Guild Wars Free? I think that’s called core Tyria

writes pronouns .... bye

Compare the screenshot to a screenshot of the starter of Guild Wars Prophecy so, it's likely that we go either to Woodland's Cascade or western Ascalon.

When it comes to fashion, I get asked at least two times a day. I will miss the social aspect of it generally but I think people are over reacting about it. If it bothers them so much, there's not much they can do from getting their look "stolen" anyway, lol, like Rook said, people will just take a picture of it. The option to turn it off would be nice however! Especially for things like fashion contests in the game.

cool kids don't gatekeep fashion or anything else

I'm right in the middle with this fashion inspect, when someone whispers me saying they like my look, i love sharing what pieces i got and what dyes i chose

I don't understand people gate keeping "fashion". People who are determined to know what you're wearing will research it in the wiki anyway. Either that or take a screenshot of your toon and ask about it in FB pages/discord/reddit. I personally love this new feature because this is just basic MMO feature. Some MMO even lets you inspect EVERYTHING (stats). Players complaining about this feature are just too neurotic and conceited.

Things I like about GW2 and would like to see in GW3, the same, or modified and improved. The original Dungeons (IMO) were a good idea with the story mode to introduce them to players, and the 3 explore-able paths that new players couldn't open until they had tried the story mode version. I just wish they had kept them maintained and bug free, while also adding more Dungeons to the game, instead of Fractals with Agony Resistance. Raids instead of Strike Missions - The full on Raids were better thought out and implemented, and the only two improvements I would suggest for them are a tier system (like Fractals), so all levels of player skill can enjoy them, and to continue to add more new Raids every year and with every expansion. More fully thought out story chapters, with no short cuts and dropped story lines because of changed priorities from management. More story content, at more frequent intervals, and each new story release to have sufficient content to take more than just an hour or two to complete. Rework, or remove some of the complexity of the combat system, so the game can be balanced more easily for competitive players, and new maps for both PvP and WvW areas on a regular schedule. New game engine that could reduce, or eliminate loading screen wait times between maps, and increase the maximum allowed number of players for each map. Those are my top requests for GW3, but I can easily think of many more if I took more time to think about it. I suggest that all GW2 players express what they want, because just maybe Anet is watching and listening to what the players want.

Isn't GW2 one of NCSoft's best income producing games? Even though GW2 isn't really huge compared to FFXIV, or WoW, it does have significant numbers still playing the game and buying expansions. I don't know enough about what other games are published by NCSoft, so maybe I'm wrong about GW2 being their biggest income producer.

I have comented on Fornax video several ideas that come to my mind and now fue days later if i look wot i would like the moust... I think i wish WvWvW fokused and polished totally. It could be eaven like in WoW like difrent part of GW2, but with dediicated development team to meik it alive and thicking. That is it🐣

Happy Birthday Kroof(bit late but honest) all best Wishess🌟🌹🌟. Thanx guys, allweis crassy and fan.🎊✨️🎊

How did we skip over which classes are available at launch ?! If it’s 9, which 9 would yall pick ?

Human and Charr are a must! The Norn need there transformations to be part of their skill animations or removed, sylvari are lost with the dragons, and the asura should be an npc only situation. Replaced with new demon race, tengu, and dwarf. But ideally more than 5, especially if in the future there are more to represent factions or teams of races.

Comrade Fornax! Never stop!

I hope GUild Wars 3 doesnt have boons and focuses more on the combo field/combo finishers system that guild wars 2 attempted but never really perfected

I want them to make GW3 and throw out EVERYTHING that made GW2 unique and players love about it, just so GW2 Fans know what the game felt like to the GW1 people lmao

Respect to you Comrade Fornax :)

The highlight of this whole podcast for me is Jebro recommending Absinthe to Kroof. You sir have earned my respect.

This was done before the gw3 leak, it got all the creators talking even though it was a big nothing haha

What if aurene lays an egg.. we care for it like we cared for aurene when she was in her egg.. and then it hatches and it's a mini joko baby

If playable Largos ever happen, I want all weapons available underwater, while underwater gear should be used only on dry land!

Joko is clearly coming back: He could have been in the crystal desert fractal on skywatch archipelago and escaped back to Elona.. or somwhere else. I could totally see the Lich coming back!

this podcast episode is so unhinged lol. ‘Happy Pride!’ lmaooo im dying

The two fingers as an insult go all the way back to the wars between France and England. The French would cut off the right index and middle finger of English archers who were captured so they could no longer use a bow. The English longbowmen started using it as an insult against the French to show that they still had their fingers.

Thanks for doing this interview. It's so cool to hear what it's like from the side of the players. This was the first World-First race I've paid attention to and had various streams on in the background while it was happening. Even my partner who doesn't play GW2 became invested in the progress. This interview also answered a lot of questions we had about how teams approach this, how their strategies unfold and how the teams work.

Sad I missed out on the hat x.x

I would have liked to ask what's their general vision for the future of balance

is there a quest for building a house or is building a house just something players like to do?

Freezie strike CM lets go!

100% agree about the story and lack of cutscenes etc - calling for high standards and don't let them slip!!! comparing stuff to your competitors too. I'm sure Anet are taking notes. btw - within the story i thought i heard something about a spider...?

I ADORED the main story but y'all are right the other half isn't working, I think the main expansion should wrap up most of the plot and the last little episodes to wrap out all the little other plotline, it would feel better and with these much smaller-shorter episodes not have MAJOR other story beats. Nayos is GORGEOUS and the demons are sooo cool but theres nothing of substance, like one of those fake wedding cakes

I think they question we should all be asking is... "Why did Eparch skipped leg day?"

Proper term/word to use for Eparchs legs is; Spindley

What's missing about Eparch is that the story has in no way presented the malignant narcissism that drives him. Look at Eparch, his design shows that he has tried to copy Isgarren in his own way. The form he has is one based on that Isgarren has assumed in recent times to make people think at first glance that he's a Djinn. Eparch looking similar to that is a visual sign that he has been spying on Isgarren and is trying to be a better Isgarren than Isgarren. Think of Trump being obsessed with past presidents of the USA like Washington and Lincoln and expressing that he's better than them. That's Eparch's relationship to Isgarren. What has gone wrong is that the amputated format is horribad at giving the players any sort of foreshadowing that this is the case. I can just hope that there'll be some collection in the third part that goes into this aspect. ANet has also failed by giving him seemingly redeemable traits. Someone who has a malignant narcissism in their personality commonly has none and only rarely has a few.

I think a better pacing would be to extend the story across two expansions so, you get a major drop of the story and then three smaller drips. Then you get another major drop and three drips to finish it. I think that would give a better pacing since this seems rushed and the narrative structure is absent from the last two drips. In the major drop, we had a Darkest Hour where things seemed really bad before we had our Moment of Triumph. In this half we have had no Darkest Hour, we've just gone from Moment of Triumph to Moment of Triumph. This means that the last Moment of Triumph we'll have in the last release will feel shallow and unearned. I feel like I'm reading a David Edding novel where the heroes just go from victory to victory and the villains are just basically no threat at all. A David Edding novel minus the humour, because that part is on point in his nocels.

I fucking hate Hell Sister since she has a lot of instant attacks with no telegraph that hit. And Rook is incorrect. The only reason the Soo-Won, or anything in EoD, could be challenging was due to the Jade Protocols. One of the basics of encounter design is that you never include anything in the encounter that the players are unable to deal with, even if they have to go and get the thing they need to clear the encounter. Due to the insane addition that having Boons has to DPS ANet can only make an encounter that has a high DPS requirement if it's guaranteed people can have those Boons. Go and do Gyala Delve with a full premade, do it two times. The first time with no organisation at all, just the typical blob, and the second time you have organisation and everyone has Jade Protocols with a two-hour duration before the meta starts. The difference in time it takes is insane. The reason they need Jade Protocols is that the Boons from those also affect the Siege Turtle when you take damage and when everyone hits harder and moves faster the Tunnel is tolerable. It's the same with Convergences. My fastest private Convergence was about 15 minutes with an average of 17 minutes because of proper organisation. For public, my fastest was 18 minutes and my average is about 26 minutes. You all might be able to notice a slight difference in time spent there.

Serious visual fix though. Straighten out the hand ion the female model as they hold whatever is in that hand slightly tilted, which looks really stupid if it's a focus or a pistol. Then next fix the female Human and Sylvari model so that the feet and the knees point in the same direction. Third, for some weird reason, the right shoulder on female Sylvari is often too thin and clips. You can really see it with the Magitech shoulders that look fine on Scarlet and clips on normal female Sylvari.

i alway sdid the left and right with my hands to know where left and right is

Btw, spoiler suggestion for your next Lightbringers. Spoiler . . . . . . . . . . Take a picture of Isgarren and compare it to a picture of Eparch. Then look at his castle in the distance and as Boots said, the silhouette is extremely similar to that of the Tower itself. Remember the timeline. Isgarren assumed his some time to look more like a Djinn form after he yeeted Eparch. Isgarren lives rent-free in Eparch's head while Isgarren just wants Eparch to go away :p

Fornax Krytan Herald is so great at her videos and Kroof im always super entertained watching them... does Rookuri even play gw2?

Gotta agree with Jebro about raids. More frequent and regular strike content with decent CMs would provide the same content.

I tend to agree on the gw2 niche. FFXIV and WOW have raiding as their main focus but have terrible open world and and pretty old school combat. GW2 does open world better than anyone else and that's a draw for people.

Nice podcast! Hope there will be more viewers in the future!

I would have loved to see the new weapons given to us as part of the story. I imagine similar to how we were stripped off gear at the start of EOD until we got out of jail. Would be cool if an enemy knocked the weapon out of our hands and then Peitha throws us the new weapon for our profession and we get to finish the fight with it.

I feel like ele should have dual pistol as well. We already have a mid-range option for main hand, but no mid-range/long-range option for off-hand.

also just realized this patch is abreviated as "ROD" xD

Wish bootts was here but always lovely when its Rookuri, Fornax and Kroof with Jebro ^_^

I agree with Kroof, the Legendary Relic felt so good!

Jebro you brought up a very interesting point about the alt universe where GW2 is a subscription game. If GW2 is a subscription game, it's probably going to be the top MMO in the market. Creativity truly shines when you have limited resources and that what ANET have been dealing with for a long time. EOD is the perfect example of that. If they have WoW and FF14 budget, they would blow those two games off the roof. Also, Its always fun to listen to Fornax just be unhinged.
