Beyond lore implications (?) saying that you have to abandon the guild hall to go into another guild hall, maybe the devs needed to make it this way to allow upgrades to carry over between guild halls. Or maybe they just wanted to design it as a time and gold sink, calling it a guild activity in the chat.

I could swear I already saw this dialogue last year.

That just makes me think this should an ending theme, not the first character select theme. You're right that it fits lore and setting wise but it's horridly misused when it encourages me to sit and ponder the sands of time rather than start play the game I just logged into.

This is going to be completely ignored and run over by the rest of the conversation but for real I wish there was a solo mode of the raids. Instead of fishing and skiffs EoD should have gotten a mastery to command NPCs in certain situations like raids to fulfill mechanics that otherwise make the raids impossible to solo. Then I can waste my own time practicing raids instead of trying to corral 9 other people to waste our collective time with.

I love that this issue perfectly lines up with why I did not buy EoD, I want options to reduce visual obstructions and annoyances, not buy into more forced visual obstructions and annoyances.

How to start a fire in the forums: ask for a way to get legendary armor in PVE without having to do raids.

I reckon we'll be main-handing shields and off-handing scepters before we get new weapons.

I don't care in the slightest about the title but you really walked out with a lightning rod in a meadow on a stormy night with this thread. Coming on and saying something akin to "I have this cool thing and you can't have it because I don't want you to have it" never gets a favorable response. Kind of like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wotNCPtroWs

For a moment I thought there was some kind of lava wurm in the background. Turns out it was one of the characters on the mount, and the character is completely solid even though the turtle has faded. Going to be a disaster for visual clarity when events requiring turtles are released.

Only your own, other players can continue to shove that garbage in your face without your consent.

Still not buying EoD until this gets addressed.

Wow, I think I can seriously say Anet is treating you like skritt. Sending you all scrambling like rats in a maze with the promise of something shiny and awesome at the end, only for it to just be something as worthless as a discarded button.

I don't have EoD to try it but I see desert fish fishing spots in the shallow waters around Windswept Haven so I think those are what you'd be looking for.

I only pointed out those two reasons because they exist as reasons why people would melee with turtles instead sticking to character skills. Implications of acceptability are irrelevant.

Trolls means it's more intentional than other reasons. Why did you have to ask?

Known for months before this expansion pack got released that this could be an issue. It was a concern dismissed due to turtle dps being extremely low compared an actual character but that doesn't stop trolls or really improperly built characters from wanting to use turtle dps.

Same boat as you but that didn't stop me from standing out like a sore thumb 30 minutes in the life of this poll.

Did you just imply that having an ICD and a change from heal to regen is better than just having an ICD?

Fine, I hope you enjoy the game as it is and as it will be but as for me I will continue to insist it be improved by holding firm to the issues that I want dealt with before I purchase and play EoD myself. Don't think I'm a simple naysayer or downer though just because I'm not purchasing EoD, I do in fact want to play and enjoy EoD someday but I do not trust the issues will be dealt with if I reward them with money and loyalty for purposefully exacerbating those issues with EoD instead of fixing them. Are we clear on that or are you going to respond with a confused emoji for some reason which may include unqualified disapproval?

Well that would explain how a suggestion to add an optional skiff that purposely functions like a piece of junk to the game made it in there. I always assumed QoL suggestions are meant to improve QoL, not be a detriment.

Dodging is easy if you mastered all your mounts, just use skimmer and hold the special movement key it it's too tough to get the timing.

New login screen. Getting that even without buying EoD after all.

A commitment to not double down on adding more unavoidable visual effects that can impair game play or even make it harmful to a person's health. For those who think the visuals will not be that bad in EoD, it doesn't matter because it already is that bad outside of EoD and this chunk of flesh from Anet's bottom line is for everything beforehand as well. The last thing I want to give them is encouragement to keep obsessing over "shiny."

You're all looking at it the wrong way if you don't get highest contribution. Just because that one person managed to get an extra stack does not mean you did not benefit from your own hard work as you still helped get the final chest to spawn faster with your efforts that pushed the person who got the stack to complete the event faster. I mean I'd rather get to that main chest faster even if it means I get a few less greens, essences of luck, and token shards than someone else.

Set ground targeted skills to fire off upon keystroke or after letting go of the key to save an extra button push. Also use Mouse keys and see if a change in hand positioning like that helps your wrist.
