I liked Heart of Thorns best. My pc is a sylvari, and I liked the sylvari and jungle themes as well as the meta events. I also liked the Personal Story because it had some choices. I enjoyed Path of Fire as well. The mounts were particularly well done.

I didn't like LWS1 as well because it often had very little story because of the 2-week release schedule. I also didn't like Scarlet. She was too over-the-top for me. Also, I was stuck in an overflow during one of the big battles and didn't get to participate. I did like Canach's introduction as well as the Marionette boss.

I wish LWS3 would have taken the time to finish up the unfinished plots of HoT before moving on instead of just leaving them hanging. I also hated the Shining Blade oath part. I did like Knight of the Thorn, however.

LWS4 had some good parts but was also the start of the Braham show.

Icebrood Saga: I haven't finished the Prologue yet because of how much I dislike Braham. I am thinking of skipping the rest of Icebrood Saga but haven't decided yet.

Canach is my favorite.

Braham is in his early twenties, I think, and so not a teenager. He is still extremely annoying, though. :p

I also can't stand Braham and do not want to see him in another saga, season, or episode.

**Don't**

* Braham as the main companion in every quest. I can't stand him, and he has had two seasons now where he is the main companion.

* Heart quests. They are boring.

* HoT-style adventures

**Do**

* HoT-style metas

* Housing or upgraded home instance

* Story choices and dialogue choices

* More elite skills for ele

* Resolve or continue outstanding plots from previous seasons and expansions

To me Braham is the Jar Jar Binks of GW2, completely annoying and useless, yet somehow in every episode/scene. Also, he takes money that could be used for other characters. For example, they said they had no budget for Canach for last season's final episode. Yet, somehow budget is never an issue with Braham, who goes on and on every episode.

I agree 1000% with op about Braham. I am so sick of him.

Yes, I like HoT-style meta events and would like new ones added. :)

Not a fan of jumping puzzles.

Not excited to have yet another season with Braham as the focus. I don't care about his past and do not want to know anything more about him.

Here are a few questions for Season 5:

* Is there any chance of more interactivity in the dialogue (choices as well as flavor dialogue options)?

* Will housing be part of Season 5, or would that be something for an expansion?

* Will an expansion come after Season 5?

* Will Canach play a bigger role? How about Laranthir and the Pact?

* Will Braham play **less** of a part in Season 5? He is my least favorite of all but seemed to get the most time of anyone in Season 4.

* Will we get new cultural armor?

* Will we get new HoT-style meta events?

* Will we get new elite skills?

I like the Grove the best.

I voted for new storyline as what I like the most from the list. However, I like everything on the list with the exception of adventures.

I like HoT best because of the map meta events, the jungle setting, and the focus on the sylvari. I didn't like the adventures, though.

lol! Overall I like the Grove and sylvari home instance, but it is very strange that the npcs are standing around saying "uh-uh" all the time. Maybe they ran out of VO budget when they got to the Grove home instance?

Here is what I would like in the next expansion:

* Player housing (or expanded home instance) would be great :)

* Story: Add interactivity, branching dialogue, and choices

* Open world: A couple new large HoT-style metas

* Combat: Several new elite skills for ele

* New cultural armor

I voted for 6 because there were only 3 Living World episodes this year compared with 4 in 2017.

I would like more sylvari cultural armor as well.

No, I wouldn't want to have longer periods between living world releases. I do like the HoT map metas, though, and think it would be great to add more if they have time to do it in addition to the living world releases or with the next expansion.

> There's too much issues being left behind in the game, a ton of hanging plot points and loose ends since Season 2 (like the fate of the pale tree), there's a lot of parts of the world that need revisiting, and its disappointing to see that the devs keep dismissing their opportunities to go back and work on that.

This. What is happening with the Pale Tree?

Here is my feedback:

Likes:

* Large amount of content, especially for a free update

* Loved getting new armor

* Sun's Refuge -- I really like how the map and Sun's Refuge are connected and that when you do events, it is sometimes reflected in SR by getting new people, pets, etc.

* I especially liked the cutscene where Aurene saw different possible futures

Dislikes:

* Storm Tracker -- This should have been a powerful story instance considering what happened, but for me the mechanics and the bugs took a lot of the impact of the story away

* Lack of dialogue choices or interactivity in the story

* Braham -- Braham's subplot and its conclusion didn't work for me. I didn't want him as the pc's family. I think he should have been sent packing.

I am also not very keen on the jack-of-all-trades for ele and would like a more traditional aoe powerhouse mage/ele option that doesn't get nerfed.

I voted for HoT because I like the metas a lot. I also prefer jungle to desert. However, I didn't like how confusing the HoT maps were to navigate or the adventures.

Yes, overall I enjoy the living world episodes. However, there were a few individual episodes I didn't like, and I also would prefer more dialogue options and interactivity.

> 2. Perhaps equally as important, the way our characters *respond* to things should be prone to branching. The *results* would be the same, but the dialog tweaks a little, just a few lines. Not entire story missions like we got with Personal Story, just a few words on the situation.

This! I especially like deciding how the pc responds to events/people, and it doesn't have as high a cost as branching plots.

@"Twyn.7320" I agree branching dialogue adds a lot to a game! As for the character suggestions, I feel pretty much the opposite, though. I would like to see Braham leave permanently. Too much time has been wasted on him already this season. In contrast Canach is my favorite, so I would like him to play a bigger part.
