What are you most excited for in PoF?

[blambidy.3216]

I'm gonna be honest. Mine is just story. But this is me. For games, movies, shows, it's about story. If you don't have a story that I'm not into I don't care if the game is the best to people or best movie. Its gotta be good. Everything else is just icing on the cake. I do wish we had housing added too but hey can't get everything. It might happen. Might not. But it won't make me stop playing gw2. And second this is mounts. Discovering a new map with no waypoints is a while. I just wanna run fast through it. But now I wanna see how they added mounts with jumping puzzles.

[TheGrimm.5624]

New elites, new exploration, new things to collect and sell, new meta events and encounters.

[Yasi.9065]

Im really not hyped at all about PoF... except for one thing... MOUNTS. Its the first thing Im gonna absolutely focus on, and then Ill go and look where else I can use mounts in older content.

 

And of course, new "real" armor and weapon skins. I dislike outfits because they limit my creativity so much.

[Chadramar.8156]

Mounts. I've been craving an across-the-board movement speed boost since forever, especially since not all classes have access to such a boost, and it's annoying to sacrifice a trait or skill slot even if they do. The raptor was definitely fun, looked great, and it had character. Some of the armor skins also look promising, though for humans only. (And it's not as if 90% of everything isn't for humans already. Sylvari noticably didn't get the same with HoT.)

 

Other than that? Nothing, to be honest. I did not play GW1, so nostalgia is not a factor for me, and the (main) story and characters of LS3 were so offputting across the board that I have no positive expectations for the PoF story at all. Nor does it bode well that the writers think NPCs are my "proxies" for experiencing and reacting to the story instead of my own character.

[Loosifah.4738]

I'm most excited to be going back to Elona, mounts will make this amazing.

 

I'm curious if this expansion will be geared towards humans like HoT was towards Sylvari(I.E. Mordy talking in your head).

[Greyrebel.7492]

Exploration!!! :) and btw abit disspointed to see warriors get some aweful looking spells while other classes like elementalists get alooot of new cool looking flashy skills

> I couldn't disagree more. Unlike 90% of other MMOs mounts in this game aren't just a cosmetic movement speed boost. In PoF they have inertia and turn circles, which changes the movement in a major way. I would have loved if they had gone even further and added different run speeds and sprints that need stamina.

> Additionally we have only been able to try the raptor. The other mounts add even more unique movement. I personally can't wait to try out the skimmer!

 

lol ok. But they work the same as every other MMO's mounts, sure they have there own little thing, but they are functionally the same thing, a speed boost for your character to get around quicker. You can tell your self they are different all you want, but in reality they are not that different, and where added as a hook to sell the xpac. The same way gliding was a hook for some to get HoT.

That's how unimpressed I am.

You cant move the mount the same way you move your character they move with their own newly designed control system! IT's what makes them so unique in GW2!! This is a large step in the right direction. Anet never does anything the same as anyone else.

 

That's fine, but I'm not impressed with them at all. They feel like a gimmick to sell the xpac.

Me too. <3 And what @maddoctor.2738 wrote in their post about the story expectations.

Same, even though I don't enjoy the direction right now.

We already babysit Braham, we don't need a god as well.

 

[Creamtoast.6295]

I'm excited just to get back into the game... we'll see what the expansion brings though, from what I could tell it won't be anything monumental, but it might be fun!

[Kevin Ardinez.8906]

i want to see Corsair again :D but i have seen them in DEMO :S

Palawa Joko is one my favorite character honestly i dont want to fight him, hoping we could ally with em :D

remember the huge statue in CD? i wonder if we could still see them.

cant wait to play all map events, talk to NPC, explore maps :D

 

[Emprer.7256]

Mounts, elites, new weapon and armor skins, story, exploration!!

[ayeniss.8190]

I personally interested in **jumping puzzles, exploring and the new skills**.

In the demo, Elementalist was nice, that dual element was great! (Still, I will stick to my original healer one)

But mostly: **Guardian**.

That was the one which opened my eye like: what? Those books and pages looked pretty fun for me. I had played Guardian before, but it wasn't that much fun as it seemed at the beginning (as I feel for Hunter now, I started to lure one up but I stucked with it because of boredom)

Also, the **ranged specialisation for Revenant** is quite good, I'm looking for that one - since I only had 2h-ranged weap now.

 

BTW for the mount one: Yeah, in that looking, nothing is new, NCSoft Aion had gliding and flying and people loved it (as I did before, I have played it around 6 years long) since the game went free it's a nice add to get some cash with customisation. Yeah, in ohter MMOs the mounth only speed up, but here they have a really nice add with the differents skills and mobility functions. **Ofc everyone knows that there will be skins, coloring and other sht for mounts to spend in game money but we don't have other things to spend on so I think it's fair enough**.

[rapthorne.7345]

Scourge!!!!!!!!!!

 

That and chasing nublets around in Queensdale on a Bunnyroo

[Myrdreth.6829]

I can't wait to get the mounts, especially the jackal! I AM SO HYPED!!! How cute is the jackal?! Awww :D

 

I am also every excited to explore all the new places.

 

And I am curious to see which new items(armor, weapons etc) we'll be able to get.

 

As for the new elite specialisations. They look really nice but I am not sure I will switch from Dragonhunter to the Firebrand. I love my DH skills too much :D But Holosmith looked great, maybe I will level my engineer a little bit more :)

 

 

[Inexor.7804]

Holosmith and Mounts!!! And hopefully a bunch of shiny new armor and weapon skins which appeal to me.

[Nick Lentz.6982]

I'm not going to let the over hype get to me like HoT did.

 

Can't be excited about the story because of that god awful and "all over the place" build up story.

 

I'm still fenced about Mounts because that shouldn't be the main selling point in any game. It should be the cherry and it feels like the only thing anet wants to push.

 

The maps are big but still feel empty. I hope beta was actually beta and they fill it in.

 

Only mount masteries?

 

Unidentified gear?

 

I am aiming lowing and praying that I hit high with this one.

 

 

[Fipmip.7219]

Running around with a deadeye execution squad

[sorudo.9054]

well, since all i like about it (for now) are the mounts and maybe the new armors and weapons, not really seeing the fun part of the rest until i can experience it.

A gimmick that's well thought and developed. Mounts in GW2 are something special and not comparable to mounts in WoW, ESO etc. I think GW2 mounts are amazing.

 

Looking forward to the new specs, I really love them. Going to play a Scourge and I'm very excited.

[Reinthir.1349]

Exploring new areas and seeing where they take the story. I also hope mount racing becomes a big thing, although I think it needs more incentives to remain popular IMO. Can't tell you how much time I've spent racing Chocobo's in Final Fantasy.

[Joxer.6024]

NEW stuffs.......and RENEGADE!! Keen to give a new elite a go and have some fun in the sand!!

"Got my drink in my hand, toes in the sand, all I need is, a beautiful girl!" ;) (go go Van Halen!)
