  1. I do not like PvP, WvW, Raids or Strike Missions. No thanks to being a lemming and/or getting yelled at when I am standing in the wrong circle. Yet they are in the game nonetheless. To each their own, and I think there would be a good chunk of players that would enjoy housing, and willing to sink many hours, mats and also Gems into it. If GW2 will keep alive (and I think it will) then I am sure we will see housing some day. But I admit that it is an elaborate feature that would take a serious investment to do right. So some day, fingers crossed. The Henchmen are probably a pipe dream, and would require a huge investment from Anets part with little return for them. So I am guessing no on that one. Was a typical GW1 thing that is much less needed in GW2, with their huge and pretty easy open world content. Still, they could have done a much better job with the NPC's that are supposed to help you out at Dragon response missions. They touted that as a feature where "faction NPC's would stand by your side", but they suck so hard it's not funny anymore. I lose them in the first minute and can not be bothered to rez them afterwards.
  2. Not buying. I left when EoD was released because I was disappointed that no new game systems were introduced, like player housing or Henchmen. New expansion is just more of the same, and some reworking of existing features, again no new game systems so I guess I will have to wait a little longer. Still not sure why they will not introduce player housing, seems like the ultimate fit for the way Anet monetizes a MMO. As for Henchmen, seeing how they keep pushing Strike Missions, I guess we will never see such a solo-oriented feature.
  3. Griffon and Skyscale Quest are the best, Already completed them on 7 accounts. I love playing in the open world and these quests give you a great reason to revisit zones, do some jumping puzzles, team up for some Bosses, gather stuff. I hope they will never change them. There is a lot of stuff I can not do either in this game and that's fine. At least the OP did not ask to nerf the quest or something. πŸ™‚
  4. She will probably magically fuse with the last Dragon when she dies and thus live on forever, in a way. I would be surprised if they would not cushion the blow of her death in some way. Or give it some sort of extra meaning. They couldn't let Aurene die, they are not going to just let Taimi go with a puff of smoke. I do not see them do a repeat of the Eir Stegalkin funeral wake, even though that was pretty cool (and brave from Anet).
  5. For me EoD initiated another long period of not playing GW2. My third since the game got released. I was so underwhelmed by the features they pre-showed us, that my hype level was down to zero. Then Lost Ark released at the same time, and I was pleasantly surprised by that game (not better then GW2, just very different) so I have been playing that fanatically up until 3 weeks ago. And now, after reading peoples opinions and threads about EoD my expectations have gone below zero, and I actually dread starting up the game again, having to slog through uninteresting Mastery lines, unlock zones that seem to be devoid of NPC hustle and bustle and Adventures, and having to do that terribly uninspired Fishing mini-game. What I have seen of the first zone certainly did not wow me either when it comes to Beauty. I might try to start again with the LW1 story but I prefer to do that once all the episodes are there. So I guess I am on a MMO hiatus for now, which is ok. πŸ™‚ Oh, and I am eagerly awaiting the announcement of the next Xpac features (a year or so from now is my guess) of which I am convinced, HOUSING, will be a part of!!! When that happens, my love for GW2 will be rekindled, and I will be willing to slog through the MMO-pablum that is EoD.
  6. Ok, make that "I think people are being too harsh on the OP's opinion". πŸ™‚
  7. I think people are being too harsh on the OP. The arguments that Anet gives are somewhat valid in themselves but I do not think they are being quit honest about the most important reasons behind the TP: the very consistent money sink and 10x less Customer Service requests from players that feel they have been treated unfairly during the trade. Like "I thought I had a good deal but then I found out I did not because apparently this item sells for 10 copper average instead of 5 gold". Even so I think that player to player trade could help a bit with the social aspect of the game, which is somewhat lacking anyway (as with most MMO's). Bartering, talking to a person, actually knowing the name from whom you bought something. I liked the dedicated trade channel in Everquest. The TP in GW2 is a cold-hearted trade-partner.
  8. Hey, you are ruining my Celestial money-making scheme! Good thing 90% of players do not read the forums. πŸ™‚
  9. Everquest forever! Started my MMO career the day that Everquest released('99), having decided to pass on Ultima Online because of the reviews I had read about its toxic PvP environment. I only truly abandoned Everquest about 6 years ago. I pretty much tried about every MMO that released since EQ but never played anything more then a few days/weeks/months.
  10. I think the Home Portal Stone promo is overdue, last time it was offered was January 1st 2021, which is now 16 months ago. Before that the interval was 9 months, 3 months, 9 months, 12 months, 11 months. I would like to see it return with a 40% discount (as it was the last 5 times). πŸ™‚
  11. Well said, couldn't agree more. I am pretty happy the way Anet does this. I agree with a previous poster that I would like to see adventures and griffon rides added to old maps, but I am of the "I like to revisit old Maps"kind. πŸ™‚
  12. In my day we had to do it WITHOUT the "Return to" achievement which now literally throws all the needed zone currency right in your hands. Kids these days.
