They look neat, I just hope there is a double fire eyes version.

Finally someone that get it, yes, not open world map, but as a instance map near the eye. To change topic, yes, I hope too that Primordius don't get nuked, not enough development.And for rewards, dunno if the fire eye infusion is available as two fire eyes. At least one new gh deco coming. I really hope to see stone summit in chapter 4 and not just destroyers.

Yes, it does. This is just another Shiverpeaks map reworked for this episode. There won't be a new map. (Reasons were already explained.) Well, there are only 2 days overlapping, and any severe bugs can be posted on Twitter. We'll see how that works out. I have no idea what you're talking about.... Zzzzz :disappointed: Another reworked shiverpeaks map? There is a giant frozen lake in the trailer... It is around eye of the north surely, this isn't frostgorge sound nor drizzlewood.As the release website point to, too, yes, surely it is a strike or DRM, but since it is an unknown place, it is a new map. Well precise for you there, that map to me means new place, even if contained in an instance. Notices that permit all the persons above that said there is no new map, none clearly answered me where is happening chapter 4.So, if nobody can tell me precisely, at the exact poi or area of map where is happening the event, it is new to me. COME ON. How can anyone tell me this isn't a new place, you already saw this kind of landcape? In 9 years, haven't seen it. Even if in a DRM, you can't tell it isn't new. I can even locate that new map! Well instance if you prefer for the sake of the word: Just at the left of EOTN. This little water branch infiltrating in the mountains is what my picture above is. On the lake, Jormag, and coming out of the mountains, just near of EOTN primordius.

No subtitles "New map" doesn't mean there is no new map. Does anyone here remember dragonfall? Because the spoil was in map name, they never said map name and released the episode to let us discover what it was. S4E6 is just my meter ( ).Putting aside the trailer itself (which is 100 times better music-wise and emotion-wise than today's one, but that's just my taste), min 1:58 trailer explicitly says "new map" not map's name to avoid spoilers as you also say, only "new map". Today's trailer doesn't even do that, make your own conclusions.SIGH gonna tell the same thing here. A new place in an instance is a new map to me. Why arguing. Maybe for you a map is necessarely with quests, poi and so on. To me, a new place in an instance, like FARAHNUR, RATA PRIMUS CUBE, WHITE MANTLE hideout in the north of brisban wildlands is also maps.GOD of course it doesn't say new map, if the map is the DRM or strike!!!!

How a cataclismic fight is sensed to happens in a DRM huh? I mean come on, putting primordius and jormag model in an instance? How many assets would be needed to put all the minions, fire tree, frost shards and so on? Don't get me wrong, if it is an instance, it is an instance, this is it. But I prefer not imagining it before seeing it in action. Imagine the number of models needed. It hurts to imagine we will have the bare minimum, few destroyer veterrans and few svanir and call it a day. Think about it, if it is a map in an instance, so like steel warband, you don't states it is a map, but it is still a map. Re - read the following part of the post: "Dragonstorm: Join the Final BattleThere’s little time left to save Tyria from a cataclysm of ice or fire. An evenly matched head-to-head fight between Primordus and Jormag will destroy them both, and each dragon is desperate to gain an advantage. Tip the scales to ensure they can’t hide behind Braham and Ryland forever." The chapter is called ballance, Dragonstorm is maybe a story step, but what if it is the name of the instance / map instance? I will tell you, there is only one way to know if it is a new designed map even if in an instance, or just an instance happening in a map we have. I will log in game, and search where could have been taken the screenshots of the release page.Tell you what.... I will bet you 50g this all takes place in a Strike styled mission and we will settle up next week :)SIGH what do you don't understand?A new place, even in an instance in a NEW MAP.Why having a debate? WHAT I'M TELLING YOU is that a new map isn't necessarely in open world for eternal alchemy sake!!!!!!FARAHNURTRANSPORT FACILITY SIGMA 5WHITE MANTLE HIDEOUTGLINT LAIRINSIDE KRALKATORRIKINSIDE DRACONIS MONS VOLCANORATA PRIMUS CUBEand so on.... All those are maps, and see, they are INSTANCES. Yes, even if you don't access them outsides, and they don't have quests or whatever they are maps. You are stuck with I don't know what, you are betting on it is a strike mission or drm, I am not betting on that, I am betting on the fact that this place is NEW or NOT NEW. Just came back and it doesn't seem to be in drizzlewood, maybe around eye of the north. The frozen lake.

Means nothing!! If the name is a spoiler like flame and frost place it makes sense they don't say it!! What about if the map is in an instance?If those are drizzlewood DRMS, I quit and simply stop playing. yeah the level is low, but ending the chapter thing like that, wow... But after reading the releases notes, it is true they state:"Play the final chapter of The Icebrood Saga: Champions to experience Dragonstorm as part of the story. Head to Eye of the North to face the challenging world boss version of this encounter—anyone can join while the event is active, or you can form a squad to start your own instance at any time."

Let's take a look on how dragon related maps are spread around tyria:1-You always have a map that introduce you the threat, but you have second objectives like help locals.2-Then a map where the foe has a foothold, ton of camps, and where you feel like you are entering it's circle of influence.3-Thirdly a map, where the menace is everywhere, and you struggle to survive, allied camp are rares and made of scraps, hard to bring reinforcements and supplies.4-Finally a domain map, where you a face a major champion/ legendary of the associated dragon. Jormag made its time, and it is totally possible now, to have a map, that is the domain map, where jormag hide, that's why primordius come out of the ground after swimming in the underground to reach it. Primordius on its side never had development and it would be a waste to end its arc, lore, developmeent now. There are NO map introducing clearly Primordius domain, the pact having hard time to reach it through dwarven or asura undergrounds nor a place we have hard time to survive facing destroyers. We only have draconic mons and ember bay, which are in fact introducing maps, because in one you halp the druids, and in the other you help the skritts and some random asura scientists. This is a No No situation to kill Primordius right now, the trailer let the suspence on, on purpose, not showing who lose. And I perfectly understand, because If I see jormag win and primordius losing, I stop playing, don't buy cantha expansion and stop playing. Nothing less than that. They already butchered enough Dwarves by bringing them out of nowhere without context. Steel warband was such a good start with the stone summit. Stone summit, Btw, where are they now? Shouldn't we see them fighting along Braham? You see, that story isn't even consistent.

No subtitles "New map" doesn't mean there is no new map. Does anyone here remember dragonfall? Because the spoil was in map name, they never said map name and released the episode to let us discover what it was. Just put yourselves at the dev place, if the map is called Frost and Flame battleground? Would you say it? NO even if it is obvious what is the next place. Well will continue hoping, but it seems that the release page doesn't point at a new map too, sad.

Well maybe there is a new map after all.... I mean, I don't recognize the place and putting so much fire and everything would be too much assets to make an existing map looks different.

Nyeh? Zojia wears the already available in game armor, Cultural Tier 3, "Savant Armor" https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Savant_armor Zojja can be seen wearing a slight variant to this set which lacks the shoulder straps. Kudu wears an alternate version of this set with mirrored gloves.(Wiki on Trivia.)What I want though, is a Snaff armor, with both holo-thing a ma jigs on the sides.https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/SnaffAlso, it's interesting how he kept both armor pieces as a ghost!Totally want the snaff chest armor. (The mecha arms are part of chest part) I can see several of my characters interested by it with red dyes for both arms lights. Nyeh? Zojia wears the already available in game armor, Cultural Tier 3, "Savant Armor" https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Savant_armor I am aware of this however it is light armor only and I would like this for my engineer so if it were an outfit it would not matter.I have a scrapper asura and can understand the issue, however having an outfit will make it worse, you are forced to use the whole parts of the outfit, you can't mix and match with other armors. This is already my main complain with the original cultural savant armor: it forces you to have those epaulets and mecha arms! Dunno what I would pay to be able to mix the savant chest armor with scarlet spaulder and grasps! But hey, why not an outfit version, after all, you have rox, braham, and even a taimi outfit on gemstore.

An idea for a fourth mode / challenge mode for tribulation. I challenged myself this year, trying to complete each zone with less than 10 lifes.I did it for world 1: I started putting myself at 99 lifes. For world 1-1, I lost 4 lives. For world 1-2, I lost 7 lives, and for world 1-3, I lost only 3 lives.My "record" for each was 2 lives, 4 lives, 2 lives. Haven't fully tried world 2. But did w2-1 and 2-3 with losing 4 lives. Have to try w2-2, but I always die at least 4 times at the start of w2-2, 3 times for push block maze with the cloud, sometimes 1-2 at the end. But most of the time, once I past the long way of jumping pillar to pillar to reach gong pagoda, I don't die anymore. So I think it is possible to complete it with ten lifes. Maybe 15, in case of.There could be achievements tied to it and a title like extreme or furious jumper. Just an idea thrown here.

Since the release of strikes I still not have runic armors. Why? Because you are asking of abberant amount of crystals, abberants amount of gold and the items you can exchange for armor pieces never drop!!! I'm angry, 250g for a chestplate, you know it is what 250g? It is almost as much as the griffon mount! crazy, still don't understand that the following items droprates haven't been increased: Ice pearl, frozen spark of life, ancient deldrimor gear, essential oil of shadows, blessed raven statuette and pristine fang of the whispers. Come on, why the choya are they account bound? Can't you remove merchant value and make those items sellable and buyable on Trading post?It is annoying. Come on again, they are exotics, not even racial, and you ask 750g and ~350k karma for the full set? Big oof. Really. Not even a full ascended armor set cost that much! For the sake of the skritts balance your game, why there are exotics armors costing more than ascended or precursors?!!! Do something, change the price to only require 50g per armor piece. ANY PIECE. Don't understand the stupidity of increasing crystals and gold price for helmet, chest and shoulders...

In the upper right corner of your screen you have a yellow star with super adventure box festival written. Click on it, you will see a timer telling you how many days are left.

Like quench above I do think too they match quite well all my Inquest characters. I use generally the unique skins from sandswept like the spanner, phase scalpel... with either dark asuran, inquest or inquest mk2 sets. But the vanquisher skins work too, I keep the vanquisher sword with phase scalpel currently. Through for other weapons like rifle or staff, I prefer the inquest mk2 skins than vanquishers. I pick different sets depending on the weapon I need to use.

That would be nice, that happened in 2013 we had the first one in April, the whole month :D Then again in Sept. for about a month. But I think Anet is very focused on releasing End of Dragons this year. I'm going to guess we should have a beta sometime during the summer months June, July, or Aug, then it will probably release in the fall. Yup, if I'm right we now have all the factions for DRMS. Skritts were the last. I suppose when SAB ends or a week later we have chapter 4 of champions. That will last again, on guess, after two weeks. So april 27 plus 2 weeks, around 11 may. My Guess is that EOD is coming for July, but we will have a trailer in june. Dunno. No we still got Kodans to go, no new instance tho.My bad, just checked achievs. The kodans are coming indeed. So one week of nothing, one week of kodan then one week of nothing. That would mean 4 factions for chapter 3 if kodan are added before chapter 4. Olmakhan, tengu, skritt, kodan. Drms are all added. So i'm afraid of what will come with chapter 4

Like someone said above, you should bring back SAB: back to school during september

Note: Added a bug, fixed links, will add more if I find more of them.

Firstly, what decos we have currently:Angry Cloud, Super Beech Tree, Super Campfire, Super Chest, Super cliff Face, Super Cloud, Super Flower, Super Forest House, Super Happy Cloud, Super Ice Wall, Super King Frog, Super Large Rock, Super Leaf Platform, Super Lily Pad, Super Mountain, Super Mushroom, Super Mushroom Platform, Super Pagoda Column, Super Pine Tree, Super Pointing Flat Glad Hand, Super Pointing Flat Hand, Super Pointing Flat Sad Hand, Super Pointing Glad Hand, Super Pointing Hand, Super Pointing Sad Hand, Super Rock, Super Rock Platform, Super Rock RampSuper Rock Wall, Super Short Cliff Face, Super Small Rock, Super Snow Floor, Super Snowy Cliff Face, Super Tall Cliff Face, Super Tree, Super Tree Branch, Super Tree Trunk, Moto Painting. 38 decorations. However, nothing from the hub, world 2-2 (just pagoda), world 2-1 (just pine tree) or world 1-2 is covered. No decos related to shop furnitures or jump mechanics.So I walked around and gathered some screens of assets in the box: (Red crosses are the minimal decos that should be added, black is optionnal) 1- Currently there is not of platforms options, either you use clouds, floor tiles, cliff face or ramp. It is flat, no special relief. That's why I'm requesting the octogonal hill from w2-z2, this combined to the existing trunks and leaves decos could balance player created deco parkours. To work with it, a working bouncing mushroom decos: Indeed, there is none sab portal deco available currently, no way to earn altitude, you have to link two "floors" of your jumping puzzles by putting randoms rocks, ramps and so on, it isn't natural, we should be able to do it like in sab, pass from a floor to another with bouncing mushrooms, see w1-2 and w1-3. Cannons could be deco acting like in sab, shooting user away. 2- Scenery is currently only stump house. More houses would be better, that is why i'm suggesting that small ninja temple at the end of w2-2. The shop house (world 2 house on picture) can be a good addition too, putting them around the jumping parkour created. 3- The third category I made is for gardens. Moto fountain, sab lightpost and flower patch, the three coming from the hub can be nice addition to embelish a garden made with non sab decorations. There is no natural decorations currently, no plants outside of pots apart hedges and trees. SAB has ferns patches, flower patches, sticky carnivorous plants in 1-3... But I have three others possibilities of decos packs for next year: One about w2-2 mostly: Trampolines, usable portal deco, large octogonal hill, spin flower, large clouds, small ninja temple. A second possibility only about shop furnitures: pot, library shelf, table, chair, carpet, goat head, wall candle. The third is about w2-1 decos: Wooden planks bridges, water floor asset, log, wooden house, cluster of square hills, water geyser, waterfall

1- Most of the baubles encountered while riding the shortcut eagle can't be collected.2- There is a grass asset in tribulation w1-2 that is bugged, sometimes the game consider there is no grass floor and kills you instantly like you are standing on lava. See picture of exact location: 3- Rocket pointing arrows in w2-3 sometimes triggers and sometimes not, concern every trapped pointing arrows.4- Sometimes if you are attentive, you see sab assets in transparency in background of overworld map with the quill, dunno if it can be corrected.5- Pirahna don't appear flopping on the ground at the end of w2-2 hard path after jumping all pagodas. I speak of fishes from the pool among the clouds just before reaching the end.6- Dunno if bug, there is no glorious chest appearing for infantile mode, I think at the origin there was one.7- There are ghosts collisions on the sides of w2-2 hills asset, and sometime you can jump by jumping on the vertical sides of the assets.See this video: 8- When pirahnas escape your grasp in w2-2 sometimes they disappear instead of simply being dropped, especially when on roof, trampolines...Normal behavious is, from wiki: "Piranhas do not despawn when dropped, though they will despawn a few seconds later if not picked up again."9- There are monkeys that appear in double or don't spawn in w1-2 and w1-3. Some assassins appear in double on long wooden bridge above void section w2-1.

Ah yeah yeah. Well.... kinda strange, maybe they forgot about making an achiev for vanquishers.But it is kinda big, adding weapons but forgetting putting a collection....

Indeed, I suppose that even anet know it is impossible to have all the vanquisher skins that year. You need the crimson version to buy them. (Faster than kaiser) 1 crimson skin = 8 to 16 tokens. 1 token = 1 day, correspond to one sab daily.SAB is 3 week long if i remember well, so 24 tokens. There are 16 skins requiring total of 200 tokens. If you divide by 24, you obtain 8.33 years. It started in 2013. They are covered until 2022. Option two is that they forgot to create a reward for the set and so haven't added a collection. Wait you can finish them maybe.... they added weekly achievments awarding 4 tokens in total...

What is the point of team score in upper right corner? Been here since 2013 but isn't it useless? Can there be better rewards for higher score or an achievement in each zone to kill every foes? For next year:1-Can the spike floor preventing to active a checkpoint in w2-3 tribulation be removed? It is located after a long icy walkway of wind mouths and a barrage of explosive barrels.2-Could furniture coins be exchangable for baubles at trader?3-Can the jump be made a little higher and longer? Original SAB creator said nothing require dodge jump whereas there are w1-2, w1-3, w2-2 and w2-3 jumps that are hard to do without it. Continue working on world 3 really really hope to see it next year, good luck. Really, what you gonna add? Another color set? God no, please, world 3. No more wait.Please!!! I already have all the king toad and storm wizard skins.
