I would call it ’ how to train your dragon’ . It looks like one of them from that cartoon. Hope it will get a grow spurt soon and loose its kids cartoony look.
If the level of challenge is to high for you, why dont you coop with one or more players? It is an mmo after all, not a single player game. Is it a good challenge for a decent player the first time(s), yes. But its not at hard level. It would not be good if ls content would be at faceroll level.
I had the same sort of thing in Caladon Forest, on the right side of the map, at the level 4 heart location with all the undead at a swampy area with a big tree (near Sleive’s Inlet waypoint). The cliff next to it has a very bright green/yellow.
In the past this problem also showed itself (in bright white) at Shamans Rokery after certain patches.

I can confirm Staf is no longer viable in pve. It used to have a good balance of damage/cc. Now its quite useless. Hammer is also much weaker then it was. I only use sword now, the only thing which still deals decent damage and has decent cc. The viability of the revenant is now within a very narrow window. And why? because a vocal minority of pvp-ers with a certain class A which hates class B (the revenant) says so. Is that balance? Its about time that conflicting skills become seperated. It cant be that a minority of pvp-ers and wvw-ers dictates the builds that damage PVE-ers.
And to those who says its suppose to be support. What support? minor healing and a team condy cleanse which isnt used anymore now because the staf is below weak.
Gaming shouldnt be about work. It should be about fun. Grinding for loot is not fun and no accomplisment whatsoever. Playing content/gameplay with decent rewards is fun.
Its fine. Rewards where nerfed to the ground only to counter a little percentage of heavy grinding farmers. Now rewards have been brought back to better times to facilitate a majority of casual players who will come back and populate the game again. Whats the problem? It was the whole long term progression endgame debacle (alias grind and elitism) that drove many players away since Hot.
You do remember that the feedback of a vocal minority who participated in the CDI was responsible for some of the bad decisions we had with the Hot expac which have to be polished and reworked the coming year?
Black Desert, generic korean grinder nr how many, a threat? Within a year everyone forgot about it (just like Blade and Soul).
The only threat to guildwars is arenanet themselves in my opinion.
Not a fan of steampunk myself, already too much of that in LS season 1.
Bring on Elona and Crystal Desert, zombie and skeleton undeads, Palawa Joko, Dune worms etc. Not crawly (except the worms maybe) , but sure creepy :-p
Ooh i forgot there where many insects over there, so very crawly after all :-)
After playing Blade and Soul for 2 days, Gw 2 is shining more bright than ever for me. In my opinion miles ahead in every way. Anybody else got a headache from the terrible camerashake in B&S? Not to talk about the incredible immature toxic crowd in the chat? After many queue time, client crashes and server downtime i ran back fast as i can to gw. Have to appreciate the no downtime maintenance instant access of gw.
Is this based on real quarterly sales? No.
This is a prediction by a third rate analist firm who have never in all those years predicted something right.
The only effect this sort of posts have is atracting trolls, who go all doom and gloom, like they Always do.
Got some stats about the financial firm (not analist firm)to back up the hyperbole. The problem with posts like these is it attracts trolls from both sides. Btw it’s analyst ,attracting and affect LOL.
Oh look a spelling troll, who doesnt give one bit of constructive feedback. Whats the relevance of your post other then offending?

Not at all, gw 2 is miles ahead of this title. Furtheron theres no comparison. For a younger anime loving crowd it might be a fun game. Personally more into more realistic western style animation.
Howmuch annoying and immature as it is, i dont think its a reportable offence personally. Its more sort of an annoying certain age thing. My advise is to just block those people, like i Always do in that sort of situations.
The challenge is no problem for me at all. What is a problem is all the gating of everything. From character progression, content progression to loot (hello collections). Gw 2 was an effort for reward game, its now the traditional time investment mmo system. This may please the hardcore crowd (not the challenge kind, but the loot farm kind) with too much time on their hands, who love endless repetitiveness of everything for loot. But not the people who actually like unforced gameplay (like quality singleplayer games). This is why im slowly turning back towards singleplayer games and playing the vanilla game.
I must agree. There has been a shift from casual friendly content, gameplay and progression to the traditional gated grindy old school mmo systems. In my opinion this will scare of the casual players in time, who are the ones who bring in the money for the most. Look at how well other games fared with pleasing the ‘Hardcore’ crowd, remember Wildstar? Im all for optional hard content for the people who need a new challenge (just like gw 1 had). As long if it is accessible content. Not time investment heavy content, progression, loot etc (alias gating, grind). But effort friendly content (like quality single player games).
The real problem is more that everything in the expansion feels forced to me. It feels mork like work then playing a game. There has been a shift from the play when you want, what you want, how you want casual friendly mentality (just like good single player games) to the traditional mmo mentality with much gating, grind etc. Thats why im slowly going back to single player games. Never used steam in the past, love it now, ton of sales with good games.
I Agree, im a casual pve-er myself, with no desire to pvp (and even more totally not interested in the so called e-sports). The pvp messages at the right all the time and the ones on the loading screens ar getting really annoying. Its just like that new Southpark episodes with the Ads who keep getting back till they get to you. The only effect it has on me, is the opposite of getting my interest. It feels like telemarketeers and doorsellers :-)
white mantle would be nice. The pact i’ve already seen too much in the gw 2 franchise, too much nato/un global like. would be nice if the mantle got some other organisation or faction against them. Some Charr, Norn love would be nice (yes i love them :-) )
What i think is that pve and Wvw/pvp skills should be seperated. It can not be that hammer skill 2 for the revenent is nerfed for pve-ers because WvW ers who run in zerg Blobs persist in their hyve mentality. Might as well remove every ranged multiple target skill then.
In my opinion its very easy to see theres a very strong connection with nerfing materials, gold rewards,massive goldsinks, massive new loot timegating in the core game and the expansion in relation to the cash gems for gold conversion. It doesnt feel right with me, thats why i am back to playing only single player games for now, which im quite enjoying :-)
And still there are people trying to defend this in this thread. The economic changes of the last month or so together with this are certainly a step from the good old play to earn to pay to earn. And no this is not a ftp game, many people just bought an expansion and the core game in the past. The massive gold and material sinks everywhere are also a good example in connection with this.
My question? Why does everything great the revenant has (and dragonhunter, mesmer) to be nerfed in the ground to facilitate a minority of wvw and pvp players? I think its about time that theres a split between pve and pvp skills (just like gw 1 had). Getting tired of all that op nerf everything in the ground, based on only pvp (and wvw) players. I can remember the hammer to be very underpowered in the first beta, and wouldnt want to go back to that situation.
I’m really getting annoyed of the cashshop tactics of late. So soon after a buy to play expansion and most of the Hot rewards are in the cashshop or locked behind a massive grind wall. I’m at the point of not playing anymore for now (no you cant have my stuff :-p). Used to invest in services and convenience items now and then (storage upgrades, salvage kits etc) buying gems. Even those never seem to go on sale anymore.
Regretably they did exactly the same as with Scarlet. Fan service for the vocal part of the community, certainly not the whole community. It certainly is something of the last years, not only games, but everywhere. Facilitating to the wining internet vocal community.
So you want it to be a prestige reward for ultimate grinders? What has that to do with how qualified they are as mentors helping and advising people? You will Always will have trolls, but as time go ons, it will get lesser, and the people actually serious about mentoring will use it, thats my optimistic view on it.
What the real issue is in my opinion, that with the 2 large guildhalls only big guilds are facilitated. The smaller, more personal guilds of family, friends and game friends are not. And there are many little guilds (much more then large). It was better if there where 1 or 2 guildhalls for the smaller guilds. Hope this will be realised in the future. The bigger guilds mostly consist of a more younger game audience (under 18), which i have no intention of joining (you can already see why in some of the disrispectfull reactions on this post to the op) .
And that wasnt the case with lets say elementalists for a very long time everywhere in the game? Let everyone be happy with their new shiny profession. Within a week it will become better :-)
Are you joking? Obtaining a guild hall for your one mans banking guild? A guildhall is supposed to be a place for a guild (of players), this is not housing or something. So tired of the new generation of gamers who want everything spoonfed and soloable in an MMO. If you want to only solo a game, theres many great single player games. And no you are not entitled in any way. Whats next? wanting to do raids Soloable?
