I just kinda don't get the reasoning behind the dungeon change. Purposefully throwing a wrench into the works to promote something else? Kinda reminds me of the old system of temporary content, which as I remember people didn't enjoy.

Honestly I haven't met a single player who truly unironically enjoys UW combat (inc half a dozen goons posting to disagree with me) so telling your teams "don't bother with a second set of UW legends" makes perfect sense :shrug: People being upset about dungeons is understandable but being mad because there are no new UW legends seems like being contrary just to be contrary.

Also how would you top sharkspear, seriously :cool:

Honestly the underwater ones were the only ones I looking forward to, not because underwater is fun, but because they were the only good ones from the original batch and I am sure the second batch would be the same way.

That's not nearly as bad as it could have been but still annoying I guess. No dragonhunter for a while :(

Kinda sucks for people who play alot of characters, and hero challenges are maybe one of the more boring things in the game to grind out.So to have to do it over and over, just ugh. I want to play HOT with HOT stuff not with normal poo poo I've been playing for years now. :(

If I play three hours a week will I be able to get that stuff within the year?

Probably not.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:

do people feel entitled to max out the expansion by the end of the month or something

All the fun stuff is locked behind a shitload of grinding, so like I mean if you love grinding for that year go for it but yea. Most people probably wanted to actually play the elite specs during the expansion content, not after it.
Also there is a whole lot of content gated behind masteries, stuff which seems like it might be fun but I wont know for at least a month (most likely longer because I am already rather turned off).

But uh hopefully people will start playing it for reset. It's really easy to get lost in the little experience I had which was not super fun.

I dunno. I'm feeling really unmotivated to play, which is a shame. I just want to play Chronomancer and I'm sure I could just put my head down and grind it out and have it in a week of my usual playing but... I don't want to do that. Hunting down hero points isn't fun. But also, I better do it soon, before everyone else moves on and I have to beg goons to help me kill the champs. :ohdear:

Very much feeling this way. Right now without being able to play elite spec the only thing I enjoy from this expac so far is the art design on the maps, but even then playing them can be so goddamn annoying sometimes that I kinda never want to see verdant brink again.

edit: and action cam is rad, but that was some dude making some rad poo poo in his spare time.

Lost Precipice is great. Lonk and I got creative and made our way up to an area we haven't unlocked yet.



It's very pretty.

I just spent like 5 or 6 hours decorating/hiding pumpkins in the guild hall. It's so chill and the complete opposite of everything else in the expansion. More chill stuff in the future please.

Harrow posted:

Then again, maybe that "something to do" will be "unlock the next elite spec in the next expansion a little faster," who knows.)

Next expac it will be a totally different currency called "Elite hero points" and it will cost 1000.

Edit: also 250 stills seems like too many but I guess its better. Still not looking forward to doing one of the more boring things in the game on all alts though.

Harrow posted:

If you like WvW, you can sort of stockpile Proofs of Heroics to get hero points for your alts. If you don't, then at least you won't have to level masteries again and can pretty quickly snap up the mastery-gated hero points.

I guess that's true, MAG wvw has been super dead since release so I kinda forgot those things even existed. Hopefully it picks up soon.

The end of Dragon's Stand is rad and cool but gently caress the build up to it.

Really wish it look like half an hour to get to this phase rather than an hour+, it just makes me never want to do it again because it takes so godddamn long and is so repetitive.

SFD is the only reason I still log into this game, like I was burnt out on it before the expac but the expac has just made me dislike the game completely. So many dumb decisions it's mind boggling that the original Gw2 is as good as it is. Edit: or was I guess, they kinda gutted it a bit.

Anyways, "Now we are going to put banners in your house" makes me smile every time.



about month ago this happened randomly when I walked by some guy.

Also I think it's really dumb that there was no new EBG map to go along with the new Borderlands. Also it's really sad that WvW is pretty much dead/dying.

Honestly right now EBG is the only map you find people to fight on because it seems most don't like the new maps, so count your blessings I guess.

How'd the new armor/weapon skin situation end up working out in HoT anyways? People were predicting a lot of ugly plant sets. Does HoT even have much in the way of new skins at all?

It's pretty much all garbage and there isn't much of it.
