You change nothing? Please cease from giving misinformed opinions 😘

I don't have to believe you. I was there when raids were first released. I have like 6-7 thousands of hours in raids alone. Saying all the 'parties' had an elitist leader is just lying. I have no idea who wronged you, but that is just not how things were. Having commander tag gives you all the right to kick whoever you deem unworthy. It's commander's squad and his LFG. If someone is underperforming, he's going to get kicked if that's what commander decides. I have zero obligation to suffer through a raid with anyone playing badly. It also doesn't prevent anyone from completing any type of content. Play with people you prefer.

What's the percentage of entire raid population that did that? Is it small? Did this tiny portion of raiders drove everybody away from raids? Did they take their ability to create their own LFGs away? What do you expect them to do? "Here, you have to let everybody in, into your own LFG that you created and you command"? They don't have to do anything. They've only stated that it's a bridge to existing raid content. No reason to believe they are going to create new raids. If they really wanted to actually make strikes a bridge to raids, we would have all of them in Aerodrome - where all the raiders are. Why didn't they do that? Because they do not want strike and raid community to clash.

Raids are dead. Let's move on. Raids were discontinued for a reason. With strikes, Anet has more leeway to put less effort into single strike than to create a full raid wing. Strikes don't have stigma following their name, pushing away the 'less hardcore' crowd. Strike already are expanded on story bosses, again - less work to be done. They don't have to add any flavor to the encounters, like post-kill dialogues with npcs or something to interact with. Raids died because target audience has changed. All the drama that came from DE meta is a perfect example. GW2 players are simply too spoiled to put enough effort into raiding. Anywhere outside this community, anyone you ask - GW2 is perceived as a game for casuals. Following release of DRMs everything lost quality. With EoD we took it a step further, all the features are simply lackluster. No reason to believe that they will ever again release new raid wings.

I'm fairly certain the "fly out of instance" bug is still there and you can lose all your progress too 😅

Can we not have mechanist's bot get 1-2 shotted by pretty much every aoe in Junkyard CM? 😊

Remember when some people thought we gonna get alliances with EoD? Good times.

This is satire right?.... right?

You do not design encounters with so much visual clutter https://imgur.com/a/igsWnCr Then we have 8-10 min fight with a jogging in-between phases that add nothing to the encounter, very nice for story and character-building - useless and annoying for strike CMs. And we have the bugs. Hallucinations killing pets, people not getting achievements, just wonderful.

You are more likely to get banned for people misreporting you for something unrelated cause you trashtalked target audience in the map chat during some meta 😅

It's not QoL, It's bug fixing.

HoT: Raids PoF: Mounts EoD: Disappointment

I know english is not first language for some people... but you could at least spend 5 minutes working on your grammar, cause I have no idea what you're saying 😔

They could have invented new types of AOEs that would improve visibility and reduce particle clutter. You can barely see red aoes under her https://imgur.com/a/Kj9DG8R Difficulty wise, it's ok. Nowhere near a "challenge" once you figure out that single mechanic. And don't even start me on the rewards cause it's not funny anymore, it's just pathetic.

She is supposed to get stunned, but it's a coin flip if the mechanics are working properly 🙂

You do not receive the letter even after quitting and restarting the episode.

Don't try to convince Obtena of anything raid-related. Seething hatred towards raids is a given. Just love them for who they are ❤

Expecting from people who join your squad the ability to read your strike lfg is now elitist? No wonder why forum people hate raid crowd...

I guess pressing spacebar and bringing some stab is legendary worthy now. We already have 1 legendary accessory by doing some story and cutting trees, why not go further? What comes next though? Gliding requirement? Barely anyone is capable of such hardcore deeds 😨

Horrendously long load times are still not fixed. https://i.imgur.com/cQoEXHL.png And when it's done I can't even do anything cause my character did not load...

True! We have to listen more to people who prefer only ever pressing not more than 2 buttons at any given content! Who cares they lack perspective and are unable to compare content difficulty-wise from other types of games and MMOs out there. We should embrace ANet putting less and less effort into releasing 10man content because they add too much of it! Let those toxic elitists be damned! 🤬

It raises the damage output by the players closer to the bottom and at the same time takes away from everyone that is putting effort into dealing best possible damage. What type of revealed truths do "top" players possess that prevents anyone from obtaining?

As someone said recently, if you feel relieved after achieving/reaching a goal in GW2 instead of joy and happiness - the game is designed in a way to make you spend more and more time in the game but not to keep you enjoying it. Getting achievements done or finally reaching max mastery level is like "yeah finally done". For me personally, dragonfall and LS4 had a better ending story and content-wise than this xpack. Also I'm stealing this.
