I have to say, I loved the addition of a new themed backpack with every LS3 chapter.
Please keep doing this, much love. (I didn’t get the bloodstone fen’s one, though, it seems a little weird, especially for a bloodstone themed item. it looks almost like a christmas decoration).
But I want to give a little feedback on the latest collection.
First and foremost, the praise.
I loved the collection, I loved that the fact that the only way of getting it was actively participating in the map’s activities, and that is something that should’ve been in the previous map as well. Doing events, killing bosses, completing hearts, chasing druids, it’s a lot more engaging and involving than “gathering 500 winterberries while not getting sick of all the chills”. So please, do a similar process for map 6, I’m really curious what you’ll bring.
Now for the feedback:
It was a great collection, but the thing that vexed me is, while the timegating was okay, really, I didn’t like the method of timegating. Doing the same 4 hearts 9 times gets to you. Especially when 2 hearts have so little to do. South heart is nothing but killing pocket raptors and freeing people from vines. If you’re lucky, you can catch the druid event for like 20-40% of the progress. As well as the eastern heart, where there’s nothing to do but kill 50 bandits, and if you’re lucky, the cannons are alive, but destroying a cannon is very inefficient because the time it takes and the progress you make is less than killing bandits in the same time. so yea.. (but I loved the inquest heart, I’m always finished there before I notice it).
So, my suggestion is, keep up the good work, loving the new collection and the backpacks. However, try to find alternative means to the timegating. I’m sure there are better alternatives. Maybe a timelock on the collection itself, like, you complete the collection, and then you have to wait a day before an NPC gets new dialogue and opens the next part of the collection.

Speculation part
—
It’s my speculation that the next chapter will be in the cold norths again regardless of the leaked images because Braham has this Shoot-A-Dragon-Magic-Bow[sup]tm[/sup] and can probably kill Jormag with it, if it’s knocked out like Primo is. So we chase him, we’re in time to convince him, we’re in time to knock him out, or we’re too late, and whatever else happens then. So, what kind of backpack could we expect in this kind of scenario. If it’s ice-themed again, it has to substantially different from a set of horns (maybe a torn cape with ice, or a frozen backplate) but it could be something entirely else as well, maybe balthazar or kralkatorrik themed.
(My onlyy request for anet is, for chapter 6 if we go back past bitterfrost frontier, please don’t include another quaggan in the story, I just can’t take whatever happens seriously when you do)
@Anet: fix the [sup]high[/sup] and [sub]low[/sub] scripts
