Going to go with All or Nothing for the "Aurene" choir song, but equally liked A Bug in the Systems' "Who Needs the Light".

I don't remember any music from the others.

Definitely Canach - Him and Rytlock are the only likeable and interesting members of DW right now. Taimi's kinda likeable but solves way too many of the problems thrown at us relative to the PC and the rest of DW.

How would a horse mount be any different in functionality than a Warclaw?

Also this ^^

Except mounts are a PoF feature and require PoF masteries, so I don't think they'll do mounts as the primary feature of the next expac. We might get some additional side mounts, like Warclaw, that require PoF though.

I think housing and/or underwater combat/exploration might be the next expac feature.

I don't really care about tengu as a playable race that much either, since they would pretty much just be a reskinned Charr like the ones in game already are.

Agreed, no idea why novelties even have their own button (I almost never use them), especially one that everyone is forced to have rather than just a keybound shortcut.

Combat is getting laggier and laggier, and also more cluttered, with every new mount that is released, and even my best graphics setting/high speed internet PC is lagging heavily whenever mobs like the ones in the screenshots above, oftentimes also with griffons and now skyscales flying all over, take place. Adding a hide player mounts, mount skins, and/or mount animations setting would greatly reduce the lag/screen clutter.

No, that would make everyone with a mount waaaaay too OP and turn the game into a complete joke for anyone that has mounts. We'd also have to (again) deal with low level areas with OP one-hit-kill raptors, except then, even damage scaling wouldn't help much except if mounts were given close to no damage on dismount.

> Same was done for mounts, Im just going on now because we have tons of hints at a cantha expansion. Would be nice if it was done; Im not saying they will I have no faith in A-net anymore once so ever so I mean take it for what it is worth. They cater to... a very specific crowd and im not one of them, I know this but as it stands now I can't see myself giving them anymore money for expansions~ Especially with how poor the last two were.

Except for mounts, Anet purposefully did not comment on the topic and left it open for discussion. Not so much for new playable races, as they did explicitly post earlier that it would probably be too much resource use for too little payoff or something to that effect. So maybe we'll get a new playable race, but it seems very unlikely and not worth getting my hopes up for.

Cantha, on the other hand, I very much do see happening eventually, if not next expac, as it would be a major money maker and has had a ton of demand since launch.

I have several stacks of each in my bank and I was wondering what the best thing to do with these things is, so I checked previous forum posts. They answers were each of the three things possible to do with them: upgrade to the next tier, use a converter, or just delete them. Which one of these options (or other options) is the best thing to do with these materials?

1 - Probably will be a secondary plot of LWS5

2 - Not really a major plot, as she hasn't directly done much with our guild recently anyways, other than leading the Olmakhan.

3 - Maybe, but possibly it will be another plot point that is forgotten and never again revisited, as many pre HoT plots were

Other than these, Charr civil war plot sounds really plausible at this point, as the only reason they stopped fighting each other was the elder dragons, and they're all dealt with at the moment, so an anti-human Charr and/or human separatist leader/group could gain much sway right now to restart conflicts, especially in/around Ebonhawke where both sides are still bitter at each other.

This has been suggested for years and seems very out of place and overdue, can we please get this as a quality of life update?

None of the above, depends entirely on the topic and content of the post. If it's the weekly Cantha or new playable race hype posts, I go with Pessimist Perfectionist, If it's something reasonable for the game at the moment, I go with the other two options.

Agree that the DSD will probably be in a fully underwater or mostly underwater themed expac, but there's no reason right now to believe it's the next expac which could be anywhere at this point, could be 1-3 expacs later for all we know atm.

Joko at the end of Be My Guest - "So that I. May save the world. From you."

One of the best lines thus far about the other side of the PCs actions in the story which is oftentimes forgotten/not mentioned.

Nobody knows where the story's going next and it's just hyped speculation at this point that we're going to Cantha anytime soon (as has been the case since launch). Next map area could be anywhere right now as the story could take any direction after that very open S4 finale. New playable race is unlikely since Anet said previously that it would probably be too much work to make new weapons, armor, etc. for a new race. No idea what the next expac feature is going to be, but underwater combat revamp and player housing seem to be the two biggest possibilities atm.

Really don't like this idea, since it would require way too much pressing "ignore" to actually enjoy/play the game rather than just turning off a certain type of chat in the chat log as it is right now. Also don't want to hear distracting background noise that often accompanies voice chat and entirely ruins immersion/concentration. If I wanted to play with voice chat, I would just join a guild or small group that uses a separate voice chat program. Can't even begin to imagine what this idea would be like in large squads such as WvW or world bosses; forcing 25+ people in a squad to listen to 24+ other people at the same time, many of whom would obviously just use it to troll and/or scream.

> I think fixing the Mists will be something that the Mists does by itself. Maybe with a bit of help from the Gods but who knows.

Yeah, I agree with this. I think we're going to get an entirely new antagonist and they said it probably won't be a world ending one, so I don't think we'll do much with the Mists situation in Season 5.

Since the Skyscale seems like an attempt to check off a wall climbing mount from Anet's list (in place of a spider mount), the only mount I can see that offers any significant advantages at this point is an underwater mount. This would be cool and useful to have and I think we'll get one in Season 5 before the next expac, which probably will have few to no new mounts, as mounts are a PoF mastery. I know they were also toying around with a multiplayer mount, so maybe that will also be something we'll get.

Springer > Raptor > Warclaw > Skimmer > Jackal > Roller Beetle > Skyscale (Don't have Griffon yet)

Springer is my favorite, since I don't feel like spending 250 gold on a griffon, but still lets you reach high places. This is also my order of frequency of use (Springer when I need to go to high places with moderate speed, Raptor when I want speed in flat locations, Warclaw in WvW, and the others as necessary.

This would just require so many more of the already abundant and annoying no fly zones and invisible walls.

Vague question, but I would get a GW3 if it was released. I don't care what a company's history is, depends what the game is and if it's good.

My order: Daybreak >= War Eternal > A Star to Guide Us > All or Nothing > A Bug in the System > Long Live the Lich

Was between Daybreak and War Eternal, since both had very strong stories and maps imo, but Daybreak's story seemed slightly longer in a good way and the Istan map and hearts were well used in the story.

A Star to Guide Us had a very good map, but the story felt short.

All or Nothing had a decent story, but the map felt too empty with only a few events.

A Bug in the System had a decent map, but the story was way too predictable for me.

Long Live the Lich had Kourna (One of the worst maps in the game for me) and an anticlimactic deus ex ending, both of which made me strongly dislike the episode.

> End her life quick, merciless death for an annoying character

Then we'd just have Gorrik be the new leading Asura member of DW, which would be even worse imo.

Unlike Trahearne, Aurene actually got a developed and thorough introduction to the PC and plot, which was one of my biggest gripes with Trahearne, who shows up out of nowhere for my non-Sylvari characters and suddenly talks like he's been my best friend. He is then chosen to be leader of the Pact despite clearly lacking combat/leadership experience and this felt very immersion breaking to the story. Also, her lack of speech and new voice so far seems way better than Trahearne's dull "Clawr Island" accent that just made him even more annoying. These were evident since Aurene's death actually made me sad, while Trahearne's just made me relieved to be done with his character.
