How hard can it be? We just got some voided mordrem in EOD - surely they could have done some holograms while they were at it! Not a biggie at the end of the day, just bugs me every time I visit the Dragon Arena.

Ok, well I guess that covered the what and how, but I'm still struggling with the why? Gliding and mounts gave me new and dynamic ways to experience the world and forever changed how I play the game. I use them both all the time. I'm still struggling to understand the point of fishing? Or a multiplayer skimmer? I'm sure it'll be fun for 5 minutes and the collectionists will have something to keep them quiet for a couple of days, but then what? Why will I ever want to go back and fish again? New recipes? I hardly use most of the ones I've got. Mobility? I've got mounts. Chilling out? That's what I play the game for! If I want to sit around doing nothing I'll go read a book or watch TV. Maybe I'm missing something, but I just don't get it. This is looking about as useful as those Raven masteries from IBS. I really hope there's more to come, because if this is all they've got then EOD is going to be a total disappointment.

New Fishing and Skiff Video......

How about a serious upgrade/revamp to underwater combat - sadly neglected since launch? More skills, masteries, mounts, etc to revitalise what used to be a pretty cool experience. New underwater legendaries (even an aquabreather). It even makes sense from a lore perspective - the only dragon left is bubbles, and we gotta go past him to get to Cantha. We could finally meet the largos, find out what happened to the krait and quaggans. -

You might have a longer wait for a mesmer to help with Searing Ascent though... -
Reactions to the Finale, Judgment [Poll]
Tortoiseshell Sweep.3265 replied to Lost in Hyrule.2963's topic in Living World
That's far too simplistic an analysis, and misses the point. The complaint isn't about the number of maps with destroyer minions or dragon influence, it's about the story and interactions between the hero (the player character) and the villain (particularly Primordus, though the Jormag arc also felt rushed to the end). Although Primordus has been around since EOTN and we even met him in S3E5, he has never actually been active in our presence, just a lurking menace. Given his stature as the first of the elder dragons, and all the build up, he deserved to actually DO something to justify that stature. As it was he was rushed off stage before he ever really arrived. The whole Champions chapter felt rushed, dropped plot lines, and failed to justify the build up. That's why I'm disappointed, and whatever happens with EOD this will remain a low point that could (and should) have been so much more. -
Gem sales in UK?
Tortoiseshell Sweep.3265 replied to Tortoiseshell Sweep.3265's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
Ok, fair enough then. It didn't work for me sadly. I went to gamecardsdirect and added the card to my basket at 40 EUR, and when I went to pay it changed it to 40 GBP. That's about 5% less than the normal 42.50 GBP on the gemstore, so I guessed it was probably a favourable currency rate or something. With a 1.5% card transaction fee, it wasn't really worth it (I didn't see a paypal option). Having gone back to have a look today, it appears they normally sell them at 50 GBP so I guess it was a 20% discount, but when the normal price is a 15% markup it's not that great really. I don't have much experience of buying stuff online in other currencies so I guess I must have missed something. -
Gem sales in UK?
Tortoiseshell Sweep.3265 replied to Tortoiseshell Sweep.3265's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
The sale in Europe was on sites selling in Euros. When I switched to GBP they weren't discounting them (if they even had any in stock). -
Any news on whether we'll be getting a 20% gem sale in UK? I'd like to buy some stuff but holding on for news of a sale...

Devs August 2019: We're gonna do another LW season saga instead of an expansion, but don't worry it'll be expansion level content. Devs April 2021: Here's another 20 mins of instanced content and another pointless mastery - but hey, you got all those repetitive achievements to grind so that'll keep you busy... If that was expansion-level content then I don't want to know what they've got planned for EOD.- 170 replies

Tortoiseshell Sweep.3265 replied to Tortoiseshell Sweep.3265's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
Yeah - it's £40 via that site (which is <6% discount on the normal £42.50) and then some weird payment methods that add transaction fees. Think I'll wait for the UK gem sale to appear in GBP, so we actually get a discount! 🙂 -
Gem sales in UK?
Tortoiseshell Sweep.3265 replied to Tortoiseshell Sweep.3265's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
Not sure - will depend on the exchange rates and fees from my bank I presume. Will likely be less than 20% so I'd rather wait for the UK sale, just not sure when that will be? (Think my Canadian friends have a similar situation) -
Any news on when the UK will get 20% gem sales? I wanna grab me a Nika assassin outfit and some shared inventory slots, but will wait for the discount....

Disconnects, ruining the game.

Thrown out twice trying to explore Queensdale on my new character - got kicked back to DR each time and lost my progress (waypoints etc). Bad enough they gave us a patch with no content, without it being completed bugged as well! :angry:
