I love the mounts in this game, but I do find that I tend to lean heavily into Skyscale use because it functions for alot of traversal I need. I had some ideas to update the other mounts so they can be just as useful and then some. 1. Allow ALL mounts to be able to mount up in combat. 2. Bring in a weapon swap-type system so one set of abilities dismount on attack, you 'weapon swap' to the other ones that don't dismount but give more of a benefit, like a boon or shield drop for players etc. 3. On Zero or the Elite skill button, have an ability that allows you to dismount your mount, but it stays and fights with you. Adding in F1 to F3 as abilities it can use. I believe this would not only be pretty effing cool to now have full combat mounts in GW2, but it also means it makes each one entirely useful again and creatres a greater bond with each ones own unique gameplay offerings. Love to know what you guys think. Cheers.

Hey folks, don't normally post but wanted to share my thoughts on the upcoming Jade Bot update. So far the details are that they are adding the jade bot terminals to all 5 racial cities and lions arch. While on the surface this seems ok, it does bother me a little going back to one of the livestreams they held showcasing the JB's. They said the server wouldn't be able to handle everyone having a jade bot out, this doesn't make sense to me. Since you can unlock a miniature Jade Bot would this not disprove the notion? When you mount up your mini disappears only to reappear upon dismount. The Jade Bot wouldn't be 'another' mini you would have out ie: running 2 at the same time. So they could make it that when you swap to your Jade Bot miniature, it just replaces whichever mini you had out at the time. I haven't unlocked all the masteries so, when you get the ability to have a personal waypoint, is that tied to the terminal or is there a new Jade Bot menu that appears on screen? I would also propose allowing us to be able to have a summonable terminal anywhere in the world. Pop it in the menu where Fishing and Skiffs are if you like. That way we could drone anywhere we want and see the world from many different vantage points. I don't mind the idea of the jade charges for certain things and having the ability to gain those buffs like you can in Cantha but these should also be put into major cities. Also one final change, allow us to zoom all the way in to first person either mounted, or when using our Jade Bot in drone mode. Again, for the screenshots! Thanks for listening, I just feel like this feature is being criminally under used and would happily have you exploit it for our benefit lol

Move Dragon Trigger to the Elite Skill slot, put Tactical Reload in as a minor trait, get ride of the degeneration of the flow mechanic and allow us to move in Dragon Trigger stance, problems solved.

I don't think Arenanet are quite there yet. Look, Tactical Reload is a garbage elite. move that to a minor trait, move Dragon Trigger to the Elite Skill slot and you fix ALL your problems. Also remove the degeneration of the flow...this spec feels like we have to micro manage it.

that will take weeks though won't it? this is why we have been working hard to try and get this mount through the tier reward for the return to season 4 achievements etc.

ok thanks yeah he has already done that. hope this can get fixed we were going to be able to finally get it.

My son and I have been doing the new achievements to get the map currency to get the skyscale and he accidentally consumed the Tier 3 stack for Jahai Bluffs, the lumps of mistonium. I put in a support thread in this forum and he sent one through the website. We are on the last legs of trying to finally get this mount. The consume option SHOULD have a confirmation window and not instantly take it. I hope this can be reversed it literally only happened 20 minutes ago. Any dev support would be awesome. We can't even use another character to redo the map since it is account wide:(

My son and I have been doing the achievements to get the currency for the eventual acquisition for the skyscale. He accidentally consumed the stack of Lumps of Mistonium and wants to get it reversed please. any help would be awesome we have been working hard on trying to get our skyscale together and this consume option has thrown that all out. thank you.

Guild Wars 2 is such a power fantasy and alot of the new elite specs don't make me feel powerful. I dont get excited over little 'boons and buff's i want to feel like im kicking the bad guys like an 80s action hero. Harbinger: i feel like a chemist. potions are BORING. i get the boon side of it but have that vial change our first 5 abilities based on the one we used and transform us into some undead being for a brief time (like the Lich Form) OR Make the harbinger a Ritualist. he can already raise the dead, why not give the ability to raise spirits. fits in with the theme of Cantha and Rits being one of the original professions. And for quaggans sake...give us at the very LEAST dual wielding pistols and make us shoot undead or spirits as ammo. Bladesworn: i love the idea, but it feels clunky. make the flow build up regardless and then only use F1 to go into Dragon Trigger. Or make the utilities act like Engineer packs and each one changes our weapon skills. aka High Stance gun sabre, Medium Stance gun sabre etc Catalyst: this is a joke. the jade spheres should follow us around with the combo field. as you fight you become unstable and have to force the jade sphere to erupt into a massive AOE attack. If you dont its a small window before you get dealt serious health damage (think exhaustion mechanic kinda like the Ele in GW1) the utilities are very boring and you can't take them all out because if you do you are FORCED to play ele to constantly switch elements. Im fairly monogamous when i play ele, most of the time i stick to an element for a session. Vindicator, Virtuoso and Willbender all felt more polished and complete, and felt like both weapon skills and utilities were alot of fun. Love this game, but for the first time, and i hope it is beta, but these felt like after thoughts. You have to want to encourage people to get off their main elite specs, and so far, for me at least only 3 of the 6 are tempting me.

I had a sneaking suspicion this was the case but thank you it will make it far far easier now to be able to get those. Thanks again!

so what would be causing the achievement to not recognise what has already been found?

While I agree and obviously these are conflicting. I have already found the items on the list for the achievement. to add to this I have gone to the direct location of the items i am supposedly missing in the achievement and they won't pop. im assuming this is a beta issue because how can i have found items already yet the achievement not only doesn't recognise this, but wont recognise it again if i don't have them by its own account.https://ibb.co/JKJvyRC

So as an example i have full map completion for Queensdale yet the actual achievement for it still claims I have only done a handful of the items on the list. Is this bugged because its a beta build? Any help would be awesome cheers.

Make each elixer change your 1 to 5 skills. Thats it. it would make it so much more fun and each set of 5 depending on the elixer then feeds into the type of gameplay you're leaning into. When you pop the Elite you change into some ghostly monstrosity due to all the boons, much like how we can change into the Lich Form from base Necro. The Harbinger might be 'okish' on math...but its BORING to play and completely feels alien to how GW2 handle its professions.

Elite spec should have been dual wielding pistols from the start. Put a snare etc on 4 or 5 as an example. Dual wielding would look perfect on Harbinger. Love shroud, its amazing, maybe 2 charges on Voracious Arc so we can get in, then get back out again. Elixers are RUBBISH. NOTHING about them is good. Either make it so when you activate one it changes your first weapon skills to match the functionality of that elixer you equipped (like Engineers) or make the elixers actually combat ready so they not only buff you but do something damaging/cc'ing AND cool to the enemy. Right now 6 to 0 have the same animation and are boring. NO ONE is going to play as this spec in its current form. Even Elixer of Ambition could turn you into this raging shroud beast to match all the boons you have and also change your first 5 skills. Only elite spec in the entire game that is actualy boring. Feels like skills 6 to 0 is like visiting a nursing home.
