It's been happening to me and I suspect it's a network issue mainly because I usually have issues logging back in after such a black screen. It goes to character select and then as soon as I choose a character it kicks me out.

Many of the commenters have already expressed some really good ideas which should definitely be taken into consideration. Here are my recommended suggestions.As you mentioned before, the video should be around 1 minute in length. This means you won't be able to really 'sell the game' in this one video, but you can 'sell the expansion' with 1 minute. My suggestions are as follows Using short-captivating shots of things that new players would find fun/cool/exciting, and potentially match those with game-review quotes.E.g. "The Path of Fire maps are beautiful!" - John. [1-2s footage per clip of a few beautiful PoF areas].E.g. "Mounts are simply amazing!" - Adam [show a raptor leaping over a cliff, a springer jumping high and possibly slamming some enemies below, maybe even a sneaky flash of griffon feathers somewhere in there, or a griffon gliding low over some water before soaring high up into the sky again while the camera remains at the water level].Change the quotes from random players to quotes from actual reviewer sites/youtubers. If there aren't sufficient credible reviews, then make the reviews a lesser focus of the video.I.e. Use maybe one or two of the positive comments at most, and remove the ".1234" section from their names.Use some dramatic, attractive titles to promote various aspects of the game.E.g. "5 NEW MOUNTS", "NEW LIVING STORY SEASON", "9 NEW ELITE SPECIALIZATIONS" [While showcasing very brief clips featuring some of these parts]At the end of the video, there needs to be a CTA. Tell them to: "Buy Path of Fire", "Upgrade to Path of Fire", or even "Play for FREE" (though the last one is more for a general trailer, and not a PoF focused one).Well I'm really happy you all at Anet's marketing division have seen the value of community input and have sought to gather feedback from us. Hopefully this turns up the quality of the trailer quite a bit, and makes it a real hit.

Core player experience? You mean F2P players, aka free demo players? Listen, a business can't survive on just love and happiness from its playerbase, it needs money to survive. In a game where you pay no subscription fee, the least you can do is pull out $30 for an expac every 2 years. It's absolutely nothing. People spend more than that on parties, dinners, etc each month/week! $30 across two years = $0.04 a day. The only way Anet survives as a company is with expac sales and gem purchases from its large playerbase.

Thank you @Benjamin Arnold.3457 . What if the squad leader/creator retains all merge privileges as well as being immune to being kicked from that squad? We should also have an option to transfer ownership by right clicking anyone we want (as the leader).
