    You have that first concept art.

    Edit: my bad, it was the Pale Tree who was first seen by the community in a convention, printed on a card.

    And the first trailer:

     

    That was a way better Lions Arch and Rata Sum.

    The initial concept art had them looking like green elves. There was some community pushback. They released a blog post specifically about redesigning the Sylvari to look more like plant creatures.

    Big mistake in my opinion as was wiping out the Dwarves..

    Anise is at the very bottom of my list of characters I want to interact with.

    Edit: Probably should have quoted the post I was replying to that included Anise as part of the Commander’s new team.

    Don't see her often these days, i liked her she suited the spymaster traits she was meant to be.

    Hey at leas our character can now make their own decision and come up plan to solve problem by themself..................................................................................

     

     

    We're gonna get ordered around by Zojja and Wizards, aren't we?

    Most likely they like to make the side characters the mains and us a glorified gofer.. Its a bit maddening by now..

    I think maybe there won't be a team.  In the blog Indigo writes

    "By isolating the commander from their support group—and thus, their typical problem-solving catalysts—we’re able to completely immerse the player character in this darker, more mystical facet of Tyria as the Astral Ward battles against the threat of the Kryptis."

    Which to me suggests there won't be a lot of support.  The Commander is supposed to be more on their own in this story, it would be odd to just give them a third set of an all-races masterful team.

    I agree from the synopsis its just the commander and Zojja at least early on, i assume we will meet new people as the story progresses..

    On the one hand, yes.
    On the other hand, the "problem" with the existing characters aren't the characters, it's the writers. Just because we will be meeting new characters, doesn't mean that they won't go "Holy friggin shoot comm, that was awesomesauce frfr no cap my homie." This is still the team that brought us hamfisted lines like "Beat up the bigot" or "Hi, I'm Yao, your non-binary jade engineer." (Disc.: I don't mind Yao being non-binary or beating up bigots, I just mind the sloppy hamfisted way these things are written and executed in game.)

    I totally agree myself.

    I remember GW1 hinted at Sylvari being elves.. real elves and then we got tree people and i lost interest pretty much ever since.. That and charr in GW1 were way better as enemies, than what we got these days.. Fluffy doggo demons aren't for me sadly..

    I am glad Asura got hair though so that was a plus.

    For Twitter it's Elon musk being a man child again and rebranding one of the most known brands in the world to the letter X. 

    And Twitter.com will become X.com. 

    Imagine renaming McDonald's to X-Burger. That's the rough equivalent. 

     

    So its been turned into a turn based Space game now, actually now i'm interested..

     

     

    To be honest X-burger sounds pretty cool.

    I actually don't like the ninja one. That's supposed to be used by Engineer and Ranger as well, and it doesn't fit either of them in the slightest. It works exclusively for thief, but even then it's a questionable design. The Heavy looks good and is actually class neutral, the light looks kinda horrible but is also class-neutral. Frankly it looks like it's designed exclusively for Joffrey cosplayers....

    The medium one only works if you want to play a sinister looking ninja, as a thief.

    I generally mix and match my gears anyway.

    Let us put things this way. 

     

    It is time for the Guardians to embrace the power of a Space Marine for their Faith is their Shield and they will purge the Heretics!

    The new creatures definitely look like Heretic Xenos.. Nurgle is that you?

    I heard that same news from an EB staffer five years ago though, and they're still here.

    He said it came from head staff of EB games. 😔

    Have you actually been to EB Games to check. I know all mine are gone where i live. Three different EB Games all gone.

  10. I used to main Ranger many moons ago in PvE but after the plethora of nerfs because of botters and after it just dragged as a class, it was useless in any grouped content and became a bit of a meme class, as time went on i left it behind some what, mostly Thief, Mesmer or Necro these days. I did see its been up and down over the years and i did play the Trapper build with Soulbeast in PoF days but after they destroyed spirits for me, i dropped Ranger again pretty much.

    These days i mostly Run EoD specs mostly Specter but after a lot of nerfs i've switched to Necro Harbringer mostly and occasional Virtuoso. Only in PVE.

    Another thing that bothered me about Ranger was the gimmick pets, like a ball and chain dragging along behind me. I miss Guildwars 1 Ranger that could completely remove the pets.
