Their rewards are mostly junk too, only collection items and a miniature. No ascended gear? No unique skins or crafting materials? And every heart has the same things, so you won't even care about completing a specific heart if you ever need coffee or recipes.

Time for the bounties. Mostly pointless rewards, and then the legendary ones give elegy mosaics, a new currency used only for funerary skins. I fail to see how they are related? Shouldn't killing bounties lead to bounty hunter's armor instead? And as I said above, no unique rewards from bounties (or any boss in PoF) is very sad.

And the chests? There's three types. The first, you find them around the map, and need no key. They just give common loot, it's ok, they're for an achievement anyway. The second are trader's, which just give worthless crafting materials most of the time. The third is the ones you find using maps, tiresome to use, and average loot as well. Nothing exciting can ever drop from these chests, and you're wasting your time dismounting to open them.

Also, giving exotic loot weird names is annoying as hell for TP usage. No one cares about that, it's annoying and pointless. Just name them like the skin.

Moving on to achievements, we need more collections. Pretty much every set above should have one. Achievement points need an urgent buff as well, every expansion should give 3k-4k new AP.


Nothing new for core GW2

The biggest flaw of the expansion as a product is that it doesn't offer anything for new players. All the good new stuff is exclusive to the Crystal Desert, and if you don't go there, you won't experience any new content. And by new, I mean 2017 new.

This is a big deal for new players, and no, the Level-80 Boost isn't a good solution at all. Boosted new players won't understand the story, and will suffer against basic enemies because they don't know how to play yet, which in the end, might even drive them away from the game altogether, out of frustration.

Heart of Thorns doesn't have this problem, because it has a new profession, the revenant. New stuff for the core experience, so you don't need to rush to the new expansion zones to get your money's worth of your purchase.

Path of Fire should offer a new way to replay the old content, so that new players that don't want to get boosted want to buy the expansion too. The best solution is to add mounts to the core game as well. They're a big seller, and it's sad to see them locked to the newer content.

A simple dolyak mount would do it, but if you want to take it further, let's go the way of racial mounts:

  • Asura: Wheel - can speed up, but becomes harder to maneuver.
  • Charr: Devourer - can teleport to nearby locations by burrowing.
  • Human: Moa - can double-jump using his wings (jump in the air a single time after leaving the ground).
  • Norn: Dolyak - doesn't get slowed down by hazards, and has more health than the other mounts.
  • Sylvari: Stag - can crush obstacles and knock back enemies in his path with his antlers.
  • Heart of Thorns bonus: Beetle - can glide, using updrafts and ley lines.

Of course that's crazy and there's no way it's happening, but we're just talking ideas here. As I said, a dolyak mount would do it for new players, since leveling 1-80 doesn't take that long.


Other nitpicks

I really dislike the new Awakened and Djinn models. GW1 designs were much, much cooler. The awakened looked like a realistic army, instead of GW2's rabid zombies, and they stood upright and had an eerie masked theme going on. They also represented multiple races, including centaurs and giants. The djinn looked like elementals, instead of zombies in robes. See some screenshots and art below:

I'm also mad that paragons and dervishes are nowhere to be seen. The guardian's elite specialization should have been a paragon homage, wielding 1h javelins or 2h spears, and the dervish could have been reduced to its elemental prayer aspect (since the gods are gone), and be introduced through the elementalist, wielding a 2h scythe.

But that would have required new weapons, which is my personal biggest disappointment with the expansion. This was the right time, and they flopped. I don't know if we'll ever get any new weapons at all (there's multiple hints at spears and greataxes all around PoF) but this expansion was the exact right moment, due to GW1 history, and Nightfall's unique professions.

Guilds not getting any upgrade is an absolute disaster, made worse by the lack of large group content in the expansion. The top priority here should be to merge guild and open world content, so we can keep getting new guild content by just adapting open world content available for everyone. Adventures and bounties are prime examples of content that should have a guild option. Guild Rushes and Guild Bounties could be adapted to become open world content too, adventures and bounties respectively. Make all guild content be repurposed open world content and we won't have to worry about making new stuff for guilds.

I hope the bounty system doesn't get abandoned like many other systems before it, and that it's improved and becomes a permanent feature of the game, with the older zones getting updates with their own bounties too. Bandit champions from LW3 and Guild Bounties could become part of that system, and ideally, all the zones of the game would get their own bounties without too much effort, considering they provide such a good template for replication.

The achievements panel and the LFG need a reorganization, with more sections to keep things more clear. Right now it's a mess with way too much stuff under each tab. Also, split GW2/HoT/PoF dailies into different categories, or offer 8 PvE dailies instead of 4, because they're always such a pain, and PoF only made them worse.

I'm also sad gliding has been deprecated. There isn't a single updraft or ley line in PoF, and that's very, very depressing. Gliding is awesome and I want to see more of it. Masteries have given us so many cool things, but then they just get thrown away in favor of new shinnies all the time. ArenaNet loves to throw away old stuff all the time, even when it's awesome and people want more of it. I'm worried for the future of bounties and mounts if this trend keeps running.

It's unacceptable that there isn't any new content outside the Crystal Desert open world itself, and I'm talking about things like PvE instances (dungeons, fractals, new PvE mode) or updates to WvW and PvP. I know they said those are part of the patch cycles, but I don't think that's a good decision from a marketing perspective. Why would a PvP player buy the expansion? Just for the new elite specializations? Doesn't sound like a plan to me.

Finally, I would like to see a hero point rework some day, because right now, they feel like a chore, absolute filler with no point whatsoever. I would settle with more complex fights (and no communes, leave that for masteries) as long as they become popular events themselves, which get completed often. Maybe give them unique rewards? Merge them with bounties 2.0? And just bring back the good old hero point on level up system from release if this is any problem at all, or make Tomes of Knowledge useful. Maybe make spirit shards a reward from hero points instead. I would have loved hero points where we fight our elite specialization mentors, too, just for fun.


Well, that's it. I think I didn't miss anything.

So, what do I think about Path of Fire? It's good, but not good enough. It feels like a single player game, which is fine for a lot of people who are genuinely enjoying the experience. However, this is an MMORPG, and this approach isn't healthy. We need people playing, engaged by the world and the content, not doing the new stuff and leaving until the next new thing.

Does this mean we should go back to the design of HoT? Hell no. Both of them have the same mistake, and it's polarization of content. Expansions can and should cater to everyone, all those experiences can coexist perfectly. Hell, they did for GW2's original release just fine.

ArenaNet needs to address the biggest problems with PoF and fix them, or it will become dead very quick. We need reasons to go back, and the best way is to rework rewards and improve large group content. That should be the priority.

well, i dunno where else to put my complaint, since there is no "knowledge base dept " for it, but after 3 weeks of fighting bugs, lagg, patches, and all the other frustrating probs with PoF, my friend and I finally beat Balthazar, only to find out that now we have to spend hrs and days and weeks longer completing horrid collections to get our OWN griffon mount, you should give Everyone that prepurchased PoF and was actively playing the game a free griff after story completion, thats my thots, what a mess, grrrrr, i have the 250 gold btw, just sell me one!!!

Maps are beautiful but empty. It's almost impossible to get anywhere as mobs and mobs of bad guys trash me constantly. Love the mounts.

Very unhappy with the part of the personal story requiring me to chase this monster and "catch" it three times. I have nerve issues and cannot for the life of me steer my mount and click on the little box required to catch the thing. I don't know now if I can complete the personal story because of this ONE THING. That's very frustrating.

Maps are stunning but empty af. There's no difficulty in the open world. No maps metas really hurts the game, there's no reason to return to the PoF maps. The story's the best that it's been in years, so don't go back to the HoT or LWS3 style of story-telling (eg. keep Marjory and Taimi in the background). Don't use mounts as an excuse to make large, empty maps. Work with mounts to make good, content-fuelled maps. Turn off the Griffon until you get full map completion in a LWS4 map. Overall... this isn't a content expansion, it's a feature expansion, so my ratings are below:

For a content expansion: 3/10For a feature expansion: 6/10

As solo I struggle with the content and I have been in guilds and no thank you. I am well geared and spec'd. Your content forever has been for groups. I was hoping for something for the little guy. I'd say I quit, but that does not bother you, no more gems. That blow your pay to win mind?

I am very disappointed in the new content after the mounts there is only the same old grind maybe its wrong of me but i was hoping at least the armor and weapons would improve there is no advancement that i see. I feel like i have been dumped in a loop doing the same stuff just new stuff to look at. The new specializations dont seam to work as well as the old ones and i dont see many ppl using the weapons for them so to me that means it was a bad move to start with. I have played GW2 from the start and over all the POF is the worst part by far. I hope that in the future a-net makes some kind of advancement for lvl , weapon or armor strength. and stop try to make players grind and grind to get something special that has no plus but the way it looks!!!!!!!!!!!!
