I do hope they go back to connecting maps like those two though, I so badly miss being able to just walk from one map to the next. The expansions connect their maps but living world usually doesn't. When we're all over the place I understand there are no nearby maps to connect to, but I wish some of the ones right next to each other had a portal. Like Grothmar and Bjora. Would it have been so hard to add just a teeny, tiny little sliver more to one of those maps that's a corridor through the mountains, and connect the map art (the map art is SO close it gives me terrible OCD that they didn't just bridge the gap). I know you can take a chopper from the Blood Keep to Jora's Keep, which is nice, but not the same. I would imagine we can expect the expansion maps to connect to each other since the previous two maintained this style from core, but I'm gonna be pretty disappointed if the next season/saga after EOD (which is pretty likely to still be in Cantha) doesn't connect and of its maps. > > Vabbi, Jahai and Kourna are connected, the portal Jahai/Kourna, exists, but its wanst used on history and rarely noticed on map. > > >From Domain of Kourna: The portal is at the end of the path leading up the cliffs south of Dunlon Springs. > https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Jahai_Bluffs I know they’re connected, my whole point is wishing more living world maps were connected like that

One was a keyrunner named Keyroy Jenkins, no surprise there (all my key runners have "key" somewhere in the name, but are generally otherwise regular human names). The other was an NPC from rp that I decided to make into an actual in-game character. A sylvari named Avalloc. Which was just something I'd grabbed fast from an Arthurian names generator when writing the rp stuff so I'm not all that surprised someone else had it. I dithered over variations for a while and finally made him as Avalloq. There's an elf named Avalla'ch in Witcher so that's probably why the name was taken if you're wondering

I don't really see where people are getting the notion Jahai is unfinished, it seems perfectly fine, but we do know for certain that Kourna was a bit rushed.

It’s never been a side mmo to me

I could see the story being the same idea as this goddess but the dragon won’t have the exact same name. Also the name isn’t draconic enough

Ah forget keeping it rated T make it for all races, cowards

Ah... as sure as the sun rises I knew there’d be a post complaining about the new gemstone items. It is Tuesday, after all. That said, you’re not wrong to express your opinion, and I kind of agree. I love this skin and would like them to use it in the world somewhere, but I hope it’s not the only, or one of very few, designs of dragons we get to see. Considering the name of the expansion is end of *dragons*, we’re fighting 1 more more elder dragon, AND this is the empire of the dragon, I find it very unlikely we won’t see many more dragon designs. Also, this is really kind of a lunar new year skin, not cantha. The real question is why did they add this the day the festival ends and not a week or two prior?

The 20 tournament wins are proving to be even more painful than trying to get into raids for armor (which is still also a massive pain, mind you). Never come so close to actually uninstalling the game as I have in trying to get those wins. And like OP mentioned, it makes no sense! Not just on its own, but when you compare it to the wvw one too. It’s a thinly veiled, terrible attempt for FORCE EVERYONE into a tiny, niche, toxic spot in the game and I’ve only seen others reflect my opinion. I have yet to encounter a single person who’s told me this has helped and they enjoy tournaments now. Why couldn’t it have been 100 player kills? If it’s ok in wvw, why not here? Actually, it makes MORE sense to require kills in PvP than WvW. PvP is all about close combat and slaughtering people to win, but WvW has a large pve aspect to it, as well as long term strategy. If anything, having one of the achievements be getting kills fits better in PvP. It can of course be something more demanding than 100, I think 500 kills would go nicely with 120 ranked wins > > How did Anet forced you ? > > I wanted the raid ring as well but I can't stand doing raids so I just don't do it and keep playing for fun. > > I've found very easy to get the pvp legendary just like the raid ring is easier for someone who already does raids regularly. > > > They force you in the sense that there is no alternative legendary amulet. If there was, I’d gladly shut up and go get that one. And yes, I know you can make the version without visuals without tournament wins. But visuals are the main point of legendaries! Originally, they were meant to be the only reason someone would get a legendary, they were supposed to be high end cosmetic choices that would not give a gameplay advantage. So before you tell me “just make the slumbering version”, remember it was anets own vision that teaches us legendaries are most valued for their visual appearance. And in this way, ArenaNet has **not** provided an alternative to date, nor given us any reason to believe one is inbound.

Necroing this thread because I was going to make my own post but there’s no need.

It was what I expect from all festivals; mostly the same, with small helpings of new content mainly in the forms of skins and rewards, but also improvements and tweaks here and there. Also last year the festival got a pretty big update with the celestial challenge being added, so I’m not expecting anything major for this festival for another year or two still

Why do we not have a general pve Armor set, or even competitive ones that don’t share skins with their ascended versions. If you want armor that is TRULY legendary, you HAVE to get into raids which is really crappy. Seriously, even a single option more, anet... cmon... > > The OP want the skins not the armor tho. I know, that’s why I said what they’re asking is unreasonable. But my offered solution might have appeased them it such an alternative armor set existed..

Asking to swap different sets will never happen, however this is just more support to my belief we need more options!
