After finishing the story pretty quickly last night, i'd say less than an hour, I honestly have no desire to log back in and play today. I really enjoyed bound by blood! It was the most I had played guild wars 2 in a while, it got me back into the game, I joined a guild thinking I was here for the long term with this new saga but now.. meh. The story was interesting, I am curious to see where it goes but as far as actual game play it just really didn't feel fun for me. It was all pretty easy, the meta chain was hard to follow but once you got to an event everything died in a few minutes. I was expecting the Boneskinner to be a bigger deal but there was very little build up or real fear factor, just another creepy monster! I really am disappointed, I hope episode 2 is better and that it comes soon.

I know Anet take a lot of inspiration from mythology and folk legend for Tyria but there arn't a lot of sea monsters with specific names beginning with S. Scylla is a possible choice or a variation/extension as she had multiple heads and our deep sea friend is shown to be hydra like in his concept art but, the she is the pesky bit. All Elder Dragons so far seem to have a very male presence, they don't reproduce in the traditional sense... apart from Mordremoth who may have birthed the pale trees from seeds but that's a whole other conversation. Then there are Selkies and Sirens, also female creatures known for their trickery and murder mainly through leading young men astray. So I don't think the obvious options are very likely.If we also look for clues in some other dragon names, it's possible his name will come from meaning or power.Mordremoth- It's quite close to Mordred from the Arthurian legends but I don't see much of a connection there, however in French Mordre can mean to bite orto encroach or to be tricked. Considering he is the dragon of the mind this fits quite nicely.Primordus- Obviously he is the first to awaken and the oldest so, primordial, first.Jormag- Might be taken from Jörmungandr which means huge monster or beast, although he was also a sea serpent so maybe that would have been better for Steve. I quite like the name Saegrund, in old english meaning the bottom of the sea.But who knows, the historian even says she thinks the letter is incorrect!

As a GW2 veteran with around 5000 hours I have to say no, WoW is still more popular, more widely known and generally just better developed. I still play WoW daily but GW2 ran out of regular daily content months ago, I only come back for the story.

I agree that the invisible shoes are totally ridiculous. I quite often wish my sylvari character could have bare feet, it would suit some armors so well but I wouldn't afford 2,500g in a lifetime nevermind farming the darn thing for myself. I wouldn't even care if everyone ran around naked, I just wish it was possible to customize your character however you see fit,

Yeah there is a skimmer skin that it looks dreadful on. I was trying to style all my mounts with my necro and go with a purple theme but the red makes it look really gaudy. I did manage to find some dyes I didn't mind too much but it would be nice if they fixed it.

I did this the day of the expansion and though it took me a couple tries I completed it, I found it pretty fun and different to just climbing a mountain or gliding to a ledge! It was frustrating though so I get why people hate it. My advice I guess would be to try and memorize the place of all the ingredients and then throw to where he is walking, not where he was stood when he asked. You can actually take your time a little bit as long as you don't throw the wrong ingredients.

My main issue with crafting is how generally pointless it feels. I need 500 armor smith to make ascended gear or just to get rid of my ascended materials but all the money I put into it is pointless. I don't get to use anything I craft and breaking it down again isn't really a refund of what I used.
