They could always make on OW leg ring to collect. Mind you, I'm not say they should, but that could serve as a future "carrot".

Oh...adding on: I love the wolf skins. They were a nice surprise to the game. I would love to see Warclaw sped up to raptor/jackal speed in PvE so we could see more of those skins shown off in open world. (probably outside the scope of this thread) And the various theme groups finished out would be nice (Aurene, geode, darkmist, etc.). I really like the Kintsugi and Scaled Hellcat/wing skins and would love to complete those "sets". As some have said, bears and dolyaks would be great. I really like the various unique animals skins like the Auroch and Primal Spirit , etc.

My daughter loves the axolotl skyscale, and it made me wonder why there isn't a raptor one as well. I was very happy to see new Skimmer skins finally.

Those are good improvements. Thanks for the info. I wondered what would happen on previous seasons if I ended up picking the same one twice.

I don't understand the map completion change. I'd love to know if this is a bug or the new normal. Otherwise, so far so good. It all looks really enjoyable.

I would have loved to see some sort of armor plating down the tail. Very few pieces alter the tail appearance and this seemed like it would have been a good opportunity for that. Either way, I'm happy feedback was taken and acted upon.

Haha. I agree, but man your delivery is a downer.

Mind you, you'll feel how you feel. But (for my part) that wasn't my point. You still get rewards. Just not bonus rewards. But in the end, it's not like those bonus rewards make or break fun (again, imo). They're just that. A slight bonus. There are tons of ways to rush your brother's progress. Jump on a mesmer or a turtle mount and you can get your brother to a lot of spots he would otherwise need to wait on. If you want ascended gear, just throw some of your gold at his account. It doesn't cost overly much to max out a crafting profession. And then each ascended piece is about 30-35g. Speaking for me, the rewards aren't the fun of playing with family. In the end, it's a game. Explore the world. Follow along. He's still seeing those bosses. He's still getting rewards. The maps are still beautiful. Edit: oh, and to add: if you are on NA and need help at any point, just reach out if you see me on.

You get a choice of 4, but it's still possible to not want any of the choices. In that case, it's still worth picking up for the Gift of Magic or Gift of Might, to use in crafting whatever other legendary you prefer (imo). Just pick the starter kit up later in that case, after whatever you think is a higher priority.

While that does sound frustrating (I can sympathize, I play with my family members when they feel like it), a change in perspective may help. As opposed to wanting him to do things at your speed, slow down to his. If he can't get across a ravine or something for example (PoF) take the longer route and work with him to get those points he needs for longjump (as an example I played through). Realize that your mastery level isn't the default. There are ways around all or most of this obviously, but there is something to be said for re-experiencing the game through a slower play-through. The extra loot from those chests doesn't really count for much. And knowing what you know, you can help him make better decisions on where to spend his initial mastery points to improve his play-through experience.

I don't actually understand the misunderstanding here. There is a difference between threads on OW legendary armor and threads on "it doesn't have to look good, we want OW Legendary" threads. This whole thing tho seems non-productive at this point and certainly doesn't contribute in any meaningful way to the thread. So, I'm sorry for my part of this tangent.

Ha. There were lots and lots of threads on OW legendary armor. There were not (to my recollection) repeated threads on "I don't care what OW legendary armor will look like". That was my only sticking point in your response above.

I was involved in more than a few over the last couple of years as well. I won't check because there are literally dozens or more threads that went on for hundreds of pages (adding them together). I'm on here for general discussion and my own entertainment. Not for doing hours of search work. And I don't actually think you are being disingenuous. I thought part of this statement (just the first half): was never really a thread point. I completely agree the second half was. That's what this was my initial response: It was in fact a genuine question.

That's actually fair. I was thinking about base appearance and not whether or not it would have particles or animations. Still, I think that was more of a minor side point here and there and never the actual points of the threads. They were always whether or not OW leg armor even had a reason to exist. And if the thread went further it was "what sorts of OW activities should go into it". Like I said, I'm going from memory and have no desire to do a deep dive/search into the last several years of threads on the topic.

100%. That's entirely what I was referring to. Oh I don't plan on doing a search. I think the "it doesn't have to look good, we want OW Legendary" idea was made up to make a disingenuous point for this thread. Time length and activities and costs were discussed over and over again. Appearance really never came up. Again, going from memory.
