It'll be more Cantha bullshit to justify the art asset costs from EoD, with maybe something from Core Tyria so they can re-use those assets. They had a year to develop Gyala Delves. Most of the enemies are re-skins with spooky demon particle effects. So I'm thinking it's 2-3 maps, with 2 in Cantha and 1 somewhere in Core Tyria. Maybe centaur land. We'll get 2 new strikes. The hook will be motorcycles and gw2 subreddit will cum themselves at charr car.

i finished my 1st raid set. knocking out 10 LI a week or so it took a while. Next set needs 300 LI...... Ring needs 150 LI I still need the chest and legs for me WvW set, which i think i may never do. Its a job just to finish wood teir.. So i still need 1 full heavy set, and chest and legs for light. Im not a fan of raids either, but it is really the easiest set to get.

tbh even though it's probably the weakest so far the expansion name, as always, is really whatever. Nobody cares about expansion names after the intinal title drop and we all just abbreviate them anyway. they could call it Scrungly of Boingus and we'd all just call it SoB forever.

It undoubtedly hurts the pace of new content coming out as well as overtly taxes the artists to keep introducing new everything, and properly done asset re-use is barely noticeable at all. but yeah i'm expecting more cantha, not because of justifying the art costs or anything, but because it's almost certain the expansion was just re-worked plans for another living world season.

Mostly I fear that they'll introduce it, tie it to something like DE, and that'll still be too high of a hurdle for the general population so we'll get more toxic bullshit.

I just recently uninstalled the game after having it on my drives continuously from launch in 2012. If they add Dominion or Wizard's tower I will be tempted to reinstall. But if it's gonna be even more Commander PTSD with canthan NPC 's then no thanks.

drat it *reinstalls* Honestly, as someone who also played GW1 from 2005 or so, can I really skip Wizard's Tower no matter how much it would suck to actually see it for real and not just a mirage? Even if it's a fractal or something and not a playable map I gotta see it (please tell me it's a playable map) PVE legendary armor does sound sweet, though. Never did enough PvP to get it from there and I never did any raiding in GW2 having burnt out in it a lot while playing LoTRO. Although the release date clashes with Blasphemous 2 (just like EoD clashed with Elden Ring) so it'll give me time to see what it's about first. tarbrush posted:What is wizards tower? It's a famous landmark all the way from the days of GW1, with no real purpose except some mild lore. I guess they decided to use it now. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Wizard%27s_Tower TeaJay fucked around with this message at 17:25 on Jun 27, 2023 |

I think the wizard's tower is supposed to be a base of operations for the expansion or something. Open world legendaries will no doubt be a horrific grind, as they all are, but it's nice that the more casual players have an option now.

as someone who did a lot of casual and high end raiding in ff14, gw2 somehow manages to miss both marks. they're fun dungeons, but they're not something i'd want to do 10+ times or however many is needed for the legendary poo poo, i'd rather spend more time in drizzlewood or whatever. open world legendary is good news. hopefully the skin doesn't suck otoh the primary reason i have for wanting it is because i'm running low on skin change charges so i guess it's not that important lol

Plus a few new skills to cover cases where mechanics are mutually exclusive. Also, runes are going to just have stats and the special effects will be on a new "relic" slot so you can get cool effects without being tied to lovely stats. Also they will be introducing new weapons without a full spec in a later patch: Guardian: Pistol (main and off hand) Revenant: Scepter (main hand) Warrior: Staff Engineer: Short bow Ranger: Mace (main and off hand) Thief: Axe (main hand) Elementalist: Pistol (main hand) Mesmer: Rifle Necromancer: Sword (main and off hand)

Runes being changed to just stat bonuses and having a new equipment slot for the old 6-piece bonus. I like. Super hyped for the weapon stuff, but I hope it's more than just giving access to the normal skill bar. Some of those weapons are highly tied to the way their specs work. Like wtf are weaver hammer dual skills gonna look like?

They've said they're updating skills as required where they do spec-specific things. Also, there's going to be a beta of the initial weapon changes this weekend.

Was not expecting them to be launching it this soon  even the most optimistic streamers were thinking November or so.quote:As you complete objectives you’ll earn Astral Acclaim, a new account-wide currency, which can be exchanged for rewards of your choosing, such as new weapons and armor skins, a small selection of items previously exclusive to the gem store, crafting materials, gold, mystic coins, legendary crafting starter kits, and more. Those rewards will refresh on a quarterly basis—but fear not! As new items cycle in, any Wizard’s Vault–exclusive rewards will simply move into a legacy section of the vault, where they’ll remain available for the same type of currency indefinitely. Our goal is for Wizard’s Vault rewards are meant to be attainable through regular, normal play; there are no paid upgrades or progression skips, and the legacy section exists to take the time pressure off and allow players to catch up if they take a break. A battle pass that does not suck/is not p2w. Pretty cool.
