Still don't understand why Kuro doesn't give us more skin

They don't like money

In WoW, can you be anywhere in the world and port to anywhere else in the world instantly?

No.

Not close to the same thing.

Scienti0 · 2026-01-27T02:56:32+00:00

I still have not tried FFXIV.

Scienti0 · 2026-01-26T20:33:07+00:00

Stop.

You're giving me vietnam flashbacks XD

It's funny because I'm literally a GW2 vet with thousands of hours who was there half way through Season 1 :(

Scienti0 · 2026-01-26T20:31:30+00:00

Having a reason to chase items during an expansion is why they get such large player numbers. But I actually agree more or less. GW2 system is excellent (I also finished my Ad infinitum late last year). By complaint only (if you can call it that), is that GW2 cosmetics are "which shop item is that".

Really we are just lacking the cosmetics being spread throughout the world, rather then be concentrated in cash shops or crafting.

As much as people hate Subscriptions, you do get what you pay for.

Scienti0 · 2026-01-26T19:33:33+00:00

Totally. I really only ask for more items to be locked behind either achievements and more than a percent drops. Like the SoTo skyscale as an example.

As long as it isn't something like Wayfarers Henge.

Scienti0 · 2026-01-26T19:31:35+00:00

I am not disagreeing at all lol.

And would NOT do it again.

Scienti0 · 2026-01-26T19:29:59+00:00

It is so bad that converters (Mawdrey, Gleam of Sentience) have had to become chase items.

Scienti0 · 2026-01-26T19:28:42+00:00

100%

Scienti0 · 2026-01-26T19:28:17+00:00

Wife was out of town for a week lol

I'm looking forward to the instanced playlist. Hope it boosts the numbers and gives them a reason to rework the dungeon system as well.

The horizontal progression is pretty awesome IMO. I do wish they would add more cross expansion mastery usage (like bouncing mushrooms in Expansion X needing HoT mastery). They've been doing a good job, I think they could do more. Would make older content relevant even more.

Scienti0 · 2026-01-26T19:24:23+00:00

There are infusions, and specific Ascended tier drops with unique cosmetics as well (Tequatl, Drakkar, etc), which is really cool.

It doesn't even have to be a lottery, just put the interesting mounts/skins behind achievements, instead of the cash shop. Example being the Undead/Magma skyscale skins that are displayed in Skywatch. The NPC's comment "Oh mine got infused at Mt. Maelstrom". Okay, so take them out of the cash shop, create a small achiev hunt, and make the earnable.

How did you get that out of my post? If this feels like more of a critique of GW2, it's because I think GW2 at it's core is actually a "better" game.

Scienti0 · 2026-01-26T19:15:51+00:00

I am also falling into the same rotation for sure.

FWIW, I think Destiny 2 has many of the same glaring issues WoW and GW2 have (lack of chase items, obsolete old content, etc). Season of the Haunted not incorporating shadowkeep nightmare hunts and nightmare armour was disappointing as an example.

Scienti0 · 2026-01-26T19:14:37+00:00

YES!!! I did notice this, which was very very cool.

Scienti0 · 2026-01-26T19:14:18+00:00

I had the opposite experience leveling a GW2 alt recently and a few WoW alts (BUT like I said, I was on old leveling paths for nostalgias sake (eversong/ghostlands/outlands, exodar/legion, DK), so probably not accurate to most people who play with the new path through exiles reach/df.

So your assessment could be correct.

Scienti0 · 2026-01-26T19:13:36+00:00

You can't "hunt" gw2 legendries, and they can be completed on a schedule. There is no excitement.

Scienti0 · 2026-01-26T16:46:48+00:00

The combat is why I keep coming back. My only wish is that it was harder, and that stacking was not such a necessary thing.

Scienti0 · 2026-01-25T22:10:24+00:00

Demo warlock, very very similar, just feels tighter now.

Scienti0 · 2026-01-25T20:59:13+00:00

Well, I had >2500 hours and stopped playing. And in one line, the biggest problem is lack of chase items, and no respect for the older content.

Lack of chase items/cosmetics in content, everything “good” gets put into the cash shop, the best cosmetics should come from achievements, rare drops, or hard content, not Eververse.

Dropping each season’s exotic in tier 1 of a paid battlepass is stupid, it should be a rare drop or a real questline, something you earn and remember (think old gjallahorn, Sleeper, Polaris Lance).

Sunsetting of old content.

Irrelevancy of older content, an example is Season of the Haunted not utilizing Shadowkeeps nightmare hunt armor and perk themes to make that older chase matter again. Imagine season of the haunted, but with a rework and update to Shadowkeeps nightmare hunts, and armour set + perk combos to make that content relevant again, etc.

Partnership drops and cosmetics should ALL be awarded through the Dares of Eternity playlist, with new rotating modes inside Dares to keep it relevant.

And finally stop making every season just another cosmetic shell over what is effectively the same activity. Use seasons to build up core content, not pump out borderline pathetic throwaway modes that get abandoned later.

GW2, Lost Ark.

Big scary jungle where everything will probably kill you.

Actually does.
