I powerfully don't care, there's a decent variety of fractals already.

This is what Guild Wars 2 does to people. If we don't count them lazily reusing content from the temporary living story dungeons they've only added one new fractal. It's OK to expect new content. It's OK to want more.

Of course I want more, but Anet has been the biggest loving disappointment with this game so I've given up hope. The much talked about WvW revamp now might not even enter beta until later this year now, lovely living story hype, a ridiculous amount of time between raid content for those who do that, PvP so boring that more people stream Kerbal Space Program, Your optimism is cute though bby :*

but for real though any time they bring up 'pro' pvp it's hard not to laugh and wonder why they're not focusing on something more worth their time

Either that new update is really massive, or the launcher decided to re-download everything after moving the folder to a new drive. Ugh.

The new update posted above isn't out yet, January 26.

Also, a new check box will be added to always show the names of objects you can interact with in the world, similar to the existing check boxes for player, NPC, and enemy names.

So i assume the not successful parts of the game are dungeons. And SAB.

The rally and revive changes in WvW are cool.

I can't wait until November when they finally revive and rally WvW.

I still don't know what fractal leaderboards are supposed to show us, is it a speed run thing or peoples levels???

Also, a lot of people have been doing fractals for way loving longer than just since HoT drop and have been playing the same maps for the last 2+ years. New maps is decent incentive for old-timers to start up again.

poo poo, gliding in all areas will totally make me play this every day.

Harrow posted:

I can't decide if "new fractals" will bring me back or if "nerfing Alacrity into the ground so Mesmers are no longer loved in groups" will push me away again.

Hope you saved some central Tyria mastery points!

(I didn't )

We’re adding expanded functionality to the Gliding Mastery line! If you’ve trained the Glider Basics Mastery in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns, your glider will let you glide a bit further…all the way back to Central Tyria. Your glider will work in any open-world map or city in Central Tyria once you’ve earned this Mastery ability.

Please enable gliding in WvW + air combat!

Not much other stuff to look forward to. Living story writing and characters are just so bad I can barely get through those to get my AP and progress the story. Except for Canach, he's cool. Maybe he and Zombie Tybalt could form my new "team". The next season will probably introduce Mar & Kas' wedding and progression includes getting them a present and flower bouquets.
