😂 The same thing was said 10 years ago, and here we are. @Brother Dulfite.5793, there have been tons of GW3 threads. They have led nowhere. Why not focus on what you would like to see in GW2 past-EoD? The game is not going to end with the next expansion, so it would be more productive to focus on something real rather than "dream" about something that might or might not happen in the far future.

RE: CHARACTER SELECTION SCREEN in EoD Must-haves: Characters sized by height, not width (hence the current cut-offs) 100% neutral lighting like we used to have pre-PoF Feet not covered by textures Nice-to-haves: Selectable backgrounds/themes Sorting options for characters (by race, profession, level, playtime, or custom)

Paragon was Nightfall, not Factions - that ship has sailed past us a long time ago. Hmph, I see they really tried to go for "something new" with such force that we can forget about any of the wonderful professions from GW1 for good. 😥 No Monk elite spec for the Guradian... 😭 So far, I am not thrilled with the new elite spec previews. I see a lot of visual clutter and character-hopping incoming. WvW will be "fun." What for? We will be able to try them out in a few days. Also, there is the next Live Stream tomorrow: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/youre-invited-to-the-first-elite-specialization-beta-event/

New trailer?!? Eek! Must see.... *off to Twitter* Edit: Uhm... Revenant 2.0 confirmed?

Zhaitan - the only Elder Dragon that looked its part... rather than looking like a badly drawn cartoon. Its whole design and animations were excellent. A shame the story mission dedicated to its end was so poorly engineered.

I agree that a lot appears extremely hard when you come into HoT from the rather simple core content. When I first entered Verdant Brink, I gave up after an hour or two and didn't touch the content again for another 6 months. (My RL best friend also quit GW2 over HoT.) Then I really got my teeth into it, but until certain Masteries had been leveled, it was still quite challenging (especially to my nerves 😅 ). Once you get used to the difference between core content and expansion content, however, it's not that bad. These days, I prefer the challenging parts to the boring, easy parts of the game. And as others mentioned, you will always find help if you absolutely need it.

The latest news entry suggests: "You may also want to see someone at the Durmand Priory about that, depending on how long you’ve spent around corrupted artifacts." Anyone went to see Ogden about it, or otherwise figured out what they meant by that? Or was it merely a "fun reference" to the Elder Dragon research at the Priory?

Hah hah hah hah! 😂 That's exactly what I meant. _______________________________________________ I can see the new Elite Spec to be something around the concept of an Imperial Guard.

Well, me too, but it's one thing to be unhappy about a product you have already tested/have all the information about and another to badmouth a future release. Each their own, I guess. 😉

I recommend Runes over Sigils, to be honest. It's convenient to be able to get any stats you want on each of your legendary armor sets across your whole account. Of course, if you are only going to make one, then a Sigil makes more sense than just one single Rune.

Thanks. 🙂 And now it's one more slot. 🙃 Can you place those items in your bank? If so, you should contact support about the issue.

How do you know it will be a piece of crap? We don't have all the information yet. Scepticism might be warranted, but everything beyond that is a little premature.

I agree. If the game was more popular, they could hire more developers and release more content more frequently. The thing is: I am getting the impression that ANet actually enjoys being a smaller-scale game company. (shrugs)

6 Runes for the armor 1 Rune for the aquabreather (yes, can be used across builds and characters, as if the ascended breathers were legendary) 4 Sigils for your two land-based weapon sets (2 Sigils per set) 4 Sigils for your two aquatic weapons (2 Sigils per weapon) That makes 7 Runes and 8 Sigils per account.

Call the Plaguedoctor! 😉

With the current elite spec reveals? None. One can only hope the story is any good. Time to bring back the good writers (Ree Soesbee, anyone?).

Yes. The original Guild Wars had a much cleaner cut profession and skill system. Completely redesigning a system doesn't necessarily lead to better results. I wish they had kept that and other aspects of the original game.

Guess I was wrong...

That's not a problem. Offensive spells, a staff for a weapon, a penalty to armor class, and you have a perfect adaption of the Monk for the Guardian class. 😉

I guess you've never played Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. That's the crown jewel of toxicity in gaming. While the OP made it sound quite dramatic, I have to agree that I am seeing toxicity levels growing in WvW. What people on both sides posted for goodbyes before we were delinked from our previous linking partner was an embarrassment to decency. I still keep reading toxic stuff daily with our new linking partner in team chat. As a longterm player, I must tell you that things used to be different indeed (expecially in the days of GW1) - I would say until GW2 went free-to-play. The toxic mentality from other games has been carried over into the GW franchise, and that's a real shame.

You keep forgetting that there are different people working on EoD than the team(s) that were working on HoT and PoF. It's all made to please the new anime generation of GW2 players rather than the mature longtime fans of the franchise.

It has a Samurai feel to me, except for the headwear. Still, I am disappointed already as I was hoping to see a return of the Monk in the form of a Shaolin elite spec (with armor penalties for the heavy-class Guardian).

Are you referring to the Dragon Response Mission or the open world map? Also, what's "unenjoyable" about it? More specifics, please. Or just use one of the already existing topics on DRMs.

Hmm, I was so sure the double-blades were representing the new Thief spec...
