It's nice that we have all these reveals up front for who we're fighting. Better for making the villains more interesting.

Got to play a bit of the story and some of the new map yesterday. It was fun and I'm interested in where the story is going.
I just hope the next new map they add is not so unnecessarily vertical just because we need it to showcase gliding.
I'm ready for a new map where it is somewhere in between old maps and new ones and preferably without a gimmick to navigate it.

Finished the episode
So, looks like we have a one-two punch going on here. White mantel returns in force with the god thingy and a civil war in their ranks, while another dragon stirs.
I can see where this is heading, if expansion 2 is going to take us subsurface and deal with that dragon. Could bring in some Asura focus as well, with living story dealing with Kryta's issues.

I agree with WoodenPotatoes that this is def among the best story content they have ever done, but at the same time I am bummed out about no Cantha. This essentially confirms it

Well you never know cuz,
primordous' champion in GW2 caused fissures in the ground in all 3 areas of tyria (tyria, cantha and elona).
Also, Tengu have been fighting destroyers for so long that if primordous is the next dragon we tackle this would be the best way to introduce them as a new race and also get cantha involved since Tengu are originally from there.

Exciting time for future story speculation.

Finish the story, the rewards were shit, and that final mission was annoying...

Why would you expect good rewards from the first episode? Or really from story content at all? ;p
Forgot to mention I was REALLY surprised that
Primordus is the next dragon. I could have sworn he was the leader among them all and have always thought he was going to be the dead last villain of GW2.
Before info about Zhaitan I thought he would be the first because of the EotN story. The biggest baddest villain has always been Kralk for me.

All their actions are so independent that perhaps there isn't a leader at all. As for the strongest, it will simply be whomever we fight last ;p Although we can still speculate just based on what their ability is, how they amass their army and go off of that. I mean, Mordremoth was damn near invincible and basically required a lucky gimmick to take him out. Zhaitan went out luck a chump though haha

ugh, might as well do this gift of battle track just to finish this suffering

If we only get a dragon per expansion they'll be ready to move on to GW3 by the time we slay them all.

so any tips on getting gift of battle easily? EotM with complete wvw and exp buffs?
they should have really made earning points for doing wvw tasks than simply relegating it to participation.

I finally saved up enough Magnetite Shards to buy the coolest raid reward!
And a bunch of us finally got enough Legendary Insights this week to be able to craft the Legendary Armor.
If only they would now finish it and put it in the game. :<

Man, I've been so busy I still haven't touch this new Living Story.
I usually come home, do stuff, and spend around 1h, 1h30m per day (and not even all week days) playing PS4 on the sofa.
A console version of GW2 would be godlike.
Anyway, wondering if this LS story is well paced, well structured. Anyone care to give some spoiler free insight on this?

Have you considered joining the ranks of the GAFers that use controllers for GW2?
LS3 Story thus far is short, but there is a lot going on. Mostly it's the player catching up with LS2 characters and then winding up in the middle of a shitstorm made by old GW1 antagonists and figuring out what they did to cause it. It ends on an ominous note, hopefully they can follow up with something good.

I guess if I do two tiers a day, I can get GoB without problem

It would just be incredible. I still regularly look at the Cantha art and listen to the soundtrack. I don't think I've ever see a western developer pay homage to a eastern inspired game. It's not that I don't want to play whatever else they got cooking, be it more deserts, snowy mountains or what not. It's just... damn...

I have a feeling we'll be waiting at least a couple months. :/

Ugh, that mission is horrible. It's been bugged since release. Godspeed.
It a shame since it is a pretty good fight, but good god all the bugs. Sucks that some of them still exist it seems.

Awesome. Thank you. I will probably play again in a couple of hours, because I just hate the game right now.

Again thank you very much. We beat the mission quicker than me alone finishing Eir and Canach, lol.

I've not seen any bugs since they patched it, and most of the stuff I've seen complained about has been misunderstandings about mechanics or just poor mechanics in general.

I don't think I ever really understood how The Juggernaut's effect worked until now.
It uses the color of the environmental lighting, so depending on where you stand, it can look completely different even with the same dyes. (All of those were taken while using Celestial Dye.)

Indeed. Juggernaut is an awesome weapon. I want it foe my next legendary, should I ever play enough for that.

Also to add to the cool effect buy Poly Luminescent (Orange) and if you own Balthzar outfit, the combo with the poly/juggy is great...

So I know the NPC for converting karma to linen (that crab charr renown heart in Bloodtide Coast, you buy his crab light gloves), but what about wool and cotton?
Squall ASF
Member
Holy crap I wish I knew about that when I was making my ascended armor! Wasted a bunch of gold buying Linen ;p
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
basically you convert karma to mats by buying them in bulk then tossing them into the toilet to make then salvageable, you'd occasionally get duds like spawning another karma gear but you will mostly still make salvageable stuff
since I am making bough of melandru I am needing 10 (I think) of the ascended cloth and after amassing so many of the gated component it's just spending karma for cloth mats

Ah ok, made my set a while back but if I ever make another I'll try to remember that. My current struggle is Soft, Hard, and Seasoned wood. I just need to spend a bunch of gold to buy them which is what has kinda diminished my playtime haha Just need to bite the bullet because there's nothing more worth spending my gold on than stuff to make a legendary. Farming Elder wood is bad enough and I could only bring myself to do it because of how convenient Malchor's Leap is for it. I'd lose all sanity farming the other woods ;p Once I buy the lower woods, I can get the heck out of Tier 2 for Nevermore and it will be far more fun and such smoother sailing for the final two tiers. Except the damn Aglemetory Stones or whatever they are called. Going to be fun getting 250 of those...
