    Thank you! I see my GW2 cycle repeating: Buy the expansion, play it like mad for two months, get fed up with the game, ignore it for a year or so, repeat…

      Similar to how I currently play it hahaha. I login for dailies here and there, but it’s definitely a game I do in short bursts generally.

      One of the things I love about the game is that it completely supports that play-style and I never feel like I get left behind on things.

    not sure what i think of the wizards vault so far. Most of the PvE stuff seems to be from the latest addons and it only rewards one gold per day instead of the two gold you got with the old system.

        If it makes you feel any better, HoT is the hardest one, and the newer expacs are (reletively) easier than HoT

          I had played hot way back when it was released so I already got all the necessary mastery points. I was surprised how short the story of the game is.

          Started now with LWS3 and will continue it after i return from my honeymoon vacation !

      I took a break from the game from around Mid-HoT to around Living World Season 4. I only just recently managed to catch up on my Primary Account. My Secondary Account is still missing Icebrood Saga and hence does neither have the Legendary Amulet nor access to EMP.

      Luckily I have both the Griffon as well as the Skyscale mount fully unlocked on both accounts. So I’m well prepared (and looking forward to) for them being buffed in SotO.

    And here we thought we get a content drought. Dang that is a lot of stuff to unpack.

    Dunno what i am most exctied about. The new weapon system or the new maps.

    Everything sounds awesome and they must have worked their asses off to deliver it this year. I wonder what they got planned after that but i am happy with what we will get. One of the rare cases where i like to preorder.

    It seems like ANet is getting some of the low hanging fruits + getting rid of the lore constraints (most of them) in this expansion. Let see how it goes. With a bit of passion and boldness, it may very well be nice.

    The adventure continues through three major story and content releases to follow. A self-contained story with its own resolution will play out at launch. Later releases will seamlessly pick up where the launch arc concluded and tell the rest of the expansion’s story. Additional features and updates across the game are planned for release every quarter.

    We will be getting the rest of the expansion in another 3 releases, each being released around each quarter. This means that we will see the next release around christmas and the story will be concluded summer next year?

    @meldrik@lemmy.wtf Maybe we should pin one of the Secrets of the Obscure posts (suggestion: this one here) and assemble our combined feedback in one place instead of creating 10++ posts many of them actually referring to the same topic or even the same link.

    I think a lot of the ideas here are exactly what I want from the game, since flying mounts and the overworld are my favorite parts.

    But I also play specter and herald a lot and I don’t wanna relearn how to use them after today’s balance patch. We’ll see how their rotations turn out but I’m not super excited for quickness herald anymore :(

    The madlads are bringing Zojja back. And in a new outfit as well, which I’m assuming belongs to the new faction which will retroactively explain her absence (didn’t Taimi even say that she has no idea where Zojja is during IBS?).

    Also Wizard tower hype!
