Mounts! I wonder how they'll do a twist on those.

I think they could unironically do 'commando' as an elite spec for Thief.

I like the direction they're taking with mounts, giving them unique abilities rather than "run fast" and "fly."

The thing I recommend is to pick an alt and then pick a specific but fairly basic goal. Like, I dunno, 'I'm gonna do the base game's story mode first' and then do that. You'll end up needing to do other odds and ends in the process of that, so by the time you finish the one thing, you'll have an idea what to do for the next.

This is actually what I ended up doing, and it is working remarkably well. Part of my problem was that logging onto a max level character that I hadn't played in years just felt odd, and, yes, I felt some decision paralysis. Imagine starting what is basically a new game at max level - it's daunting, and you don't have the attachment to your character that one would normally have at that point.

So I started a ranger with the goal of 100%ing zones and becoming a druid eventually. Having a great time! I figure this will put me at a good point to jump into the expansion content once it comes out.

I'm a fan of the "reveal things as close as possible to launch" approach, gotta say.

Welp, guess I'm hopping in to try Weaver, Mirage, and Holosmith next weekend, then. I really really really want to see how Weaver works and how you do the dual-attunement thing.

They said it was a preview weekend, which they sort of did with HoT, kinda like a beta that will probably have one zone.

I'm not too surprised, actually, given that GW2 isn't doing a linear progression from expansion to expansion. My guess is that, since you don't need anything from Heart of Thorns to play Path of Fire, they don't have too much incentive to bundle it. If you end up needing gliding, it's possible that'll be considered a Path of Fire mastery, too, or something like that.

Assuming they're not going to do a "you need X HoT masteries to progress in PoF" thing, I'd probably recommend that anyone who doesn't have HoT just jump into PoF if this is when they want to join. It's not quite as disconnected as GW1 expansions, granted.

Sadly I'm at work and have no time to watch 3 hours of anything, but on the bright side, that also means I can just wait until it's done and I can just zip around the VoD for the things I care about.
