Andovar Edoras.2143

Ya'll still hoping for Tengu.. its so not gonna happen lol

Do consider that budgets and workforce are limited. Anet isnt going to work on redundant things at this point. I wouldnt recommend expecting unrealistic and unfitting things like new playable races or personal ports.Imagine a Tengu commander doing the first 3 stories...How unfitting and weird that would be?... a Tengu leading the Pact consisting of the 5 actual main races. More likely:-New elite specs, canthan inspired-New mount, most likely underwater.-Underwater combat 2.0, due to Bubbles? This could be the new "it" thing for this expansion-New fractals/raids (obviously.)-Possible updates to WvW Uncertain but possible:-Faction system-Guild vs guild pvp

I hope Revenants get a new elite spec featuring a Legendary Asura, such as Snaff or Zinn. We already have Shiro who is Canthan, and we have important figures from other races such as Kalla (Charr) and Ventari (Sylvari). Having a Legendary Asura stance would open up possibilities of using magitech-inspired skills on revenant. Meanwhile a norn legend (e.g. Jora) would sound too similar to the Dwarf one i think.

I...am...EXCITED! Will Bubbles/Steve the water elder dragon be revealed at last, however?

Being able to hover over a shared Tray of Food, and see what stats it gives, before you eat it and overwrite your own better food.

One of the main blunders of legendary armor was it being locked behind raids, which is already Very polarizing content on its own, with only a minority participating in it.Adding a fractal legendary armor set would be amazing, as fractals are much more popular overall, and im sure people can handle it being timegated. A combination of Fractals and PoF collections, id recommend. (legendary raid armor already involves HoT collections)

Kralkatite Ore is the easiest to get out of all the LS4 currencies...

Back when I was a new player, I remember how leveling up a character from 1 to 80 was enjoyable and really got me hooked to the game.Offering instant-80 to new players is Really bad, and is unlikely to make them stick.It's like playing Minecraft Survival the normal way, or just immediately having Creative mode, making everything obsolete and boring.

Meanwhile im heartbroken that the mirage dodge-stunbreak was removed, even if from a pve point of view.

Honestly the main issue with Anet when it comes to GW2 is the monetization... One cheap expansion that includes all past expansions/core isnt gonna pay the bills..And Living World comes free if you simply log in.. Only the Gemstore makes money, but even that is for convenience or cosmetics

What you need is1) Story mode for raids, to pull in casuals. (for less rewards). I would love to know all that White Mantle lore, but cant because i dont raid.2) Remove elitism ("kill proofs)

The game should definitely teach new players about the importance of the CC defiance bar.

I'm sorry, nothing which you mention here is in any way special, or shows an extended knowledge of your class. Literally everything you mentioned is basic knowledge for intermediate renegades. I mentioned this already, install arc and keep an eye on where your performance actually is (not only damage but also alacrity and might uptime). If you are performing that well, this should be a non issue for you. Also as mentioned, most regular T4 groups are rather lax in their requirements. Don't lump those groups together with the CM groups. Most T4 groups don't even bother with getting a renegade for alacrity and only care about a basic healer. Exactly, theres nothing special to it because that has always been sufficient. Adaptability imo is the whole idea behind the revenant. Just like other classes have their own self-sufficient playstyles. I can keep myself alive, others alive, and deal plenty of damage.I will not be downloading any meters, since i really dont care about the detailed numbers and am not looking to optimize myself into some sort of a machine. As long as the team survives and enemy dies, it is a-okay for me. And overall to this topic: Personally i take it chill and cba with that hardcore perfection nonsense (staying away from those lfg groups), but it makes me sad to see Others feel so pressured to present themselves as ideal teammates.. It's a fractal, not a career job interview...

To add, I kept Myself alive, and didnt have someone do that for me. Noticed some here mentioning that maybe i just didnt notice being supported. In that sense i pay attention who is doing what. I play renegade and actively change legends, a lot of the time focusing on survivability for myself and team. Dwarf for quick cc chain, 50% damage reduction ult, stability if needed and ofc the cleanse heal. Charr legend for that excellent lifesteal ult and aoe heal with condi damage reduction (This legend pair helps team survivability a lot imo; More survivability = more time being alive to fight). Demon if its one of those "more condis/outgoing resistance" instabilities. Ventari if its a heavy-projectile situation (rip molten facility rework..), particularly love using this for uncategorized/chaos vs knockbacks, or the laser stairs puzzle. Assassin legend for swamp or solid ocean running (dont like using this one in combat). Oh And ofc sharing might and alacrity with the renegade spells. Such versatility is what makes revenant fun for me and fractals completely doable. And yes, i do my own LFGs almost always anyway. Its just weird to see someone join my party and take it so seriously, or being anxious about it (Hi im dps is that okay :(". And im Definitely not gonna start kicking someone just because theyre not 100% perfect.

So finally got my Personal Fractal level to 75 and can now use the T4 lfg..But i'm confused as to the sudden obsession with builds and metas and kill points etc that im seeing.(I have no intention on doing CM, so lets not discuss those so called "kill points" at all, "you do you boo" when it comes to that.). Have been doing T3 for months, and you could clear anything with any pug teambuild there. So i went and did T4 Molten Boss daily.I see people joining my team and immediately declaring if theyre dps or heal etc, while going into detail about their builds and how they play..And in my head im just like "guys...It's just Molten Boss...".You literally mop up some groups of mobs and fight those 2 guys at the end who are total pushovers... Why so serious... Followed this frac up with Mai Trin a bit later, with a different team. Joined a team who was worried about their dps and heals, yet again... So I walked in there, tried once, won. Piece of cake, nothing special compared to earlier tiers except a few more mobs... (2 teammates died during 25% health phase, yet still i had time to revive both by just dodging bombs..so cant Possibly be that hard) Aaanyway...Moving from T3, why is T4 suddenly so...robotic and tense? Where does the sudden obsession about efficiency come from, when the content itself isnt scaled up that much, particularly considering the "we NEED class x with build y for this" type arguments? Almost tempted to just go back to T3 where its so chill. The T4 daily chests probably dont have anything more valuable in them anyway.
