They should put all those new emotes at the end of reward tracks instead of locking them behind meta-achievements that contain needlessly tedious and boring tasks.

I'd like to see more dedicated instanced group content, like dungeons and Strike Missions.

Even if i don't play them, I'd like to see more raids for those that want them.

But those expensive weapon collections and needlessly low drop rates ought to go away.

It definitely can still be a side MMO.

You don't need to do the high-end content or the grinds.

I definitely don't do them.

A voluntary, manual reset would be the best solution for anyone.

Those who want to repeat the heart can repeat it.

Those who want it to remain completed, can just let ignore the manual reset.

> I know it's kinda offtopic and i already have given my answer previously in this thread but I just had a neat idea since I picked up in gw1 Factions story again. The idea involves a new mastery point system which will allow us to further develop a new thing that previously existed in gw1. Heroes! The masteryies could be that you can purchase new skills and recruit new unique heroes for your team. Couldn't find the EoD suggestion thread right now so I picked this one.

> I actually enjoyed the heroes system and it would be cool to see it return somehow.

Are you certain you played Factions?

Heroes were introduced with Nightfall.

It's the same for Humans, Norn and Sylvari as well (probably Charr, too).

Allegedly it's something about how medium armour connects to the medium body type.

And they possibly didn't want the skirt to clip through their beloved trench coats.

Arenanet has problems with their Amazon Web Servers that the game is hosted on.

They even admitted having technical problems.

But if there was to be a team, why wouldn't it even try to fix their content?

It's been six months since the release and they stopped trying to fix it less than two weeks after the release.

I think the small team that was responsible for Bugqua Peak has been scattered to develop other things.

> When Balthazar dies at the end of Path of Fire he curses all of the gods for betraying him except Lyssa, and Anet has said there is a reason for that.

There may be a reason for that, but it's also established fact that Lyssa left Tyria with the others.

Therefore she no longer has anything to do with us, who were left behind.

Said reason can be as little as Lyssa disagreeing with the others and refusing to take away his godhood.

Unless Arenanet retcons the fact that Lyssa left, or we chase the gods into the Mists, there is no way for Lyssa to become part of the plot.

> @"Nephalem.8921" said:

> Which one?

In PoF both Balthazar and his Herald use way too much AoE.

And their HP, as well as the HP of his Warbeast and the HP of the Forged Bastion, is too much.

In Season 4, Episode 1 Amala, as well as Scruffy 2.0 (and maybe the Wyvern, I don't remember that one) are even more AoE spammy.

In Episode 2, Lonai has too much HP and spams her AoE.

And that's merely six examples (or ten, if we count Balthazar and his herald once for each of their three times each).

> All story bosses phase within seconds.

Not everyone uses META builds, story bosses should not be balanced around those.

I doubt they are related. But it's weird that we don't see more bears (and other animals) sitting around.

Since most Greatsword skins look stupid anyway, that flailing while running should be no problem.

> Assuming it doesn't get resolved in EoD, the post EoD story could tie up the gods narrative by dealing with whatever Lyssa is up to.

Why should we deal with whatever Lyssa is up to in the Mists?

She departed from Tyria with the other gods.

As far as we know, there is no raid coming up.

I doubt there even is a team working on raids or other instanced multiplayer content.

Artificial scarcity and the fear of missing out are the most likely reasons why Arenanet isn't keeping everything in store.

Many bosses in GW2, especially since PoF, just boil down to:

bloated HP pool

CC spam

AoE spam

These things simply make bosses unfun for me.

And the disturbing visual effects sometimes make it even worse.

Isn't there a sitting bear in in the cave with the Hero Challenge that has you fight a Bear Shaman in Wayfarer Foothills as well?

The one that says something about Bear's little tail waggling in her heart.

To me, it hardly matters whether I meet people in Open World or not.

It's not like they could steal harvesting nodes away from me, like in other games.

What about all the holographic SAB stuff? Have you never seen that?

A hologram is a 3D light field and the SAB technology weaponized that.

Scarlet used the same Asuran technology as well.

> @"ThrakathNar.4537" said:

> Genuinely curious to hear what you think the goal with tradeoffs should be.

The right thing to do would be buffing core trait lines, so that losing the third core line **becomes** a significant trade off.

And then they can start to remove the current trade-offs they gave to Berserker, Scrapper etc.

But I can't see Arenanet do that.

Weavers has too much Barrier, so shaving it was fine.

Just be happy that Elementalists still have decent builds.

> @"vicky.9751" said:

> the only plus gw2 has is, account wide dyes that dont have a limited number of uses.

Most gear in GW2 also has multiple dye channels, in FF14 there is only one channel per armour piece.

I'm surprised it's not all progress that has been lost.

I doubt this is a bug though.

Since you can still do the achievements you want to complete on others characters, a situation as you described hasn't been created.

> I find playing bunker builds the most fun and engaging. it's not broken like it was. if you don't play right, you get killed. If you don't pay attention, you get killed. It involves a lot of skill and awareness to play decap druid well. You have to pay attention to buffs on opponent and surroundings. I'd understand if bunker builds were still broken, but they simply aren't. they can be quickly decimated for one mistake. I would encourage you to try and play push druid and see how "boring" it is and how well you can do.

And yet others find is absolutely disengaging.

If they can't even make a slight dent into that HP pool, they stop trying, because it's not worth trying to fight.

And something that others would rather avoid fighting doesn't sound very appealing for PvP.

The word Monday is based on moon.

The whole concept of months is based on the moon.

The word menstruation comes from the Latin word for moon.

Is the Lunar New Year the **first thing** you think of in all three cases?

After all, apparently you consider the Lunar New Year to be the most important thing to the moon.
