You also get the Springer with JW. That makes it pretty trivial to get.

They drop the recipe for these Sigils so I guess they do.

Yeah it's a super super low chance, a real filler mastery.

I think it's unlikely too, but I do have some hope that they plan to add more to Janthir Syntri in the November release as they won't have a new map then. Hopefully they expand on and polish the content here but I really hope this isn't a sign of the quality we can expect from maps three and four. Janthir Syntri does feel very unpolished compared to other maps. It's especially noticeable after coming from Lowland Shore. A pity really.

According to the wiki at least Janthir Wilds should give an account gliding, the raptor, the springer and the warclaw. I would suggest your friend contact support about this. Apart from that maybe leveling an alt to 10 might unlock it for him? ( @Gop.8713In 2022 they said that buying any expansion would unlock the raptor so JW should unlock it. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Game_updates/2022-08-02#New_Player_Experience_Improvements )

These tokens only work for characters that have already completed the heart, right? I don't get an option to even view the inventory on alts I'm running through map completion.

Well, if that's the case then the technology works perfectly!

Some of the hearts are pretty tedious, the western and south eastern ones in Janthir especially. There are not enough events in those areas and little or no decent non-event options (the wiki says that killing enemies gives half a percent progress, for example, it sure feels like it). I'm not sure what they think they gain by making them so slow.

I think it's funny that my Synergetics Hoverbike Skimmer is idling there, doing little turns all on its own. I mean, that has to be draining the battery, right?

Allowing small guilds to use a homestead instead of a guild hall would kinda allow this.

I never said anything about whether it was unreasonable or not I simply meant that a single convergence is a lot quicker than 5 fractals. It's not rocket science: the total time for one convergence is less than the total time taken to do 5 fractals. However let's compare that with some of the other weekly tasks: Kill a single world boss, Shatterer, for example, with the option of doing a bunch of other events if that's preferable. Can be completed in less than 15 minutes Kill a single Legendary creature, this can often be combined with a world boss kill. Single jumping puzzle, Coddlers Cove, easy, quick. Identify or salvage some gear. Practically no time. These just happen of you're playing the game.

Wow, I saw that task this morning and thought "good change, I'd rather do a convergence than a fractal right now" but to have to do 5 fractals? Wow! Seems to me that people in ArenaNet really don't understand the time commitment of a Fractal vs a Convergence.

I assume that we'll need a bunch of these (or at least a bunch of Ursus Oblige) to craft the Legendary Spear and Backpack.

He even sounds like Braham (same voice actor maybe?) I do like him, the Commanderfinder apparently really likes him, but I'm hoping he grows up real quick. And if you do, leave your spear with your dad first.

It is very hard to imagine that they could make it more fun while keeping the underwater feel, yes. I'm sure they've discussed it but can't think of a way of fixing it either. Personally, I can't see anything about underwater that would add to an encounter or expansion rather than detract from it.
