Hey I found the inspiration for the Asura, just imagine them all speaking in Andy Serkis' voice and Asura become a lot better/funnier.

I know it won't happen, but some tiny sliver of me hopes for playable margonites because I always loved their design. Plus, their god has been dead for ages, if any of them are still around, they've had a lot of time to do some soul searching (and would be totally on board for killing all the human gods).

The company that struggles to actually make more than a handful armor sets for an expansion because ~it's hard~ is supposed to release an entirely new race. Sure buddy :v:

They will if they can just slap a new head on the default human/norn/sylvari rig.

So what are the chances that Jennah and Anise are Lyssa. Or Jennah is Lyssa, and Anise/E is Livia.

Yes, but they'd be no less so on board now. If any are still around, they probably calmed down a bit since Abaddon ate it, but I doubt they forgave the human gods for, y'know, shoving them in the torture dimension.

All of them. They all unlock cool new zones. The boss fight for head of the snake is probably the worst designed thing I've ever seen in GW2, though.

You're just not doing it right. It was meant to be experienced while on acid.

I mean, that would make it more enjoyable, but no easier to see the awful instant-down stuff thanks to being stuck in extremely cramped quarters with GW2's schizophrenic camera.

GRANTED, it certainly didn't help that I did it with my zerker mesmer, but that's only been a minor impediment to all other story stuff up to that point.

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



At this point I think we are numb to the occasional boss fight with terrible mechanics out of the story, that and alt+tabbing while people talk and coming back to read it later. I am hopeful for this last chapter though, moving on from dragons opens up a lot of possibilities.

They patched it to make it easier. I did it a couple of weeks after that and just ran in a circle with three phantasms up.

I'd say 2, 4, & 5 were pretty disappointing. Although if you're going all in on the story then 5 is pretty mandatory.

My opinion of 2 is probably colored by the fact that it's really annoying to get around without Ley Line gliding and has that god awful jumping puzzle.

4 just felt very bland and felt like the writing was just in a "let's get this arc over with" mode.

5 I just didn't like the zone. It may not be as bad as Tangled Depths but something about the layout took me a lot longer to figure out and even now I depend on working off a couple key points as a starting location for wherever I need to go.

I like that Orr is getting an update finally. Now if they would do a makeover on the old maps considering life should be returning there after personal story.

The idea now is that maps are supposed to be locked in a timeframe. They did that with LS1 and it was generally bad.

They could use some kind of phasing technology, where people who had finished the story would see the new version of Orr (kinda like with the Trahearne memorial) but who are we kidding, it would probably be a technical nightmare and they won't be arsed anyway

They're good & fun, I was mostly disappointed in the Elite Spec because it doesn't change much about the class. They're good at killing things and very frail.

If you only deleted them recently and assuming nothing else happened, you could contact Support at the website and see if they can bring them back: sometime in the past year they figured out the right part of arcane server trickery to do such things.
