Guild Wars 2

The long and short of it is, I am looking forward to HoT.

Changes to Skill/Hero points? approve, I don’t like the current system and it sounds like the new system will be simpler than the current one for unlocking.

Changes to Trait lines? approve, I don’t like that my combat power is tied to the traits I chose. Sure more is better, and we get “stuck” with only 3 lines, but we get more potential out of each line.

Changes to Traits? cautious. I think we’ll find that nearly every choice in a trait line is fairly direct for us. I don’t think we’ll see too often where people pick the same 3 lines, but not the same traits in the lines (at least for “effective” builds), but that’s the story with the system we have and the Meta concept of min-maxing so it’s not a big change.

Changes to Armor stats? cautious. I understand wanting to spread the stats taken from traits around, I would have rather seen it as two different selectable groups. I think it should be ok though with only needing to carry various accessories to change up stats enough.

Addition of elite spec? cautious. I don’t carry around every weapon combo I could use on every character. either the spec is going to be something I like, in which case I won’t NOT use it (yes we can field change but it’s not fluid for me), or I won’t like it won’t touch it.

Legendary quests? AGREE. I haven’t ever gotten a precursor, having a specific path to build up and earn one/multiple will be nice.

just my 2 copper. You can agree or disagree, but I think it’s something nice to look forward too.

Everything you mention, save Elite Specializations, and the Precursor Mastery Lines will be released before HoT. So, you won’t have to wait nearly as long as you were expecting! =)

Good luck.
