So do you? Do you work for ANET or NCSoft? I can only go by what I have read and saw NCSoft actions when I played AION, Blade & Soul, Lineage 2, and WildStar. Now I did not play GW1 cause I was having a lot of fun with the games above and did not have the time to add GW1 at that time but NCSoft is involved and can get involved in the contents as they have with the games mentioned above.

NCSoft is always involved. I have played most all of NCSoft game and the only reason NCSoft does not get involved is because ANET is making more money than the rest of their games - at that time. However, NCSoft does step in if they dont make the money just as they did last time. The more money ANET makes the less involved NCSoft is but if they don't then NCsoft already got involved and will again if ANET messes up again.

It seems it may not be in this EOD expansion but I think it is possible in the next one - maybe but if they ever do decide to make a new playable race then Tengu is on the top of that list. A good clue that it may never happen would be if they gave us a Battle Tonic which for me that would be cheap and lazy.

Actually the decision is really NCSoft not ANET if that was the case there would not be layoffs in ANET. Also to be honest the decision what is best for the company is not some you or I know - that is on them and even if they think its a good "business decision" it can be a bad one. However, a good clue is to cater to the customers. Many asked for fishing and we will have it not as great as in New World but good enough.

Looking at today's Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons - Shing Jea Island video shown a few Tengu and even one snapshot of one standing alone on a platform for a few sections in the clip - so there still hope as a playable race or combat tonic in this EOD or the next one.

Players have provided some vids and proof that this was the case in the 1st few pages of this trend.

Thank you ANET for the merge. This can be possible just a matter of time to make this happen since this was one of the original before they launched but decided to go vegan with the salad Sylvari which I do play that race.

This reminds me of RIFT's Conquest... only thing when I was playing that game you had to quickly join one of the allegiance before it maxed out if you ended not joining of either of the two dominant sides then you pretty much ended up in an automatic losing allegiance side which is not much fun and many would just leave and it would be really 2 large guilds fighting each other. I really hope it does not end up this way. ANET should also looking what made RIFT fail and succeed in that area. As for GW2 allegiance new WvW focus, I like the idea it will get rid of the constant dead time zones which will be nice. I hope ANET makes it work because when Allegiance battles both in RIFT and AION were active they were alot of fun and no matter what time you logged in there was always massive battles and you can see a sea of red enemies everywhere.

We shall see.. for now it seems as mentioned here servers turn into guilds; for example, you already see MAG guild. Additionally, I think like some here that it will turn into the toxic guilds where if you don't only rep them you are kicked, you do not agree you're kicked, you don't show up at a certain time to fight in WvW... you're kicked. Anet mentioned they will keep an eye on WvW so lets see what happens when "if" they noticed that really 500 players in one area is a combo of the main guild and their sister guilds. So It could be like one big BG vs MG vs JQ members and the pugs, solo, roamers, smaller groups end up in the "pug" guild". This happened in RIFT where they have guilds telling their members to quickly join a side before the match started and the rest that can't make it they end up in the automatic losing side. Oh well we shall see how it works and I hope ANET fixes or help avoid a monopoly environment. I will keep roaming and I do like the idea of a dedicated smaller group of players but even that is hard as many do not roam solo and not much havoc groups around. I can't even join or start a havoc roaming group because a good majority of players stick with the Zergs. So Zergs end up taking a camp because no roamer or havoc around to do so. I really would love for this to work and no more dead zone hours. That is the nice part so far what I like about this so far.

This is interesting and I understand the OP. In WvW enemy players use block to get your name to message you in chat and or send you and mail. Many of them are salty because they died especially to a lower rank and some like use it to troll or know your location on the map and try to find you that way to either gank or try to fight again over and over even if they lose or win if more help them. I also noticed they will use the block feature to find your location especially in a zerg fight and in that fight a group will target you every time so you have to be extra careful not to get pulled by them or have their friends or the zerg to target you in every zerg fight. I also noticed in PVE if you do have them blocked or they have me blocked they can see where on the pve map you are on and bother you there as well if they can find you even in a fractal. I would also check your friends list which I do not understand why we cannot remove players from the friends or followers list. Because some act nice to get on your list then you find out its their alt or they are tell others where you are like a spy. And worse they can add themselves on your followers list and still track you from there as well and we cant delete them. The only thing I can do is just place myself invisible in WvW to avoid them targeting me and sending me their whispers and mail. It would be nice if ANET can think of a solution because I do like Followers and Friends list but just some players like to abuse it. The funny part is they will send you hate or crying whispers and mail but they block you from replying - Go figure...

I think the examples provided in those videos/links after reviewing some is showing there is an interest in having a Tengu as a playable race.

You are right, what about the Legendary aqua breather from what I see the legendary template that is the only item left that is still an ascended item.

1st legendary gear = ascended gear just that legendary gear is easier to update. For me if you want pvp/wvw legendary gear you go to pvp/wvw. If you want pve legendary then it would be Raids in this game so far. World exploration can be completed really fast and I never so far played a game where exploration granted you best game gear or in this case legendary. My take on the legendary is the same understanding in other games where if you want top gear or again.. in this case legendary gear it's understood as hard work and not easy to get. Now in this game legendary is not really top gear as it is the same as ascended gear stat it is just easier to change builds with legendary. I am working on my WvW legendary gear as that is my main focus but I do some pve for now but I can tell you if I want the PVE or mix the look of PVE and some WvW or PvP legendary gear that is reachable as well just have to work and make sure I have the builds needed to get to that goal. The same goes for the legendary weapons as I am working on those as well. I wonder if we get a legendary fishing pole for fishing ... jk.

I prefer the older version as I wish I can get that twitter off my screen as it keeps popping up on the right side. I rather read ANET replies in this media that see some random statement in twitter on right side of this page. We should have an option to remove it or keep it.

I agree, I think ranger is a good one.

I guess in WvW if we kill a bunch of Tengu in a Zerg Fight = bucket of chicken.

I have been told 1st few years in WvW there was an island in the middle of the map where players had to get some items underwater. I was informed there were a lot of underwater battles via zerg, havoc groups, or roamers. There were always someone fighting underwater. Currently in WvW there are some fights underwater as well and sometimes you can lure a few to chase you and fight them as well. In PVE there are some under water boss fights as well. I also think there are some underwater swim speed infusions which I have not yet looked into how to get them.

Hello Sobx, My replies were based on your feedback really targeting on a statement that I did not type or imply what you say I thought you said... funny reminds me of the Abbott & Costello - who's on first. Anyway, I also provided more information about my other comments. If you cannot see the connection based on my previous replies to your comments then I can't help you. Relax, I am not after you as I simply asked you a question since I saw you had a lot of posting and I am surprised with so much posting you can't see I asked you a simple question that is all. It was not a sneaky question, I got you question, or this new so called "attempt at strawman" - that is another fight you have with someone else in this chat - not me. Clearly you are correct having such a high posting count does not mean much or show any experienced in the game or about the game as it could be just posting, yapping, and fighting to trigger others just to increase a count. So not fixated - Thanks anyway. If I am after you or targeting you - I would clearly had made sure you know. So, no need to repeat my feedback/comment or add more to this reply as I already have provided more information in my last feedback. Thanks, 🙂

Hello Sobx, Please note the following: Please show me where in my comment did I say that you said "..nothing players want should be included in the game.." because I know what I typed and I did not type that at all. I asked you a question since you have 4k+ posts. I asked if you recall the issues with the WvW Alliance. Quick question, you have been posting for a while 4k+ I am sure you do remember so many negative posts and feedback saying no WvW Alliance it will end GW2, etc..." because I see the same issues that topic had in its long lists of postings and yet we will have it in EOD. I did not miss that part of "not every" want. My comments is based on this comment "...I want to get gemstore items for free. Now that we identified my wants, it needs to happen or I won't be happy, so it's going against the "key to a successful business", right?..." I asked you a question based on the amount of postings you have and it was not an attack at you but a simple question as " Hey you have a 4k+ postings you remember the feedback from WvW Alliance...." simple. and I did not say that you said..."....". In addition, it is true not every "want" we ask in the game will happen but if we do not ask - then how would we know. Maybe just maybe they at that moment in time they may say no under that management but hey that was the case with WvW Alliance and now we have a new management and now its included in EOD. So in conclusion, I asked you a question and your 2nd paragraph in your reply is not nothing based on my comments saying you said... Maybe my smile face pissed you off and you posted but if you read it - I asked you a question and pointed out we did get some free items in the gem store - so not every "want' was granted but at least we got something. Note (no smile face at the end as it may be a trigger. oO

Quick question, you have been posting for a while 4k+ I am sure you do remember so many negative posts and feedback saying no WvW Alliance it will end GW2, etc... At one point I do recall ANET previous management mentioned way before WvW Alliance that WvW was at that time at the back-end and they were focused at that time in PvP eSport and PVE/LivingWorld. Now we have new ANET management (Mike Back) and we are going to get WvW Alliance. So posting what you would like may end up getting it or not but if you don't post or ask we will never know if you get it or not. As for the some free gem store items request you mentioned above we got that as well as ANET does give us some free items from the gem store from time to time. 🙂

Yea you are right in WvW using a combat tonic in order to get away using a mount you have to cancel the tonic to use the mount and that's a problem. In Pve its not much of an issue but WvW it is and I also agree using the Tonic everyone would look a like and you cannot do what we call fashion wars. That would be a shame since the Tengu are both colorful and pain based on both the game and artwork in the Anet sites. Right now using the Kodan combat tonic all the players look the same.

During the EOD 1st things were mentioned like replay value, update to DX11, fishing and not the end of GW2 as they view EOD as the next big stepping stone of this franchise and plenty of more things to come… So, adding a new race makes sense be it Tengu or another one in this expansion or the next one. However, Tengu is at the top of the list from what I am reading. Now, 1st we do not work with or for ANET. I am getting tired of players saying No and a bunch of excuses again you do not work for ANET or NCSoft. If innovative/creative companies listens to the “you can’t do it, too much work, not enough ROI, no one wants that, no customers for your product. Well… then we would not have iPod, Apple, WOW, Movies like John Wick, Resident Evil, Marvel Movies, Boxers like Manny Pacquiao aka PacMan that he is too old but to be honest he will win and can beat them all even ducky Spence. Anyway back to this topic, some wanted Kodan as a playable race ANET settled it with a combat Tonic so that playable race is off the table. Now some want Tengu or another playable race so we shall see if that is possible and only ANET knows if they will look into this; however, they have not said no … yet. (That confirmation was already provided in previous pages by other players) Also there is evidence that ANET had Tengu as a playable race. Again all this talk about it can’t be done, too much work, does not make sense; however, ANET is the creator and if they want they can make it work to make sense. Some asked for Fishing, mounts, flying but we got gliding, WvW Alliance and many said no with the same feedback – yet we have them. So for those that keep saying no too much work… what do you want that will help this game? You want more loots, gear, dungeons, raids, etc… why not post. So let the players ask/post what and keep the posts alive then let us see want ANET decide or provide feedback. I am sure a good amount of players that said no … no new race would be the 1st to create one and play it and say wow this is great, love it! If we don’t ask and keep posts alive such as WvW Alliance Posts then we will not know if we get it or not but if you never post then you will never know at all. Keep posting.

I love this ! I would play it in the background if we ever get to play Tengu race !

Funny but true it does seem like a Turtle Taxi so I will not be surprised that what alot of players will call it as a Turtle Taxi just like players named our buddy Steve which he will soon be around in OCT.
