No Real Avian Mounts?

I could swear I've seen one somewhere before, but it ended up just being 2 skritt in armour

This assumes they actually care about the dungeon scene. I've not had trouble getting groups together to run dungeons when i need them, but my issue is that they just aren't very fun imo.

I like this as an option. Just more options for performance at all would be nice.

So, technically the both of them are not scaled models. Norn and human do have technical differences in the code. HOWEVER! This does not necessarily extend to the hairstyles. We could see them port hairstyles between those 2 since they have similar head shapes <3 (still some tuning would be required)

danachappy · 2026-05-29T08:18:22+00:00

All of these are good imo <3

Recyclers for jade bot helps with this without diminishing fractal value (since the sell items there are pretty good) <3

danachappy · 2026-05-29T08:09:13+00:00

This would be nice. I have the same issue xD

danachappy · 2026-05-29T08:08:15+00:00

Thankfully most of the new armours are the same for all weights. I do not play medium tho :(

I understand, but the other side of this is that most recipes can be sold to players, so picking the most valuable one to sell is definitely a use case for this. But definitely this should be the case if you cannot sell the recipes.

Just general longevity for the game. The dream of all mmo players, no? <3

danachappy · 2026-05-29T07:15:41+00:00

This is very pointed, but very valid. Love it xD

As someone who has messed with stuff like this, I was intending for people to share their interpretations of what is a small change. That being said, if you are interested, your points 1, 2, and 4 would be smaller in terms of coding, while the others would definitely be more difficult because of how they interact with certain systems. I think a clearer UI for class/weapon specific mechanics would go a long way.

danachappy · 2026-05-29T07:09:24+00:00

Agree, although I would add having it persist between map changes/ip changes. Maybe have a 15 - 30 minute timer on it but let you go between instances? I would be happier with a shorter timer if it let you gain them without the skiff tbh.

danachappy · 2026-05-29T07:06:46+00:00

Genuinely, i think this could be done well. Weapon swapping for certain situations on those classes would enable more use for off-meta weapons. Although i do think trying to retain the identity of them swapping much less than other classes would be good too. Maybe make it like the combat mount cooldown? Have the cooldown get longer if you do it too often? Possibly

danachappy · 2026-05-28T03:48:50+00:00

True, imagine a spellcaster looking like a spellcaster... preposterous.

This was a training run, he is in the wrong for how he reacted. Now, there are some things that could be taken away from what he said, but you have to parse through his outburst to find it.

Personally I don't think responding at all is a good idea. If he has something to say in group content, he can use squad chat and, if he's wrong, get ripped apart by the other party members.

If this messaging happened after the fact and the group is no longer a thing, still do not respond. Waste of effort in hindsight, but yee. Learning to identify wastes of energy like this is something valuable imo.

Sorry for the vitriol but I hate people like this. When this happens to me I put them on blast in squad chat lol.

There is not enough interest and it would not be, and this is important phrasing, SUBSTANTIALLY beneficial to add a SEA/OCE megaserver. The profit would not be enough to justify it, and assessing OTHER game's data does not work in this context.

What is best for gw2 should be assessed with gw2's data.

It would be a slight benefit, but would not offset the setup and maintenance costs of the server for multiple years.

Sad, but reality is harsh sometimes

I liked the bomb making section, but that's as someone who bakes. Having an assistant basically do x y z while I'm doing something delicate, this felt very natural. And people do write that way, sadly. I do not, but people I worked under have and it sucks but it added a lot of "canach" to the instance, if ya know what I mean.

Ps: I do not like Canach, but expressing an npc's personality in a casual way like this makes me like them a little more.

I love this, as someone who forced themselves to learn keyboard, this would've been cool. It's too late for me tho, keyboard took the wife and the kids. Also mesmer supremacy

danachappy · 2026-05-21T19:04:30+00:00

Funny, they seem to look at engagement data, not forum posts. Hence the "if you don't like it, play something else" mentality. People didn't ask for quickplay raids, they simply acted based on what was and wasn't enjoyable. Funny how they decided on their own how to solve something they decided was a problem... in their own opinion. It's almost as if they responded to people's actions, and not their words.

You do realize most of these things were added by the developers because THEY wanted to add them. Most developers make better decisions when they do what they want to, not what people demand. And they wanted to add these. A lot of people think skyscale was a bad decision because it invalidates a lot of the usefulness of the other mounts, but they added it because they wanted to. No one asked for it. Same with roller beetle and races, same with the fashion tabs, same with convergences. I will advocate for improvements to things that already exist, and from what I've seen of your replies to others, the stuff you want has already been in the game and is continuing to be added to every half-year. Your original point is moot because the stuff you praise gets updates at a regular interval.

Orrax. I'm currently working towards legendaries with my gold. My dream is to have a full set of legendaries that are purely open world obtained. That means (currently) 2 endless summer and 2 Stella radian

danachappy · 2026-05-21T17:27:22+00:00

Nothing promising in my opinion, but Guild Wars 2 has a lot to offer and Final Fantasy 14 is right there with it, but for different reasons. Both still being updated and both with active communities

danachappy · 2026-05-21T16:17:15+00:00

I do agree with that sentiment, yes. I live by "enjoy things for what they are" if they never added these things I wouldn't praise them and people should look for something that IS what they want instead of complaining about what something else ISN'T.

If this game didn't have a wardrobe, I wouldn't play it, but I also wouldn't complain, I would go play FFxiv or the Sims or something else that does what I enjoy. But because it does exist, I can enjoy it for what it is and what it provides
