Cynder.2509 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Also there's an icy breath effect added when the character breathes out along with the wind and snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galmac.4680 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Hard to see if you have the winter presence shoulders and already snow flakes around you. At least this time this new emote is NOT the reward for the new meta achievement. Whoohoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoohoo.No, instead it's an achievement for Ep 4 of the Icebrood Saga that requires you to have done the meta achievement for Ep2 of the Icebrood Saga, as after all you cannot complete Shiver at the Peaks without the /Shiver emote.I don't really see that as an improvement....

Fueki.4753 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 If it still isn't on a reward track for PvP and/or WvW, nothing has changed and thus it's still not worth any attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheader.6827 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I find it a rather lazy design. Out of the countless emote potential they decided to reuse a recent one and add a bit of frosty breath to it. Its really uneventful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll note that since /rockout, none of the released emotes have appeared in the reward tracks, but could only be earned by completing the meta achievement .

You'll note that since /rockout, none of the released emotes have appeared in the reward tracks, but could only be earned by completing the meta achievement .And that's the problem.Anet could easily use them as incentives for people to repopulate PvP a bit.There is no meaningful reason behind barricading emotes behind Meta Achievements.The people who would grind their brains out to complete that achievement anyway will complete it and nearly everyone else won't complete it.And then there also are the people who have strong negative opinions about Arenanet due to this.There is not a sliver of an upside for Arenanet to do it, but a big downside for many players.
