reviews from these sites have ZERO relevance. These same "professional" reviewers were "positive" about Catalyst and other awful elite specs hhahahaah! Fanboys desperately want EoD to be good, but all signs point to the inevitable.

Of course. That studio is running on fumes and the last saving grace it had was this travesty, EoD. All signs consistently point to EoD being a whimper and no future for GW 2. This is the LAST expansion and more like a package of LW episodes if you compare it to the previous two ACTUAL expansions.

Lol this is but one of MANY missed opportunities. The time for GW 2 to expand and innovate and to avoid its inevitable closure has long passed. The crew-size has been decimated. Its reputation littered with scandals. Quality has nose-dived. Nearly every opportunity missed. No one left there to drive a true vision or inspire. The team is dwindling and deflating every few months and more and more lesser positions are now running the leading positions. Worst of all... their direction has ZERO intention of doing anything differently or improving anywhere. Only doubling and tripling down on everything they have done wrong. That assures the final nail in GW 2's coffin. There is literally no hope for GW 2's future. This "expansion" if you can even call it that is the last breath of a dying game and development. It had so much potential but unfortunately the wrong hands to carry it to that potential success. However, we are in a new age now where MANY new MMORPG's are arising and it's about time something finally includes, replaces, and even does better all the things we loved from GW 2.

Will be hilarious to see the results AFTER EoD releases and disappoints hhahahah!!😂😳

Look what they did to the Mursaat story, Primordus and Jormag, and so many others. Butchered and rushed. Useless and awful characters like Braham living way... wayyyy past their expiration date and tied to an elder dragon to desperately make them relevant. A massive insult to these dragons and the players who were excited about the dragon storyline. Does anyone really think the Deep Sea Dragon will be done justice in how it's presented or the story around it executed? Based on what? The GW 2 story has been so twisted, forced around inorganically and inauthentically, mashed-together, and reheated over and over for the past years that the chance of the final dragon story being done well is an absolute pipe-dream. I won't even touch upon how ear-bleeding the dialogue is or how painful it is that you can't skip it. I used to be so excited to experience this part of the story for so long. Now... I only want to be proven wrong. Please let me be wrong. https://i.imgur.com/cSTCRHE.jpg

What makes you think that was an assertion and not a point about the relevance of TCs? You came here to my thread to complain about someone else's discussion and weren't able to accurately discern what was being said. You literally did what you incorrectly claimed I did. Did you have anything else to raise that is on topic or did you just want to post your "strawman" argument, report, and then run away? "a tool of the clueless" Yes, that's what they called you when they sent you to me.

If only your failed-leader did as well.

Aggro is tied to enemies you are in combat with. When they are killed the aggro lifts. It's always been that. If you are aggroed to targets, they are not killed and they are within the aggro range or enough to follow you to keep you in range. You can easily see or be aware of anything that keeps you in combat and you can break that stance by leaving their aggro range and follow range. Targets do die, there is a duration, and it is way too long. Aggro lifts just before respawn or expiration. It should never take that long. Nor should NPCs be finishing themselves or players respawning after finished by 2 or more NPCs. I'm sure those dialogue scenes and cutscenes give many benefits to the mechanics of scenes. Yet "not about forcing dialogues on you" is incorrect. There are many places throughout the missions where it literally serves no mechanical purpose or lasts far longer than it would ever be needed. You don't need a 10-11 minute dialogue scene when no event or objectives follow and if you're using long and slow dialogue sequences as events then you are making unnecessary or poor content. If they were that desperate to pinch pennies they would have set several past upgrades and QoL additions to the game as gem store purchases. They would have been far more lucrative and beneficial than TCs and consistent. There is no rational excuse for TCs even at Anets standards. There is no credible argument for them. TCs need to go. End of story. Where do you see me say that I "know what "actual longtime players" want". I can't seem to find that, but I can quote where I said I made this thread for the fixes that I want.

Pales in comparison. And you make it sound like those are meaningless modes yet you don't get to the real fruit of the game without doing those exact modes. You've claimed to be a casual or less. You've proven to be a casual or less. And unfortunately your opinion does not have enough weight or relevance for these matters. Yet they do give insight into another problem with the game.

Not quite. The credibility of a casual is far less than that of a full-time vet. So my credibility far exceeds that of a casual and is therefore not "likewise" in any extent. Yet at least we both can say we enjoy the same game, even if one of us cares more for its integrity and is more knowledgeable of its intricacies and specifics than the other.

You must be new here. Welcome. Look at my post history. What makes you think I expect the devs to do any of this let alone take requests from my posts 😆 This is for laughs as always. The only thing I expect from Anet is to quadruple down on everything they've done so far including ignoring anything that should be fixed. Can't wait for Braham to be an Elder Dragon in EoD.

And in all that time, you glossed over everything and played as a casual, being carried and guided the whole way through. Eating what was put in front of you. Believing what you were told. And never once noticing anything of detail anywhere in the entirety of the game experience. This is why your opinion on at least these matters, have little worth. However, casuals have their purpose as well especially in terms of filling old content. So we thank you for your service. Had you played the game with more than a casual, careless perspective, you would know the game is already broken left and right. It was down for a week for some players just a month ago. Skipping the dialogue moments as they are in expansion content would be removing the design of those scenes. So yes, they would not work without them. That isn't an excuse not to go in and fix what should have been done right in the first place. It will break. It will be down. But it needs to be fixed. And for all content going forward it needs to never have such poor design ever again. It's not rocket science bud. TC's are simply not leading income for Anet. Mount skins, loot boxes, and ugly skins are pushed hard for a reason. There is literally no excuse or credible defense for TCs. The fact that they are so easy to get is just more evidence that they are redundant and that system needs updating. TCs are hardly the only thing that is outdated in the game and just needs to go. They are just the most redundant of them all. Well good on you. Be proud of what you are. Just don't expect to have credibility outside of that.

If EoD has this with bikinis and trunks it may have some worth yet.

More assumptions. What makes you think I expect only agreement? According to your own logic this thread doesn't belong to you. *turns a confused MikeG around* See that? That's the virtual door. Exit through there 😊

/gg is for dungeons and fractals bud

Well it wouldn't be tradition without Grentch now would it?

1 - If you haven't seen and felt the exact duration of aggro throughout the game you clearly haven't played it before or you pretend it doesn't exist. It does and it is wayyy too long and unnecessary. 2 - Bullsht. It's as simple as not putting in that crap in the first place. That dialogue needs to be in a cutscene you can skip. It should not be an overly long anchor point for the mechanics of the mission in order for it to proceed. Who here enjoyed that 11-min Kormir Library scene? Fudge that sh t all day. Anet will do anything for you to endure their horrendous dialogue. 3 - Shouldn't even be an issue let alone for this long. Embarrassing. 4 - Doesn't matter. It's not about how easy or difficult it is to acquire them. They need to be gone. Period. 5 - Nope. It's a waste of time and of poor design. There should be a choice. 6 - It's slow as sh t. Desperately needs to be repaired. Incorrect. They barely put anything in EoD. Or more specifically anything un-recycled and relevant. Not worth $30. Barely worth $15. Fishing? LOL. Stop. Mount that requires 2 people to use fully? Please... New legendaries? You mean that ugly black lion set you can change to look like each elder dragon's dil doe collection? GTFOH! 😂

LOL you're not in our own thread there bud. Look where you are. There is literally no relevance in what you agree or don't agree on. These are what I want to be fixed. What makes you think I don't like story or that I am downed a lot? First you mistake the thread for your own and now you are making silly assumptions 😆 What do I propose in place of TCs? Did you even read the thread? Those useless POS need to be GONE! That's the point.

That's the point. What makes you think they are going to fix anything larger than this? Come now.

Anet Devs, since you're not adding anything relevant or exciting in EoD and over-charging for it, can you at least use some of the money gained from it (assuming you actually make any profit from it) and fix these longgggggg overdue and actually necessary QoL fixes: 1 - Extremely long and unnecessary aggro duration - When you kill an NPC in the PvP lobby and it's been dead for a good 15 seconds and nothing else is aggroed but you are still in the combat stance... does that make sense to you? Letting the NPC's finish themselves off is also not a trade off for this. That needs to be fixed too 2 - Ability to skip mission dialogue - You might love hearing the verbal diarrhea you write over and over but for players that need to get going and have suffered through it once, it needs to be skippable 3 - Rev utilities rarely remain in the same position when builds are swapped in PvP. Why have you done nothing for this let alone still not touch it even to this day? 4 - Transmutation Charges are the most outdated and unnecessary thing in any game ever. And when you have Quaggans in your game that is saying something. Transmutation Charges needed to go... about 6 years ago. Time to come into 2022, Anet 5 - Why the fudge is there no option to kill your character off when in the downstate? When the enemy takes its time finishing you off and you can't heal because one hit puts your downed heal in recharge it's beyond ridiculous. Why the fudge are downed skills even on such long recharges at all before you even use them? Just pointless. Log Out to Character Screen has become the go-to option to deal with the aggro and downed state nonsense and it shouldn't be 6 - Fix the Trading Post speed. It was all fine and dandy and then you fudged it up around PoF time and never bothered to fix it There's infinitely more stuff that hasn't been touched but we all know just 10 percent of this is asking far too much of you. Instead of going on yet ANOTHER vacation, you could have used this time to actually fix some issues in the game. You barely put anything into EoD, the least you could do is fix annoying issues such as these. At least put some worth into all that mount skin and lootbox money you took.

Is literally anyone surprised??! Lol... just look at EoD... The whole thing is a joke.

No one likes that sad, pathetic excuse for an "elite spec". Anet mentioned they were all giddy for players to try it and patting themselves on the back as they usually do when they produce lukewarm content. And as usual they were completely blown away that everyone despises it. Easily the worst, most boring, poorly designed, and embarrassing "elite spec" GW 2 has ever had. What a huge middle finger to Guardian mains. You wait all this time for an impressive, fun, satisfying new way to play your favorite class, these only come once per expansion, and you get slapped with this trash... Peachy hated it. Anet should feel deeply ashamed and embarrassed by ever releasing or even thinking this travesty was anywhere near a good idea for an elite spec. Plenty more disappointment to come in EoD. This spec is the embodiment of what EoD has to offer. Just ridiculous.

So all this time and work to get this legendary trinket and to literally no surprise... the effect we've earned is just The Bifrost aura... Wow... 10/10 recycling job as usual Anet XD *adds to the extensive list for EoD* Can't wait to see what's recycled next🤣XD hahaha

For combat it's the only consistent mount. For mobility and ANYTHING else it's completely useless. It's a hinder for any other situation. It's as slow as the run speed of your character. It's leap is too low. Mastery won't help that much either. It can't float on water, swim consistently, or move anywhere other than at the bottom of the ocean so now it has to deal with all the environmental obstacles we never had to deal with before, and is clunky and slow as heck to get to the surface. The Dev controlling it nearly had a stroke trying to get it to move anywhere just to find something to kill and Ruby was getting impatient waiting for her driver to get moving. If your own members are struggling with this mount how do you think the players will feel? So it can't fly, can't leap high enough, can't move fast, and has all the slippery slide effects of the skimmer. On top of that you have to have a second player to control the cannons? Its main use? LOL... This is purely a group combat mount. Nothing else. And its attack is weak and takes too long to recharge. Just another failed, empty feature of this hollow "expansion". Do you have anything... ANYTHING at all in EoD that is NOT a fail Anet? Is there anything in this recycled patch that is worth getting excited for and paying our hard earned money for? Is this all you have to offer after all this time and for this much money? What a disgrace.

Yes and it's 13 accts 50 is too many to keep track of 😄
