Solanum.6983

The Release page says the next faction will "Float your way on February 16th" so I assume that's the Exalted since the Dwarves and Exalted where shown fighting in the first half of the trailer.The Skirt and Tengu where shown as part of the "what the Future holds" section which Is most likely for Chapter 3 in March.

I think they were good in the Story instances even if a little repetitive. What I don't like is taking those story instances and trying to turn them into repeatable content. They boil down to being a Heart Vendor to Escort to Uninteresting HP sponge boss fight that take way too long and give little to no rewards.

So Looks to me like another slice of Story, 4 New DRM's, New Factions with some new Weapon skin Rewards, /Stretch emote and Stoneskin Infusion. More than the first chapter which is nice but I'm a little worried since each chapter is heavily focused on the missions. I hope they took the concerns about the first chapter seriously and have added some much needed changes to the missions.

Yes please! Especially Medium armor, I'm tired of walking around like a coatrack.More stuff along the lines of the Light Armor Tribal Vestments would be perfect or even just some more form fitting armors and outfits, we've got more than enough variations of bulky coats and skirts.

I get the frustration but that's what makes Thief a Thief.If you take away keep/tower portal and reduce stealth time/mobility then you end up with a squishy class that can barely help in group fights and has it's roaming potential gutted. It'd need some serious buffs to compensate.

As someone who loves Griffon I think this is a great Idea. I don't think it would brake the game in anyway.Griffon can already maintain altitude if you pull up and dive often, a few updrafts wouldn't make a difference but It'd be a great QOL for the mount.

Biggest Wish I have is a New Ocean themed Map where camps/towers/keeps are on Islands in a vast ocean with Siege Turtles and Boats, Think Sea of Thieves but for WvW.But at this point I'll settle for regular Balance Updates.

I don't think they should change any exisiting dyes. People bought them for how they look in game now. I do think they could release a reverse permafrost dye though that is all black.

Have to agree, I'm not sure why they lock skins away like this, It just doesn't make sense to me.Infusions I understand being rare but unless a skin is legendary level then I say Tie skins to interactive achievements, put them as rewards in the story or up the drop rate, Making things so scarce with grinds or low drop rates just takes away something that could have been a fun experience for players to unlock.

Some consumables that grant mastery EXP or can be sold for 50 silver.

They need better rewards in general but I think the problem with buffing Skirmish tracks is that you'll get even more people afk farming pips, It's already bad enough since that's the only way to get Tickets.They need to offer track progress from actual gameplay rather than just rewarding anyone in the game, Defending/Capping Higher tiers bringing better rewards.

It depends on the material you're trying to dye but for what I'm wearing the closest I could get was with the Pewter Dye.

I started my very first legendary when the Armory was announced.My Goal for 2021 is to continue what I've been doing since and fill up as much of the soon to be armory as I can.

I'd say it'll happen eventually they seem to like making wing sets which I do enjoy too :)

I don't see Pistol or Rifle as Ranger weapons.I'd personally like to see Scepter with some ties to Spirits of the Wild.

There's so many things that when combined make this the only MMO I actually get lost in. The Community: This is the top of my list, The GW2 community is the best I've experienced in any other game. People are friendly and quick to help and will even go out of their way to do so.The Combat: The action combat system is amazing and Having so many different skills, professions, weapons, specs to play around with that can completely change your fighting style is very exciting.The Environments: The Art team knock it out of the park almost every time with Maps, It's a lot of fun to explore and just take in how beautiful the game is.Mounts: The mount system is another positive, you can't just fly up high and skip over content or make other mounts useless, each has their own niche and Mounts like griffon and roller Beatle are so much fun to master.Gear: It's relatively easy to gear up a character to max stats and there's no endless grind.Living world being free: I almost overlooked this but the fact that by simply playing within the 2/3 months between releases you get the current episode unlocked for free os great!The Cost: The expansions are so damn cheap for the sheer amount of content you get. going on from the previous point too, you really don't have to spend much to get years and years worth of previous content.

I don't mind Rytlock but that's about as much Char as I can handle. I cant stand their dialog and the whole steel aesthetic isn't my favorite so this saga being heavily char focused hasn't been all that exciting to me.

They generally never update released items, I'd rather they make a Aura tab in the wardrobe where you can account bind all the cosmetic Auras ( https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Cosmetic_aura )

For traversing Maps and getting to Mastery points, Skyscale is probably more what you're looking for but griffon and springer together can get you to most places a skyscale can If the grind for skyscale is off putting to you.If you get to a high place a Griffon can stay in the air for as long as you need if you know how to fly it. Staying in the air with the Griffon boils down to Diving to gain momentum and Pulling back up to regain your original altitude, Once you get the hang of it it's pretty easy.

I wish I could vote for all of the above but ultimately for me I chose the maps, Simply because the older maps are small and predictable, It's just the same thing over and over. At least Red boarder there's a lot of verticality to play with and open space for large fights. The Maps could be so much better than they are, I'm sure it'd need some balancing but why not add in some Underground tunnels, Underwater areas, Gliding Updrafts, Tactic Leylines, Medizookas ect... All that said though, another huge factor is gameplay, With how little balance changes there is the Meta stays the same and problematic things don't get looked at for months at a time, the same goes for underused/weak skills that could offer more variety.

With the expansion coming I have big hopes for 2021, Expansions and what we know is coming with it aside I'm excited to see the Legendary Armory release. Being able to play Alts and try out new builds on a whim without having to do a bank swap every time is going to be great.

Same here, I hadn't had an issue in months but since the Wintersday patch I've had lag spikes and crashes regularly.

I enjoy the game mode but yeah I get the frustration, often there's not enough people playing to fill all maps so depending on the map your on it can seem pretty dead.Hopping between locations wouldn't be exactly fair since it'd benefit big groups even more. I'd suggest trying to get Warclaw, It makes traversing the maps a lot better.As for camps, they're out in the open so they are made to flip often It's towers and keeps you need to worry about unless the camp is tiered up and the towers/keep nearby need supply. There's potential in the game mode to be amazing but I agree with most of what you said as being some of the problems that sadly don't/wont get addressed.

I wish they would make a New Tab just for all the Cosmetic Auras.https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Cosmetic_aura Doing so would account bind infusions/enrichments/gear with Cosmetic Auras and remove the effect from the original item. This would also help with people who don't want the legendary trinket effects.

Yeah I think it is, Just had my 3rd crash now. Hopefully it gets resolved soon.
