Fenom.9457 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 The old stretch animations are coming back - as an emote we’ll be able to control! https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/january-19-2021/ “Learn to /stretch” Also a new infusion which is always cool except it’s another skin one so kind of useless if you have any others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fueki.4753 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I expect /stretch to be another meta achievement reward that I will not get. Arenanet needs to make them all baseline or at least put them into PvP Reward tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I thought it was only human females who got a stretch animation removed. Were they removed from other races/genders too, or are they getting a new one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think all the grinds involved in the meta-achievements are anywhere close to being fun. They did it right with the prologue and added the emote as a PvP reward. They didn't have to do it wrong with every other emote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I assume this is part of the reason it took so long for them to add back (developing stretch animations for other races and genders) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's only available for purchase after you unlock it and somehow misplace? I know I was looking through the vendors before I unlocked it and it wasn't there. ...anyways, it's a reward that's fun to have, but not gamechanging by any means. If someone wants the reward, do the achievements. If achievements are "too hard/not worth you time" then... don't. This is just a cosmetic/vanity item that isn't even consistently (or semi-consistently, like mount skins) available to see, so I don't see the problem with putting it as a meta achievement reward. Feels like a pretty good place for it tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogwom.7940 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 That’s pretty neat. I just wish we could get the wolf and snow leopard shaman armour skins. The trailer also seems to depict a share with a new cape that could look similar to the the beast slayer weapon set. I am guessing it will be a gemstone item.

I am guessing it will be a gemstone item. Agreed on the shaman skins. It seemed we were going to get all four (one set per two episodes), but with things having changed it doesn't look like this is the case unless we get both of the missing sets in the finale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe stop spreading false information, because that emote is a 4th tier reward. Thus, it is being received for completing 19 out of 22 achievements.

I agree that many of the newer achievements involve grinding, which isn't fun (unless the activity you have to grind is enjoyable). But I remember the last one that you had to do to unlock an emote required you to visit various icy mountain tops across Tyria (where you had to use the /shiver emote), and _that_ I think was a fun idea.

If it was just such smaller achievements, that actually are related to the emote, that granted said emotes, I'd be all for it. But sadly it isn't. The same meta achievement also required things like doing each shrine event 20 times, doing Idol of Jormag events 20 times, attacking enemies with T3 essence skills 30 times, defeating the Boneskinner in the Sanctum Arena without being downed or defeated, lighting 30 torches during the Boneskinner fight and many more grinds. So, the few interesting and potentially fun achievements are heavily over-shadowed by needless - and for many people unwanted - grinds. To me, one simple emote simply isn't worth the mind-numbing slog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you just won't do what is required and you won't get it. This is optional content and as you say: *it's just an emote* (just like before we had *just a single item skin* as a reward for these "milestone" achievements), I'm not sure what's the problem with that. Why are some people suddenly surprised by those meta-rewards as if we ever had more than that? What else would you exactly expect to get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorudo.9054 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 i remember a time when an emote was added in a game as a feature, not as a reward. oh wait, GW is full of that and has more than GW2....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
