Weaver 10!!!- perfect spec for me!

Spellbreaker- 6- boring as warrior usually is

Scourge- 10!- so much fun!

Deadeye- 3- only good effect of skills, skills and mechanics are boring as hell.

Soulbeast- 8- I think it is great, but the stances effects are too short/ should have passive effects.

Mirage- 2- the greatest disappointment for me.. one plus for skills effects and some effort.

Renegade- 5- Herald is way better.

Firebrand- 5- Dragonhunter is so great, Firebrand is so complicated… Too much everything.

Holosmith- 8- well designed. At last something good for Engi.

Weaver and Scourge are great to me and I’m looking forward to see them in action.

Ok. I see.

So the spear is still somewhere in the Crystal Desert.

So wait… if Glint was telling the truth and only this can kill him, so if we rid of the spear… we are in the dead end, so if Balthazar will find it… wait what if one of Destiny’s Edge is a traitor, because Balthazar would have to know this secret of Glint and DE, so only they know..

Has somebody told Balthazar how to kill Kralkatorrik? If the spear can only kill him…

OMG.. Somebody will betray us!! Logan, Rytlock? Zojja is not likely. Or… Caithe…

Caithe… she is still betraying us? Is she working for Balthazar?
Or Rytlock… Did he meet Balthazar in the Mists?

That’s kinda scary. But I think we must prepare for the betrayal of somebody.

Maybe Kasmeer… She is so focused on the Gods so it’s likely she is able to serve her God…

I don’t know…

“I went to the Mists after my sword, but I found something else”~Rytlock

According to the book about the Dragons (Lore Forum) there is very intriguing thing. It’s written that Glint had the spear that can kill Kralkatorrik. She said that to Rytlock.

That’s kinda weird because in the Eye’s vision we saw that a dragon had been killed by… the spear…

Is this the spear that Glint had kept??

Why didn’t Rytlock kill Kralkatorrik? Did other members of Destiny’s Edge know?

_Is the spear still in Glint’s lair? Somebody stole it? Did Rytlock hide it?

Rytlock is hiding so many things… that makes me so upset…

Glint, the spear, Rytlock, Destiny’s Edge, Kralkatorrik, Aurene, Gleam, the Commander, Balthazar, Kormir. <—— Those are the most interesting things/characters in PoF.

I think all of us are wondering why the spell in Ascalon opened the gate to the Mists…

Did it even help to rid of the ghosts?

Or did he open it by his own will to get something? Maybe the spear is in the Mists?

Oh maaaaaan I have no idea what’s going on.

that is so complicated, but it seems Destiny’s Edge topic will return in PoF, even if it doesn’t exist anymore.

We are going to the places where the humanity was making its 1st steps, Gods, Glint, Kralkatorrik…

The point of this topic is that the spear can only kill Kralkatorrik and we are going to fight for it with Balthazar, the vision shows the past and the future, it also shows Balthazar and his mind, his point in the Crystal Desert, but his motivations are still unknown.

200 gems=50-60 gold=2-3 Tarir Metas/2 world boss runs=1 episode.

Season 2:
8 Episodes=1600 gems=400g=23 Tarir Metas/16 world boss runs
So it takes 16 days only world boss runs- yellow gear, a chance to get exotic

or 2 tarir metas takes few days less- much more yellow gear, bigger chance to get exotics, more expensive materials.

So it will take 10-16 days if you will play regularly. Sell mats, destroy yellows for globs of ectoplasm-more gold, and you will get them all before PoF release.

Gold is easy to farm in:
1) HoT metas- Verdant Brink, Auric Basin, Tangled Depths and Dragon’s Stand.
2) Tequatl and other World Bosses
3) 40 lvl Fractal- you have to have some Agony Resistance (you can buy them for gold)
4) Events in Silverwastes/chest farms.
5) Dungeons
6) PvP- season has started so playing Ranked Matches gives you pips, more pips=better rewards.
7) WvW- find the commander on the Borderlands, Eternal Battleground- you will also get pips every 5 minutes by your participation.

It makes newbies upset that you have to pay for seasons, but it just rewards people who get into the game regularly.

If Season 4 will start, just get into the game and unlock episodes forever. You can also unlock 6 episode of Season 3 I think.

You just have to click the green star above mini map and you don’t need to start any chapter, just log in and click the green star.

There are many ways to get the gold and you don’t need to spend your dollars. to get your episodes

50 gold is not much for 1 episode- if you will play the game ~5hrs per day so I am sure you will get them all fast.

All the promises of Kormir and other Gods had been given to GW1 characters, so we should not be surprised that Balthazar came here and want this world back and doesn’t care about our PCs if GW1 chars died hundreds years ago.

After watching the diary and reading/watching 3 interviews I am convinced the story of PoF will be good.

It will be focused on Balthazar and the Gods mostly so it’s coming back to old, good times before LS3 chaos.

Braham’s thread will not take a part thankfully, so it’s the topic for LS4.

You should not expect LS4 in 2017 at all.

One month after the launch there will be Halloween Event, then in the middle of December Wintersday begins, so LS4 will most likely start in the late January/February 2018.

So we will have 4-5 months break to figure out all the PoF features.

Oh. Something happened to my 2nd post in there… I was trying to make myself clear.

2-3 months spaces between the episodes were good because the players have had more time to unlock the episodes and that was better than LS2.

Didn’t LS1 have Fractured episode? I’ve always thought it introduced Fractals, well it seems I was wrong.

Also I agree the breaks are good, but Devs were talking about the quality of all the things in LS3 and this is why we had them every few months, but IMO only maps’ designers did their job, and story who should be at the 1st place went on the background.

I see positives, I really do, but the quality of story was ‘meh’.

And I was waiting after episode 1 that the things will look better, episode 1 was great, but then this stupid Braham’s thread, Taimi’ex-machina made it so bad… It just destroyed the atmosphere of mystery, also this Lazarus’ thread was really weird. I was talking about it many times on LS forum, so there is no need to focus on that right now.

LS1 had its point- Scarlet
LS2 had its point- Glint’s Egg
LS3 did not have any point, it was all about make people confused.

Also Core Story had the point- Zhaitan, Sylvari- new race in Tyria.
In HoT- Mordremoth and Sylvari

I am worried about PoF Story if it will look like 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th episodes I’ll quit this game forever.

I am a lore player and I am not playing BabyRage, I just want a good piece of story and I want to enjoy in every detail.

The Head of the Snake was not so bad but killing my fave char in the end was a dire mistake.

I just want to get a good story, nothing more, but LS3 maps were only outstanding, the story was far away from perfection and LS1 story was nearer.

The breaks between the LS3 episodes were very annoying, even if it was about the quality I was really upset for waiting next 2-3 months for almost the same things. The story of LS3 is good but waiting so long for them was bad for many of my friends, guildies, and it made some of them only coming back to game when episode hit and then I and others I know did not know what to do after.

LS1 had a lot of amazing content- introduction of Fractals, Edge of the Mists, seasonal events and really good story and the episodes had been released more regulary and the story had really good quality.

LS1 lasted for over one year (from January 2013 to March 2014) and had probably 20 episodes (correct me if I’m wrong).

LS2 lasted ~6 months and had 8 episodes, but had probably the best story so far, secrets, changing the course of actions.

LS3 lasted for exactly one year from July 2016 to July 2017, but as I said the breaks were too long.

LS4 will certainly start in January 2018 so I really hope it will contain like 20 episodes with great quality in every month or less, so people will not be like “I dont know what to do during this long break”.

Also it seems the next expansion will be in 2019 so it surely be the underwater expansion with Bubbles/Selbbub. He will attack Lion’s Arch (mark my words).

So maybe Tengu are the topic for 4th expansion or LS5, because if Bubbles will attack Lion’s Arch it must involve Tengu to get out. So Tengu will be playable race in 2023

Don’t laugh. Mark my words.

Pofc launch trailer.

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Arden.7480

Arden.7480

I think it might happen.

We got 4 trailers before HoT:
-The announcement trailer with Airships’ crash and Sylvari’ betrayal. (After LS2 ending)
-The teaser trailer with Caithe (after LS2 ending)
-The trailer with Rytlock burning the Tarir’s gate (PAX trailer)
-The teaser trailer with Mordremoth (month before the launch)

In PoF we’ve got 2 trailers (+LS3 recap):
-Eye of Janthir’s vision (after LS3 ending)
-Path of Fire trailer (in the announcement)
+we got some pictures during devs’ talking.

There is only 18 days for the launch but there is still a space to put at least one teaser.

Story Week begins today so I am looking forward to get some important news about Kralkatorrik/Palawa Joko, because the 2 trailers we have are so Balthazar’s centric.

Anyway if there will not be any other trailers I can bear it because expansion hits in like 2,5 weeks!

“The Elder Dragon is no more”

So... Balthazar plot hole? (spoilers)

in Living World

Posted by: Arden.7480

Arden.7480

So to summon the Gods we can gather some aspects?

I doubt Balthazar was summoned instead if he had one of the aspects. He rather even more complicated Xera’s plan.

We have a lot to learn and I am glad Balthazar didn’t say anything about his plans, what he was doing, why he is doing this.

I am glad the trailer showed some really good things and is not as misleading as LS3 ones.

“They dimmed my light” sounds like the other Gods did something bad to him because in the trailer he says he not only want to get the powers back but also he wants to be the only God, so it is really interesting.

He consumed the Bloodstone who might have a connection to the Gods, then he discuised himself as Lazarus to reveal that he is Balthazar in fact to make people like: if one god is bad so others must be as well, so it looks like he wanted to punish them in that way. Then he wanted to destroy Tyria, at least he didn’t care if Tyria’d be destroyed. He was ready to destroy the place that was created by him as well- another way to punish other Gods so the others could never return here, thankfully we stopped him so there is a hope. I wondet if we would not stop him the other Gods would appear in the volcano to punish him, I think yes. Because the spirit trees in Draconis Mons asked us to leave but when we said we want to stop Balthazar he wanted to give us their protection. It seems these creatures have a connection to Melandru.

Then he went to Orr, he made some damage to Orr activating his Temple in Straits of Devastation, also he’d putted Lazarus’ aspect in Abaddon’s reliquary.

About Aurene- I think he just wanted to gain our trust.

But one detail wonders me- there was no reaction of Mercenaries, 4 of them stood just near him and they said nothing. That was kinda weird.

Anyway I let Balthazar tell his story.

I really enjoyed HoT and I am still enjoying, people are helpful.

I am complaining about the story, because it was way too short. It was the expansion, I payed for great story, I expected long story with many interesting things, but there were many lacks in that story. A lot of Sylvari threads were missed, it was meant to be Sylvari story, but I think they unnecesarly removed many good plots like: Nightmare Court and their fight against Mordremoth, missing Malyck topic (he was born from the other tree than Pale Tree), some more discovering in many places of the maps (there was plenty of that in LS3 maps).

I’d be pleased if we would go to another places in Tyria to ask for help- Durmand Priory for example- and ask what to do, I was kinda weird that we suddenly hit on an idea to went into Mordremoth’s mind and destroy it. Out of nowhere.

But I don’t think it was bad, but it felt too short and many interesting things were missing.

I think the city like LA deserves to have great theme. I don’t agree it’s too energetic or loud. How do you imagine trumpet being like violin or organs like harp? I think it’s very epic and always gives me chills.

LA has always had amazing soundtrack, the Lament of Lion’s Arch is my favorite and current one is pretty amazing. I think it depends on the style of all of us so I don’t want to argue about it, but IMO the theme is just perfect (btw it was recorded by the live orchestra).

There is a theory floating around that the mirror was in the reliquaries, and Balthazar picked it up during his visit.

I’m not sure I’m convinced by this, however. The evidence suggests that Balthazar only visited the reliquaries once and that was after he had adopted (and possibly after he had lost?) the Lazarus disguise.

That is an interesting theory. But I am also not convinced by this. It looks stupid if we imagine it: “I, Balthazar came back to Tyria, because somebody dimmed my light (puff the lamp off), I went to Orr first and I was searching for some things, so I stole the mirror in the Lyssa’s reliquary and I remembered the lesson from my school that the mirrors can be used to disguise as somebody else, yes I fought all the time and do you think I really care about it? Oh and I had a wonderful idea to disguise myself into Lazarus- ohh my genius- never fails me (Facepalm).”

It doesn’t make sense… He went to Orr then somehow he found the mirror, used to disguise himself and suddenly he appeared during the Xera’s experiment then he suddenly consumed the Bloodstone, I think he stole the mirror from Lyssa, or at least she gave it to him.

One Path Ends “said” that Balthazar appeared there, I am sure that the people would notice him if he would search every reliquary in Siren’s Landing, there were many curious Sylvari, ancient queens and kings, but they all were surprised that he appeared there in the last episode (correct me if I am not right).

If it would be Caithe I’d be surprised at all. She is a… shadow- as she said. But the God who as people theorize visited Orr and was searching for some items would get unnoticed that’d be stupid.

It must have the connection to Lyssa herself, at least I hope it has.

It’s so hard to say what happened to Balthazar, it’s harder to say what he was doing before absorbing Bloodstone Fen’s bloodstone.

Lyssa’s mirror intrigues me. I can’t wait to know how he got it.

I am sure Balthazar won’t be killed easily, I think he will not be killed anyway.

That was kinda great when his sword smashed us in the volcano. I hope it won’t be the sugar story with the happy end. It must end bad.

That was what can happen if we will fight alone with some friends.

This is what must happen if we want to defeat Balthazar: the other Gods must return.

And it’s so likely as never before. Especially because Balthazar wants to be the only God so the Gods must involve themselves into Tyria’s matters again, as in Nightfall.

That’s also interesting he wants to be the only God- how does he imagine to kill 5 other Gods? What did the Gods do to him? How did he get the mirror?

I can’t wait to know the answers that only Balthazar can answer.


Off topic. We will get 5 huge maps, I heard the interview with Story team and they said that the story will be much longer than HoT’s. They also revealed that Kasmeer will especially be interested in the matter of Gods- nothing surprising but at least it’s confirmed.

I think it will look like LS3 episodes- 1 chapter in the first instance, then some discovering and doing some story quests on the map and then the last chapter who announces the next episode, then in the 2nd map the same and on and on, but I expect something more in the last map, perhaps 1-2 more chapters.

So I predict we’ll have 10-12 chapters+15-17 story quests+some additional elements like diaries of the villagers/enemies/friends+normal dialogues.

I hope there will be more chapters than 12, but it is most likely. Anyway I really hope we will get good story with breathtaking ending.

“Kralkatorrik remained in the northern Crystal Desert for roughly ten years, being among the forces preventing movement into Elona for all except the Order of Whispers. Recently, it flew off again, moving southwest towards Vabbi and extending its Dragonbrand.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Balthazar thread would end in PoF story. I think Balthazar is only building his forces in the Crystal Desert. Then he will go straight to Kralkatorrik. Kralkatorrik is huge and Balthazar knows right about it. Also as the good villain he deserves to be really good character for the future story. I am glad he is not like Scarlet and he is planning everything so perfectly. Everything was perfect until our characters complicated his plans to be the greatest character in Tyria. I really hope he will not die.. I want Balthazar to play the huge role in future releases

Bloodstone Fen’s bloodstone was also the Shard. I didn’t make myself clean. I meant just the shards are nothing when you compare it with Dragons’ magic.

in Path 4 we found the shard weakened because of Risen’s influence. Also it is likely that Zhaitan consumed most of the power so the magic of this shard was released when Zhaitan died. And we found this shard totally weakened so when we destroyed it then nothing bad happened.

“The Bloodstone Shard is the largest shard kept in Arah after the original Bloodstone’s shattering. Unlike other, smaller, shards it was left in place by the Risen forces. It can be encountered when following Randall Greyston in his explorable path of the Ruined City of Arah.”~ Wiki.

So the other small pieces of this shard could be found just after killing the corrupted Priests. So perhaps they were also Bloodstone-crazed. But the bloodstone was corrupted by Zhaitan so this is why they served him.

There was one Bloodstone who blew apart in Abaddon’s Mouth volcano into 5 pieces- we and Zhaitan destroyed one, White Mantle and Balthazar destroyed second one.

So if we are lucky the other 3 are untouched. But one of them is known to be in the Shiverpeaks so Jormag is likely using it to keep himself powerful. Other 2 (If I am not wrong) are remaining unknown.

I wish Nightfall theme would be used in PoF because it fits so much to the Crystal Desert.

Yes it can be impossible- Trahearne’s Wyld Hunt was impossible because in his dream he saw that he must clean Orr but he also saw Orr as the green, shining place once more.

Spoilers from GW2, HoT, LS3 and PoF!!

With Balthazar’s return we must meet with Randall because in Arah Path 4 we learned that he is about to find the Gods.

In the end of P4 he said that he heard their voices from the Bloodstone.

Perhaps this is why Balthazar’s first target was Bloodstone, but it turned out it did not have enough power to rebuild weakened Balthazar.

Jeff Grubb said that the Bloodstone’s thread will return in future expansions so we saw it just after HoT so it is most likely we will hear about them in PoF especially because of Gods. Because the Gods created it- created 1 bloodstone and the people could not handle its power so it was broken into 5 pieces.

I hope Randall will return to the story and he will tell us how ‘searching for Gods’ worked.

We should talk to him not to a Priest of [Chicken Sounds] Balthazar.

Dragons’ magic is more powerful than Bloodstone’s.

Balthazar took one of them but it was not enough to rebuild his lost powers. It turned everybody’s crazy but Balthazar is not changed in any ways.

Anyway one of the Bloodstones was destroyed in Arah (path 4).

So chasing after some artifacts would be stupid. Balthazar did 2 things who made easier his way to rebuild his powers- he consumed the bloodstone and gained the respect of White Mantle.

Balthazar said (just after consuming some Jormag and Primordus’ magic) that "he is feeling much better" so that shows Bloodstone wasn’t enough.

BTW the another dragons consumed both Mordremoth’s and Zhaitan’s powers so they are even more powerful than when they last stirred. Kralkatorrik is such giantic dragon but I am sure after consuming the magic of the others he is much bigger and he contains much more magic than before.

Look at Primordus in GW1 and in LS3- he is much, much, much bigger than in GW1.

Mordemoth’s magic and influence were really big- Mordremoth was the whole Maguuma Jungle and his powers spread even far away from his domain!! It reached to Dragonbrand in Ascalon!!

Zhaitan’s army reached Tarnished Coast, Kryta and more regions.

Imagine if Destiny’s Edge would kill Kralkatorrik... If they would then other Dragons would awake and Tyria would never handle it. But it happened now! We killed 2 Dragons and see what happened- we are in the dead end.. Look how disasterous it was. Now suddenly we must PROTECT THEM!! Because if another dragon dies all life on Tyria will be destroyed.

Now you see that Bloodstone’s magic is nothing when you compare it with Dragons’.

It was not a good idea to use it at start. The best way to know the profession is to start from 0, but if you want to play druid you only have to run on the HoT maps and search for Hero Points. People are always helpful so you write for example: “I need help with HP” then you can put waypoint/point of interest code on map chat and wait a bit. You can also search for the squad for HP runs on LFG. For example Verdant Bring HP run or Auric Basin or Tangled Depths. Dragon’s Stand is really easy map with easy ways to get it. You can use some help on Youtube- a lot of videos how to get to each HP.

If you want you can get all of HPs in World vs World- you will get 6-7 points for every WvW level then you can exchange them into Hero Points at the special merchants who are standing close to the spawn places.

You can do both ways- some PvE, some WvW.

You can check Druid in PvP- every specialization is unlocked in PvP.

If you have any question just ask here or in-game. People are really helpful here.

Guild wars 2 music.

@Anthony I am glad you enjoyed it! As you know already it was composed by Maclaine Diemer- he works for Anet since it started. Most of Season 1,2 and 3 are his soundtracks. I love them!

@Ashantara I admire J. Soule for his music and he just gave the soul into Guild Wars. M. Diemer continues his legacy and his music is equal to J. Soule’s. I love that the music of GW stands on the highest level since GW started. If everything would be on the music’s high level then GW2 would be the best game ever created. But I am happy the music is beyond everything and that is what counts for me. PoF bought me because of the music.

@Randulf We got Crystal Oasis Redux (if I am not mistaken with the name) in Season 2. Also there is a lot of GW music in GW2 composed by J. Soule.

About the PoF theme. I am not crazy about this because the themes were always epic. New one is not bad, it is really good. But it should use some epicness.

Demo HoT theme was different than official HoT theme. I think the composers keep the official theme for September 22.

I love the PoF music especially combat ones. As I said the music bought me and I want to give my money to the composers for the amazing music and the highest quality of soundtracks.

The dragon we saw being burned in trailer

We asked the Eye of Janthir to show where is Balthazar, we didn’t ask ‘what will happen’.

I believe the Eye was not tricky because it saw within us that we are equal to the Eye.

In the vision we saw:
1) The head of the dragon who is turning burned.
2) We see a lot of people who are serving Balthazar and they are killing the dragon
3) then we see Balthazar and Crystal Desert who is turning into ashes.

This dragon who is killed by the spear must be one of Kralkatorrik’s creatures.

It is not likely to be Gleam at all. I was hyped that it could be Gleam but it’d be really poor plot… Especially because of Aurene.

But perhaps this shows us- the players fighting with the grand Kralkatorrik’s champion- epic boss fight? Maybe…

But this dragon doesn’t look like the Shatterer, he looks like Glint… Like Aurene… I really hope it is not Gleam I want to know his story.

We’ll see.

Fear not this night was sung in the last chapter of Season 3.

Sadly it was not. If we would then I would surely know about it

Fear not this night is obviously Sylvari theme. It was sang from the perspective of the Pale Tree- the Mother of all Sylvari
It is about going through any difficulties, problems in Tyria and the first huge problem was Zhaitan and the role of Pale Tree to kill him was huge. This is why we heard this song/instrumental version 3 times in the last 2 missions of Personal Story.

It was also played just after breakdown of Mordremoth’s mind, when Trahearne asked us to give his Sword- the Sword who is a part of the Pale Tree.

But this song is universal for every Race. It is not, as you said “fighting Zhaitan theme”.

It was played in the times of success, it was played when all seemed good. This song should be called ’Restored Hope" it is all about hope for every Race.

This topic about Sylvari being the most important race for long is only because this Race was created only 30 years ago (something around it) so it is reasonable to put this race at the 1st place.

Were you complaining about GW1 that there was only Human as playable Race? About that only Human were defeating threads?

And GW2 was not only about Sylvari, I loved Personal Story for that it was multi-race story- your race 1st, then cooprating with Orders=other Races then facing with them to defeat Zhaitan’s minions and only in the end Trahearne played a huge role- his Wyld Hunt was to clean Orr using the Sword- Caladbolg then all the Races defeated Zhaitan together.

It was played in LS2 as the Pale Tree Chamber theme, I don’t know how in LS1 but it was played in LS2. Also during the Pale Tree vision in Dragon’s Reach part 2.

Season 3 started with Human thread and we heard Primordus has became active, also Jormag, there were no space to put FNTN in Season 3, but I hoped it could be in the last episode, sadly it was not.

I hope the Pale Tree has another advice to give, it’d be awesome she’d give us a 3rd vision. She also deserves as anyone else to see Aurene in her chamber. It’s all thanks her we knew about the Egg. This was amazing that she is like Glint, they gave as clues and helped us as they could.

But well PoF gives me hope that the Pale Tree will recover for these events to come. I’d like to hear her song once more.

I was convinced that the Thirdborn (or whatever they are called) were born just after Mordremoth’s death. So it is important to see these new Sylvari are changed by Mordremoth’s plant magic as Aurene is or they’re not.

“Fear not this Night” is the song who is played in the special occasions in the story. It always gives me chills.

It is supposed to be Sylvari theme but I am really worried it will no longer be played in any other LS or PoF.

When I heard Sylvari plot won’t be continued I felt really sad… We have Caithe in LS3 but it is weird to hear about everything from her, not from entire Race. Also meeting with the Pale Tree was a bit disappointing. We heard there are newly awakened Sylvari. But we did not get any news how they look, what are their calls after Mordremoth’s death, also what’s about Nightmare Court.. Anet is not about to give any answer when the god returned and it seems the story will be all about him.

It is not about HoT story but some kind of aftermaths of Mordremoth’s death and what his death has caused as I said before.

I also feel bad that the last Firstborn with such an influence is treated as trash by everybody.

After watching the trailer for One Path Ends and seeing some Sylvari I hoped it’d be a grand coming back to some Sylvari matters, but it turned out that we also treated them all as nothing, some talks about Orr and bye.

It seems Anet will never come back to Sylvari topic, never hear Fear not this Night anymore… After seeing how Caithe is treated and other Sylvari too I am afraid we won’t ever get any answers for the important questions. I guess we will meet 3rd generation Sylvari who will appear out of nowhere and maybe she/he will say something to us, but I doubt it.

But ok I really hope Fear not this Night will be played in PoF. This is my biggest hope for this expansion. Please writers, put some Sylvari topics into the story!! Please…

Let it be multi-race story, do not make the same mistake as for HoT.

PoF on Friday- a good idea?

Players are only playing the product, devs are preparing the product from zero.

Who deserves the restful weekend then?

But well it seems everything is prepared for Friday, but it looks like Anet values us more than the workers. What’s amazing but kinda sad in the way that this show how precious we are for them so they can even lost the time for rest to satisfy us.

So Balthazar wants to be.... (PoF spoiler)

First of all you don’t have to mark your posts as spoilers. The title says there are [PoF spoilers] including LS3 spoilers.

@Ashantara I am really upset Braham still does not want to lay down his bow and get normal.

Braham is so stupid, but his actions are only caused because of his own situation and the tough situation of his Race.

He is not to blame, he is just a toy of the horrible fate as everyone in Tyria is.

I think it is a repeating of the old mistake.

HoT premiere started on Friday and then Anet made themselves a really hard weekend.

I think weekends are meant to just chill out from work (If you actually can).

I’d be satisfied even if PoF would start on September 26 because then I’d know that Anet is ready and won’t be exhausted for their weekend.

Devs are also people, I think they deserve a restful weekend before the hit of PoF.

It is all prepared for this date but I am worried about the Devs.

Thanks for your attention and good luck with the Expansion!!
