Sadly, I'm Doubtful we'll be getting a decent balance patch anytime soon.On stream someone from the Balance Team said the teams working on Especs for the expansion. If I had to guess there's very few if any working on current balance.

To me It feels like we actually got 4 instances within the story and the Devs just decided to make 3 of them repeatable with a new name to fill out content even though gameplay wise they are time consuming and boring to play. I doubt even the most casual Players are rejoicing in this content

I Enjoyed it as a Story Chapter even if it was pretty short and the whole suddenly trusting Jormag was a little questionable. The dialog was great. It was a nice way to acknowledge primordus beginning to wake up.It was nice to play once during the story but honestly I think that's where those instances should've stayed.

Griffon by far

I had fun but I'm not going to lie, I was disappointed.I know there's more to come in the coming weeks but If it's focused on the response missions then I've kind of lost interest. The Missions themselves I don't see myself doing again, They're fun to do once for the story but that's just it, they're a repeatable story instance that to me are quite boring to replay and are not rewarding. My hope is this is all just a kind of prologue building up primordus in the Chapter for a much bigger finale.

I think that's it for now.The first half of the trailer is everything we got today and the second half is going to be released between now and the next chapter in January.

The reason people didn't like it was because it was a huge benefit to blobs, This change makes it a defensive tool so helps out more against blobs than anything.

Yes!!! Fantastic news

You can earn gold in many different ways, The Most profitable is probably is to farm/repeat Meta events like Drizzlewood, Silverwastes or DragonFall. There's a lot of different guides on youtube that could help you find which way you enjoy the most. For Tomes of Knowledge, PVP and WVW are great ways to farm them.

I wish they'd hire a community manager, Other games have teams of people dedicated to this but even just one person to answer FAQs on here, reddit or social media would be a huge help. Set up a staff discord channel for the community manager to relay questions and answers. I'm not asking for total transparency on their workflow but for example a simple yes/no if the Legendary armory is planned before End of dragons or if there's going to be a balance patch before the end of the year would be a big step in right direction.

That does sound a pretty strong in big groups. Hopefully we get a balance patch soon, It's been way too long.

Personally the perfect map for me is Aesthetically pleasing and has Fun Events/Metas that are rewarding to play or farm.I much rather small events leading up to a quicker meta than for example drizzlewood where it's nonstop and very draining to even do once.

I'm just theory crafting here but I just can't see them dealing with Primordus that quickly, There's no reason he can't be part of the expansion too.What if we team up with jormag and primordus kills them, then that leads us to seek help from the deep sea dragon in the cantha expansion. The "They need me" line in the Cantha trailer could be the deep sea dragon offering help to deal with Primordus?

In the skin department - A lot.Skimmer can now dive.Balance wise there was a big balance patch a while back but nothing major since.Legendary armory was announced in march but no major updates on that either.New Sunqua Peek Fractal. Most content has come from the Ice brood Saga with new story, maps, metas, skins, masteries, strike missions ect...

Yes I felt one in Lions Arch two days ago, Primordus is waking =)

Could we please get some kind of update on this? T . T

I don't think it's possible to lock stuff like that behind an expansion, I don't see how you could have people playing two different versions of the same game mode? Balance changes should be stuff they do on a regular bases, Sadly Anet just doesn't think it's worth their time. I'm not going to pay extra just to get access to something they should already be doing.

I doubt it, Waypoints are a staple and a good feature to have if you've got a lot going on on larger maps.We don't know how we're going to arrive to Cantha just yet or what it's like their currently, They've been in contact with the Zephyrites according to the wiki so maybe they could have given them waypoints?

The games very much alive with regular content updates and a third big expansion planned for 2021.When it comes to other game modes like PvP and especially WvW those game modes can sometimes give the impression that they are "dead" content, This falls mostly on the devs paying them very little attention leading to stale gameplay rather than a lack of interest.

Largos is probably the easiest. The only problem is their wings but so little is actually known about them that the devs could retcon the wings to being Armor. They could share everything with Humans from outfits and armors to animations and as for the voice lines all you'd need to do is just add a distorted filter to the existing voice lines for their masks. They're also around somewhat in the core areas so It might be easier to fit them into the personal story. The only other race I could think of is Dwarves, Maybe they could use everything for Norn but scale it down. If they remain stone you could still use all the Models, armors and outfits but you would have to redo all the textures.

I mean by that logic we should get rid of mounts as well.Why add an overall inconvenience of less waypoints for the off chance that players interact on their journeys along the way, I doubt they even would. People mostly interact in groups during events or at specific locations, Waypoints make it easier to get to these congregation points.

Yes and NoAt the beginning I was mostly Involved in Open world PvE so I was happy but then I got more into WvW and that Game mode barely even gets balance patches anymore.

It'd be very disappointing but considering the cost of the expansions, PoF without the maps is worth it just for the mounts alone In my opinion.That said, I think Maps are a core feature of expansions, I doubt many people would stick to the same Maps, Meta and Events for long. There's only so much you could do before people get bored of the same scenery.

I run into the same problem with Griffon all the time, It can be pretty annoying trying to fly griffon trough those starter areas only to faceplant an invisible wall and loose all momentum.I feel like the core Maps could use an Update, Not only for mount purposes but also visually to show what the game has to offer to new players. There's plenty of assets available from the past few years.

There's a post about this on the Reddit, Apparently there's some drama going on between the rich players :#
