Does anyone still poke their head into GW1 at all? I was looking at the calculator and realized I only need about 100 more zaishen keys and an oppressor weapon to hit 30.

I hope the ele sword will get some evades on the attacks, otherwise it sounds cool. Same with ranger and lack of pet, now I can fire the longbow while being infused with the spirit of the bear.

05/02/2017 – May 2nd Release Notes

Living World – Flashpoint
The White Mantle launched a surprise attack on Divinity’s Reach. Betrayed from within and assaulted from without, the city fought a battle on two fronts. Queen Jennah rose to the occasion, revealing just how powerful a mesmer she is, and with a monumental effort on the part of the humans and their allies, the city broke the siege.
Caudecus Beetlestone, once the legate minister, was commanding the White Mantle forces, bringing his plot to take the Krytan throne to its conclusion. He’d been working on it for decades, but his plan was foiled. Loyalists and allies of the queen found him in his mansion. Before he could be taken into custody, however, the snake murdered his own daughter, Demmi, an honorable agent of the Order of Whispers—and a friend to many.
Caudecus’s subsequent death was an unsatisfactory revenge for her loss. With their leader dead, the White Mantle forces fell into chaos, and the Seraph and Shining Blade picked off the stragglers with ease. In the wake of the battle, the Divinity’s Reach prison bulged with inmates. A search of Caudecus’s manor revealed one of Lazarus’s aspects—the objects into which he safeguarded portions of his soul.
This discovery brought Lazarus’s true identity into question. Who is Lazarus? Marjory continues to shadow him, but does she know what she’s getting herself into? That question will have to wait, because Taimi is on the verge of completing her antidragon device. The Elder Dragons grow stronger every day, and thus Tyria becomes ever more chaotic and dangerous. Taimi’s device could be the answer that saves the world.

New Legendary Torch: Flames of War
A new legendary weapon is now available. Speak with Grandmaster Craftsman Hobbs in Lion’s Arch to learn how to craft the new torch precursor, Liturgy, and forge the new legendary torch, Flames of War.

Raids

Legendary armor is now available in the game. Complete the final step in the collection to receive the Refined Envoy set. Combine that armor with the recipe components in the Mystic Forge to produce the most sought-after armor in the Guild Wars® world.

Rune Swapping: A key functional attraction of legendary armor is the ability to swap the stats of the item on the fly. Since runes and infusions are as impactful a choice as the stats on the armor, we have altered the behavior of these items to allow players to swap runes and infusions from legendary armor at will. Ascended armor will not be affected by this change.

Items
Blood Rubies, Jade Shards, Petrified Wood, and Winterberries have been added to material storage.

Structured Player vs. Player
Added the Draconis Mons Reward Track.

World vs. World

General
Added the Draconis Mons Reward Track.

The new Kasmeer’s Regal Outfit is available in the Style category of the Gem Store for 700 gems.
The new Vine-Touched Destroyer Glider Combo is available in the Style category of the Gem Store for 700 gems.

This is why Anet needs to fix their loving communication "issues" and stop leaving their customers in the dark. Look at how loving excited and thrilled and happy and hyped everyone is with these leaks. They need to take advantage of that!

Nah. How​ much you want to bet some of this will be changed? It's a work in progress, probably on test servers. They're trying out the new builds and new mechanics, but that doesn't mean they'll keep them. They may find poo poo isn't working well, isn't fun or isn't the direction they wanted to go with. So stuff will get changed, or flat out removed, causing the players to backlash on them. When it's early enough in development, never share poo poo. You just build hype, which almost always becomes unmanageable.

it's obviously going to suck for anet when they find out that leaks have happened but i'm pretty certain that at the end of it all people are just more excited than they were before. and anet still has the privilege of giving actual details about things when they officially reveal stuff.

there's only so much time they would have to completely revamp things. a decent estimate would be the expansion coming out before the year is over, if we go by the final living story chapter being out in a couple months, the expansion being announced, and coming out maybe like 3 or so months after that. if there's any changes i heavily doubt it's going to be anything major and just more along the lines of stuff like changing the name 'forge' to 'scrapper' like what happened with the first expansion.

They'll totally change things for the expansion, but they're not going to revamp major mechanics or maps. That's why this leak is accurate and has created hype. The maps are obviously nearing a completed state and we'll see those in the xpack, so hyyyyyyyype on that. And obviously guardian is getting axe for example, that kind of major thing won't change, so hyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyype on that!

It still amuses me that they felt the need to remove the human female bored idle animations (and still haven't returned them) because they felt making the appropriate yawning response to their cinematics would be somehow wrong.

Na it got removed cause some snowflakes got triggered about it, they female running animation is also different, more mannish because apparently girls running like girls is a bad thing.

The good thing about the rumored expansion is the lessons we can take from HoT, we know its going to be a gigantic pile of poo poo on launch so you're free to wait till it goes on sale.
