Have you been playing for a long time in other parts of the game after the release? I ask because I noticed the new loading screen is brutal on my motion sickness, and 40mins is about my limit now, too, when it never was before. It took a while for me to figure that out, though, because I was working exclusively in EoD and WvW (and I'm always prone to motion sickness in WvW if there's lots of mobs or structure battles going on), and I, too, thought at first it was something specific to the expansion content.

OK, that's good to know. I also could get experience with the alt that couldn't start it when someone else did, and I was starting it last night for a couple of people who couldn't get it to work. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't just me being stupid and missing something obvious. Thanks!

Nice thing is, there's a really cute and fun achievement that rewards unusual coins, so this was the most fun farming I think I've ever had in this game so far.

Forgive me if this came up elsewhere, I did a search, but didn't see anything. Is there a special requirement to start the hero point challenge in Arborstone? I can do it on some alts, and the character working through the story, but I had an alt that couldn't start it; all the alts I tried it with were level 80. Wiki doesn't have it up yet; am I missing something or is it just a minor bug? Thanks!

+1. If they don't want people fishing from thrones, they could always add a specific "fishing stool" utilizing the same stool, perhaps just reskinned, that they already released. Perhaps you could buy the fishing stool from the same merchant where you can get the hat and vest.

I don't have the DX11 enabled.

I'm getting this as well; today it affected my raptor, which was very odd. It appears to show the skin properly, but the dyes only show up correctly at the mount/dismount animation. Never got it before, so I'm hoping it's at least an intermittent bug. Edit: Was this reported in bugs, or should I also start a thread in the correct part of the forum for it?

They did address the issue: Upcoming Changes to "The Battle For The Jade Sea" - Guild Wars 2 Discussion - Guild Wars 2 Forums, with what they're going to change and the timeline for testing those changes, along with some reasoning for what they're doing.

I suspect the answer is no, since the item is account bound on require.

I really thought the way they did this was brilliant, and I really appreciate that they made you use what you learned in just about every single mission and story step... and refrained from adding other quirky mechanics that you use exactly three times in a chapter and then never use anywhere else in the game again, as in the living worlds. The closest they got was forcing you to use the jade bot, and as a mastery, that's fine. (And I'm grateful I only had to do it twice; just enough to learn how to use it.) There's a really good argument to be made that new players who used a boost should start with this expansion and play straight through it; it's unfortunate that the story would then be out of order.

Yes, I have done those things, and really appreciate the reminder to check as sometimes, for whatever reason, they get reset after updates. The big problem with the log-in screen is the "pull" towards wherever your mouse moves. Hopefully, they'll add a setting that will change that as well eventually.

I don't know how widespread this is either, but I do have this problem. From my perspective, EoD itself isn't significantly worse than the other expansions for the most part, and the things that bother me elsewhere do continue to bother me here. BUT, the parts that are worse are MUCH worse. Some things can be avoided; I simply walked away from the computer during a certain tour on a moving platform. But the log-in screen is brutal - moving the camera as you move your mouse is the worst, nastiest, and most horrible thing anyone could do to someone with motion sickness - and having to take control of the Jade bot is equally vicious. Weight of the World, in particular, flattened me. More than 24 hours later, after failing the mission, I'm still coping with the aftereffects. I try to understand that devs, developers, artists and programmers may not have the same problem I do, and take the things that bother me in stride. But logging in IS a significant problem now, and I can't simply skip or avoid it like I can parts of the story or using the jade bot. It significantly lowers the amount of time I can play and what I can do. Whoever created that screen, I want you to know: I hate your guts.

If you follow the links under Contents, it tells you exactly how much of each material you get daily (or, where it's random, the range: 1-13 for T1 mats, 1-4 T2, etc. from the Hunter's contract, for instance).

There's a link in the fishing tab to the gem store. Made me laugh; they're not really disguising their intentions there, are they? On the other hand, I would not at all be surprised if account-wide bait and lures come out soon. I'll grumble at having to pay for QoL that I really feel should already be in the game... but I'll honestly admit, I'll probably buy them anyway.
