Aquaman's (2018) Atlantis where Jason Momoa first enters into the city and the underwater light show happens. If you don't know what I mean, you have to watch it. Something like that could possibly be the home of the Largos. If you watch the clip, what we need overall (for any new map) is that awe and wonder appreciating the beauty of the map design. Just look at Jason Momoa's face as he reacts to Atlantis. He's like a kid in those brief moments! We need to get back to that core-tyria, pre-expac wonder that we had so many years ago when we first explored this game. Skip to 1:05

Character name swap: switching names of two characters on one account. I know we have character name change, but we can't just change it to a character name we already have. We either have to delete a character to free up a name (not cool with old characters and birthday system), or we have to buy three character name changes to switch two character names: #1 for a fake name you need just to remove a name you like, #2 for the unused name to be used by the new character, #3 to fix the first character name from one you had because it was just a place holder to remove a previous name.

Hello my fellow 0.5% Super-ALT-aholics! We need more slots to prepare for Cantha lore, RP, cosplay, etc. I think 2 more slots is a bit conservative. We should have more slots based on the amount of new specs coming out, classes, and race(s) if any.

Although I answered the poll one way, I would like to see many that are presented and just somehow getting the overall game back to play as you like with the community on-board with the core ethos of the game. That is a dream though.

Additionally, they have already made all the major choices of the game, and you, the patron have already decided what you like and what you don't like. It's up to you to understand why you made the choice to feel as you do when the final product is presented.

The 100% rep guilds are living in the past. This is a feature of the game. If they want 100% they have to earn it. What are they going to do for you? I doubt those guilds will do everything in their power to replace the 5 guilds that specialize in the all the specific things you enjoy. How arrogant of any guild to assume they even can replace the varying and unique experiences of your chosen 5 guilds.

Thanks for the link! Is it even possible to be blacker than 0, 0, 0?

Do guild wars dyes have RGB ratings? OP is asking for a black that's blacker than Shadow Abyss (which I think would be pretty cool RGB: 0, 0, 0? Or is that too extreme?) but I don't really even know what Shadow Abyss is. Is Shadow Abyss RGB: 25, 25, 25? Is there a way to find out?

Beetle. Drifting with my 7-person drift guild. Map exploration with a new toon + beetle = waypoint dopamine effect. It's like the entire world has all these checkpoints: just put on some good music and drive.

Making characters is always fun for me as well. I JUST found out SB renegade is so addicting. It's more pew pew than LB ranger. Not as much as deadeye, but I don't like how with deadeye you're pretty much stationary like a sniper. I like to run and gun like the p/p thief but with more visual effects.

Metas are still the heart and soul of this game. I still do TT like an addict. The only thing keeping me from leading a squad or helping out officially with condi team these days is beetle (::laugh::). I do DS casually as well. I like jumping into a failing meta and getting my other buddies to save a run.

Story is still fun to go through with different characters. It really shows you the care they gave the game.

RP and Cosplay is still something I do casually as well.

In a nutshell, anything and everything in the open world keeps me here these days. Why be stuck in an instance when there's so much they designed for you out there?

EDIT: Map chat (in some places) is HILARIOUS. Lore is great too.

The male charr is fun. I want to get the shoe on a male charr.

Charr. Help them, please. How did they cram their whole foot in there?

XD They ARE clown shoes on Charr. Screenshot will not do it justice. See it for yourself. XD

It's hard to see the jewels in-game, but you can tell they put some effort into this skin. You'd need a closeup like that to see the front and back. It was a pleasant surprise for a year full of sadface in general.

Happy Wintersday, designers!

Thank you for making the Stylish Shoes Skin. 4 dye channels: outer rim, bottom, jewel, and jewel accent.

I wanted to cite other posts wanting party heel shoe skins (not wrestling boots), but I didn't think it was necessary.

I bought for myself, and my gifted my friends today.

For those of us who were waiting, this was a LONG time coming. If you went through the entire wardrobe in this game, you probably realized it is very wrestling-boot heavy. Definitions vary but for me a boot is anything that comes up above the ankle (boots with heels do not count). These were the first good-looking pair of actual heels (shoes that came up below the ankle and had a pointed heel). I've been using Aurora shoes for the majority of my female human toons, but they were short heels that maybe your grandma wore or that girls wore to school in a uniform. This game is a fantasy where we have all the ridiculous (but well-designed) skins we have now, but we didn't have party heels like this one that came out today.

Thank you to all of you who work tirelessly in our current environment and give us a break from the daily hardships we face with your artistry and design.

Let's make 2021 a good one.

Happy Wintersday 2020!

I know what you want. Stardew Valley. I played it, but felt it was a micromanagement simulator. GW2 should be more hands-off.

As I said in another post:

XYLO.7031

July 12, 2020

I would love to have another player to hop into the passenger seat of my beetle for a test spin. I will call it "Spill your guts Sundays" or "Throw-Up Thursdays" or "Toss your Cookies Tuesdays" or "Lose your Lunch Fridays." And with that said, I would also propose a special auto-emote for a passenger leaving the vehicle early or after an extended duration of spinning, drifting, and big air jumps. :smiley:

Hooray, Hooray! It's Wintersday!

I like SAB (for the game within the game, but as hugo said, unfinished) and Mad King (strong lore connection) too.

Wintersday is just universal and timeless; it needs to be the whole month.

:/ It needs to be earlier ESPECIALLY this year. Many of us are stuck at home anyways.

As is, the Male Norn makes an ideal Santa with the maximum-girthy-body type. Improvements are welcome and would make them simply larger bookahs.

I want to progress too, but I don't know the structure of this current 'episode' as it were. Wish I could tell you.

I would have preferred an earlier Wintersday over the lackluster quality of this episode. I hope it's not a sign of the expansion to come.

I will admit I saw this whole new page of masteries waiting to be obtained and was really happy. When I found out I could only get up to the second one and was forced to stop my progress. I researched and found that the next part in the story series was later as everyone has shared. I went into full sadface and logged off. Thank you for the sales, but I just won't be jumping on them like I have in years past. I cannot monetarily support this change. I had no problems with the previous living world season structure. This change wasn't ideal at least for me since we've been completely trained into the previous living world system with a new map, currency, story, events, etc. with each episode.

> For me, I think that this feeling can be dependent upon what content one enjoys playing. I'm really casual, so I'm never worried about playing META builds or having BiS gear or skills. I like to mix/match for a particular concept and see what works with what. I main a ranger and have been through soulbeast and druid more than once and now I'm back to core with sword/dagger as my main weapon set and having fun with it. Recently, I started back on my scourge and I know it isn't the "correct" build, but it's fun for me.

How are we not friends or even in the same guild? Between you and Hugo, I agree with most of what you say in the forums overall.

This is the right attitude for this game because that's how it always was: play as you want.

I'm excited for the new expansion. I hope we go back to this game's roots of playing as we want.

> What are the best ways to farm those 2 million exp required?

Dragonfall easy. Add XP boosts and it goes quicker: guild exp pot from tavern, ascended food, exp banners, and the xp item you get free from logins and BAM... easy 2 mil. Just under an hour with all that going on at Dragonfall meta.

Without boosts, my buddy said two full DF metas with chest event chain and lazy leeching (he said he mostly got bronze chests for event completion at dragonfall, lol).

Is it like a beetle boost? Or is it more like the skyscale 'dive' with 1?
