All the changes would've been fine if it wasn't for the Jade Sphere cooldown increase. it's just ridiculous, the entire spec revolves around it and you nerf it to beta1 stage, where everyone hated catalyst and how bad and clunky it worked. Arenanet, stop basing your balance on benchmarks of idle golems where players are 100% booned up. It's not realistic, it does not represent class damage (and more importantly, class utility), in any real encounter. These changes alltogether have damaged support catalyst builds far more than the dps ones. applying boons is extremely unreliable now, the elemental empowerment changes doesn't only lower dps, it lowers all the other stats as well. I can no longer play tank support catalyst bc i can't apply boons for 15s, i cant do combo finishers to apply auras without swapping to a new weapon, i can no longer be as tanky with the trait changes. I can no longer play diviner's catalyst bc i can't apply boons for 15s. I can no longer play heal catalyst bc i have no secondary utility other than healing, because I can't apply boons for 15s, so every other healer is infinitely better Revert the jade sphere back to 5s cooldown PLEASE

I only have ONE negative thought. And that is that Kaeining city is severely lacking in interesting content compared to the other 3 maps, which are brimming with it. During the night you have the blackout meta which is great, but during the day, there is literally nothing in terms of events that is worth noting and its really sad, because It's the prettiest map they have ever made. Since kaeining introduces the raptor and springer I don't understand why they didn't at least add racing events, you could even have a skiff racing event, and reward all players who join the winning boats. Hell, I bet you could even do a jade bot drone racing event, or how about a mass rock paper scissors game? Kaeining seems like the perfect city to add fun casual events during daytime. And you could add Adventure version of these events too! Kinda disappointed that EoD doesn't have any adventures, I really enjoy getting gold on those. And for pete's sake, add a Bank an trading post near "Ministry Headquarters" Point of Interest, there's a vault and npcs behind stands, clearly setup to serve that purpose but for some reason they decided not to add them. So yeah my only complaint is that Kaeining city is the only of the 4 maps utterly devoid of content, and an extremely missed opportunity, considering that its such an amazing map, and being a city allows for more creative event ideas. Alas, I doubt it will ever be touched again ;( As for Positives: Seiting Province: The perfect starter map for an xpac, nice calm areas for fishing, excellent introduction for new players, awesome small scale events, a cool puzzle area, and a pretty good meta event. Echovald: Amazing terrain, gives some TD vibes, tons of secrets and puzzles, awesome meta, the Aspenwood event for some reason not a meta event, and yet so amazingly big in quality. the explorer's dream. Dragon's End: FINALLY a hard meta event, which is extremely fun, mechanical and satisfying! Strikes are amazing and an insane increase in quality, if anyone had doubts about strikes, I think these cleared their mind. CMs coming is really hype Beautiful legendaries one of the best story modes yet, on par with Season4 stuff and most times even better fishing, skiffs, jade bots, siege turtle are all incredibly fun and flavorful additions that will stand the test of time without a doubt. the elite specs are amazingly fun, and have been tweaked really well! arbortstone has a FREAKING. CASINO. VIP. CLUB. WITH. FREAKING. JAZZ. MUSIC. AND. MOA. RACING. incredibly nicely done new armor & weapon skins. I probably forgot half the list of awesome stuff, this is without a doubt their best expansion yet, combining the HoT and PoF design perfectly.

exactly, I understand not wanting to put everything on kaeining. Definitely don't mind there not being crafting stations, but at the very least a bank and TP wouldn't really be that big of a deal. Also, I just checked the area I mentioned (Ministry's Headquarters) and not a single event or enemy mob spawns there. With the layout of the area too, it looks like it was 100% intended to have bank and TP services.

I know this is a minor thing, but I feel like this map could really use essential services to give it some use, aside from the nighttime meta, during daytime there isn't much to do other than very minor events. Since its a city I can understand there not being huge events but, at the very least we could then have other things such as a bank and trading post. In fact, in the Minsistry Headquarters Point of Interest there is a huge golden vault with npcs behind stands on one side, and on the other side some other npcs. This looks like it was originally intended to be a bank and TP, but never made it in. It would be great to add these, that way it could become a staple hangout spot for a lot of players. as i said, during the day the map has not much going on, and this area in particular is devoid of enemies it seems, so it would be a perfect fit.

Worked for me too! Thnx!

I'm crashing with the black lion trading company as well since the latest patch, Haven't claimed my claim ticket. It happens not only with the gemstore, but with the other tabs as well :(

lmao no. Sorry to tell you this but you need to: - Learn how to play the game - Learn how to read the squad chat this event is ridiculously easy, but the fact of the matter is that the average player is ridiculously bad. Either wait for the public instance, or gtfo of the squad version.

Every time i see tequatl lose 25% of health with still 10s of stun remaining I die a little inside, the entire combat in between is completely skipped.

peepeepoopoo aside, I'd wish we could just use the profession skill buttons for extra notes.

hey. Peepeepoopoo

It should be. It sells a lot and it's core to the MMO genre Accomplishment is a very typical goal in any game, but in MMOs particularly it's essential. MMOs are meant to be the type of game a player would immerse themselves in and invest an absurd amount of time in, not having high end accomplishments would just mean that people would play it and move on.

The ending was atrocious, if anything, they should've just let primordus sleep and conclude jormag somehow. It's really sad because with season 4 they set a really high expectation of what elder dragon encounters could be, and everything up until champions was actually really good. It's really just this final chapter that flops so hard, and what's worse is that it undoes everything the story has been leading up to by killing not one but TWO elder dragons in a matter of minutes, without even a proper introduction to primordus. If they weren't being lashed by NCsoft I wonder if we would have had some proper final maps, and a good conclusion to the story.

prestige is part of fashion, it might not be a fashion of matching skins, but it's fashion nonetheless. IRL people wear overly expensive clothes despite there being cheap brands that look the same, and they do it for prestige. Prestige IS a fashion statement I should also say, you spending 200 bucks on legendaries is completely irrelevant to whether anet should make new legendaries. I barely ever make legendaries, and I'm really pumped that they're making new ones bc elite players will have something to strive for.

No way they're not bringing out tengu as a race, they've pretty much played themselves into it by now.player housing would be an amazing extra, but I don't think it will happen

I'd love for it to be largos, but its obviously going to be tengu
