In-game: most of it are positive and friendly, there is always keyboard warriors here and there.Always kind souls if you ask something in the map chat- as they replies back, etc.
Forums: No. Dramamakers with no lives (sitting on the forums 24/7) and flaming as there is no tomorrow.

They never said anything about mounts.

Clearly you haven't been around that long. However, they DID said ''no expansions will ever come to GW2'' because of the Living World, you can even look it up at the older forum.Here’s the quote and no they never said no expansions, they actually said it’s on the table but if the Living World works out they won’t need it.(Emphasis is mine)“So right now we're not really looking at expansions as an option," lead content designer Mike Zadorojny told me on his visit to London last week."It's something that's on the table but it's not something we're focused on, because what we want to do is - our idea here is that with Living World, we can do what expansions would have done but do it on a more regular basis."I pressed him to tell me whether there would be a Guild Wars 2 expansion this year and he shook his head to indicate no. What about next year, I asked?"If we do this right," he answered, "we will probably never do an expansion and everything will be going into this Living World strategy."So, it was only if they were happy with the results of the Living World that there would be no expansions. Obviously they weren’t happy with it so they turned to expansions as their alternate choice.If you wanna go there with me, sure.I had a screenshot ages ago, before you even popped up here in the forums 24/7, as a Dev replied to an expansion thread discussion about GW2 could need an expansion.She/he did said similar"No, we wont have expansions, we have Living World- that's our "expansion"."
Yes, they wanted to make the Living World to become their expansion system but according to themselves, it failed.I quote:
"So right now we're not really looking at expansions as an option,""It's something that's on the table but it's not something we're focused on, because what we want to do is - our idea here is that with Living World, we can do what expansions would have done but do it on a more regular basis.""If we do this right," he answered, "we will probably never do an expansion and everything will be going into this Living World strategy." lead content designer Mike Zadorojny.
Do I have a proof of a dev saying "no expansions"? Sadly I do not anymore, I could go through the older forums but wasting time on that is just irrelevant.We have expansions now, thank god, so stop beating the dead horse already.

I’m sure they can be handled with a reverse grip.There's a Luxon dagger skins that uses reverse grip, Dragon Kama Skin. -

@Oglaf.1074 said:@derd.6413 said:only somebody with 0 understanding of weapons would use a scyth like a greatswordNobody would use a scythe as a weapon against anything but wheat, if you wanna bring the argument down that route. The weapon(s) know as “war scythes” were more akin to halberds or poleaxes than what most people think of as a scythe.Thankfully, GW2 is a fantasy game, not a realistic medieval combat sim. Using a traditional scythe with Greatsword animations is no dumber than with the Staff melee animations: it is equally dumb. Which means equally viable and perfectly fine.95% of staves in gw2 are "big sticks with something on top" which a scythe is closer to then a "really big sword".True, but if we are going even deeper within the point of the Scythe, it is a melee weapon, not a staff-shooting thing stave.
In the Istan map, the loyalist and sunspear Dervishes are using some of the Guardian's animation skills and abilities, such as Whirling Wrath and Leap of Faith, I would rather see Scythes into Greatsword skins too.I currently using Daredevil as my "Dervish" since his animation is the closest to the original.

The races who should be added is one of these:
Tengu (Charr skeleton) or Largos (humanoid).
I personally would love to see Tengu playable. ANet could do so much with it.The starter arena, the racial capital city, cultural armor and weapons.Give Tengu-players their own personal story, just like the other 6 races has.Instead of joining orders and defeat Zhaitan, they could give us an alternative storyline if that's the case.Maybe flashbacks of what happened in Cantha and why the Emporer banish all non-human races. What the Tengu been doing all this time and why they shutted out the world and stayed hidden inside their Dominion of Winds.
Largos, according to the wiki, has powerful clan/houses and lives underwater. This could be an excellent idea to make us go underwater, explore the Unending Ocean and even know more about Slebbub!Since they are humanoid race, with Russian accent (which is sooo cool!).
I believe ANet stated somewhere they didnt want to go with the classical races in fantasy world games such as Dwarf, Elf, Human, etc.

@"Alga.6498" said:So, let me get it all right;No expansions - HoT & PoF expansions.They said that expansions aren't needed because of their Living World model. However, the Living World model failed and that's why they changed it to an expansion model. That was more out of necessity.No raids - added later on after HoT exp.They said that their Orr Temple events and their explorable dungeons will be content for those that play Raids in other games. Both of these failed to attract players that play Raids in other games, or at least to keep them in the game for long. Which is why... we got them with Heart of Thorns.No mounts - PoF expansion content.They absolutely never said no to mounts. They only said "there won't be mounts on launch". That's it. They NEVER commented on any of the mount threads that appeared on the forums for YEARS. Not even once.No new playable races - next expansion??They said, multiple times, that Races are "highly unlikely" and not something that we'll see with the current direction. Not a definite "no", the future is in flux and it's not very good for a game developer to say "absolutely no" to a feature, but it's not something we'll see any time soon and it's NOT a priority.So Races are completely different to Expansions (financial reasons), Raids (past promises?) and Mounts (never even commented about them). Instead the developers were clear that Races are not coming in the near future, something they never done with any of the above.And WHY do you honest believe they would spoil or give hints of upcoming content such as new playable races anyway? IF they are planning to create new races, they wait until the actual expansion announcement, right?
''oh hey guys, anet dev here- just wanted to tell u all that new races will be added next exp, have fun with this spoiler!!!!11 :) :) :) :)''Oh my god.. :lol:

@"Xar.1387" said:Really? So why those generic fantasy tropes already exist then? There's already ALOT of them in GW2.Even dwarves already exist. I am not writing about creating whole new race, right? Dwarves already exist in this "not generic fantasy" universe :DAnd there's alot of informations about them.Also "devs/players dont want" argument in 2k18? Really? They didnt want mounts too. While right now every1 uses it. Same with raids.They never said they didn't want mounts or raids.They said that there would be no mounts in game at launch. I don't remember them saying anything about not adding raids.^ This. They even said "GW2 will have no expansions cuz we got Living World seasons".
So, let me get it all right;No expansions - HoT & PoF expansions.No raids - added later on after HoT exp.No mounts - PoF expansion content.No new playable races - next expansion??
Who knows really what ANet is up to and what's on the table.New races are one of the most requested content of the playerbase, it would be a shame and a bad move if ANet dont grant us this in the future.

I just loved the helmet visor, an actual and a new style of Heavy helmets, so I just had to pick that one first!
-
I did the exact same mistake with my characters! The soulbind system has to GO AWAY! :rage: Why do they even have this useless system when almost everything is accountbound nowadays?!

I am not really a fan of infusions, since imo they're ruining armor styles and look really ugly.Though I would love an infusion to look like an Ascalonian ghost. Now that is something I would use! :)
-
Yes, yes, yes and YES!!!! Bring it back! :angry:

I saw these too! Looks like a fanplayer- partner, of ANet create these. I think she said she will upload the rest of the races too of these cultural swimsuits!Could be a hint that we finally may get swimsuits for our characters ❤

2nd July.... still no reply. :disappointed:
-
Top list:
- White Mantle, their culture, their point, the way how rich and badass they are looking, I've always and will love them❤
- Ascalonian ghosts, I love these guys, defender of their kingdom, Ascalon, the whole foefire and their mad king story just gives me chills.
- Nightmare Court, I would've loved to choose being a Courtier between a dreamer, I would love to be on Nightmare Court side
- The Inquest, looove these guys, how they look with red and Black colours, their weapons, their experiments and so funny?
- Sons of Svanir, badass faction, I like the stereotype of only being a male club and followers of the Ice dragon.
I like all these badass factions?

It is still really beautiful and have great looking graphic, sure you can see it has aged and some stuff are "outdated and old looking", but overall it still look really beautiful.

I also use the standard setup except for the mounts. I have a Corsair keyboard with 6 extra button on the left side.
G1 = RaptorG2 = SpringerG3 = SkimmerG4 = JackalG5 = GriffonG6 = Beetle
Will be a pain to keybind for our upcoming mounts, :lol: :p :p

Dye it blue and you'll get Soooooooniiiiiicc... the armadillo? :lol:

@Danikat.8537 said:I think it's probably because each family of pets has unique skills and each pet within a family has 1 skill which is different from the others. So adding new pets means designing (and balancing) at least 1 new skill, potentially 4 if it's a new family.
But maybe they could add alternative skins for ranger pets? So for example the hyenas would all have the same skills and stats, but you could choose how they look. Or the krytan drakehound could get a basenji skin. (I'd love a pet basenji, or even a mini one.)
I would love an alternative skins for some of the ranger pets.Such asSand Lion - Sand LionessSylvan Hound - Nightmare HoundSnow Leopard - Alpine Stalker
As for Alpine Stalker, this is the most wanted pet for me! It's a white tiger!!!! Why cant we have this pet? ???

I would love to see race based themed mounts!
Charrcycle for RaptorSylvan Hound for Jackaluhhhmm….

Valkyria Agate, a Norn warrior from the Far Shiverpeaks, looking to reclaim hers and her people's homeland from the wrath of Jormag.She and her owl griffon will make that trip to fight and take back her homeland!

Kill off Taimi in a horrible way so she can atleast be memorable and have a cry moment for her. Similar to Eir's Death but instead by dying from a random mob in the Jungle, make it more dramatic.Since Taimi are dying due to her disability or will be dead since she's useless in combat, we can Always recruit the two Brothers instead since they're far more interesting characters than Taimi will ever be.
Recruit Gorrik and Blish to our cute little guild!

@"Alga.6498" said:God I really do hope she will die in a painful way, hate her so much!As Taimi dies, Zojja will make her ultimate comeback! ❤❤❤Oooor, we'll just keep Gorrik and Blish ?Trend of multiplying annoying asura characters is indeed troubling.Yeah... I just wish all of them disbanded or dies so we could get more and new characters and perhaps returning ones, Caithe for an example.
Although Gorrik and Blish is far more interesting than our annoying little "smart"brain Taimi.At our 2nd episide of LS3, I literally waited and hoped for her to run out of air during her golem error program. :lol:
