The RTX 20 series is a no-go now. The 30 series are faster in every way. They are just hard to buy right now, same with the new Radeon series.

I'm in favor of only liking same-language servers together.

Yesterday some trolls were spamming Rousing Resilience in map chat in Dragons Stand causing many players to crash out. Also, the map server itself crashed for some different reason. To be clear, Mordremoth won this round.

Yes, an updated graphics rendering engine with better multicore support and DX11/DX12 and/or Vulkan. No, not an entirely different art style. I don't want my game to look like a painting or a cartoon. I prefer the more realistic style we have now.

While GW2 development is not going to be as far as I would have hoped for, it is still one of the most successful western MMO games. I do not see a reason at all why it would come to an end anytime soon. The franchise is too valuable to just shut it down. There are many way smaller MMOs that are still online and/or in active development. Things like Everquest, Everquest II, Runescape, Lord of the Rings Online and even Meridian 59 (1996). NCSoft is an uncertain factor in these times where most of their revenue comes from Korean and mobile games. But if NCSoft would ever decide that ArenaNet/GW is no longer fits in their portfolio, then the most logic outcome would be that they sell the studio or split it off. Just like LotRO changed hands a few times. (Turbine+Codemasters/Turbine+WB games and now Standing Stone games) And believe me that LotRO is tiny in comparison to GW2. And yes, a lot could be improved. I would love to see game/rendering engine improvements. WvW updates with the alliance system. Far better communication and involvement between ArenaNet and the community which would greatly reduce the amount of toxicity here in the forums. But I'm happy with the expansion announcement, the continued living world releases and I am deeply thankful to ArenaNet for making the franchise I call home since 2006. And the fact that even GW1 still has its servers online and gets occasional updates reassures me for the future of the franchise. I don't think a fourth expansion or a GW3 is not a consideration just yet.

There was a patch. Does it still happen now?

How will a complete roll back fix anything? Even more players will lose their progress if that happens.

EBG crashed two times in the last 20 minutes I played it. (Aurora Glade + Ruins of Surmia)

If this was it, then the November 17 "Truce" living world release has been utterly disappointing. Just too little. Too little story, no new map, no new meta, just a few achievements.

You don't. The thief got away.

They are not used in pvp or wvw, they do not make your character stronger faster or better. > It makes your character a lot better in PvE. I appreciate the fact that some aspects like mastery points can be gained exclusively by achieving/leveling things in game. Not everything should be for sale. And this is one of them imo.

A native DX11/DX12/Vulkan renderer would be nice. [DX12 for Windows 7 is also a possibility](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/porting-directx-12-games-to-windows-7/), just like World of Warcraft has. For me and the rest of the Windows 7 gamers it is important that we at least can continue to play GW2 on this OS.

No pay to win please.

I guess that people who say that the game is dead are displeased by some aspects of the game or ArenaNet and like to spread bad press to express their feelings.

Well deserved. While my posts often contain some criticism to details of the games that could use improvement, I realize that I don't always express enough thank and gratitude for having this amazing franchise I call home since 2006. Thanks for making it possible, Team ArenaNet!

Meanwhile In Europe: https://www.game-key.nl/product/guild-wars-2-2000-gems-card/ https://livekaarten.nl/guild-wars-2-gem-card-4000 https://www.cdkeys.com/nl_nl/pc/punten/guild-wars-2-2000-gem-points-card-pc (Some random resellers, I don't necessarily recommend them) And the official resellers mentioned by ArenaNet for The Netherlands don't even sell them anymore.

Also, add medical bills for when your character gets treated or revived. And add a mandatory health insurance that does not cover the costs if your character needs extended medical support.

The Griffon any time. Simply because it is the most versatile mount. Hopping on cliffs, Covering land at decent speed, gliding, diving without having to switch to a springer, raptor or skyscale 90% of the time.
