Seeing absolutely no need for raptor anymore. The jackal outclasses it. Can take no fall damage, gets the warp move back much faster.

Scourges used to be OP with damage and support. Both got nerfed info oblivion.

I well remember when Factions opened, that people was positively begging for minionmasters to come for many of the harder missions. Like the infamous Vizunah square

The minionmaster in gw1 took far more effort to do right.

Theres no subscription however.

Waste of dev time, better spent on proper game content.

Ive frequently had it. Happens if you try to join, leave and rejoin many meta groups in an attempt to get in, and finding they are full. About 5 times, the hammer comes down and you cant join more a for time.

OP, you do realize it would make masteries completely pointless, if you could swap between them at wiill? No, they do not need to be changed. As already said, just participiate in events, and its a non issue. Also, make use of the guild exp buff.

Theres -plenty- of mastery points in HoT.

When you use a glider your backpack will always be supressed.

As stated numerous times. The skyscale and griffin are luxury mounts. They are not needed for completing the game. But long term goals. And its so much easier now to get the currencies needed. Just make the effort, its not as hard as you make it out to be.

I only wish you could turn off the effect of Vision+Aurora

FTP should not have mounts, buy the expansion.

Templates is a great help for swapping between solo and group.

> The only part of the grind for the skyscale that I don’t like is only being able to craft things like the quartz crystal once a day. I understand that they want it to take time but if I have the mats I should be able to craft them. Other than that I don’t mind working to unlock something. I started this game during the shutdown and have found it less of a grind than the other games I play.

You do realize you can buy the foods needing quartz?

Minions helps soaking up big hits in solo pve, so they are not totally useless.

Its not a pve mount and should stay wvw. Do you have any idea about the QQ fest if the warclaw was needed for stuff in pve?

No, it should not gain any prominence in pve.

> Only complaint I have is that the skyscale makes the springer completely obsolete. I really like the mount, but let's be honest here. The skyscale is infinitely better at climbing heights than the springer could ever be. cannonball attack is still good for breakbar damage though.

I hear you, the Springer is completely overshadowed now. Only use ive had for it is in those few hearts needing a stomp. Like the garden in sandswept isles.

And I rarely use raptor or jackal, just too satisfying to use the beetle. And far faster.

> I find both grinding for skimmer's ability and gold for griffon disrespectful for the time I put into this game. but like you guys mention, doable. skyscale on the other hand not just grindy but also tied to a very nice story. only problem is time gated materials and insane amount of map currency grinding. some stuff like jumping puzzles is also exaggerated and unnecessary. It's so gosh darn repetitive I failed following the story.

You could buy skips for the JPs, which I did. Making the special food to end the task instantly. And we have ways of buying the older currencies now. In particular with eternal ice. Its far easier than you folks are making it out to be. And you can buy x5 of each in dragonfall. And if you have all the nodes, its also a lot free currency daily for looting your own home. So no, absolutely nearly no grind is needed if you have patience.. And eternal ice is super easy to get in huge amounts. And you dont need the skyscale, like the griffon, its a luxury/dedication mount. Not something you need right here.

> Wait, Skyscale in not the only mount ingame? jk I love the skyscale, use it all the time except when i have to run small distances, thats when the raptor comes in.

I personally prefer the jackal for short distance. Feels easier to turn with, and its sand jumps is available more often than raptor leap.

You can negate fall damage completely with a jackal. Sand jump before hitting ground.

And if you rapidly sand jump x3 through a group of foes, they never activate, unlike raptor leap.

> Skyscale is not worth it after getting the griffon.. Griffon is far superior to Skyscale to me. The grind required to get such a lackluster mount was insanely over the top so i gave up.

The skyscale dramatically outclasses the griffon, which I almost never use anymore. Why you ask? Unlike the griffon, the skyscale does not have forward momentum, plus it doesnt need you to constantly hit space to keep flapping. And you can cover a lot of ground with 4x dash with the skyscale if having bond of vigor, letting you hit ledges that the griffon never could reach.

You dont know what you are missing. Just farm eternal ice in bjora marches and exchange it for the currencies. I farmed x250 of each in a single day, from early morning to past midnight. And that was before bjora marches.

And do not judge the skyscale on the rent-a-scale. It gets much better with the masteries. Plus theres MANY volatile magic trails in the air of ls4, as well working with the karma trails in IBS. Keep taking volatile magic and your stamina meter refills, letting you have unlimited flight while you have VM to munch.

It does however not work with unbound magic from ls3.

i hope that necromancers gets a proper dps espec in End of Dragons. The Scourge failed because it could do both dps and support at the same time, and now its nerfed into oblivion.

Yes, the pvp lobby allows you to try out all especs. Which is fantastic to get an idea for what other classes and their especs is like.

I sincerely doubt this will be any issue for new players, since they will be in core tyria for a -long- time to come. Not to forget the fact that those two strike bosses are now part of past episodes that now is paid content. So no, nerfs is completely unneeded.

You get a box with a choice of selectable mount licenses from older sets, or choice of random bizarre beasts. And you additionally get a selectable mount choice for bizzare beasts.

The aurene raptor is GORGEOUS! But im sad it wasnt a skyscale! Would have fit sooo much better.

All such thirdparty addons needs to go.
