[What if elite specs were quest/achievement based rather than hero points?]

I like to have quest that tell more about Elite specs, but it should never lock the Elite until you do it. See how people reacted when Anet want players to run EoD story on each class for ascended weapon collection?

If you want, it should be the opposite, quest step unlocked depend on how many hero points you spent on that Elite, like personal story.

Just dont prevent people from unlocking that Elite until they do the quest

im not against hardcore collection achievements but i have to agree that THIS MANY collections for just one mount its ridiculous and sadistic, ppl defending this s just that they have already done it or just dk what they are talking about, also not everyone has the time to play 4 hours min and to spect ppl to be doing the same quest for a year or so just to get the mount, talking about buying the "full game" but not really.... (gonna get bombarded but just a fact)

Single player games long before mmo have you grind to get stuffs or progress a difficult level even if people paid "full game". Some how GW2 is the worst offender, re-think about your flawed logic first before calling it a fact

"they have already done it" We've done it before the timegate reduction and "Return to" 250 map currency, we know it's much more tolerable now. I find the Skyscale's utility worth the grind but you can just stick to raptor and springer, worked well for my second account.

I will repeat that GW2 respect your time, it doesnt leave you behind if you quit, it certainly doesnt make you re-grind to make mount run faster or slightly increase equipment quality. I will say the only thing stopping you is you yourself.

Hate is a bit strong for me but the turtle mount brings essentially nothing to the table and can detract from the experience. Another example of the weakness of EoD as a whole.

It does good cc and damage to gate in Drizzlewood, here hoping future living episodes  have meta require more "sieging"

[Elves, flying Rainbow Kitties, Top Gun sunnies ... yet no Horse mount skin?!]

People are going crazy over a horse, i find argument over a swimsuit more believable than this

Can Anet delete that abomination unicorn skin until they found the tech to make a normal horse?  No wait! Just delete that insult to arts right away, i dont care about real horse.

[Pure OW PvE idea for legendary armor]

Always irk me that these post don't consider raid as player versus environment, it is just as part of PvE as any contents that involve fighting only npcs with other players. "Pure PvE" post like this are cringe.

I like Aurene’s Persuasion sound. It surprised me first time I heard it. So now all I can do on my mechanist is run around in open world spamming my skills. Even if no mob is there. It’ll probably take a few days before I get tired of doing that 👀 Poor ambient creatures never knew what hit them. yes I should probably go outside and touch some grass now and listen to birds chirping 

Since you are running around spreading Aurene’s Persuasion. When can we start Aurene's Cult that rival Human Gods?

[What are we losing by keeping the game PEGI 13+?]

Have you seen swearing attempts in gw2 lately?

An Asura say "Godd**n" which is weird for Asura culture

Bangar's "MotherF*****" and my favorite for wrong reason Rytlock's "ClusterF***"

I would throw in Almora "Kiss my A**" instead of Tail but i think it would make that serious moment unintentionally hilarious

Yea, i think they should limit themself to be more creative when tackling adult theme, "Creative limitation" they say

 

[Infusions should also be purchased with currencies instead of only being a rare drop]

Pfft, no matter what Anet do, there are gonna be complaints:

-Guaranteed infusion = more eyesore shiny flashy players = gw2 become a health hazard (I've given up on "reduce player effects" option, its a lost technology to Anet apparently)

-Ridiculous currency amount because infusions are rare and expensive = people whine about having to grind in an MMO

[Friendly reminder that MMOs need criticism]

When people's criticism is about technical stuffs outside of the game like "can't link gw2 with steam" I'm not going to take it seriously, that doesn't help anybody not even that person, it doesn't tell new players how the game really work.

[Does EoD feel more like a Living Story or Expansion to you all?]

Expansion, people say its features  are weaker than previous expacs but i prefer they exist together for different gameplay than trying to one up each other

I'm hoping future LWS will expand the skiff mastery, maybe let us install a cannon or glide on ley line energy

[I realized one of the biggest problems with EoD final meta]

3 hours ago, Gorem.8104 said:

You understand that this post pretty much agree's with everyone saying the DE meta was designed badly, correct? 
No one is doing the meta anymore, so of course it will succeed more often, all the casuals have been weeded out, cause when they do show up, chat turns toxic at the sheer hate thrown towards them. 

Why would normal average players want to do content that causes both toxicity and them wasting their time over 2 hours?  Hence most will see an increase in completion rates. The only people doing it are the people who want to do content that is less rewarding then other parts of the game and are elitist. 

No matter what people say at this point, eventually the DE meta will be nerfed. Just wait for Steam 🙂

The only thing i understand about this DE being "badly" designed is the pre-pre event and low map cap

Other than that, the fight ain't hard and most players that joined seem casual to me, tag ask for role on lfg but not gear/build check or killproof just the required boon after that anybody can join, if you think 50 peoples doing this per day are toxic elitist, then wow gw2 sure have larger elitist playerbase than we were led to believe, i never did raid or CM but by your logic im the elite too

And it has already been nerfed, more people do it now for gold 🙃

[I realized one of the biggest problems with EoD final meta]

Saying a content like raid, imply everyone need to be in their A game with gear check and build

well when a group need quickness, i pop in Harbinger with Dire gear  i bought from TP, it get the job done

And like Vayne said, less skilled player get carried in 50 man squad, you can also rez downed, use wp while other are in combat which you cannot in real raid, 50 people don't need to type /gg to reset the fight

it just an open world meta that have been nerfed to be more doable

[50 gold for bank service in Eye of the North]

Nostalgia (Xunlai chest), gold sink, achievement point

I'll be frank and say that 50g isn't hard to get but don't buy it if you feel not worth it and just stick with the crafting table bank

[AR needs to removed or reworked]

One of the ways in which this game can't make up its mind about whether it wants to be uniquely horizontal progression (as different from vertical MMOs), or "vertical progression but I put the hat on backwards and tried wearing sunglasses, I am different now." I am realizing it has a number of such areas.

Which part is vertical beside fractal?

[AR needs to removed or reworked]

I think AR can be permanent character-based upgrade, beat having to switch AR infusion around characters then found out you missed 1

Though that mean people will need grind for AR again for each character and ascended will be less special.

 

[What’re we losing with no sub?]

I'm convinced this entire post is just OP provoking for reactions and let people fight each other

[Just put the Skyscale in the shop [Merged]]

This got merged, explain why it suddenly pop up from the graveyard again3

I hope Anet will never give in when complaints about skyscale pop up again, mmo need long term goal grind (how they are implemented is a different topic) and if Anet change just because someone doesnt want to put in time and effort, it will hurt the game in the long run

[Suggestion: Other Characters as NPCs]

Funny how i just learned about Mercenary hero yesterday, now im seeing this post

Sound cool but I hope no one ask for adding them so they can solo, i don't care what your excuses are, gw2 is an entirely different game from gw1

Even then though, is it really right that old areas are so desolate and quiet that players are told "wait for the daily rotation?" Do people even care that there's a daily there when the rewards for doing them are awful? 

People do daily mainly for map currency and unbound magic for profit and other collections. Bitterfrost Frontier still remain to be popular for its easy stats-selectable trinkets

[Suggestion: Griffon Mastery updrafts]

hmm they added a mastery ability to dismount midair and glide, not perfect but its there

[Unsoloable X years old open world content should be made soloable]

did you try doing in on daily rotation?

Edit: so DM is today daily, which campion are you trying to kill?
