I just hope i don't have to do any jumping puzzles like the one from mad king, i never completed it. You get the gobbler and the Wintersday Tree node in your home instance as rewards for the annual achievement quests. It does involve jumping puzzles but they are much much easier than the Mad King's since that's one of the hardest if not the hardest jumping puzzle in the game. I'd recommend using a thief or mesmer during puzzles to drop portals as your own checkpoints and keep in mind if there's other people playing those classes who get to the end they can port you too.

Up until now they've said that everything they've done is minimal and backend, Maybe I'm overly optimistic but it does seem like they want to finally bring alliances with the new expansion.

Next Update is the 15th and that's usually when the Festival starts so that's probably the best bet.

Yes I'm on a different server and getting crashes too :( rip pips

I wish they kept to this. It didn't even have to be big patches like they said but even if just to take care of problematic stuff and test buff underused things in small but frequent patches. Playing the same Meta for months on end is boring.

Diamond, I try to complete the full track every week to get the Tickets since I'm working on Legendaries and the track is the only way to get them.

For the most part I'm not a fan of small group instanced content. There's some groups that are chill but I've had a couple bad experiences that I don't really bother with it anymore.

It's possible they could be keeping the response missions to have them spread out over the coming months but that would just mean that there's other content planned in-between now and the next chapter. Personally I think they're keeping to their biweekly updates and adding in the in-between content with that, so December 1st. If it's the DRMs or something else I don't know. But this is all just speculation, It'd be nice for the Devs to let us know what is going on.

As much As I'd love to shoot a Skyscale from the sky or dive into battle on a Griffon, adding more mounts would require a lot of balance and reworks of the maps. Considering the amount of attention WvW gets It's safe to say that this would never happen.

I do think that the Core Maps need a visual Update, those maps are what peoples first impressions of the game are and in my opinion look very dated and don't reflect how beautiful the newer areas are. I'm not saying to rebuild from the ground up but there's plenty of Assets from the past few years that they could swap out for older ones and then just update the lighting and terrain.

I don't think WvW needs regular content updates but I do agree that the old Maps desperately need an Update, They look very dated and there's plenty of assets from Red Boarder Lands that could be reused. After that though, The players make the content for the most part and If we got regular balance patches the gameplay wouldn't go stale.

My Main has Medium armor so I stick to Outfits.

I think they expected the missions to be played a lot more than people have. Personally, I did 4 total. 3 of them were part of the story and I tried one again the next day but I just can't see myself doing them again.

> @"Super Hayes.6890" said: > Isn't there still unreleased content for this episode? I hit a point where I have to wait like six days or something to continue. Does the release conclude after that? I feel like I've missed something. You've completed all there is for now, All we do now is wait. There's going to be I think 6 more missions and I assume some story to go along with it released possibly weekly between now and January.

Sadly, I'm Doubtful we'll be getting a decent balance patch anytime soon. On stream someone from the Balance Team said the teams working on Especs for the expansion. If I had to guess there's very few if any working on current balance.

To me It feels like we actually got 4 instances within the story and the Devs just decided to make 3 of them repeatable with a new name to fill out content even though gameplay wise they are time consuming and boring to play. I doubt even the most casual Players are rejoicing in this content

I Enjoyed it as a Story Chapter even if it was pretty short and the whole suddenly trusting Jormag was a little questionable. The dialog was great. It was a nice way to acknowledge primordus beginning to wake up. It was nice to play once during the story but honestly I think that's where those instances should've stayed.

Griffon by far

I had fun but I'm not going to lie, I was disappointed. I know there's more to come in the coming weeks but If it's focused on the response missions then I've kind of lost interest. The Missions themselves I don't see myself doing again, They're fun to do once for the story but that's just it, they're a repeatable story instance that to me are quite boring to replay and are not rewarding. My hope is this is all just a kind of prologue building up primordus in the Chapter for a much bigger finale.

I think that's it for now. The first half of the trailer is everything we got today and the second half is going to be released between now and the next chapter in January.

> @"Tiagoht.7549" said: > A big buff to the big blobs out there. Another nerf based on nothing but the cries of some players. The reason people didn't like it was because it was a huge benefit to blobs, This change makes it a defensive tool so helps out more against blobs than anything.

Yes!!! Fantastic news

You can earn gold in many different ways, The Most profitable is probably is to farm/repeat Meta events like Drizzlewood, Silverwastes or DragonFall. There's a lot of different guides on youtube that could help you find which way you enjoy the most. For Tomes of Knowledge, PVP and WVW are great ways to farm them.
