If i had someone that used axes regularly i'd totally go for that axe. Only one is rev in the offhand i guess, but the footprints would get overwritten by the mainhand bolt.

I know the PvP leagues are getting a lot of poo poo lately, but wow PvP in this game can be an absolute blast if you get somewhat close matchups. I just graduated from unranked to ranked tonight and out of some 8 games only 1 was a steamroll. Seems to help a lot if you try to open some communication with the other randoms as well, just basic things like "4 mid 1 home?" etc helps to get them talking.

Very happy with it - the footprints, unsheathe effects, and space arms are all amazing.

That said, I don't think I'll ever want to craft a HoT legendary ever again.

Awesome! Congratulations on getting it!

Doe the starry arm effect effectively change your character's arm texture or something? Could I bother you ingame with some questions about the axe?

I stopped playing just before Heart of Thorns came out, how essential is it on a scale from "meh" to "whee"? It seems like it's nearly worth it just for Mastery, but the pricetag kinda bugs me.

Still 'meh'. Mastery is just big xp grind plus getting Mastery Points, new regions are just repetitive meta event grind fest, shiny stuffs are locked behind grind fest, even sPvP is grind fest (let's not talk about how lovely sPvP really is :v:).

I'd say the thread title just about sums it up. It has good ideas, but the way they're implemented has a lot of people feeling down on the expansion overall. Lessee...

  • The story is fairly well done, but short and small in scope. It's an upgrade over the old personal story though. Very similar to LS season 2 in presentation.
  • New maps are basically like Silverwastes. Each has a huge map wide event that everyone takes part in, with varying difficulty to complete. Not nearly as chill and exploration focused as core maps. Gliding is hella fun though.
  • Revenant (Herald) is cool and good in most game modes. Currently kinda OP in some places, even.
  • Elite Specializations for the most part are very good, to the point of power creep. Almost all classes are better off running their new spec in most game modes, aside from a few stinkers (Daredevil especially.)
  • Masteries are neat, but are very grindy in practice. They don't really feel that metroidvania, as much as they just lock a few map completion targets here an there, and some collections are locked behind them.
  • Legendary collections are cool when they work, but very expensive. They also have multiple issues with targets where you have to fail events, leading to some angry people.
  • Guild halls look nice, but are massively expensive and grindy to upgrade, as are their decorations.
  • Dungeons are hosed with their rewards slashed, nobody really does them anymore.
  • Fractals are hosed with their rewards slashed, and half of the planned features and fixes coming Soon (tm)!
  • The first released Raid wing is kinda fun if you're in to that sort of content, legit challenging compared to all previous PvE
  • New WvW maps are huge and kinda hated, seems like WvW is dead or dying on most tiers in EU. Dunno what is up in the US.
  • Dunno anything about sPvP, but they added more ESPORTS and leagues to it, I guess.

So, for some odd and possibly bizare reason, I can't buy Heart of Thorns, because I'm sitting in Macau, but my credit card is from back home in Denmark.

And for some odd reason, Denmark isn't on the list of countries when I try to pay, I cannot fathom why.

Any where else I can pick up a digital copy?

I'm right now at the point where every collection wants 500-1000 map currency per pointless item, or 250-500 of each.
Which starts to run it's welcome thin because I've already done every event and the only way to get more is to show up at the right time on a populated map and do those same events again and again.

Oh good, glad I can keep my money. :)

This is unrelated and a bit silly, since I know the answer in GW2 is "Tell everyone to play whatever the heck they want," but I'm starting a Mesmer, and I'm leveling him with two friends since I don't want to hate myself. Is there any obvious 3-class synergy that would make it particularly fun? I know warrior-elementalist can set up some nice combos, but I never thought about how you'd mix a third guy in.

We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust.



There's a new dev in charge of the legacy collections, and he posted on reddit to lay out his goals. One of them being that items are no longer requiring events to fail. So that is moving in the right direction, and he seems cool. ANet never communicates as much or as often as we would like, but they have been making changes gradually since the HoT launch to fix or ease things we dislike.

Thanks! Yes, there's a starry texture on your arms along with a gold glow emanating from them. It's really neat, IMO. My account is Markkei.5243 if you have any questions!

There's one thing about Astralaria that I'm not sure whether I like or dislike - when sheathed, it loses its starry effect. On the one hand, it makes for some really neat unsheathes coupled with a sound effect and everything, on the other hand it's not really noticeable when sheathed and could probably be mistaken for its precursor or something.

E: This is the best, the space arms stay when you dance if Astralaria is unsheathed.

Is there a...map, I guess, or similar providing a nice route to round up enough (or as much as possible) of the mats for spiritwood planks/deldrimor ingots per day? I know for iron there's that canyon thing in the NW of Brisban but it'd be great if I could streamline, I guess, the process.
