  1. 34:25 The way you put it about the War claw โ€œdyingโ€ makes me imagine a hard mode nuzlocked version of GW2 using ranger where if pets or mounts die they are gone for ever and canโ€™t be used, like wise for yourself if killed or all pets are killed you essentially lose the challenge

  2. @woodenpotatoes Now that you have your Homestead, if you log out in the homestead, instead of going back to the main map, that character will appear in one of three locations around the homestead. So if you log everyone out there they will all appear in the homestead when you go there.

  3. I remember when SoTO launched you were very realistic on how ANet handled the new expansion model. You said that it may take them at least a couple to really fine tune the process. Things may change in the quarterly updates but my thoughts are that they knocked it out of the park. It reminds me a lot of launch gw2, with the exploration focus, but feels fresh at the same time.

    The story has been pretty good(though I haven't finished it yet). The sequence here with Stoic Alder and Pokey hit me pretty hard. The voice actors knocked it out of the park.

  4. I feel like I'm enjoying random dynamic events way more than in modern meta maps, because almost all of them give progress to hearts, and you are encouraged to repeat them. I think this is how they were intended to work in core, but metas kind of made us forget that. Very cool!

  5. Random side note, while watching, at 53:34 you asked about race-specific dialogue and back when you first arrived at the village, the bear who led you in mentions something about sharing a love of nature like yourself and calls you a Seedling or something similar because youโ€™re a Sylvari. Just a random thing I noticed.

  6. Without spoiling anything I think you are going to really enjoy the first instance of chapter 5.

    One thing I do like is the new tiered hearts it feels like a very simple type of reputation system if they could retroactively make older hearts work in the same way perhaps one region a patch gets updated to the tiered system but perhaps I'm hoping for too much.

  7. I'm sad you are done with PvP. Game of the Day was (by far) my favorite content you ever made. I am also really excited for the new game mode. If it's good enough, I might even consider buying SotO or JW.

  8. So far, this expansion has been everything I want out of open world adventuring. Fantastic setting, beautiful music, jawdropping vistas, solid and varied gameplay with fun traversal, great voice acting and an interesting storyline.

  9. Did you know you can now mount up on your warclaw during combat? There's a cooldown if you do so you can't just spam it, but this makes it the only mount that allows this (helping it further fulfill it's own niche)

    Nevermind I just need to continue watching lmao
