Give an option to skip dialog of EoD.. Lets say you want each professions Elite achievement (weapon), you need to finish the game on each of them. There are 9 professions. Now lets only take the first chapter, we have 1 minute dialog Aurene, 1 minute Taimi, then another minute Gorrik. We move on, 3 minutes jail, 1 minute talk, again another minute talk (2 NPC's). Then we move to Empress, thats a whopping 4 minutes talk, then a skippable cutscene. We go into recordings, thats 6 unskippable recordings, each 1 minute. So by now, we have 1+1+3+1+4+6 = 16 minutes of unskippable stuff, times 9, makes just over 2 HOURS of unskippable stuff on your characters on the first bit chapter. I have huge respect for the voice acting, great story telling/dialogs, but like a very good movie.. watching it maybe twice or 3 times.. is kinda the limit to where respect can go.

Sidenote, is it me or apart of the turtle.. the rewards for this boss are ... kinda bad? I had like 4 green unid's gear, bits of random, but not like i say... ooooh i totaly gonna do this again for the loot!

I got my turtle, my job is done. And though even i still try to get in a group to wack the stupid dragon again, 99% of the time i end up 'map is full' problems. Yes, i managed to take him down, yes it was a organised group, yes people mostly know what they were doing.. no, i still think its a shitshow of mechanics.

Harbringer is my new Reaper. I have no idea what i do on gear, but once i pop Shroud i get 100% crit while juggling tacticly in and out to keep a sustained bit of healing going. The pistol i feel is a bit more 'fast pace' ranged, unlike staff or axe. I done several meta's, few strikes, thats my ceiling on what i mostly do in the game (i dont do raids or such), and i love him to bits. I dont bring much on the table on buffs or such, but i can put out a very constant stream of damage, often have a 2nd chance before going down, can even revive a down person on the spot. Compared to my other characters, i feel far stronger, far more durable (ok my warrior and rev can hold their own pretty well too), so yeah.. i genuinely still love my necro. I started EoD with engineer, finished the story, did some warrior (i love the 80k hits), gave up ranger pretty much instant, and ever since its full on necro 😄

I honestly have no idea where to begin.. Hammer i guess is a personal preference if you like it or not, being a ranged ranger (eh..) by default i always felt 'left out' for some proper nice new set, like pistol or rifle. But thats me.. Then the fact the whole unleashed is exclusive for hammer, i serious cant remember any other profession that has exclusive abilities tied to a single weapon, where if you use any other weapon.. half the profession is basicly gone. Now the pet.. Whoever thought it would be cool looking to add some green/black/goo on your pet, serious what is wrong with you? Make it glow, make it with flames, or sparkles, or whatever.. but the majority of pets look outright ugly. But thats looks, now serious.. can someone tell me why ANY given pet, ANY given skill they posses (be it ranged, melee, aoe), any style they fight, suddely become a generic 3-ability machine? Not even that, all their skills are 'IF THEY ARE DISABLED', did it maybe occur at any point that half the veteran/elite/champion mobs in this game we fight at higher content have defiance bars? And if i even want to proper use all the skills, i serious need more buttons on my mouse.. why give your pet nearly more abilities then your hero itself? Maybe i dont get the whole 'untamed/unleashed' theme/style of play, but it feels like ranger is the playground of goofieness, Druid, Untamed, maybe its just that the other professions got more 'cool stuff' that i now find my initialy main profession, the most dull of em all. Maybe its my twisted brain, but i couldve thought up so much more fun sets to make. A sniper style with a fetch&kill pet, a support/heal with instead of some weird totem, using their actual pet, hell even a mini-ridable-mount pet conversion gunblazing with pistols across the battlefield or even a 'going bezerk' pet with massive drawbacks the longer he stays bezerk (kinda scourge new style). In that content.. Engineer may have become my more favorite 'ranger'.

Everyone can do whatever they want, totaly agree on that, but if you choose to participate in a public event, cooperating a grandscale fight, where you help others and others help you, and just bail out because YOU dont want to.. why join in the first place? Thats outright selfish. Giving me flashbacks to NG Naxx in that other game, certain people only needed a certain boss, didnt get the drop, leave the raid. 9 or 23 others took their time to help you, and when your goal is or isnt met, screw them, selfish time? I have no active memory of any dragon (or meta) event (fractals, raids, etc are either private or small random groups, not a public encounter) where people just leave and let the rest cope with a failure, where as most mechanics still alow you to beat the big boy at 5% with just a minute left, they have hardly any phases where they either to invincible for a long period of time or in most cases mass wiping by 1 attack. They will nerf it at some point, in weeks or months it will be 'yet another meta to do', those for the turtle can happy farm their way without doing it at all, where the majority just leave cantha as it is.. a poorly DLC with no real new addition to keep hanging around.

No, you only create a even worse situation, where people missing the Gold mark just simply leave because ragequit, the next batch leaves at silver, leaving a few around that cant even get down bronze anymore. I serious wonder what the chat is like in those 'premade 100LI+KP' groups that go for only the 'elite raiders' when they actualy fail. Who can you blame then? No noobs, no dps lack, no people dont know kitten about mechanics, no afk'ers.. I went back to Drizzlewood, its 1 of the few places where the siege turtle actualy is a great asset to the events, and where i initialy hated it like no tomorow.. its been fun, alot of fun. Yes people go down, yes you can trashed so many times, yes some events fail, but at the end.. you have a fun time, good fights and great cooperation between all those around. That is a certain goal outside 'core mechanics' unlocks, thats totaly fine to do all professions on story, nothing different then unlocking all elites, doing certain bosses with certain professions (to get the asc one), but having a mastery that fully rely on a item that initialy is story-character bound, is just plain stupid. That on a sidenote, anyone noticed how New Kaineng is serious poorly designed? If you take each waypoint, then look where the nearest taxi or glide-line is, it makes absolute no sense at all. People without a griffon/scale have to travel massive elevations, but with non of those things around it makes them a fun gimmick and a scenic tour at best.

Dont, just dont. Get 1 character through the story, get the aborstone teleport scroll, get a jeweler to craft tier 1 -5 (buy from NPC at the bot station), and you are good to go. Ignore the entire story, play it was for the lore, then just travel your chars over and roam free.

We had another attempt yesterday, the run-up was pretty fun with i gues 20 people at best doing all the events to get it to 'high' and then the 3 routes 1 by 1. Then closely towards the moment Aurene comes with the 5 crystals, suddenly map goes full. We had far little time, we were at 20 best like i said, so we failed on the crystal defense timer. 'another kitten up failure from people not knowing what to do', chat goes crazy once again. labjax has a great point, people just plop in the moment it 'gets going' on the final phase, kitten on the same people that actualy made that final phase happen (yeah thats roughly hour at least of work?), then leave again if the 10 min mark isnt below 50%. Maybe they just should split the 2 up, the whole preparing part as 'just a map' and the final bit give it the own map, so everyone comming to that map is dedicated to the same shared goal. The first 3 times i was at that map i had no intend to join that whole meta, had to get my mastery, my hero points, my way points, unlike Dragon's stand where all that stuff you easily can do AFTER the entire fight (30 mins map?). Arborstone is fun, dispite you also clearly see some people just mindlessly rushing forward and forward, leaving any downed behind, ignoring any mob, just going straight for end-boss, end-reward and be done with it, the sheer ammount still works as a whole, the famous 'jade boss insta kill' was always the big trigger on chat, now i more see people going straight for revives and whatnot, so there is a balance is those who cope, and cant cope with players missing the mechanics.

The only actual change i seen from previous world bosses to this one, is the INSANE amount of toxic behaviour in the chat. The easiest ones are just people dropping out close to the end and go 'lol fail again', to the point people are outright racist towards 'stupid noobs' that dont seem to quite understand the mechanics. Once i was happy to see world/map events as a huge collective, a community sharing the same goal, helping eachother, healing and reviving others, but we got to a point where people dont even attack the bubble because 'use the stupid 1 you noob', or yell CC during that big wirlpool moment where half of the people either cant target or cant hit the boss. Yes, some people need more time to learn, some just 'trolling about', but do people really have to go that toxic to 'make their point'? If you are that dead serious about the game, or about 'putting down people on their failures', then dont come. You wont help people by calling them stupid, you wont get progression or alertness by calling them 'homosexuals' . The NPC's (same with that fight in that jade quarry) shout stuff way to late (hide behind something - instant aoe), the targeting to the boss often gets stuck on the stupid ammount of adds and some aoe's are not even ground punches but more like a dome attack that even if you are flying above the dragon, its a instant kill.

I was there earlier on a teleported character (arborstone teleport scroll) so i didnt have the robot-parts yet, but at that point the portal was active. Though no idea atm how to trigger it , like those 2 NPC's keep dying pretty much over and over.

I was surprised to see A.net going down the road of a single mob (that actualy doesn't spawn during certain evens) for the entire community to hunt after, be it a world boss or a timed boss (like the Ley one) still makes sense in some way, but this kinda is a joke.
