I have to agree with you here, Bounties are fine, there seems to be crazy stuff in there, but the rest feels a little bit tame.
I have no issues with it being like that if there are other areas on the maps that are a bit more intense, but if everything is like that I'm not interested much ...
The new map looks really nice though.
(reposting these here from the other thread)

I don't like the raptor, it feels too clunky IMHO. Hopefully the other mounts are better.
I'm glad the normal horizontal maps are back I find them so much more enjoyable and user friendly.

I would expect anyone who comes to the second expansion for this game as their first thing they've ever done in it would get their ass handed to them regardless and should probably expect as much themselves.
I'm hoping for a little bit of a difficulty increased compared to what we have now. As someone else mentioned, I have no clue what any of these enemies do cuz they all just die too fast and don't pose any real threat.

You can use the dis-mount for jumping exploration, the dis-mount makes your character jump up and you can glide almost right away, been using it to scale areas i feel like i can get too..

Another nice touch was the tour guide person who informs you about the various elite specializations basically says he doesn't know anything about Revenants and Renegades because they don't really have those in Elona and all the ones here are mostly foreigners.
These are the little details I fucking love that the core game and HoT were missing.

I think it'll be harder at launch. Right now though this is acting as something of a marketing event so you don't want the completely new people to have no fun at all.

Which reminds me I need to let my friends know about the Demo weekend.

the rabbit mount makes it clear this is an intended mechanic too, so i imagine it'll be used in jumping puzzles and such.
yeah, i'm really glad about this. Feels really thematic and grounded.
Hey Hawkian, if I downloaded the correct gamepad set up from you (which I believe I did), then X is bound to R1/RB + dpad down already (which is also the F5 skill).
It seems like (though I've only tested it with the random mesmer that I made) that it prioritizes the mount over the F5 skill if they are both not on CD. Not sure yet how things work in battle but thought it was worth mentioning.
edit: seems like mount is disabled after combat begins so it shouldn't cause any conflict I think? Though maybe it might on another profession. I've not tested much out besides that.

wat? amazing
One of the NPC's refer to them as 'specializations' which I find a bit odd personally.

Hey if anyone can throw a guild invite my way it would be much appreciated. WhiteWalker 8193.
Was in the guild a few years back but life took me away from the game. Checking things out to see if I should get both expansions.
Thanks !

I hope so. I just want my inventory space to add up to a satisfying 200 instead of the awkward 160.
The skybox at night is amazing.
The town area is usually a bigger hit than what we're used to. Honestly I think it's due to open sight lines making it harder to cull stuff. That and they're likely not quite done optimizing yet, I'm sure they're using this beta to gather a lot of data for that.
Yeah every time I go to check to see if something needs to be added, it already has been. Impressive work.
Try deleting your cache
- Close your game completely.
- Browse your My Computer to: C:\Users\YourComputerUserName
- Then in the window menus, click on Tools then Folder Options
- In the window that pops up, click the View tab
- Select to Show hidden files, folders and drives and click OK (attached image #1)
- You should now see a folder in your file listing called AppData, open this folder
- Inside that folder open the Local folder
- Inside that folder open the Temp folder
- You should now see a folder called gw2cache-{bunch-of-letters-and-numbers}.
- Delete these gw2cache folder.

What server is everyone on? Sorry, none of the images in the OT seem to load for me.
I'm dealing with this weird issue with the GW2 launcher / installer. Downloads a few percentage then the download speed slows to 0 kb/s and locks up my computer. Finally got to 25% to be able to open the client just now after 2 hours.
Messed w/ Firewall, Antivirius, everything, so I'm not sure what it is.

Servers only matter for WvW, otherwise everything is on megaservers. NA and EU are separate though as a whole. As for your download issue, it could be a port issue. Check here:

I feel like a complete buffoon but I cannot for the life of me figure out how I'm supposed to get to the Crystal Oasis or where to start the Path of Fire's 1st Chapter. I have the invite in my inventory but there's nothing in my hero journal or anything like that. Where the heck do I go?

They implemented hearts that are repeatable daily with daily rewards for said completion. They're present in PoF as well.
You know what's really cool?
I had done 6 or so bounties and just a bit ago, Ash and I saw a new mechanic neither of us had seen before. The randomness factor of those mechanics will keep bounties feeling fresh for a long time.
Having spawnable on demand group content is so damn good.
Each bounty can spawn with different mechanics.
It's awesome cause there's 18 bounties in the first zone alone.
Let's just hope they built that system so that they can add more of those as times goes, would be a shame for it to become boring after we all master the half dozen variations involved.

doesn't matter as long as you're on NA. If you care about WvW, do some research a pick a server with some active guilds
Alright, thanks

I just realized something.
At first I was against mounts in core tyria, but now I realized its beauty.
NO MORE REQUIRED SPEED TRAITS.
though this means RIP traveler runes

Yeah this is the bit that convinced me that core mounts was okay.
That said, I really wish they'd followed in the path of the junundu and made it so that you have to go to a specific place(s) to mount up. Like, you had to find a raptor to mount a raptor. It would allow for interesting puzzle-y gameplay too.
For example: There's a chasm that's easily crossed by the raptor mount, but there's a cliff you need the rabbit mount to get to. Since you can only use one mount, you have to find an alternate way to cross the chasm which involved a jumping puzzle with the rabbit mount so that you can access the cliff.
Idk, just seems more organic. These are still the best feeling mounts in an MMO but I'm not huge on the concept still.
Guards everywhere rejoice.

finally, no more sticks and RETREAT
Agreed, I would love to see them add new bounties every LW update. Even just NEW encounters in the new zones and maybe new modifiers to the existing pool to keep the old ones fresh too. I really hope the bounty system is something they expand on.

Doing map completion in the HoT maps and it's so difficult to find anyone for the hero points. I don't remember it being this hard to find others for them.
I hope there are no more HoT legendaries I'm interested in after The Shining Blade so I don't have to do it a third time.
Astralaria was worth it though.
