What mount does Tequatl drop, again?

This event is failed and should have been a new raid instead of an open world meta.. Honestly, The focus going into strikes over Raids clearly has Anet fairly disconcerted.. Meta events are supposed to be casual, or at least semi-casual events and capable of being completed more often than failed.. As to the "edit": You stated this change takes away from your accomplishment.. That's an elitist mentality.. Whether you like this fact or not, is of no consequence.. Trying to cite taking people with disabilities thru is actually fairly shameful of you. Anet has pretty much admitted the event is overtuned. They are trying to rectify this.. Don't confuse your luck with skill. That being said, this meta has 0 replay value to it.. Once you get your egg, there's no reason at all to replay this unless you just enjoy the meta for whatever reason. The achievement associated with clearing it before finishing story was ok, but locking the biggest thing you advertised and baited players to buy the xpack with, AND telling them it's going to be comparable to getting the Roller Beetle in difficulty pretty much makes me think that either Anet was worried nobody would care enough to play their content so they needed to force it some way (at best) and at worst, some form of false advertisement where they said it would be fairly easy, then put it behind something like this to force players to play (not necessarily enjoy) the content they made. I don't sit around with rose colored glasses, praising any garbage that master Anet puts out.. HoT and PoF, Anet had put out MUCH better content than this.. They didn't lock any major advertisement stuff behind overtuned metas.. My calling this crap out isn't an act of malice or defiance against Anet.. It's my way of holding them to the higher standards I've seen before, but they seem to have lost sight of with this... thing.. they have pushed at us, and prayed we would just go with and sing praises blindly (like many are just happy to do).. those people do NO good for the company. They NEED to be challenged to do their very best, otherwise they will not produce the same great quality we saw in HoT and PoF

Honestly, I feel Tiered rewards would work, esp an infusion possible on top tier.. HoT was the Golden Age of Metas.. Your participation matters, tiered rewards real time, and the rewards didn't suck (but also wern't the things that where advertized the ENTIRE expansion you'd get, like glider and whatnot). The fear Anet has presently of this Meta falling into disuse seems very real atm.. I haven't seen Anet do so much to try and force you to do the story and final meta-raid like this expansion.. They put WAAAAY too much focus on this non-casual content and the haphazard and rushed story, and not enough focus on the rest of the content.. It's making me doubt capabilities on further Xpacks atm, so hopefully the new LW stuff comming up will fix that.

So.. Right now the Map Currency is "Writs of Dragon's End".. Will these Writs of the Jade Sea be dropped during the meta? or are we changing the Dragon's End currency to Jade Sea?

So then they just need to fix the rainbowing issue? everything I read on the issue was showing it was a Win 7 problem speciffically with no ability to fix due to lack of support. Least there's a shot at it here hehe. Pretty big issue tho, tbh.

This is, beyond a doubt, the worst idea Anet has ever not come up with themselves.. This is CLEARLY A Final Fantasy ripoff of Squall form FF8 and the Gunblade class from FF14.. Your Limit.. I mean Focus.. builds slowly in combat, until ultimately you stand still and scream while loading your gunblade.. I mean gunsaber.. and select one of your 3 limit breaks to perform.. The only thing you are missing is an emote to twirl the sword over your head after you kill something and play that little tune.. Embarrassing attempt at poaching players from FF's attention aside.. The spec is such that, in PvE at least, one can be good at this even by pure accident. It is a skill-less spec. Also, Warriors using magical projectiles while a dedicated magic class (elementalist) still hasn't figured out what a long range weapon is for? Not stellar.. The only good I have taken from this spec is it FINALLY made Greatsword into something playable for me on Warrior.. If I could make regular greatsword behave like this one does (even barring the area blast effect), I would probally love warrior more in general tbh. I'm gonna stick with Spellbreaker for the foreseeable future.. Please find some originality for warrior going forward.. When I saw Warrior was getting Pistol as a weapon for it's Elite Spec, I was excited and curious to see how it would be implemented, only to find it was barely a side thought on the spec's construction (I suppose you just ran out of things to do and since you couldn't make Greatsword an elite spec weapon, you had to waste a slot somehow). I was hoping for something of a mid range gunfighter, and what I got was a Final Fantasy ripoff..

Ok, So far Vindicator is my FAVORITE of the new Elite Specs coming up. It's so dynamic on the ability, and isn't pigeon holed into any one thing like the other specs feel to me. Granted, the new jump mechanic takes some getting used to, but honestly I love the sheer aggression provided in the spec. Even use of the Invoke Legend ability for this spec is incredibly useful to keep yourself on par, but not imperative, as you can maintain a steady assault even when flipping the abilities.

So far? Took me a minute to get used to Catalyst, but it's actually made Elementalist a playable class for me finally! Yes, it really shines most when you dance thru the elements, but I have mine working just fine in Fire pretty exclusively. I benefit from the other elements as I need them, but I don't like having to play a keyboard just to be effective and not die constantly. This now lets me play the way I want to play, and have more options to increase from there. My favorite part is that 2 of the elements are not melee exclusive, which allows me better ranged functionality with a class I've always felt was idiotic to pigeon hole into melee to begin with. Hopefully in future expansions or content releases, we can see ele getting more access to ranged weapons such as magic pistols/rifles or magic arrows with bows (elemental archer would be KILLER!!) I am currently geared out in Full Maurauder gear with Ogre runes, and the only spec change I've made is to change from water to fire spec to maximize burn potential and power. The added dog pet spawn makes my life much easier and increases output of damage along with the Ogre power increases as well. This is deffinatly one of my favorite elite specs released so far!

Not really.. Direct x11 is not apparently supported on Win 7. If the game no longer conforms to my ability to continue playing, why would I bother to continue paying for it? The crashing over the camera turning bug with Dx11 is something that can be fixed, but my wife's comp runs 7 and she doesn't wanna upgrade her comp's OS. Her GPU is still good and CPU as well. Handles GW2 wonderfully. If there's not an option for me to play with my wife anymore over a choice they can easily accommodate, why would I want to continue giving them my money when I can just as easily take it literally over to any other game out there? many of which her system will have NO trouble running at all.

Turned on DX11, restarted GW2, all my text in-game turned into a freaking rainbow box. I hope they keep the current DirectX capabilities when they push 11 to full live too, or this may be the last dollar I spend on this game for the forseeable future
