I'll throw in a name for consideration. A name that is inextricably linked to the Mists: Lord Odran.

Yeah, I see what you're getting at. Could be. The only issue with it being Menzies is the Kryptis. Why would Menzies abandon the Shadow Army when they're obviously still a viable threat (as seen in Dragonfall) to take up new allies/minions? Also, in relation to it being a Charr, the only Charr who's visited the Mists and returned is Rytlock (with Balthazar's aid). The silhouette fits but lore-wise? I'm still leaning towards a new villain we've not seen before, or a very old obscure one.

I don't recall Menzies being decapitated. However, it was established back in GW1 lore that Balthazar arrived on Tyria with the other gods carrying the head of his father. This could be a reason for Menzies' hatred of his half-brother. I personally hope Menzies' isn't the villain though - I'm hoping for someone else, someone more obscure from the GW1 archives.

Just found this out as well. Got the recipe, crafted the warhorn, but got no credit for the achievement. Any chance of a fix please?

Same here. 0HP and he seemed to fall off the platform, despawn and.................nothing.....

What about expanding boon rip on a huge scale? Bosses in raids and strikes rip boons on hits, and maybe all boons on critical hits?

I think, and hope, that this balance patch is designed to prepare the playing community for one thing: the mass duration nerf of ALL boons. Halving each and every boon duration, but giving all classes the ability to provide these boons, will ensure that more coordination occurs, as each squad has to have multiple players to cover part of the boon 100% uptime. This might lead to diversity in squads and instance teams.

I've always felt that the entire expansion was a missed opportunity story-wise. So much rich culture, history and conflict in Cantha that was ignored, relegated and retconned for Jade Tech.

If you played GW1, there was a much better combat tutorial in Shing Jea Monastery that they should have used as a template.

The 15% trade tax is too high. Maybe Ebon Gnashblade needs to rethink it and have a free listing day once in a while, make it seem less like he's getting money for nothing. 😛

We really just need the mech to transform into a jade squid or octopus....

I'm with you on the GW1 weapon & armour skins. My scrapper wants his tetsubo!

I'm hoping for entirely new characters, descendants of the Canthan NPCs from Factions.

Looks fairly similar to a Vertebreaker from GW:Factions. https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Vertebreaker Perhaps an evolution of that?

I'd like to see all of the Canthan weapon skins from GW1, like Testubo, Dadao Sword, Bladed Shield etc. But as we didn't get much in the way of Elonian skins from Path of Fire, I don't hold out much hope for anything different in EoD. Maybe I'll be proved wrong at launch.
