New expansion otw since this thread was last posted on so who knows. A new race would be fun as long as the expansion comes with a character slot.

I prefer the current system. I would have no problem with this existing in addition to what is already there.

Cool thread! I appreciate the dev response. I find this kind of insight into the making of the game really fun ?

I gave up on AP a long time ago. It should be points you accumulate and then spend on rewards you want. I want the radiant armor set, nothing else. Cap or no cap doesn't matter at all imo. I just hate the way AP rewards are structured.

Oh, and I want the stick figures back from GW1

The capitol city idea sounds great! Add a novelty each year that allows those of us that enjoy the effect year round. A tonic obtainable once a year on April 1st would promote the novelty system. So much potential for fun here if done right. I sympathize for the players that don't enjoy this and there should be a built in measure for them to not participate.

I thought the 1 shot mechanic was intended. It was fun that way imo cause you had that "oh crap, run" moment that made the event feel more exciting.

That is an impressive amount of damage

Didn't realize this was private. I voted 10!

Critique all you want. My votes on these matters are always based on how much fun I had.

> @"Sylvyn.4750" said: > Allow extra mounts just on DBL, since both vertical relief and horizontal distances are greater, it's needed. Plus, would give DBL an extra perk to get more people playing on it. Flying mounts could have the same no-fly zones as gliders to keep them in check. Like springer and griffon? Skyscale would be funny for people who are afk'ing when a territory changes hands. Instant dismount causing random bodies to fall from the sky when an objective is flipped ?

> @"Sviel.7493" said: > Both 2019 and 2020 passed in their entirety without a peep from Anet. It might be time to call in a health and safety check... Yes, it is 2021 and an expansion is on the way. It truly would be appreciated if someone said something. The assumption that makes the most sense to me is that alliance work died when the lay offs happened. If so then just say it.

If alliances are never to come then let's do this and see what happens. I mean, good bye balance balance but it would be entertaining and would massively shift gameplay. Seriously, the warclaw could be shifted completely to PvE with no mounts in WvW and that would be better than the state it's in now. > > i mean, just bc they make bad decisions doesn't mean we should encourage anet to completely mess it all up... how would u ever balance the beetle speeder or the skyscale lmfao... not to mention the crazy lags that skyscale/griffon would create and the absurd speed of the beetle. also... u realize people could just fly into every keeps inner with flying mounts, yes? > > plus, the warclaw would be even more useless then... pvE will be always part of Wvw, but it will never become the major part of it. NPCs exist kinda to annoy everyone, and in case of keep guard/lords its even quite okayish, but we don't need to overdo it but making this full pepega pirateship... it's yet casual enough on most servers. u see for yourself how many people also here think ppt = winning... probably not many of them that have even rank 1k (or got the ranks from old times where k-train on eotm for levelgrind existed) Don't get me wrong, my idea is terrible. I just got so frustrated with my warclaw a few weeks ago that I started running a warrior build with speed runes that made it completely unecessary to use the mount. My warhorn even grants barrier to bypass the "meat shield" and gives it to allies. I want a mount in WvW but the only one available is extremely underwhelming in its current state. I would love even just an hour of all mounts lol. You are right about the issues it would cause. There is still a small part of me that would enjoy the chaos of flying mounts in WvW ?

That is funny!

These changes seem like they'll be for the best. I always thought the different methods of acquisition for different stats was weird anyway. And the infusions! Nothing should ever be so rare that its value exceeds the trading post's ability to support it.

Honestly, I feel like we can add all mounts to WvW at this point. Shake it up! If alliances are never to come then let's do this and see what happens. I mean, good bye balance balance but it would be entertaining and would massively shift gameplay. Seriously, the warclaw could be shifted completely to PvE with no mounts in WvW and that would be better than the state it's in now.

I have seen season packs for sale on my kid's accounts before. The price was adjusted for episodes they already had. I don't know if that option is always in the gem store or if it phases in and out like the cosmetics.

I want expansions to come with new classes. That has always been what excited me most about expansions. HoT had one and PoF had zero. This has been my biggest disappointment with GW2. Elite specs are fun but they don't quite scratch that itch. I would rather see new classes and never get another elite spec again. Each new class can come out with two elite specs to keep things on par with existing classes. And please please please do not give another mechanic like the Rev's pre determined utility skills bar. That killed the class for me.

Show some brief clips of maps, some concept art, a few elite specs a month leading up to it. A teaser for whatever feature they're adding, if there is one. Something. Yes please. I'm ready for the hype!

I always have found that building my own PC is much cheaper than anything Apple offers.

> @"Eloc Freidon.5692" said: > Someone complained on the forums about having the ability to buy mastery experience points. This is how they can do that. I think they were referring to the actual mastery points and not the experience these consumables provide.

30 days is reasonable and other players have stated above that there is a workaround. I'm not referring to my suggestion to convert to PC though it would work.

The answer to this question is always yes!
