^^this for me. With the recent skimmer update, I've been enjoying exploring underwater, especially Caledon as that's one of my favorite maps. In addition to that, I love the music and environment. I go back when I'm feeling nostalgic of when I first explored there as a new player, and do some jumping puzzles, and general roaming to admire the environment. It's not often I turn my graphics settings up to view the environment, but when I do it's worth it.

I totally agree on this point. If you can pass the last step with just swim infusions (which require no mount), then what was the point of this feature? Although I am thankful for them adding it to skimmer and got it only a few hours after release, I am underwhelmed that the swim infusions match mounted speed. It needs a beetle turbo underwater or something to separate it from regular swim infusions. One thing I appreciate about it is the sounds of diving into water and rising above water. It's as if you really are swimming and it matches the same sound exactly. Really great job simulating the sound. I also like the camera splash drops. Well done. Please don't just assume that everyone bothered to get those swim infusions. I didn't, and i'm sure i'm not the only one. ;)Agreed! I don't have a single swimming infusion on any of my toons so the skimmer underwater is a massive speed boost for me. I actually quite love this new feature as it lets me traverse underwater speedily and avoid combat for the most part in favor of admiring the environment. I can now take a proper look at what's underwater without getting horribly bored and frankly fearful of getting into combat. Has definitely made my underwater experience more enjoyable and satisfying for my curiosity. :)

I play my game at the lowest settings possible (using lowest models as well which isn't fun as I like seeing what people's characters look like :( ) But if I could get tun off other people's backpacks it would be fantastic. While they're all certainly pretty, they get in the way of jumping puzzles as well and seeing a map full of people with legendary trinkets massive/shiny backpacks does drop my fps. I begrudgingly have lowest model settings on for sake of fps, so still seeing the shiny gear is kinda odd. :/

Reminds me a bit of that ls3 episode where we infiltrate Caudecus' estate from Lake Doric. As a thief main, it was very nice that I could just pick the lock on the door and sneak in instead of kicking it down. I heard there were other options throughout that instance for different jobs. Definitely hope these little differences appear more in upcoming content. Theres just something a bit satisfying about being true to my toon's job.

Hello! Could we possibly get the other mount skin select and adoption licenses back in the gem store? I really want the Savannah Stripetail from the Exotic Breeds Licenses so especially asking for Exotic Breeds Licenses to be brought back! As a side note, just generally confused why the mount licenses aren't available all at the same time. But nonetheless, asking for Exotic Breeds Mount Licenses (select and adoption) to be brought back!

I have not looked at pricing, but the scribe backpacks are in the trading post and sometimes they drop with a black lion key. Thanks for the comment. However, after checking the TP, I can't find the Practical Scribe Backpack anywhere... Guess I'll have to slowly level up a scribe for now :/

The preview would be a big helpful thing for me. While granted I'm still broke and won't be buying infusions anytime soon, if I could preview the infusions on my characters, I'd know which ones I can gradually work up gold for/aim for in some way. And yes, I know the wiki exists and it's the most helpful site every, however I'd like to preview the infusion on my actual toon to see if it works for the aesthetic/character. Some infusions can look great on wiki and probably horrible on my toon and vice versa and the only way to know this is if I can preview the infusion on my toon in the first place.

I just wish the Commander of Your Heart was a readable book too. Well, maybe. Or... I'm not sure anymore... :D Collecting it actually makes an excerpt readable on the bookshelf :) When I did this with 2 other friends we found out.First of all: Koss' little dialogue was fantastic and honestly I respect the man more for owning multiple copies on top of actually fully reading it. His book was definitely the most questionable one for me.Second of all: the little excerpt we got for "Commander of Your Heart" was fantastic and seeing that we read what I assume is a confession scene in chapter 35(?), I really would love to read the entire book. I actually quite liked it despite its ridiculousness XD But in all honesty, I'm glad Snargle is actually in the game now. After "interviewing" him, I see him in quite a different light. He was pretty well done and honestly rather sweet and while his books, which are hilarious, can be questionable, his reasoning is pretty solid. Also, where's the little excerpt of "Destiny's Pledge" I was expecting? Was looking forward to that one the most but sadly we can't read it's full glory and hilarity. Would've loved to use it to poke fun at Rytlock and Logan.

About the portal, I quite like the waypoint but honestly as I struggle with gold and seeing any amount of money disappear isn't fun, I'd like a scroll. With Sun's Refuge we were able to buy or unlock a portal scroll which went into the Season 4 Portal Tome. A scroll would definitely let me use the location more which I really want to do.... Is there a scroll existing already that I'm just not aware of or does Eye of the North not have a scroll yet?

Personally, I like names that sound like they fit the Tyrian name lore even if they're not actual names :P As a Sylvari player, I've got many Sylvari who have names that aren't actual names/words but they appear close enough so I'm passing them off as okay. I quite like them though! And silly names are pretty neat so long as they're appropriate. There have been many that give me a bit of a laugh and I love that. As examples of some of my Sylvari though, here's a few names: Caertryn (Male Sylvari Revenant) - Probably the only name I have with even a remotely celtic origin word in it. Took the 'Caer' part from 'Caer Aval' in the game because I quite liked how it sounds.Ayrtwyn (Male Sylvari Guardian) - Also made up, but it seems like it passes? I find these two names to be rather pretty.Mavyl (Female Sylvari Elementalist) - The only name I didn't have to shove extra letters into/scramble the letters because I was pleasantly surprised to find this name wasn't taken. Just liked the sound of it. Was originally gonna go with 'Maryl' but my handwritinng made the r look like a v and I ended up liking that more.Klliyn (Male Sylvari Ranger) - Literally just typed in a bunch of letters until it worked/I thought it seemed ok. Bit of a funky name, esp when his Sylvan hound is named Fynin but meh. What works, works.A few other names I have that I won't go into are Elrylle, iltria, and Rublu. (wrote Iltria with a lower case i there even though it's supposed to be capital bc the capital i and lower case l look identical. :/ It's il, not ll) My main, male Sylvari thief, is Satiru which I quite love but it isn't as fitting/Sylvari naming lore appropriate due to me creating this toon as my first introduction to GW2. Nonetheless, I quite like it, but pronouncing it in English sadly makes it less elegant and more harsh-sounding that I thought it would. Still my fav name though

Agreeing with this. Either change the length of time the breakbar is available or don't make the timers randomize. I've been aiming for this achieve many times and usualy with properly organized commanders/groups but with either the lack of people or the changing breakbar appearance times, I've never seen it succeed in my year of playing. When we had real good comms and groups, we couldn't get the achieve because the breakbar timing changing. I feel like if the breakbar timing stayed on specific times (instead of changing), this achieve is way more possible to complete. All I'm doing now is praying we either get another major boss rush event (for the possibility of more people) or for the breakbar timings to change to be consistent. The Shatterer's backpiece is one of the few that I actually want and will use cosmetically too :(

I'd love to have these skins! I wanted to have a nice backpack for my Engi that fits him but the universal multitool pack doesnt quite look well on him. The closest I could get is one of the scribe backpacks (lv125 I think) but that's pretty hard to get to for me. So having all of these skins available in some way so I can pick and choose would be fantastic!

I tried this about a week ago and no luck. Spent a good minimum of 30 mins for 3 days praying that going back and forth would work and no luck. Ended up having to get a friend to craft it.

Has it really been fixed? Anyone on Mac client able to craft it? Been trying for three days now with no luck. Is there a specific order of inputting the mats that I'm missing?

Finally got together all the lodestones only for the LA mystic forge to require 250 of each (which is ridiculous bc I only need 4 total and can't afford all the lodestones). Tried the character loading screen log in/out several times as a previous commentor mentioned, and still can't get the recipe requiring just 10 of each. Really bummed out as the illuminated weapons are perfect for one of my toons :/ Any way this can be fixed?
