Sylvari.2953

⭐ Dear ArenaNet, I've been casually playing this game since beta and after my disappointment in SotO, I was ready to give up on GW2 and quit for good. However, I got the expansion newsletter today and I instantly prepurchased it when I saw the magic words: player housing. 🛖 I've been asking for this since forever and I don't know the details yet but any kind of housing is appreciated! I play 3 other games because of housing, I'm totally obsessed, lol. Thank you so much! 😊 HYPE! ⭐

Unfortunately, I like Guardian (Dragonhunter) the most gameplay-wise BUT I don't like Heavy armor aesthetics at all. 😞 Most of the time I just wear "lighter" Outfits or cash shop armor pieces anyone can wear. My Necro looks gorgeous in Light armor but I don't play her often. I wish we could mix and match Light/Medium/Heavy skins just like in ESO! Not gear, only wardrobe skins.

I changed to LB/GS Marauder-Berserker DH when they started messing with FB and I love it so much! Almost everything I used to dislike about DH was "fixed", like the painfully long cooldown on LB #5, meh traits (they are slowly getting better!), and losing my extra movement speed when Wings of Resolve is on cooldown (they just changed the Soaring Devastation trait this week)! 😁 I'm just a casual open world player but my DH is my most versatile and fun character. Thank you, Anet! 👍 Now my only wish is either rework LB skill #3 or make it less clunky to use.

LET US CONTROL IDLE ANIMATIONS: + Add more idle animations, bring back old Human female ones. + Let us choose which animations we want to see and how often. + Option to completely turn off idle animations. This would help build better character themes. Like, I don't want my dark and serious Sylvari Reaper to happily swing her arms! Please, Anet. 😭

And what if I don't use Runes? What if I prefer Orbs and Crests? 🤨

I bought the cheapest one for the combat & reward changes alone. They look like a step in the right direction but we'll see.

I've said this before but I'll say it again. It doesn't matter how much Anet want to sell me stuff, I will NOT buy anything I don't need RIGHT NOW. FOMO does not work on me AT ALL. So many times I get a sudden urge to buy a Gem Store item but it's not available. I wait and wait and waaait until I lose interest in the item... So when it comes back x months later, I just don't want it anymore! And this is why I rarely buy things in this game. I prefer FFXIV's cash shop, everything is available all the time and if I get that sudden urge to buy an item, I just open my wallet and buy it. I spend A LOT more money on XIV because of this (besides the monthly sub). 🤷‍♀️

HoT by far! Best story (Sylvari lore for the win), best elite specs, best massively multiplayer experience (meta events that are still relevant, challenging hero points, etc).

I chose Canach without hesitation, no regrets. 🤩 Best salad boi.

Yeah, I miss the days when Istan was rewarding (Palawadan + Great Hall). The events were short and started at certain times so I could work or rest my eyes between them. Of course it got nerfed into the ground. 😞 I'm not fond of the long, tedious metas that start at random times because I can't plan around them (and finding good meta maps for them is annoying).

HoT by far. I used to enjoy condi Firebrand before the changes but I recently rerolled as a power Dragonhunter thanks to the buffs and I'm having a blast! 😄 I mained Reaper for a long time, though. It has a special place in my heart. I also have a thing for condi Berserker. Daredevil and Scrapper are fun too!

Cool! I only play Sylvari. My username checks out.

Yeah, like I said in an other thread, metas peaked in HoT and we've been on a downhill. And then there are metas like Dragonfall and Drizzlewood. They are profitable but I hate how chaotic/tedious they are. Teleport here, rush there, now go back, etc... Bleh! Mechanic-wise, I like Dragon's Stand the most, too bad it's not that profitable compared to the chaotic metas.

EoD is meh. Story - 5/10, some good moments but too many boring parts and tedious tasks. Map design - 5/10, Cantha's beauty was ruined by the jade tech stuff. Map exploration - 5/10, Kaineng and Echovald are ridiculously annoying. Meta events - 3/10, metas peaked in HoT, we've been on a downhill. Elite specs - 4/10, none of them made me switch mains. Fashion - 2/10, at this point only Gem Store items look good. Masteries - 3/10, a couple of useful things but most of them can be ignored. Turtle - 1/10, totally useless besides some metas. Jade Bot - 3/10, good idea, bad execution. Skiff - 1/10, my Skimmer does it better. Fishing - 1/10, I don't care but I'm glad fishing fans are happy! So can we have player housing now? 🥺
