Story: 10/10 - voice acting, pacing, profession-specific interactions within the events, all very well done. Only issue is how tedious the first instance boss is. New Map:-Design - 10/10, right in line with the new PoF map standards (I'm highly impressed with the size itself and variety of areas within the map)-Events - 9/10, there's plenty to do and most of the non-meta event stuff can be done solo/with few players. The events are fun and varied, I haven't even experienced them all but I'm loving the smaller-scale metas that y'all have been doing. The only issue I have is with the high dps-check nature of the time-gated events like Amala. There's already so much going on in that event chain that it's incredibly difficult to kill her within the time limit even with perfect CC. Tried about 5 times last night and never got her lower than 20% health even when starting with close to 4 minutes left on the clock. Please consider at least a health nerf since there's already so many mechanics that make this a challenging fight.-Have not done raid or fractal yet, but I really appreciate that the fractal is current-story relevant. More like this please! -PLEASE let us at least defend ourselves from Braham's accusations. I am sick and tired of listening to him rant while the commander, who has done nothing but bleed and sweat and sacrifice and make the hardest choices a Tyrian has had to make be lectured by a grieving child whose actions would straight-up doom the world. Rytlock saying 'ENOUGH' is a step in the right direction but we need leaps here. If I could write the dialogue I'd say "ENOUGH! I will not stand here and be attacked for doing the best I can and ensuring Tyria will survive. Putting Jormag to sleep was the only way to keep Balthazar from killing it, and the person you claim to care about so much - Taimi - proved that killing more dragons would release enough magic to destroy Tyria outright. Regardless of how you feel about me, I still consider you a friend and ally but if you think I will stand by and let you doom Tyria then by the Spirits/Alchemy/Six(insert race-appropriate item here) you could not be more mistaken because I will fight you tooth and nail to prevent that. Don't make me fight you, and don't misunderstand me; I am done listening to your baseless criticisms. If you want to discuss your grievances like an adult I'm ready any time, but this has gone on long enough and I am tired of it. I have a world to save. Again." or some such. It's disheartening to listen to the Commander roll over and take the kicks.-Also where's Caithe?
