So as we can see, Kessex Hills has been turned into a giant nightmare.
But what about centaurs? They have been fighting with human over Kessex Hills for a long time, but under this situation, will it make sense if they ally with human and fight the kraits? I believe human and centaurs should share the same interest at this point.
Kraits are evil creatures, but centaurs are not, they are just a war-like race. Even Charr allied human against the Zhaitan, so why not centaurs?
Merciful Grenth, the overwhelming lack of a feeling of dread is almost petrifying!

This is so sexist toward women. I can’t believe people are trying to say that female leads would no longer be good leads if there were an equal amount of male leads. It seems these people are defending the game for necessarily having dumb male leads just so the females stand out rather than female leads who can stand on their own interesting character design. All of the female leads seem to have the exact same personality. They are all flawless/heroic/sexually ambiguous. All of the male leads have stereotypical dumb male personalities. They are either dumb brutes who don’t think before they act (Rytlock) or they are whiny idiots (Logan, Braham, Faren, Trahearne). It is fine for that to be a part of their character, but there needs to be something more about them. They are not interesting. It is about quality, not quantity. I think it is disturbing that a game that you all are saying is a landmark in feminist game design has some of the blandest and 2d female characters. It completely diminishes the achievement. I think if the female characters were more interesting, most people wouldn’t feel threatened by the request for a few more male leads. That is what we should be upset about. If there was one good character (male or female) in the game, no one would be angry, I think.
TL;DR: It is sexist to think that for female leads to be strong, they necessarily need for there to be a lack of male leads. No one would have a problem if there was a single characters (male or female) who was interesting.

PLEASE dont complain about this. Every single thing ANET does people complain. They made an area, low level mind you that no one zergs on and theres no mapchat, into something different. Let the game evolve in peace. This is what we need.
This makes me sad. Kessex was such a pretty zone before and now it’s an ugly mess. First they ruined lower Sparkfly and now this, and they still haven’t given us a restored Orr. Make the game world prettier, not uglier.
Maybe put that Lion’s Arch girl back out there to collect money to replant the trees.
you spend complaining about it on the forums, you’d be
done by now.”
Without giving anything away, I will say that the Kessex Hills you’ll see in November (and December, and next year…) is not the same as the one we had last week.
This change has actually been needed since launch. As noted, we’ve already been using these difficulty mobs in content, though in a more limited way. That was due primarily to the fact that both species ended up being named “Veteran”, but one was solo-friendly, the other was not, and all it did was cause confusion. There will be more updates in the future to bring the rest of the species at this difficulty level in line with this change.
It makes total sense to me.
They allow events to correctly scale when there’s a lot of people around without spawning champions that would encourage zerging.
Gotta agree with OP, aside from the three he named and some minor norn characters (Not Brahms) there aren’t any necessary/memorable males in this game. (Tybalt was more of a lolxDsorandumApples than an actual character)
Lol! There aren’t any memorable characters from the Living Story AT ALL. It has nothing to do with male or female. The only one that comes to mind is Scarlet and that’s just because she’s so freakin’ ANNOYING.
Right now I’d give anything for a cool character, female OR male. These characters we have now are just forgettable :/ The best characters are Destiny’s Edge from the main game anyway.
Is it that hard to make females look like armored knights? Oh my god Anet why would you do that?
When it comes to armor they either mess up the male version or the female version.
/sigh
Berserker means that you use Berserker stat weapons/armor/trinkets.
I would love to have an overhaul to all “sentient races” NPCs to have them to in a downed state where they would help each others up, I really think this could put an interesting spin to dungeons in particular, where instead of going FULL berserker to dps down everything, you might want to have a few control skills to prevent them from helping each others up, they’d bleed out and try to use their #4 like players, of course.
Similarly, it would be nice to have certain npcs (just a few, in dungeons only for example) trying to stomp downed players, only their animations would be much slower, again, adding more reasons to bring a few control skills.
Now by “sentient” I mean enemies that you would not come as surprising to see them “fighting for their life”, all the humanoid-like enemies like bandits, inquest, sons of svanirs, nightmare court and flame legions would all be fit canditates for going into “fight for your life” state and helping each others up and trying to stomp, while animals, wildlife and minions (risens) would simply die as they do currently.
Of course, the key difference between a player being downed and an NPC being downed would be that enemy NPCs would be unable to res straight up dead ones, unlike players.
A way to not make this too present in open-world could be to not have this feature active on enemies below veteran level, too.

Problem is, they ARE squishy. It’s just, in my opinion, a colossal waste of time.
Then keep bursting them down. They do die if you keep hitting them, like in WvW too.
I like it, it kind of enforces that the enemies aren’t exactly squishy, also lets me show off my dolyak or wolf finisher, and it’s not like it’ll ever be a majority of enemies, just some types here and there. though I do see how this could become annoying fast.
If i wanted to do a summary why she’s such a cartoonish cliche villain and why it would be better to just forget about her, i couldn’t have done it better. Thank you OP.
Remember, remember, 15th of November
Please provide accurate numbers about actual WvW population and not just server population and base transfers on that. I believe that would already go a long way.

Looks like we’ll need to get a Searing Cauldron to do some proper cleansing..
It’s ok, at this point I’m used to disappointment. Sorry for setting my expectation bar too high.
…until I found out that it’s been confirmed that it’s Scarlet again. Like seriously..the Krait are supposed to be Xenophobic??? Why Anet…just WHY?!?
Please kill her already and move onto the older, interesting lore.
Sincerely,
The majority of the playerbase

I wonder what your basis for comparison is…”

Revisit locations… all I did was go to the queensdale nearest skill point thing and commune.
There’s literally nothing in the ToN trailer to get hyped about. No hints that’s it’s a dungeon, or that there will be ascended armor as a drop. It can be anything. It can be 15 seconds long story instance, like the recent one with Bloody Prince.
I’m not sure what Arenanet was thinking with this one.
It’s 1,000 candy corn to make one Candy Corn Cob. And it takes 15 Candy Corn Cobs to get a 20 slot Halloween Pail.
At those costs, it’s far easier to just farm 10 gold and buy a regular 20 slot box outright.
Yeah the amount of silly content that has made its way into this game is really sad. I fully expect to get to the top of the tower and meet scarlet in her clown costume doing something absurd though, so I’m not getting my hopes up.
OMG! This new heal skill I know NOTHING about beyond a catchy advertising blurb, and isn’t even in-game yet, is clearly O-kittenING-P!
This will be the DOWNFALL of GW2 foreverz!

Ooor….. we could all, ya know, settle down and wait a week? Lord.
I think the primary reason they made it PVP was to make all PVE speed boosts and such not work.
Yeah boosts are disabled as soon as you enter pvp. That’s the reason. They don’t want people using the speed boost.
