Seeing as I haven't pre-ordered, and will certainly be waiting to see how it all pans out before I even consider purchasing SotO, well ... I guess nothing as yet

Man. no doubt! A move I made some time ago.

$25 is nothing if the entire thing dropped at once upon initial release. $25 for Anet "promises" for features that may - or may not - actually come to fruition on a haphazard schedule that has obviously not been hammered out as yet? It's not an unreasonable ask, it's just B.S.

So I just left my first confused emoji. Because I'm certain I have no idea what point you're trying to make here

I'm likely way off, but I'm remembering a charr and chili being part of something in Diessa Plateau. Or perhaps I'm confusing something that has to do with Meatoberfest.

As less than stellar writing and pacing can be found in various spots throughout all the game's story, I'm just going with the bugged mission that plagued me the longest and all but drove me mad (not that that'd take much at times). A Kindness Repaid. It sounds so pleasant, like a break from the usual life and death struggle. Of course, that brief illusion disappears quickly. But that's ok, I like combat. And then ... the first bug hits. Several hours and many restarts later I get passed the bug, and soldier onward. In less than a couple of minutes bug #2 rears its head. /Sigh. It will take almost a week to dodge this bug. Bugs 3 through 6 will play out in turn, and in total it will take almost 3 weeks to complete a 10-minute story mission. I really loved LWS4, but A Kindness Repaid almost ruined it for me.

Earlier in this thread I commented that from the blog post description, it seemed that Anet was heavily borrowing from a feature of Trion's Rift MMO. After watching the rift trailer released on Twitter/X, I take it all back. What Anet is serving up doesn't even qualify as a pale reflection of Trion's effort. The non-hype is oh so very real for me.

Yeah, I can only imagine. But I quit giving Blizz money not long after the release of BfA, and haven't played -or paid attention to - anything from them since.

In game, I still believe GW2 to have one of the best communities of any MMO I've played. On the forums, however ... Yeah, not so much. To my thinking, one of the worst forum communities.

This is along the same lines I was thinking as I read the blog post. Or were as close to outright copying that formula as possible without being accused of plagiarism. I'll admit to being a bit gobsmacked over how blatant this seems, at least with what they are revealing so far.

Really need that "Who the hell knows?" option. Other than the very few examples Anet has shown, the only thing we know for sure is that 60% - nearly 2/3 of available effects - are going bye-bye. Perhaps your Golemancer 6-piece bonus will remain in the game, but it is one very safe bet that bonuses important to other players, for whatever reason. are going to disappear.

My hatred of the over saturation of "visual effects" in this game must have caused temporary blindness, and I missed this in whatever notes they were included. Another reason to be less than happy with the new relics

Speaking for myself, there isn't really anything I like about Zoija. As for Ms. Day, voicing a character I don't like in GW2 is all I know of her; not that that is any fault of hers. I just know Zoija hasn't created any interest to check out her other work.

So much this ... I'd be more than surprised should such info come out any sooner than a week before SotO launch. If not simply at launch so they can avoid the all but assured uproar pre-launch.

Thanks Jhule. I'm outside the UK, but it seems from my brief visit to their site that they may have recommendations for other regions. I'll certainly open a line with them. Again, thanks
