Its one of my favorite aspects of GW2 the weaving of achievements between zones every zone has some relevance for the most part. Keeps old content relevant to a degree.

soooo the new jade bot skin you don't even have to pay for it Press H > select jade bot > select locked skin and observe its the same thing as the current jade bot you don't see ever

Not sure why they don't just turn the jade bot into a mini that follows you. It just seems like a wasted mastery

Looks at Path of Fire at every single mastery mount skin, you sure?

Really good question by the OP. I know I have not returned to DE meta since I cleared it twice in week 1 and 2. I just do not have the time to form a raid group in an open world environment to such a high degree of cookie cutter builds. Open world content is suppose to be fun challenging, not frustrating and community destructive. I have already accepted that DE meta will turn into a vabbi meta of sorts and be run by a dedicated group once a week or so in the future. Designers have a vision but that vision is not what the majority consider fun in open world, its fine I have come to peace with that. Its just a shame really as the fight is quite good and interesting.

Griffon + Skyscale makes NEW kaining amazing. I can get from one map the other using griffon in less that 15 seconds I can use skyscale to get high to use griffon

I've cleared it twice once during launch week and the other last week. The second time was only because I was fishing and noticed that they were going to clear it was like wow. Still I have only attempted to clear it once and that was forming 50 man raid group besides that have not even attempted to do it again. It's just not worth the time and effort for an open world meta. Arenanet is pulling a big blizzard by dictating what the community wants, where their core which is more casual than hardcore is saying otherwise. How is WoW doing again? Oh right...

Skip Unless you want new areas to run around.

Wrong, gamers are the worst and will always fine something to whine, complain about. It would be just as many complaints

They also literally gave them all away for free this past year starting in June, all you had to do was log in. Each season is like an expansion itself combined though 6 maps for most. 1200 gems is like 15 bucks not a whole lot of money for the amount of content you're getting.

Sooooooo, there is a strike component after as well

After tagging up and organizing 8+ runs and having the meta only fail each time got really frustrated so decided to turn a meta raid into a raid group. Ended up forming 50 people 5 per group raid builds so alacrity, quickness, pdps, cdps per group in another map not to have Dragon's End instantly fill up. Each person had to ping their gear and build in chat, and then were assigned a group. This took about a hour and a half Next the harder part waiting for a fresh instance to get in and get all 50 people in. This actually ended up being a bit easier than expected took about 45 minutes while those who were in were prepping the map areas to High and getting the 10% Buff All said and done we cleared the meta with 5 minutes and something seconds left NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO DO THIS FOR AN OPEN WORLD META RUN until its tuned will not be going back

Was looking at these stats +133 Vitality +133 Condition Damage +71 Concentration +71 Expertise For Staff Alacrity Mirage they seem pretty decent? Or is Viper's still preferred Suppose I should test lol

It really does seem like it. Like HoT was not perfect but it added a new system PoF added more and learned from what people disliked about HoT IceBrood added even more on top EoD was like lets add a new system inside of a working system but that system really does not matter as you still need to unlock it and also gear it out separately per character ALSO hope your crafting is at 400 (mine is, not the point) We added fishing! Cool! Helping out a friend, feel like playing an alt want to fish? too bad

WHY!!!!!!! Who designed these features!!! >< Fishing + Jade Bot both have accessories attached to them that are not shared across characters!!! I am soo confused on why this is a thing, its makes these masteries sooo frustrating. Switch character.... nope can't use those masteries you're missing components. HoT, PoF, Icebrood Saga doesn't matter unlock masteries all characters can use them, makes hoping around various classes amazing. These EoD masteries are just frustrating and unfun because of this limitation.

Not to mention these pieces are considered armor? or something. ITS SUPER NOT ALT FRIENDLY I jumped on another character and could not even use the thing. I was like WHAT? This game respect to my time and different playstyles has been the selling point and this mastery literally takes that away

Mind sharing where?

Yes, but almost all Archetype for classes in gaming culture derive from Tolkien, which is the point that was being made. DnD was heavily inspired by Tolkien and took a lot from it. Which in return was then applied into MUDS which in return was applied into games such as Ultima and Everquest which again was then taken and applied into WoW and GW.

A Ranger does not need to be Ranged, that is not at all what Ranger means. Words such as Sniper, Marksman, Rifleman, Bowman are ranged. This ^ It's taken even further going back to Tolkien, Aragorn was a Ranger of the North, the Rangers helped to guard the Shire, Bree, and other areas around Eriador. Aragorn and the other Rangers used a bunch of different assortment of weaponry.

The open world is GW2 best part. Each map for the most part has a reason to play it for some achievement, resources of something. It loops around to where you need to get something from it funneling players in, its amazing design. It makes the world feel alive. Games like ff14 are fun, but I always wonder why do they even bother with their open areas? I like after a few weeks they're dead and everyone sits in towns and spams dungeons and raids in small instances At least GW2 offers Fractals, Strikes, Raids, and puts a lot of focus on open world where the majority of the players will be and it is such a great experience.

I think its a good idea, the point of a bundle is to save money, but some might not want the outfit and that could be losing a sale as well. Any money not taken is money lost. I think being able to buy weapon skin alone is a reasonable request. Based off current prices of weapon skins 700 gems per weapon Bundled all 16 weapon skins, 8000 gems (would make it discounted 500 gems per weapon)

Toymaker Ultra lol

agree so much with OP

I agree, dual daggers might make a lot more sense. Played a fair bit in the beta. In its current state the virtuoso just does not feel right to play, there is no flow. I have more fun with the new spec when I replaced the daggers and ran around with double greatsword lol. I see no reason to use the dagger in its current state over even playing mirage which in most builds uses axe/pistol
