We don't know what the combat/weapons drawn effect looks like yet. I am praying it has one.

I literally don't use the dragon eye infusion because it looks ugly and so out of place with just one glowing eye. I don't see the point of giving players half an infusion and the other half is gated by extremely rare drop chance. I have enough gold to buy the eyes on TP, but it definitely doesn't seem worth it based on how mundane a tiny glowing spec is on your character's body. Perhaps they should have done something similar to the Deldrimor skin infusion or increase the Pristine Dragon Eye drop, but make it accountbound on acquire. I feel the reason why they made it a really rare expensive drop is so that people will have an incentive to log in everyday to play that specific release. Maybe it can be seen as an excuse or the illusion that the Finale is "content". Either way, I won't be using it with one eye, and I am fine with that. I will just get other skins and save for the new legendary weapons.

same lol, but I would rather prioritize my gold into the new legendary weapons or many other skins rather then one small, insignificant glowing eye.

I just do not see the point in that. Why would they give us an "uncomplete" infusion (one eye infusion) if the other is just an abysmally rare drop that is worth 3-10k gold? On top of this, it may not even be the correct side that drops, as it can either be left or right.

I was really hoping for the last two Norn Shaman armor sets (leopard and wolf). I was also wanting to learn more about the norn, spirits and the kodan. Too bad they didn't just make one final episode instead of champions, and released it after a few months that included all these things, focused only on Jormag and included another beautiful map with another strike mission. Right now, the dwarves didn't at all feel like they had a great resolution. They should have been the ones predominantly at the battle against Primordus in this mission. This would have been a major conclusion to the main plot of GW1, EotN Would be cool if we had a Living Story season after EoD with just the Depths, Primordus, Asura, Dwarves, Skritt and Dredge, as well as exploring the lost ancient asuran cities or discovering splinter groups of Asura that may have survived. Bu that won't be happening. I also would have loved to figure out who built the EotN and the history behind why it's there.

@Dark Red Killian.3946I know I already said this, that the Pristine Dragon Eye is the item that drops and that it is used in crafting the infusion.

Maybe these points that I am about to bring up are completely unrealistic, but I would have much preferred if they took the extra time between the Drizzlewood release and now to produce one final episode, instead of the Champion's releases. -one more new map, alpine, more forests. -give us the last 2 last norn shaman armor sets (snow leopard and wolf) -MAYBE even one strike mission -don't kill 2 Elder Dragons -find out who made the Eye of the North. -focus less on the charr and more on Jormag -give way more emphasis on the norn, kodan and spirits and their origins -leave Primordus for another set of DLCs that feature the depths, asura and dwarves (this time actually have the dwarves involved with fighting Primordus himself and resolve what they their story, since it has been up and open from EotN to Steel and Fire release) -maybe give some type of teaser trailer at the end of the story mission, similar to what happened at the end of LS1, LS2, HoT, LS3, PoF and LS4 (I know this didn't show much for IBS). Maybe just even a small hint or gesture to what will happen next would have been awesome

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone had the Pristine Dragon Eye material drop from the Dragonstorm meta? Does anyone know the drop rate and does it drop from the kittenily (bounce chest) or per character (boss chest)? I really would like to finish the infusion, since having it on one eye just seems a bit weird to me.

I don't remember them mentioning another legendary trinket for IBS. It would have been nice if they continued with the theme of the PvE legendary trinkets. WvW and PvP ones look weird imo.

Seems again like there will not be a Wolf shaman and Leopard shaman armor sets :anguished:Maybe we may get surprised, I am crossing my fingers and my toes.

Maybe something like the dog snapchat filter or the E-thot eyes crossed, tongue out face.

@hash.8462 Wouldn’t that just be the equivalent of playing croquet with PvE mobs when you can just kill them? I can definitely see it being brought as an extra cc utility for certain bosses in in PvE, but for all the other mobs? I feel you would lose health or get killed before you finished laying down all your hammer skills, or that some of them would miss. I don’t have a problem necessarily with hammer not being a DPS weapon, but it could definitely use improvements to speed, type of skill casts and etc.Maybe some type of special trait that synergies with the protection output, or something that makes it feel more useful in a fun and innovative way would be cool.

@Shane.4023 I would personally level a few characters to 80 without a level boost, so you can get a really good feel of different classes and learn their skills really well.On top of this to will partially gain mapCompletion which will help when you want to craft a gen 1 legendary.I would only use a boost after you have a one or more traditionally maxed characters. If you use the boost, you will miss a large chunk of the game such as JPs, many of the different beautiful environments, as well as the lore from the side quests and etc.You will just have a much better understanding of the game in general.

@radda.8920 That is the main plot line of the EotN expansion, which was just a bridge to GW2, which was supposed to mainly focus on dragons.Not all of GW2s content is surrounded by dragons.The dragon issue will be done with at some point and maybe we will get new story based on something else?It would be cool for them to make Utopia cannon and the story centre around that. To you EotN is very bland but it is one of my most memorable and favourite places to go.The environments are quite beautiful and diverse with lots of lore and side quests based around many of the different races. Factions as well is very great in its own and similar ways.I think part of what made it so good is that it’s based in a unique setting and environment that hasn’t really been done before in a fantasy based game, with blends East Asia, Central Asia, South-East Asia and etc.On top of that, Jeremy Soule really has the compositional skill of being able to write music that greatly reflects the land and culture he is writing the music on.

That would be cool if they brought it back.I personally prefer Jeremy Soule’s compositions compared to all the music written from LS season 2 till now. What I do is just have a YouTube playlist of a mixture of GW1 songs, from different expacs.This way I can switch to what ever music I want depending on my vibe or the environment I am playing in.

I collect keys as I do map completion on my characters.This way I can use the gifts of exploration to make legendaries that I sell as well as get some black lion keys as a side result.

I've always wondered who or what built this impressive, magical structure.Perhaps it was the Seers?Maybe it will just remain a mystery, which isn't a bad thing. Maybe we will find out by the end of Icebrood Saga?

If they were to add a playable race, tengu would be the most likely one they would add. I personally would want to play tengu since they are so unique. Bird humanoids with elf ears.They look even better with their updated models, textures and animations from HoT I remember first encountering them way back in GW1 when I first entered Kryta.

That depends on whether they do have a female variant or not, since we don't accurately know yet. This sentence was based off of what Ogden mentioned in the first game, From Ogden's supposed facetious quote, he could be implying that there are,1) female dwarves and we just haven't noticed them because they look like males2) female dwarves but we haven't seen or met them yet, similar to how we didn't see female charr in GW13) no female dwarves and he is just pulling our legs. Here are some other quotes from dwarven dialogue (though due note what NPCs say is anecdotal, we would need to see evidence of female dwarves in real time to be able to determine if they actually do exist and what they would look like if they are extant),

They have made full episodes. I believe they already stated way before (I can't remember the source, maybe someone can provide it?) that not all releases of Icebrood Saga will feature maps and that some of the later episodes would be similar to LS season 1.DRMs are pretty much the same as the story content form LS season 1 but packaged in instances since they don't want to get backlash from people missing out on replayablility as well as having the current map and environments change drastically. I think where they went wrong is by promoting this product as "expansion like". @"Ashantara.8731" If they were to hold true to their original sentiment, I would hope that they add a new guild hall that is alpine themed with snow falling, darkish sky and polar lights (Aurora Polaris).It has been my dream to have a guild hall like that, kind of similar to the what the GW1 EotN login screen looks like. Maybe the guild hall could be in Gunnar's Hold and you have to retake it from the Icebrood? Here are some pictures of in-game shots of Gunnar's Hold/Nornhart Domains,https://imgur.com/a/DmqAotT and some more pics of Icecliff Chasms,https://imgur.com/a/DgMsz2j Edit: Gunnar’s Hold in GW1 has an arena which would be perfect since the other guild halls in GW2 have arenas for PvP as well.

You're right, I overlooked the title not being congruent with the poll options.If you were to pick one of the options, which would you choose?

Yeah, I am still having a hard time believing that all of Tyria's dwarven population got transformed.Why? According to the lore, they were all, regardless of faction, connected to The Great Dwarf, and it was this connection that was the basis for the transformation ritual. Basically, due to this, no dwarf was able to avoid being subject to the ritual - If they didn't like it, still the best they could hope for was to delay the effect for a while.So, all of them eventually succumbing to the ritual is not exactly surprising or doubtful. Even so, magic exists in the world. Maybe some sort of quest to find something that would revert the dwarves from stone? Just a thought. they specifically said deldrimor dwarfs, what if there are other families that renounced the great dwarf and are living somewhere out of reach for now.a possible expansion, a legit way to add dwarfs. I don’t think you can renounce the rite.All the dwarves, including the stone summit turned to stone. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Stone_Summit Check under the History tab and search for the 2 headings, “Legacy” and “The Icebrood Saga”.Read both and it will explain that they all turned to stone, but there does seem to be ancient spells that could potentially reverse the effects?These stone summit tried to reverse the rite but were driven mad and corrupted by Primordus as a result of using Destroyer energy/magic to channel into their rituals. https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Tome_of_the_Rubicon This is another link to show that it seems to be a race wide transformation. which is all written AFTER GW2 was released, the only reason why is because Anet wanted to get rid of dwarfs altogether.And your point is?This information was from GW1 wiki lol... so it was written way before GW2. Notice, how it affected not only Deldrimor dwarves, that were willing and enacted the ritual, but the Stone Summit dwarves as well - that were definitely not willing, and have already turned to worshipping other entities (like The Great Destroyer, and later Primordius). It didn't help them, and they were still pulled along against their will. Apart from those that let themselves be corrupted (which turned them from being dwarves into dragon minions). the stone summits are deldrimor dwarfs.......No, the Stone Summit are a completely different faction of dwarves and. They used to be Deldrimor dwarves but broke away.https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Dagnar_StonepateThis is King Jalis's (Leader of the Deldrimor) cousin. a quote from this GW1 wiki page,https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Stone_Summit Edit: changed font in quote

I agree with Konig. The only way I can see dwarves having the rite removed is by them destroying Primordus. That way the Great Dwarf would allow them to change whether involuntarily or voluntarily based on the dwarves fulfilling their prophecy.Then again, that is all just speculation.

This is a poll to just get a general idea of what other people in the community feel about hammer as a weapon on Guardian.Please provide feedback such as examples to support your position if you can.I made a discussion about this topic, but I feel a poll would be better for clarification on this subject, so I can physically see how others react to this weapon as well as give an explanation why.

I don't mind an update that doesn't bring a a new map, just like the Visions of the Past update: Steel and FireThat release brought out many new skins, lore, achievements, strike mission and etc. I personally liked this release better than the last Champions release, as it feels there are more diverse places that we can go, if that makes any sense without spoiling anything. If they made it similar in scope to the Visions of the Past release, then I wouldn't have any problems with it.I just find that some of the DRM are a bit boring as well as some of the skins overly flashy with too many effects that don't match.The armor sets and pieces, like the runic armor, raven/bear shaman armors, ebon shoulders, dragonrender helm, visage of the khan ur, stone summit armor and etc are quite simple but cool looking, and not overly flashy. I would like them to finish the leopard and wolf shaman sets as well as bring in more realistic looking armor and weapon skins.
