Sort of round about, but at least it works.

Or they could create a couple of "borrow mount" sites, perhaps one per zone. You can grab a raptor in HoT, a skimmer in Maguuma, a springer for talk shows Shiverpeaks. You wouldn't be able to use the special action keys and you'd lose the mount upon interact/combat. It would give F2P, Core-only, and HoT-only a chance to try them out, without offering all the convenience that purchasing PoF would unlock. That’s a thought. However my suggestion also doesn’t have all the conveniences of purchasing PoF as the mount would only have 33% speed, not super speed, and wouldn’t have any of the other abilities. In addition, other than getting and riding around once in a zone, losing it on combat would be annoyance and make not worth using once you’ve tried it. It would be on ignore for those who are going more than a few feet and stopping to kill things, do Hearts, etc.

I’m leaning towards nonexpansion/f2p being able to buy from the gemstore both a basic mount (PvE only) and basic glider where the basic mount is only at 33% speed and the basic glider has only half the glide distance of a regular first level glider. For one thing this will allow ANet to sell glider and backpack/glider combos in the gem store to more people. They can also sell the basic 33% speed boost mount in the gemstore to these people. If they want to upgrade to a regular glider or mount they’ll need to buy the expansion.

The Norn bellows to the bartender “Your largest and strongest ale!”. The Norn around him cheer him on in encouragement. The Sylvari then turns to the bartender “I’ll have a water please.”A hush falls over the crowd as they look in stunned disbelief.

Naturally, asuran lightbulbs never need to be changed, so a security golem must sweep the area for the insurgents who vandalized said lightbulb. Next, we analyze the room with a spatial spectrometer to measure light reflection dynamics. In the event of sub-optimal parameters, an entirely new room may need to be constructed around the lightbulb, so as to fully take advantage of luminescent interplay. During construction, the security golem will be occupied with dispensing refreshments to the workers, so additional personnel will be called in…. etc. etc. etc. Nightarch.2943’What’s the fastest way to anger a norn?

Collecting Card Game (someone help pls). Basically magic the gathering but somehow thematically tied to guild wars 2. You take cards, play them against another person who has cards, and whoever knocks down the health of the card owner to zero first wins. @paShadoWn.5723 said: Hmmm. How about Belcher’s Bluff then. Buy the Belcher’s Bluff kit and invite people standing about waiting for a world boss to have a quick round. From the wiki“Players can purchase a Belcher's Bluff Kit from bartenders. The consumable will summon a table where other players can compete against you”

I was using that annoying little mount button until I found out you could keybind them separately. I now use the mount key for the raptor and a separate key for each of the other mounts. That seems to do well enough. If it could be made so we didn’t dismount, wait through the cooldown then remount that would be good enough for me.

What is a CCG, how does it work and why would we want it?

When there’s so many possibilities such as 2 seater mounts, both land and air, or underwater mounts for an expansion against the Sea Dragon? One should never say never or positive we’re not, when no one actually knows, as you might find your positive is the alternate definition of positive. I would be curious to see how they would implement a two-seater mount as I think that would be quite a nice feature that I do not think any other game has. Beyond being great for non-combat traversing for friends, combat would be quite interesting.One person (the 'driver') controls the mount, another person (the 'passenger') can fire off ranged attacks, or in the case of flying mounts, drop bombs. :)WoW has 2 seater mounts but my understanding is that the passenger has no capabilitites. How about the deluxe model for carrying whole raid groups. ^^

I hit that barrier in Bitterfrost when I tried to glide from that spot. It completely invalidates that Black Lion item. Two other strange barriers. One that blocks off map completion to a vista in Ashford, unless you can get a Mesmer to portal you, and a barrier to a cave that leads to a small jumping puzzle and a chest in Sparkfly Fen.

Here’s what they’ve said about skipping in the story instances

The events don't scale well or they're set up for larger numbers than my solo playing. I tried to do an escort. It was just me and the NPC's. The first wave of mobs that arrived were a combination of vets and regular mobs, about 4 of them. One vet alone or 4 regular mobs is doable but not a vet and his friends for one solo player. And then I tried to do another event where I freed prisoners. I managed to free 3 of them while killing 3 or 4 vets and several regular mobs but the remainder of prisoners were in in the back of the room with more vets and more regular mobs. Trying to get back there would have gotten me in agro range of at least 2 vets and several regular mobs. The maps are too empty to hope that another player will always show up to do events with you and they are too tough to easily do solo, and many of your players do play solo. They need to be scaled down. Fewer vets if nothing else.

Y'all did a great job on mounts and aesthetics. However1) a way to take your alts to the expansion without doing the story instance for each one or requiring a gemstore purchase is needed. The NPC at the ship in Lions Arch could have an option to send a char there once the first story instance has been done.2) those large empty maps feel empty of content. Maybe a gizmo that a player can have to show all currently active events on the map? The maps could use Harathi type chained events leading to an area boss. The events now seem disconnected from each other. There's no feeling of epic getting together to beat a story line boss.

If you went into the red zone and got kicked, well now you know that the red is a warning to keep out. The words telling you that you're leaving the instance and will be kicked are an additional warning.

When the players switched from guild wars to guild wars 2 they left everything behind . All their characters, their titles, the collected armors, weapons, minipets. Inventories full of platinum and items. All left behind because ANet decided they wanted to make a new guild wars and the players were willing to trust ANet and go to the new game. As a reward for years of faithful playing in guild wars, of support for the company over all those years and as a consolation prize for leaving their old accounts behind and switching to a new game they gave the vets of guild wars some mini pets, armor & weapon skins and some titles. They also promised at that time that these items would not be made available from guild wars 2. To ask ANet to make any of these items available to non gw1 players is to ask them to break a promise they made. . Be careful what you ask for. ANet might give it to you.

It doesn't log everyone out. I haven't been logged out since the new forum started up. I use an iPad with Safari if that makes a difference so maybe it depends on what you use to read the forum. Maybe state what you use in case it's a bug related to certain devices or browsers.

I was going to vote housing but I figured it would be hideously expensive to craft even minor stuff so I didn't vote as none of the choices appealed. . Be careful what you ask for. ANet might give it to you.

The guild leader can contact support and get the name/tag changed, as per this Reddit post. It has a dev response (the dev name is deleted for some unknown reason though). . Be careful what you ask for. ANet might give it to you.

Could always skip forward to the name part in character creation to check availability then when a name is chosen delete the char and start over. At that point the name will be saved to your account for 24 hours so you can take your time creating the right look.. Be careful what you ask for. ANet might give it to you.

Use the boost to level, get the rewards, do a key run with it (and do up to level 40 story and key if you want) then delete it and save the spot for a weekly key runner. Or use the char as a mule to store account bound items. Give it some bags and park at a chest for a daily log in. Go to WvW or sPvP lobby to merch and access bank as needed.

Hiding shoulders would be an improvement to outfits. The ability to use your armor helm would be another. Both of these features should be put into the game to make outfits better.
