I’m keeping it to bullet points, no wall of text:

PvE zones:
Beautiful work from the artists and dev but not enough of them
8/10

Story:
Predictable but the best Anet has done so far
7.5/10

Adventures:
Good idea and proper implementation
8/10

Mastery system:
Feels like a grind to make the game survive until more content is released, but interesting none the less
7/10

New Dungeons/Raids:
Nothing yet in the xpac… Really disappointing. 6.5/10 for raid hype.

PvP, Stronghold:
Only 1 small map and no system changes? Stronghold should be for 10v10 and needs more maps, it’s not the GvG we expected. No changes to the PvP lobby either.
3/10

WvW:
New map is great and again beautiful artist work, however no improvements to the core WvW population problems. the map is too big for the population so nobody plays it.
5/10

Items:
A few more materials and skins, but the only interesting things are legendary grinds
5/10

New legendaries design:
9/10 The new staff is kinda kitsch but well done

Guild Halls:
Beautiful and really well done
9/10

Guild Arenas:
Not proper for GvGs again, too small, no interface to invite people, no stats, no countdown, bad implementation
3/10

Elite Spec:
Chronomancer: 9/10
Revenant Class: 9/10
Tempest: 2.5/10 (worse thing I’ve ever seen Anet do, it wasn’t ready and is unfinished) Community feedback was ignored
Reaper: 8/10 Great
Scrapper: 10/10 Best work so far on making interesting skills
Druid: 7/10 Support isn’t really good in this game
Berserker: 8/10 Good but War already in a good spot
Guardian: 8/10 TY for listening to community feedback
Daredevil: 9/10 Interesting try at doing something new

In general: 8/10

Elite Spec Balance with the rest of the classes and non-elite builds:
Not sure what happened there but this is a complete disaster. Some weapon types are no longer viable in pvp.
2/10

Overall: 75/100
Great addition to the core game specially on the PvE side. It remains to be seen if the pvp and WvW offering are enough to keep the competitive players interested.

That’s about as short as I could make it.
