We have had curved swords since release, so having Japanese blades with those animations should be no deal to Arenanet.

I think Centaurs would have just given the generic vanilla Modniir weapon set, which is available from karma vendors (like the Ebon Vanguard weapons).

While I would really love to see more Underwater content, I'd prefer Arenanet spending the resources on things that are on land, so more players can enjoy it.

Around PoF, but without overtuned things like the Elonian Harpies or the Forged Snipers, would be good.

At least bots keep the queue times relatively low.

I don't want my queues, which usually are below five minutes, suddenly take over ten minutes.

GW2's PvP has become the literal opposite of being competitive.

If you want to play competitive PvP, even FF14 would be a far better choice.

It sounds alot like Kessex Hills.

Things like this have been frequently requested over the years.

So far, Arenanet hasn't even done as little as to acknowledge this player wish.

That might eliminate the game modes, as people might completely abandon them, because they don't think it's worth to buy that pass.

Don't forget to reduce Necromancers' health for active minions.

I don't think Arenanet has sufficient resources allocated to support PvP and get rid of all the hackers.

It's also possible they have already given up on supporting "the one man in the back".

Also, due to the dwindling PvP population, it's highly unrealistic that there are any "plat games" anymore.

Most games with platinum players also contain gold players and often even silver players.

Since Arenanet murdered my Meditation Symbol Core Guardian,

Power Soulbeast is the _least unfun_ thing for me.

There should be more options per boon though.

Quickness is provided by Chronomancers and Firebrands, so there is still room for new elites to provide it.

The same goes for Alacrity which currently comes mostly from Chronomancers and Renegades.

I certainly wouldn't mind Warrior providing either of them.

That one already is in the game, albeit for underwater, under the name Al'ir'aska.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Al%27ir%27aska

I don't know if it's animated though.

There's also a Worn Voltaic Spear skin, but that one was never released.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Worn_Voltaic_Spear_(skin)

That's because everyone has a different opinion on what's fun.

For some people, bending their playstyle just to include combos isn't fun.

> Everybody uses them and those who doesn't are not optimizing.

Not everyone is optimizing their damage output.

Some people optimize their enjoyment of the game instead.

And Mistfire Wolf isn't available to all players.

It's basically the same as all racial utilities not being available to all characters.

Human Guardians are likely to be followers of Dwayna, the Goddess of Healing, and Balthazar (or his replacement), the God of Fire and Protection.

Human Firebrands are also taking to Kormir's ~~ramblings~~ teachings.

Norn Guardians are likely followers of Bear or Wolf.

Norn Dragonhunters with their Superior Runes of the Trapper are becoming more and more followers of Snow Leopard though.

Asura Guardians believe in the Eternal Alchemy.

Charr Guardians belief in the legions.

Sylvari Guardians believe in the Dream and in Ventari's Tablet.

Minion necro of any flavour really.

Just spawn your fleshies and cast Marks the entire match.

As sad as it sounds, Arenanet wants them to underperform.

Racial utilities aren't supposed to be equal to regular profession utilities.

The bunnies were actually meant as a joke, but they could give them a buff icon that indicates the type of pet.

I just want Bunny Thumper for Ranger.

Weapon: Hammer

Utilities: Physical Skills with Life Steal.

Pets are visually replaced with bunnies, but still retain their regular functions.

Marriage is just about officially and legally becoming family.

There is nothing religious behind this.

I was being sarcastic about nerfing Thieves and Mesmers.

I thought that was obvious, since everyone else also was being sarcastic about nerfing Thieves.

Back, when GW2 released, those differences in Armour and HP meant something towards balance.

But now, in the absence of balance, they don't matter anymore and simply are a remnant of the past.
