Fail story content. Im so disappointed at what the Icebrood Saga has become. I cant believe players are ok with this. I hope the new game director gets the studio back on track because this is the monkeys running the zoo. DRMs are a joke... In guild if i say lets do raids... everyone is ME ME ME... lets do strike missions... Everyone is OK ill go... Lets do DRMs...crickets. Weapons upgrading and cost...not worth my time. Story predictable. What happen to the saga... you started so strong... who thought is was ok to drop the ball on living world... Expansion level content in living world we were told... this is not expansion level content. Not even an epilogue map. Epilogue... Get on an airship. go to Cantha. Yawn... back to Final Fantasy 14.

Cantha so beautiful... oppps not EOD.

The race begins

in 1:30 minutes... hurry up.

YAY patch downloading.

Ice brood Saga has turned into such a disappointment. It started strong. With a great story line and good maps. Dark and foreboding. And now Champions... just kittens. Coming off of season 4 with its awesome story and maps...Kourna and Praise Joko... Jahai Bluffs and the Shatterer... Thunder Head Peaks and fighting Kralkatoric.... and Dragonfall... MY Goodness there is a map with a DEAD Dragon!!! To this... Season 5 opps Ice Brood Saga... Gimmick... this is not Expansion level content in a living world. I don’t know what happen... Is it ANET or NCSOFT... is it a lack of leadership with Mike O and Mike Z gone... or a lack of peeps to get the work done after all the layoffs... I don’t know but what I do know is Kittens when I see it... and this is a big pile of Kittens. This is an awesome franchise.... bootstrap up and get you kittens together and get back to putting out awesome content. Obviously you have moved on to EOD. Make it awesome and don’t put it out early just to get it to market.

Worst content ANET has ever put out. I don't know if because you are understaffed. Poor management. Poor Planning. But ANET has dropped the ball on the Ice brood Saga. I have guild members who are die hard GW2 fans... the disappointment they have for this 10 minutes of content is saddening. I've been here since launch. Played GW1. If you think I'm going to spend money on gems for crap content. You are mistaken. Let Ryland deal with this mess... commanders going to go play some WoW.

getting this all night....wasnt a problem until today. Please dont tell me its client side.

Getting this error all night and keep getting DC. What is going on ANET.

ANET has a new shinny object to look at (Expansion 3) and they have left Living World Season 5 in the dust. This is just a rehash of old content. Portal opens. Enemies come out, Kill enemies, Portal closes. This is disappointing considering how excited I was about a dark and Lovecraft'ish story for the Saga. It started strong and now its fizzled out. You have forgotten about strike missions, visions, and maps. This looks like you planned story to coincide with the Steam release in order to get more current players into old maps to make them look more populated as new players came into the game from steam. Not wasting my time with the rest of this Living world, Ill see you in Expansion 3.... hope you make it epic! because only having 5 new maps wont cut it, lack of map wide META's on maps wont cut it, not having a new playable race wont cut it, the bar and expectations are high. I know you can do it. See you in a year.

> Think of this as episode 5, the final episode of Icebrood Saga, but divided into 4 parts, or chapters. My guess we will have a huge amount of map around eye of the north to explore and it gets built upon with each chapter? Maybe other maps of tyria get used as part of the story? Who knows.

YI think you give ANET to much credit... they have moved on to developing Exp3.... but i hope im wrong and there are new maps.

Disappointing announcement. Look Portals open in Tyria. Look newest enemies exit portal. Look we kill the enemies with allies. Look portal closed.

If that's all you got and there are no new maps, I'm taking a break until the expansion. Ross we are on a break! no Gems for you.

Lava kitties. Lava Kitties. Just saying. :)

Same. I'm constantly harassed by this error message. This was never a problem before the last living world update Jormag Rising. Stop bullying me ANET error message. Its not me its you.

opps my bad

Thank You Anet! This will be an awesome addition, cant wait. I wont have to continually swap legendary armor around to play different professions in raids and wvw. woot woot!

You already won the game :)

Well done ANET completely enjoying the new content. Its different and I'm glad your trying new things! And new ways of story telling.

I'm going to make one little critique. I've been playing since launch. I have great nostalgia from playing season 1 and I love that you brought back season one. For me and my nostalgia and for everyone else who now gets to experience what I played or something of it.

However, I felt disconnected. I had no idea... which story do I do first, where am I, why am I here... I'm missing story context. I couldn't remember where to start, with Cragstead or Nolan, I new it wasn't the tower or Canach. I didn't know why I was going to these places or what was happening from a season one story. Season 2 3 4 and 5 I can play in order and can follow the story.

I also felt that way Playing the Ryland visions... where was I in context of map in Tyria… why am I here. Please keep this in mind when creating more of these Visions. For season 1 visions maybe bring an NPC to give people the back story, and which visions of season 1 they should do and in what order. I know there is the NPC in Lions Arch maybe bring them to the eye of the north or a new NPC.

Awesome Job! Loving Season 5, Look forward to more visions of the past!

Expansion 3! HYPE! Well done Anet, Well Done. Oh and everything else in the announcement, woot woot!

Never received my title...

War claw speed decrease was bad. revert it back or just get rid of mounts in wvw.

What happen to the bonus events... You get bored with running them? These should pop up to fill in weeks between content. Or even just to have bonus weeks where commanders are running boss events.

Anet changes the Scourge Elite to no longer hit 5 targets Melee and range but only hit range or melee. BUT you can still hit 10 targets. Then a month later determine 10 targets is to much and now you can only hit 5 targets melee or range. The Scourge is AOE damage Class. Anet has nerf'd it out of WvW. If your new to GW2. Leave. Run. Dont look back.

Sand Savant - no longer use.

Devouring Darkness - no longer use.

I'm happy templates have finally made it into the game. I'm having a blast setting up different templates for PvE, Raids, WvW and PvP. Also love adding equipment that's been sitting in bags into the extra equipment slots. That being said. I wasn't looking forward to templates so I would get extra bag space.

I will not buy extra templates. To max out the equipment and build templates on a character it will cost me 2900 gems. I can buy 4 character slots for 3200 gems. Buying 4 more character slots gets me more equipment and build templates than maxing out a single character. Character gets 6 equipment and 6 build. 5 characters get 10 equipment and 15 build templates. Considering I have 6 scourges already. I'm already ahead of the game and I have a total of 20 character slots. I have no incentive to buy addition template slots. This should have been priced, where I didn't even have to think about it. Oh hey, I need to switch to a different character for a build, hell no, let me drop 100 gems to get an extra equipment or build template. Oh hey, I spent 10 bucks on gems to get a new outfit let me drop the remaining gems into a new template. No brainer purchases.

Additionally, I cant share legendary items with different characters. You need a shared equipment pool for legendries. I earned it I should be able to share it across professions. Character lock for Ascended and lower, yep makes sense. Legendary not so much. Maybe you can implement that in the future. I also cant share my infinite harvesting items. This also need's to be shared across characters. I have to continue to move them to shared storage back and forth between the characters I'm playing. I cant template outfits, or mini's, or gliders, or mounts, or finishers. maybe in the future. I cant set default equipment/builds for WvW, PvP, PvE or Raids. It would have also been nice if the UI had a button I could click to switch to a different templates. Hot keys are great but I like UI.

So good start. Think about what the users of your game are saying, make adjustments, and plan for future updates to the system.

Side note... I use to spend 50 dollars a month on gems, no more gems since you change my scourge elite. 100$ not spent on gems so far since the change. Think about it.
