Who are these people and why should I care?

Doesn’t help that most of them are near useless in the boss fights.

I completely agree. We had this problem with Kormir in GW1, who would literally stand and watch your team die rather than lift a finger to help. Well, she didn’t do too much watching after being horrifically blinded, but I couldn’t even muster any sympathy for her.

And now, in GW2, I just know that the most I can expect from these characters is a fleeting little reflection bubble once every 60 seconds. Or a slowly auto-attacking Mesmer.

I imagine the developers are afraid of robbing us of our agency as players, of taking the spotlight off of us. But they already have by forcing us to work with characters that are thoroughly impotent in every combat encounter.

I’m still quaking with rage over the Victory or Death mission, where the various members of Destiny’s Edge were too busy holding hands belowdecks to help my pathetically undergeared Guardian manning the weaponry above.

I’d like more skimpy medium armor. There are so few choices for skimpy medium it’s not even funny.

I completely and utterly agree with you. It’s just a massive pile of triangular trenchcoats. I’d like something less conservative for my male thief.

Lion's Shadow Inn bugged

This is still a frequently occurring bug. I understand that this is an old topic and that most people don’t care about the Lion’s Arch Exterminator achievement, but I would like to get a relatively painless mastery point for Central Tyria. This bugged door is preventing me from doing so.

It only opens at night time in-game. Are you sure you’ve tried opening it when it’s night?

Yes. The moon was up and the stars were out. I mapped in and out numerous times to enter different instances, and the door was always inaccessible.

Thankfully, I found a working map the next (real world) day. So it’s not gamebreaking or anything, but this bug still exists.

Crashing in Dragons Stand

This is still an issue. And I burned through some Teleport To Friends trying to get back into the map when joining a squadmember in Dragon’s Stand didn’t work.

Fix this, please.

Necro definitely need a support spec. Maybe Staff but with others skills.

I don’t have much to add about Necromancers, but I do like your idea to apply different skills to a weapon that a certain class already has access to. It’s a complicated suggestion in terms of economic implications. All the same, there aren’t too many other weapons I’d really want to see on a Mesmer or a Thief.

Different options for existing weaponry is one avenue I’d be willing to see Anet explore.

For Mesmer, I was thinking something closer to like a harlequin with daggers and more of a blade dancer kind of feel but bard with focus or Warhorn is ???

I agree with you simply because I’m not wild about warhorn aesthetics. Mesmers have enough offhand options as it is. We need another 1h mainhand weapon.

Verticality. Our minimaps weren’t built for it, even with the addition of the “above” and “below” arrows.

It makes traveling through the new zones quite a chore. Yes, it’s fun to glide down from certain spots. But those moments of blissful flight don’t outweigh the frustrations that otherwise dominate the new zones.

training gliding mastery in central tyria?

Will we be able to train our Gliding Mastery in Central Tyria maps once the update drops, or will it still remain firmly ensconced in the Heart of Maguuma?

Only 4 new armor sets (per armor type)

Ah, this is the one I saw! Looks like two variants but shown with several random colours.

This Armor may be the medium pre/legendary armor, one looks like an upgrade form the other

and this maybe the light pre/legendary?

Ugh. More butt pyramids. Why is it that the robe-style armors look way less convincing now than they did on the Dervish in GW1? If you like it, cool. Everyone’s got their own style. I just hope that we get some more options.

my hope is for a lot of new armor skins and no more trench coats for medium or robes for light armor >.>

This. Exactly.

I’m tired of my burly thief looking like he’s standing inside a pyramid. A few trenchcoat styles are fine, because some people like them. But there are way too many.

And why does heavy armor get all the skimpy (male) love? Sure, light gets a little. But medium is way too modest, in my opinion. Oh, at least on males. I mean, look at “sneakthief” for some ridiculous disparities. “Assassin” armor is another culprit.

Heavy and light armors are very diverse when compared with the angular trenchcoats of medium male armor. Change it up, please.
