So I am confusion...

Glad you asked that question, I second @Aaron Ansari.1604 's answer :)

haha yeah :D

Spoiler: It does nothing. It's so bad, that I think it's actually bugged...

since this post, every single encounter in story is easy as asked for, so sad there won't be any challenge ever in this game anymore.

Uh what? Cos it was turned into grindfest instead of fun, challenging content?HoT was nerfed then to PoF level, also the same thing happened with other content as well. It all started when people were asking for easier everything, now we can see perfectly where it all led to - all focus on Living World which offers nothing anyway lol

... but if I were you, I'd not take any deep roots in this game, because GW2 does not have a future anymore, I'd not bother spending money on Gemstore, because everyone feels it: GW2 is heading into the Unknown. It hurts me so deeply, because I feel like I was the last one who wanted so bad to not let this all be true, and I was so desperate to prove it.... But... we're heading into the Unknown, and it's going to be a very bittersweet 2020, because there is only a tiny "ray of hope", and the words are not followed by actions. So if you are looking for a game with a future, it's the saddest thing I'll say, GW2 is not a game for you. :(

With all of our theories we need to create a secret group of GW-nati :D

Yes a lot to catch up

Don't you know she and Anise are Lyssa in disguise?

So basically if you make the content you love today, you know you get a nice rewards, you get gold for that and loot, you know you will get the same amount of rewards every day, because that's what make games fun, you get in, do something profitable because it's fun, and there is no need to run RIBA 24/7, instead everone would do raids, fractals, dungeons, and if people get more gold. If GW2 would truly strive for the fun, this would be the GW2 before HoT. Now we have a different game that basically has only one similarity: the name. It's not what it used to be, I could do daily fractals every day, and have profit and fun. That's what GW2 used to be, it's not anymore

People are so desperate, they will ask for anything, but no matter what they get, it won't make anything better, the issue aren't expansion level features which can as well never be released, but real MMORPG content like raids and fractals, instanced content. Also we are in the place that we got nothing essential to look forward to. Ask yourself what are you looking forward to in GW2? There essentially nothing new coming, the Saga is even worse than Season 4, at least it had a raid and a fractal, but the rebranded Season 5 will get nothing like this in months - this is very bad and very concerning. I play this game to have fun with others, but for a long time GW2 forces me to play alone the story instances. WoW has scenarios which you play with others and main story you play for yourself. GW2 is missing MMO component in every single possible way. It's so sad that now I have to pray to gods for people to do random events anywhere, people don't feel any urge to make a dynamic event just for fun, it all must be FARM. Truth is GW2 is basically a meaningless farm, because raids or higher fractals don't get enough recognition or have equally good rewards for getting the same amount of gold doing T4 in an hour, as if you would farm Silverwastes for 8 hours. Imagine all the LFG parties. The same with Raids, for doing a single wing, you would get the same amount of gold as if you farmed Saw for 12 hours - meaningful content is only then if you feel rewarded for doing what you like. Farming SW for hours every day is in my opinion the greatest sickness of this game, it becomes a job. Attracting people with rewards make a content repeatable and people return every day to get big fat rewards for doing something fun and meaningful. GW2 is basically a farm wars and it should not be, it destroys the Anet's value - Strive for fun.

GW2 is indeed heading to a place of stagnation, there is very little to look forward to. With that we all agree, but GW2 deserves a good death if eventually comes. We can hope, but the Announcement on Aug. 30 didn't assure safety of GW2 on the market, since then people are being not toxic, but realizing that GW2 is not a really visionary game anymore. I agree with that, what is now happening with GW2 is very sad, bad news coming so often, I don't think Mike Z's "we aren't done" means another 7 fat years, but maybe 1 or 2. They will eventually release the final expansion and we will say good bye to the best MMORPG in the history that wasted its chance unfortunately... Still I love this game and all the people working on GW2, but I am not blind to see that it's going to be a very bittersweet 2020 for GW2...

With a larger competitive-focused update on the horizon Swiss coming on Dec. 24, you heard it first here. my whisper birds never lie ;)

does it mean what i think it means? :O holy broccoli!!!

Don't you want to rest? Sleep, give in the dream... Let go...

Imagine its strike mission lair is full of skinned people. Boneskinner would live up its name then...

Made me think that Boneskinner collects them to later skin them to bone.... O_o

Fixed an issue that prevented the boneskinner's health from scaling as intended. I went to kill Boneskinner again yesterday and it was a lot of fun now when this bug was fixed. The fight is pretty scary as promised and I could hear the screams of Vigil soldiers being dragged down somewhere... I think we all owe Arenanet a big apology, because the Boneskinner wasn't as hard as intended.

Boneskinner was bugged due the bad scaling.It's now harder and more engaging, also all the mechanics can be seen and the fight is pretty damn good!

Who compose the music for the Icebrood Saga? :) Is this astralaria-like thing that was highlighted in the final cinematic some kind of a portal? We go Beyond theory intensifies :D

I made a mistake and posted the same thread on reddit. I am crying because this toxicity on Tom and GW2 is killing me. Nothing is ever perfect, but Tom is trying to make this game's story so compelling, I can see how he cares. Am in the minority of people that love this game? Why I feel so lonely when I talk about how I love GW2? Is there something wrong with me?

I think it's his reaction to the recent posts about Almorra.

Absolutely must read: https://imgur.com/a/xdBFBBI You can find original posts on his Twitter account: https://twitter.com/tomabernathy Also today he will be present at Guild Chat, so you simply MUST watch this episode, because Tom Abernathy is one of the BEST-EST person at Arenanet.

I am on it
