Polls are nice to get opinions of those who go on the forums but a good amount of player feedback is still missing due to these players not using the forums or just here to see what is being posted instead of interacting with what is posted. If we can get the feedback of the players focus on playing the game more then we can get a better view on the opinions as a majority. Sometimes the feedback on the forums is not accurate to the feedback of the majority since the opinion on the forums may not be in line with the majority that play the game, just the small amount of people who only put effort voicing their opinion on the forums.

even as a Sylvari character, it is still a issue of him/her not knowing what to do with their life now after they have finally completed their Wyld Hunt. Though slightly different from the other origins, the issue remains the same for a Sylvari Commander. Being unable to adjust to a life that is no longer involved in constantly fighting Elder Dragons and saving the world. Heck, Caithe is dealing with the whole thing better than the Commander since she chosen to continue supporting the Crystal Bloom to find a new purpose and keep the organization going until Aurene awakens once again. It honestly feels strange how Anet been avoiding this and how Peitha been basically feeding this desire in the Commander.

I think the issue with the story currently is how they are not covering the issue that the Commander has right now they present in the begin of SoO being that the Commander is mostly lost on what to do with his/her life since he/she spent years doing one thing and that is fighting Elder Dragons to save the World. Now he/she has a hard time returning to their original life before they began their journey in the Zhaitan Arc. Literally that Veteran from War that returns and having a hard time adjusting back to civilian life. The Commander currently is the only one having issues moving on with a normal life where he/she is no longer on a journey trying to save the world while everyone else have moved on and found something to do with their lives. Some found a job which most of Dragon's Watch have done while some are just recovering from the aftermath like Braham with his PTSD issues. The whole SoO event was basically a happy accident for the Commander as he/she is now doing Hero work again which I do not think is healthy for the Commander because he/she been all too happy to get involved with this Save the World event since that all he/she is use to now.

Personally I hope Staff ends up like the Staff combat in Technomancer for Engineer. A combination of both Lightning melee and range attacks

I know the shortbow did not leave a good impression but pass that, what do you hope to see anyways since they are mostly just focus on weapon release now. I personally prefer Dagger, Focus, or Staff.

If I remember right, the Open world map difficulty was tone down after Heart of Thorns for expansions after since the maps was a nightmare for players to move through both due to maze like design and the toughness of enemies either by their high DPS or HP. Remember this was the time before Mounts and we had to use map exploration abilities to get around.

You're using the Demons that feed on Human souls and flesh example with the Pig rather than what I mentioned about how they use to not need to kill humans to gain their food since they only needed to feed on their dreams and emotions which required them to be alive and did not need them to make any direct contact with the humans. As I said they are still demons by nature but a varient that once never needed to harm their food source nor interact with it since they can harvest and feast on their food being Dreams and Emotions by staying in their area of the mist until Eparch arrived and forcefully changed their nature to a direction where they have to directly harm their food source now. Also, the feeling I get with Peitha and the commander feels more like a person who finds a animal cute rather than a friend. She has not really given me a feeling she wants to be friends, only see the help as something useful in the long run of her own goals since she has use for this little animal.

I think people forget this part too easily about Kryptis culture. Originally before Eparch took over, the Kryptis was a race of demons that feasted only on emotions and dreams so there was no need for them to directly interact with people of Tyria. Just making mental contact and experiencing a mental link through the mist was enough to provide them their "food" being emotions and dreams. They are still demons by their species but a different variant that had little to no needs to cause direct harm to humans compared to the ones we meet in the past that feasted on human souls and/or flesh of the living since those are a variant of demons that have the need for eating souls and living flesh as food. Eparch changed that to what it is now where Kryptis started eating each other and living beings from beyond the Mist. Peitha's goal is to get the Kryptis back on their original nature as Demons being the type of Demons that only needed to feast on emotions and dreams while also still being a demon by nature since she is also doing this for personal gain while manipulating the situation so people cannot back down from her deal.

I have no issue with kits as a mechanic but I feel they need to be updated due to the changes we experienced over the years as a result of introducing Elite Specs. Not to mention they could have introduced new kits to add more into build options such as a Railgun kit, Potion Kit, and etc. Plenty of opportunity I feel the developers never took the chance to explore due to not really knowing what they wanted Engineer to be beyond the original plan to be a Jack of All trades but Master of None design which they moved away from after HoT was introduced due to Elite Specs. Holosmith is a nice example of a Kit designed to be customizable based on the trait tree. Something I think they could have expanded on in different ways with potential Elite Specs focus on designing a kit that works for the player. Not to mention a Elite Spec that could have been based on deconstructing Kits so they can using the Kits to upgrade the Main Weapon which could have changed the skills of the Main Weapon based on which Kit the player used. It will have certainly been a lot of work providing a new Main Weapon skill per weapon for each Kit but something I feel was a missed chance to utilize. It also seem like something a Engineer profession person will do as well.

I do enjoy when Developers know when to mock themselves for the sake of it.

only benefit I see for Legendary Relics is that we will save a lot of inventory space since each Relic takes up a single slot if a player focus more on one character as a Main character for most of their content experience. I think we will need some kind of Relic storage section later down the line if players are trying to manage relic use between multiple characters since as more Relics are added, the demand for more space to store them will increase.

I think it will make a nice Main City hub if they ever make a new Expansion or Living world expansion focused on exploring the Realm of the Gods after they left while dealing with whatever new antagonist has started to invade those areas so this unknown threat does not invae Tyria.

I honestly still feel since the base game release of GW2 that the Weapon Swap could have been simply the Kit button for Engineer. The Kits are literally meant to be Engineer's alt weapons to their main weapon to begin with which is why Kits acts as our "weapon swap" I know it will limit Engineer to 1 kit if they do but most of the time players are only using 1 kit unless they made a build where they literally play the Engineer like a Piano with multiple kits to switch around in.

I am certainly not feeling this weapon. It kind of miss the mark this time around.

Yes yes. No more Elite Specs and only new Weapons with Mini-Elite Spec mechanics for their weapon skills from now on as the Anet team said right?
