For Catalyst, I'd still love a mini Jade Orb if the class can't provide one like the lil gyro buddy on scrapper. Also, please look at Elemental Empowerment again- it might be easy to get to 10 stacks in going to multiple attunements but its near impossible in just one attunement using just catalyst skills nor does it last more than a few seconds anyways. Maybe consider reducing the cooldown for those that grant it or just rework Empowered Empowerment to just double it benefits per stack with no ceiling requirement.

well as written its a bit high risk high reward moment to moment. With all clones out you still get 8 sec of might and now 4 sec of alac instead of 2.5 so thats a buff BUT they gota be out and shattering will be a no no. It's gona be inconsistant on smaller enemies too since clones shatter after its dead.

The staff mirage change is a bit much. I'm glad the boons are still centered on character because staff clones are sometimes far away however shattering is a cornerstone for mesmers so this reduces build diversity a bit and relying on flimsy clones that disappear moment to moment will make certain battles scale poorly.

My bad I will clarify, might be done with a squad of 5 raiders xD

They need to tune it because its impossible with less than 10 people and all the adds respawn eventually.

If you are implying they had "better things to do" than be on this stream....that's very unbecoming.

OMG right?! Anet: These are our future philosophies that we will be implementing into the game and we will detail why in future patch notes. Players: I just don't understand WHY these changes aren't in the game yet... Anet: Feedback is an important tool to help gauge our efforts so continue to do that. Players: We'Ve GiVeN EnOuGh FEEdBacK!!!!

They literally said that in the stream though. When future patch notes come out they will be detailing the philosophy and reasonings why. #activelistening

These questions are so specific and with a team of around 4 or so I just have to assume they are working on all of that right now or have been working on it right now. That's like giving someone a job at a landfill of sorting garbage and not only being frustrated it's not done months later but that they don't know the content of metal for each soda can. I do believe each one of those questions will be answered eventually and its not anytime soon. We went from 'somebody" favoring classes and not taking balance seriously to having a dedicated team with passion and expertise with an actual living game philosophy in-hand. This is huge progress.

They might be able to go more in-depth to your liking but they also walk a fine line when it comes to what they might consider trade-secrets when it comes to gaming. They can't tell us everything which is why I think this entire endeavor is a bit silly because they will never satisfy certain players because they can't and won't go in-depth enough without risking reveals. I'd rather they just DO the balance and let it speak for itself.

Each of those subjects is under the heading of one of the slides which they don't have hours and hours of time to answer. Each one of your questions would take a minimum of 30 minutes talking to get to. The stream was about 40 min. WHICH of those would you like for them to answer?

Extra Life bonus not in game yet. Please investigate ❤️

Could that poor lady in Bjora with the Yak who is constantly being manipulated forever into investigating the murder outside the keep get maybe an official update/rest/relief from from her tormented hell. I just want her to be okay. It could even be a throwaway comment about her moving on in someway. I'll take anything!

I believe the dev who helped make the jade bot system left anet so I assume the desire to not add more frames to a map (which was the underlying concern) was phased out as well.

There are a ton of skins that are not the base species - birds for raptors, lizard for springers, robot for skyscales, hedgehog for beetles etc. Why not a tank for a siege turtle?

now they just need to make them cost less than a mount skin.....

New players coming into this game have no idea who Bloody Prince Thorn is because the Reliquary instance was taken out after two years. PLEASE put it back so people can follow the history of the halloween event. Also, last year it was said Prince Thorn was pondering his next move and I believe not even a new crumb of lore is present this year which is sad. If you can bring season 1 back please bring these fun instances back too.

This "bug" has been around for years but certain wisp enemies, effects, and volatile magic nodes will appear as if they are under the water's surface even when they aren't. If you swing your view around and put the object simply in front of the body of water they will visually appear as if under water. I can't figure out how to post a picture here but it might be easy to replicate around volatile magic.

You can even balance the shroud timer with maybe every hit you take while in shroud lowers endurance by XYZ %.

I thought I read years ago mirage was going to get it's own type of shatters like chrono. Maybe they scraped that because of ambushes?

I do wish the serve emote was a bit more sophisticated in the summoning of the tea pitcher and plate. It just appears. A minor poof effect would enhance the serving.

I don't need to guess. Bladesongs are their version of shatters so why can't chrono have the equivalent? Yes, like the one person suggestion it's low priority allegedly, but I think it's consistent to the theme.

Technically it's Bladesong Distortion so Chrono could easily have Time Distortion.

Regardless of that, you assigning value to my issue is problematic. Naming skills is as important as what those skills do.
