Tyncale.1629

I like the idea and I am too tired to think of ways how this would break the game\the fun of others\Anets budget, so I will leave that to others. Thumbs up from me.

The beautiful world, it's why I forgive them all the stuff I don't like. I am doing a lot of repeat stuff with my Alt accounts and the reason it never really gets old is because I still enjoy the vibrant world so much, the NPC's, the dialogue, the DE's, the nooks and crannies, the Vista's.

These days, jumping puzzles add to the social aspect of the game, now that we have Pink to portal us to the daily JP's. I feel there is little reason for social interaction in these days in modern MMO's unless you hole up in a Guild for Raids or something, and seeing Pink do their friendly Community service, with all the "ty's" and "awesome, thanks" in chat always warms my heart a little bit. Thank you Pink! Also leading the way/helping others is a thing players often do with a puzzle, if they are actually doing them. I find it is a pretty social feature.

I support it too, however I do not recognize the problems the OP is having joining a Meta. Must be another US vs Euro thing, there are always Meta's going on in Europe pretty much during the entire afternoon and evening, back to back. There are worse Meta's to join, the Zealots in Vabbi come to mind.

I like your drawings! I think there are some good ideas there for new mounts, Anet should look at them. The Moa is great, and I can totally see it trying to get airborne, frantically flapping its wings......and then fall down again. Only problem is that Moa's while moving, do not hop, but run. So they could not really use the Springer base model I think. But good stuff. As for the expac, I am sure we will see new Mount skins, the Celestial Dragon could very well be one of them. Totally new Mounts with different abilities, not so much. Maybe a Tunneler, that can truly go stealth, but very slow. Limited usefulness though.

The General Discussion Forum should be renamed into "Personal Wishes and Pet Peeves".

Using Reshade with Tekkits settings completely overhauled the look of the game for me. It is crisp, sharp, beautiful colors and far away vista's and none of that glowy, blurry bloomy shit anymore.

My way of keeping the game fresh is to have a lot of Alt accounts. I feel progress with my Main account is currently only possible through grinds that I am not interested in (Weaponcollections and associated achievements with such grindy content) so I am just redoing content and Masteries with Alt accounts. I have 7 Legendary Weapons and 2 legendary trinkets so I feel I have reached end-game there too with my Main account, since I do not Raid or do PvP (only for GoB).

This could be something for a new mount then. Maybe a wyvern? How about a big caterpillar that you could ride with 5 people, a whole group? I can see a Falkor like Mount (dragonlike) originating from Kantha. [https://artstation.com/artwork/Dx3210](https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Dx3210)

I have several Alt accounts that I also use for key-runs. If I win a skin with that account for a Mount that I do not have, it feel like it's the perfect incentive to start the quest for that mount. I won that horrible Pegasus skin once, and now one of my Alt accounts has the Griffon. :) Just shows how different people approach the game. Doing such content on an Alt account is much more fun for me then for instance grinding all LW Weapon collections on my Main account. No way I will do that, just like the OP would not consider doing the Skyscale quest. Which, btw, I am doing on ALL my alt accounts, just because it is such a good mount, and I like the quest too.

I agree a Charr looks silly on a raptor but I am glad they do not scale with the big Races. They would be pretty huge, up to the point of annoying. I feel that my Human has the perfect size for my Raptor. He looks especially great on my Juggernaut, but I think that is about as large as Mounts should be, I often feel hesitant popping my Juggernaut in a crowd. But if you are a char and want to look not so ridiculous on a raptor, buy the Juggernaut. :)

Very glad they did not add another Strike Mission. At least these Dragon missions are casual, if not a slog. The grind for mats for the weapons is just another big NO for me, but I guess that goes for any LW weapon collection. Not my thing. Story, boring. The whole Faction thing, to which I was kinda looking forward to, appears to be another forgettable gimmicky feature that only applies to the Dragon missions, i.e. nothing that adds to the gameplay of other modes or Open World. What was I thinking, silly me. Best addition to the game in the last 6 months: the Portable United Legions Waystation. I pop these regularly. If people only knew what they were for.

This is going to be a race between the Skyscale, and then some mount for the people who haven't gotten the Skyscale yet(for some reason). And then a few votes from people who DO have the Skyscale, but voted for another mount, and will be sure to tell us about it.

If you want dead, go walk in the Qeynos newbie grounds in Everquest. I actually log into Everquest from time to time, in that particular zone and listen to the very sad music that starts to play when you come near a stone marker. A zone dead for 15+ years, the memories, that music, it's like a requiem. Lovely. Nothing wrong with a dead MMO, as long as you have the memories(and are a sentimental fool). Actually GW2 does a *way* too good job of luring players into cities and zones that have been around for all 8 years. How will I ever be melancholic in Tyria!?

I voted no, because I want them to put resources in a regular expansion. A lot of people simply would not buy the expansion if it was truly, exlusively PvP/WvW. If there would be *some* PvE features in it, people would complain they have to buy a whole expansion full of kitten, just for a few PvE features. There would be no Win for Anet in a PvP expansion.
