Gw2 is still growing and expanding both in lore and potential with each new release.. I'm not even remotely thinking of a Guildwars 3 at this point, Hell i'm hoping we're not even half way through the story yet. 2 Dragons down, 4 to go and still no solution to how we're going to finally achieve this goal.So far we've got 1 ally who can supplant 1 dragon and she's too young to pull it off yet. Anet has gotten a lot better at building bigger and better living world releases as well as getting them out faster..Just look at the quality increase since living world 1.. In my opinion Guildwars 2 has at least another 4-5 years in it before Anet will probably start looking into a new game.. and to be completely honest with you i'm not entirely sure their next game will be Guildwars 3..Surely after 2 decades Anet would want to move on to a new IP and do something different.. as much as I love Gw2 I honestly wouldn't blame them for wanting that.Besides it's not like Gw1 or Gw2 are going anywhere so long as Anet remains in business and the games have an active player base.

From my own experience Minions dying when mounting only happens if you quickly re-mount after dismounting.The minions must be allowed to go through their spawn animations after a dismout or they will instantly die upon remount. It took me a while to catch on to this but giving them the few seconds they need to respawn is all you need to do to avoid them dying.

I don't have a problem with these kinds of armors (common in these kinds of games) but generally I do prefer to cover my characters up more to fit a style or theme.Not against more modest armors being added.. likewise not against more revealing ones being added for males as well as a hide chest option so we can play those large bulky bezerker style warriors who don't wear anything other than pants.

I only had one drop and that was from the Jotun in Bitterfrost which has higher rates for them if i'm not mistaken. Only others i've had were crafted or bought.. mostly bought.Their drop rates are just far too low for my tastes, specially since i've bad luck with RNG most of the time.

It would be neat if we could actually speed up in mid air as well. :+1: Agreed, It's kind of silly the boost doesn't really speed you up in the air, it is essentially a rocket boost lol I mean, I like that you can gain adrenalin by using "boost" in the air, but some jumps are too short for that, namely when you hit a small bump (and there are locations where you have several bumps in sequence). In that case, I often want to speed up shortly before the bump, but the game doesn't register and I have to wait until I hit stable ground again to be able to speed up. Precious time lost. Yeah and if you try to build up the endurance bar on those chances are you'll loose more since you don't have enough time to pull off evena short trick. Don't even get me started on those small bumps! I don't know how many good rounds were ruined by those when I just wanted to use the boost but hit a micro-bump which the game interpreted as me attempting a trick during this half-a-second airtime, resulting in me losing a quarter of the endurance bar and now unable to use the boost even after that bump. :#Yep XD Been there so many times ahh it's annoys me to no end XD

I see a lot of people saying press C for drifting but personally I prefer to use S instead.You can drift pretty much after the boost phase ends although I tend to wait a second or so just to be sure and thus boost a little earlier if I know a drift is coming up or right after the drift if I know there is enough straightway to handle it. I always aim wide for a drift.. so using Diassa's Tree Left drift turn as a point or referece I try to aim slightly towards the right side of the first checkpoint and start drifting before I get to it the goal being to try and catch the left side of the checkpoint as close to the edge as possible.I find aiming for that left side more often leads to me missing it or screwing up my drift. To do the actual drift after I've pre aligned myself up I release W and hold down S and right click for camera and then aim in the direction I want to go which causes the drift.Once I've more or less drifted to the point I wanted and the Beetle is facing the general direction I want to go I release S and press and hold W again which cancels the drift and makes the Beelte move forward again, using a boost at this point is excelent for rapidly recoving speed lost with the drift.It takes some practice to get used to but it's a lot of fun once you've got it down ^^

I think there is some argument to be made for Snowden.. and maybe Brisban for a 1-2 second increase on the gold but overall I've not found it that difficult to get them myself. I'm speaking as someone who is in the top 100 times on every race track.. in 2 of them i'm in the top 50, Before yesterday I can honestly say I sucked with the Beetle, seriously it was my least favorite mount because I simply could not control it.. or more accurately, didn't know how.These race adventures have really improved my Beetle control.. all I did yesterday was race aiming for the silver, then the gold and then just to beat my time and try and make the top 100 which is just a fun goal I like to set myself with adventures. There is a lot to take in with these races though.. and that has a lot to do with the map design since these old Tyria maps were never designed for this kind of thing.Terrain bumps can really mess with the Beetle since the Beetle gains no traction or has any control while it's not connected to the ground and this becomes far more of a problem when you're dealing with lag and traveling at such high speeds which again is still a fairly new thing for this game. While there certainly is a skill and familiarity element involved with mastering the Beetle and these races, I do believe that individual internet connections also play a part when it comes to finer control.When I race Raptors, Skimmers, Jackels and Griffons etc which typically move at slower speeds I find other players are easily able to keep up with me and one single mistake tends to cost me the race.When I race Beetles however I find even with mistakes I almost always win.. I refuse to believe this is just down to my own ability or familiarity with the courses.. not after just a single day of practice.There's definitely more to it.. net and input lag is most certainly one factor of that I am absolutely sure.

I want the STORY to return, so i can do the story whenever i want. the world bosses where only a small part of the story. As do I, but if that simply isn't possible or never going to happen i'll take what I can get how I can.

With those Temporal domes we got an Jahai allowing us to relive past experiences It may actually be possible to revive some of the old living world 1 battles in a different map.I'm sure many players would love to have the Breachmaker event and other LW1 fights as open world events in a future map using this temporal mechanic.Even getting a Rematch with the Shatterer was a great experience ^^ Hell why not even a giant dome that periodically changes it's events.. but each event is more or less an actual world boss style event.First Hour, Karka invasion of old LASecond Hour, Twisted marionetteThird Hour, Breachmaker invasion of LAFourth Hour, War in Kryta! Help defend Gw1 Lions Arch against an invading army of White Mantle and Murzaat forces! Gw1 fans would freak out if they added that last one in :) specially if they could obtain Medal of Honor items and trade them to a uniqe Lionguard NPC who would give them GW2 Oppressor's weapon skins just like you could in Gw1.That would be one hell of a throwback.

GO, BANANA! References aside :DI have at least one of each class although there are a few I don't play often.Mesmer, Ele and Revenant are 3 I find difficult and a bit off putting since I don't get them to well or find them akward to use. Mostly I play Ranger and Necromancer because I have more experience with them and find them the most enjoyable to play.

I think req concentration as others have said is a bit crippling for many builds but I do like where you're going with stealth perception. Maybe instead of a stat handling this it could be worked into the WvW Rank abilities instead.The more points invested into it the harder you are to spot and the easier it is to see others with less points invested.Or maybe some traits could be reworked in WvW such as Rangers Spotter which aside from granting a precision bonus also grants you a 5-10% chance to reveal a stealthed player when applied.

Monsoon might be a good cheap skin to use for a combat staff.. OP is right though there are so many magical staff skins and very, very few combat staff skins in Gw2.. You could argue there are more Scythe staff skins that combat staff skins XD And since Scythes only really suit Necromancers (who use magical staffs not combat) because Dervishes don't really exist anymore then it kinda defeats the point.

For fun but also for rares.Rares = Ecto so easy ecto.

I couldn't agree more with these suggestions. No love for living world 1? Boo XD Yeah man the novelty tab has been such a great addition, it makes me want Anet to just go nuts with it.Add tons more tonics, chairs, baloons and toys ^^ the more useful/entertaining they are the better. If they threw a combat capable endless Tengu tonic on the gem store for a few hundred gems I bet a lot of people would buy it.I know I would XDDoubt it would be hard to make one either.. Tengu uses the Charr frame I think so I expect all the PC Charr animations would be easily transferable to a Tengu tonic.

(Small Ask)I really want to be able to access my home instance upgrades (nodes etc) in the Suns refuge.. this was a huge missed opportunity imo and really made the Refuge feel kinda pointless after completing all it's upgrade quests.All I use it for now is a free teleport to Jahai thanks to the scroll. (Moderate Ask)More combat tonics please :DI'd love to see things like the Monkey King tonic become combat capable. (Big Ask)Rebalance each of the games dungeon story modes to be solo instances like what was done to Arah.Playing through the original Gw2 story is something I always do per character.. I don't skip ahead and leave previous story unfinished.When getting to Arah having all of Destiny's edge all buddy buddy makes absolutely no sense if your PC has not completed each of the dungeons story modes..Story modes which explain how a group of people who hated one another in a level 40 personal story instance have finally sorted their problems out and come together to fight Zhaitan.That said getting mail about Ascalon catacombs story mode at level 30 despite Eir coming up with the idea and reason to go there in that very same level 40 story instance I mentioned earlier is yet another moment in the game that makes absolutely no sense what so ever and really annoys me more than it should xDIf we could start getting mail about dungeons after Destinys Edge meet up in old LA that little detail alone would be so much better.Imo all story stuff in Gw2 should be soloable and for the most part it is, but with dungeon stories tied into the personal story the way they are it makes sense that they should be soloable.. specially since finding 5 people who want to do story can be a pain at times, specially when you want to watch all the dialogue cutscenes. (Enormous Ask)There is a gigantic void between the Personal story and Living world 2.A void that includes the introduction of almost every ridiculously prominent NPC ally our player character has been traveling the world with for the last 4 years.. along with those characters introductions and initial bonding moments between one another.At this point the only way anyone can really experience these moments is by watching a 3+ hour long video on youtube. I can not stress enough how much not being able to replay these moments in game bothers me.. Severely and immensely are the first two words that come to mind xDI get the reasons why after 4 years this still hasn't been done.. and I know it would take a lot to make living world 1 into replayable content.But so long as that content remains unplayable.. Gw2 will always feel like an incomplete game that's missing important story content from the middle of it's overall campaign.We quite literally go from "Yay we beat Zhaitan" to "Lets take a group of total strangers to fight a dragon we've never heard of"It might just be me but the further we progress into Gw2's progressing story.. the bigger the absense of Living world 1 feels to me.At this point I honestly don't care if living world 1 was redone and failed spectacularly at recreating the epic open world elements like Tower of nightmares, War for LA and the Marionette battle.As long as the main story points were there to be replayed I'd be content enough just being able to experience them again.

99% represent mandatory?.. no thanks. Good luck with your guild though.

Have you tried this on your Jackel? Mounts are no help in this instance. The deadeye hits hard if you mount or if you glide. They are useless here. Jackel no but I beat her easily in a few minutes using the raptor to get from a-b etc really quickly.As long as you don't get shot and dismounted it's fine.

Just wanted to say that all classes have access to teleport now with the Jackel mount.. You can easily use it's teleports to blink from cover to cover as well as the new mastry to boost endurance regen to spam it.

Not to worry, after your clan has been branded, I'll skewer that annoying plot device, kill the dragon and have a nice cup of tea. Not if I feed you to an Elder dragon first :P

If it comes down to a choice to Destroy kralkatorrik or save Taimi then i'll say this much.Tyria better get used to being branded.

So you were able to complete this content previously, but now find you cannot do so? Can you tell me what time you and your friend made the attempt? Was it after the build we did last night at 5:30 PM Pacific Time? Thanks, Teratus. Yeah my solo playthrough of the story was fine with exception to some DC when the patch first dropped, I played the story out without any further problems in one sitting till 5AM UTC+2 on patch day. I haven't attempted the instance again since we played it last night, My friend was streaming for almost 6 hours starting from I believe around 8:00pm till 2:00am my time (UTC+2)That would have been between 1:00 PM - 7:00 PM PST I think. The timeframe we encountered the bug was around 3 hours 31 minutes into the stream.. which would have been around 4:30 PM PST so an hour before the 5:30 PM patch if i'm working this out and remembering the time correctly. (additionally)We were able to complete the instance despite the bug but not before we had thrown ourselves into a death wall a couple of times.This also caused Blish's initial dialogue to skip.

I ran into this one last night while playing the instance with friends. Oddly enough I didn't happen on my solo playthrough the night before.We managed to get though it eventually although the constant deaths made us miss out on a lot of Blish's dialogue which really sucked as it was my friends first time in the instance.

Was a balance patch a little while ago.. was it because some traits got changed?
