[Which new weapons do you want for your favorite classes in Expansion #5?]

Ranger rifle being one.

Uhhhhhhh... Thief longbow maybe? Or finally have sword OH for dual swords. That'd be fun.

Ele: Torch. I don't understand why they haven't gotten one yet since they harness literal fire.

[How are the Casual players doing with their Legendary PVE Armor?]

Probably after 40 hours of rift farming and some gold dumping later, its finally within reach. Its decent when you have the time, but moreso still obtainable if you just chip away at it bit by bit each day.

It still made me want to eat someone's shoe tho. My sanity is gone. :(

[Cheapest Ectoplasm acquisition?]

Yeah I use salvage kits myself and tend to get quite a few per rare salvage which seems to be standard practice. I suppose I could narrow my question down to what items might be most ideal for ectoplasm- if it isn't just rare unidentified or even exotic drops in which case welp, I guess I've been doing it right this whole time lol. 

 

PS: thank ye for the insight ofc, y'all. 

[Cheapest Ectoplasm acquisition?]

I feel like a goof but I cannot for the life of me navigate the fast farming site, and wondering what the efficient way to obtain ectos are atm since their prices are kinda high. It's almost 85g per stack on NA right now. O_o

[[NA][PvE] The Zephyr Knights [WIND] Looking for Veteran, Casual & New Gamers!]

Sent in-game mail but in the event the roster is full, putting my name down here. 

[LF small late night NA active guild.]

Primarily PVE; I enjoy fractals, raids and open world content with a splice of goofin in WvW on the side. Please send me in game mail (via my tag name) if your guild fits the bill. 

[Who else would love a Monster Hunter themed event?]

The snideness of the comments here really aren't necessary.

You could always go play Monster Hunter.  Why would Anet want to do something that's already be done well.

Because this might open up potential exposure to a wider audience who might've never heard of GW2 before, or even Monster Hunter as a whole. Anet is particularly bad at marketing the game, and this would help. It'd bring in new players from both, and we might actually get neat fights for both games as well, or at least collaboration items.

[Who else would love a Monster Hunter themed event?]

The semi realism of Monster Hunter would mesh well with GW2 and capcom love their crossovers but I think this one would beeeee.... a bit of a mess, honestly.The mechanics would have to be dialled down by at least 50% to fit GW2's hybrid tab action combat and anyone who would be fighting Rathalos for the first time ever in their lives, especially in GW2 would have issues with how dexterous he is (melee have a hard time as it is with things that move a lot). Also we can assume his bleeding, burning and poison ticks would hurt like hell. O_o Matriarch and Patriarch are bad enough as it is (which is essentially our version of Rathalos and Rathian).

Have a random video since people need/want an elaboration.

[How about an expansion with time travel?]

I get whiplash from warlords of draenor (WoW's expansion in 2014) any time someone mentions time travel. It's a concept that is rarely done right and is a risk to fall under scrutiny.

Fractals definitely explore the past and the what ifs but I don't think I'd want to see an expansion where it might impact the current timeline.

[Passion has gone my friends [Merged]]

I first had that malaise myself when I heard the news but at this point until its confirmed by Anet that its happening, I really am not gonna let it deter me because I play this game for me and my time spent plus the money spent in it hasn't felt wasted. Even if GW3 is a thing I wouldn't feel regret because it was worth it to me, and furthermore we don't know if it's an MMO or a stand alone singleplayer title so it might not even have an effect on 2. Kinda like how FF has 16 installations at this point and two (?) of them are MMOs but the rest of them are Singleplayers and I'm pretty sure 11 is still alive and kicking despite 14 being the bigger successor. I mean hell, GW1 is still thriving alongside 2, so GW3 (if its an MMO) might share that same synchronicity. Yeah it means no more content updates but there's still plenty to do, especially if a new player comes into it late, there's 10+ years of content to sink their teeth into and enjoy.

[Power creep ruined open world shared participation philosophy]

I think we are due to bring the power creep in line. Too often I see people in core maps making comments at the 80s nuking events, and not getting participation.
That said it is old content, but it shouldn't be nuked into irrelevancy like WoW has with its legacy content (its a ghost town in most maps in that game and its actually somewhat unnerving there isn't a soul to be seen til Dragonflight these days).

[What happend to the visual effects?]

but... but it's not fashion wars without the flashiness D:

Oh no. These fresh teams literally tossed the wow lore/narrative to the fires of Teldrasil along with the voice acting, map design, dialogue, iconic characters, ingame immersion, etc.

We don't talk about Danuser.

[Jhavi resistant to tall tonic]

Stretchy Phlunt has to be the funniest thing I've seen this week.
Edit: Could be her alignment to Raven since Raven is about trickery and all that. Or simply she doesn't have time for our shennanigans.

[Wave of Shadows (April Fool's Joke)]

I think if we had an underwater expansion, I'd have a stroke since I have thalassaphobia.

Flipside is heck yes to Largos and heck yes to a new race but that's the prank in on itself given GW2's track record so far. :|

Before i made characters as small as possible so it looks that they run faster (before we had mounts) 

its neat that height affects the mount run animation as well. Small mounts appear to be running faster than big ones who have longer strides. It's a nice touch and a clever gimmick.

[Serious Ping Issues]

I live in Australia and seem to be experiencing packet loss out of nowhere for the last couple days. I know factually its not my internet: everything else I run and play that's not GW2 has been running perfectly fine all day, and hubs has been playing WoW with no issues either. I logged off this morning and logged back on tonight hoping that it stabilised but just went to Amnytas and it shot to 1k+ out of nowhere before I became hard d/c'd and crashed to desktop.

Dunno if its just me but throwing this up for anyone who might be OCE and suffering the same problem since reset-ish.

 

[Thoughts about GW3 [Merged]]

Once more we are blasting the non existent horse into an even bigger crater than last time.

[Obby Armor variant speculations!]

I think if I have to do any more rift farming with the variants, I'm going to eat someone's shoe due to the loss of what's left of my sanity. 

 

[Obsidian Armor Skin Feedback]

Clipping has always been a problem in GW2 but yikes yeah that's a big oversight. I hope they fix some of the hairs to rig better with the skins so it isn't that blatant.

I dunno tho, Charr have had it bad for a long while with the horns and tails curse so in before "welcome to my world" sentiment I guess?

[Elf in key art gallery shared by anet]

OG sylvari were elves with leaf hair but they updated them since then.

Which thank the Pale Tree we got what we did instead.

[Whats next..!? more of the same !?]

Lack of funding is great and oh don't we love it. /sarcasm meter go up.

[Hairstyles?]

I'm down for more hairstyles, especially Sylvari tbh.

[Mastery Points are a scourge in GW2]

Masteries are fine as long as they continue to have meaning. We have some masteries that didn't need to exist in the game for how pointless they are; and have little use outside of the content they were designed for.

Accessibility is a non-issue. The issue is we're getting to a point its starting to feel bloated.

["Epic Tease" = new race?]

OP you're smokin something and clearly bait posting.

It's a Charr.
