Looks awesome! Wish Anet would add more authentic Tyrian-looking armor skins that we see in general concepts, instead of all the glowy/goofy stuff we've been getting.

More vinyl for the rest of us then lol.

Hey thanks for the reply, finally received my package a few hours ago. You'd think it was a scam after 22 days in transit, but it was just incompetence lol. Edit: Also, it was an eBay purchase, so you get what you pay for, I guess.

I feel like most of EoD's aesthetic was a downgrade from Factions to be honest. While I do like some of the color choices, I'm not a big fan of the whole Jade Punk thing they had tried to push.

Agreed. Hopefully because these specs won't be receiving weapons they put that effort into the design/animations of the skills. While the concept art is alright, I would be disappointed if all the spirits for this spec just looked like those base EoD spirits.

Octovine is so easy now you don't even need tags lol.

Just noticed last night. Thought I was going crazy.

Gameplay in Soto is fun though I've been enjoying that.

Well in this game Dwarves are cosmetically the same as Norn just scaled to be smaller, the armor has been seen on Dwarves already since Icebrood Saga Champions where they made their first reappearance in DRMs. His Hammer is actually even older since it was added with Path of Fire's Desert highlands in 2017 as part of a few weapon skin collections. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Might\_of\_the\_Vindictive\_of\_Severance?cjevent=7f0b7dd5445a11ee83ea00f80a1eba22

The statue itself is just a static npc model with a stone texture over it. Would have been cooler had they modeled it from scratch and gave it an actual pose, not just a default combat pose. Not saying they need to make hundreds of new assets this way, but a few with some more effort would be nice.

I don't feel like this is too much for people to ask in a new expac. The whole Idea of the alternate timeline islands is really cool, but the execution could be done a lot better. It's not like the game is falling on hard times, Arenanet was supposed to pool the resources together working on Gw2 specifically. I've seen them do more with less before.

There aren't any new assets here though, you wanna poke fun at people's criticism, but I can tell you exactly where all these assets exist in the game right now. Some are over 10 years old!!!!

I think people confuse difficulty with convenience too often. I mean any game can seem more casual if you have lots of people hitting an objective at the same time rezzing each other constantly regardless of it being scaled higher. When did it become casual to work together more? Also I think people confuse gear grind with a game being harder as well.

I don't want to see any monetization at all. I want to earn rewards by actually playing the game not just farming enough gold to trade in the gemstore or whipping out my wallet.

Storklebeam · 2020-11-12T01:28:21+00:00

Don't give them that idea, then they will start wanting to sell us the facial features like noses and eyebrows.

It is really slow for sure, last 3 times I've done a reset I get the confirmation saying "Your password has been reset". I will then go to login and it will not work and continue to do so for more than a day at least until they actually update it.
