i know that SOTO was a controversial gw2 expac but i personally think not all isgarren hate is completely fair... he gets a lot of flak for trying to stop experiment 626 but you have to remember this was a dangerous indestructible alien experiment that had been unleashed onto earth and he was only doing his due diligence. he didn't know it would form a bond with a broken family, and to his credit, the instant he knew, he stepped down

Woo. Let's break down that news post with random responses.

I like the Astral Ward and I'm glad we'll be seeing more of them. Wizards can just go sit in a corner and think about what they didn't do.

Trying to stretch 3 updates out of Inner Nayos clearly wasn't working, and I'm glad they're addressing this splitting it into 2. Let's face it, the 3rd update added next to nothing to that map. I will gladly take a Bjora/Drizzlewood approach, and have the first quarterly update focus on the first 2 maps and whatnot.

"that first quarterly release will include something really exciting that players have been requesting for over 5 years" A lot of people are speculating the return of raids for this one, timeline adds up I think? Honestly, raids cannot come back exactly as they are. A big thing people liked about strike content is the story mode of well… the story. If raids come back please for the love of fuck give us a nice story mode version of it. I'm still bitter about a lot of White Mantle stuff being behind raids. I've since seen it thanks to lore people making lore-centric raid clears, but god that pissed me off. Ahem. Anyway.

Water stuff! Land water stuff! This looks promising. And the funky little buildings in the background. Very nice.

The retrospective roadmap of what they've added in the past year is pretty impressive. While some of that is just filler like the rush events, there was actually a fair whack of things that happened. Good times.

Keeping expectations and hype low until the blog post next week that will actually tell us things. Next Tuesday is a suuuuuuper busy day for me even before this, so aaaaaaaah. Excited. Yes.

Back to hitting people in Discord (affectionate)

I know this is really small and inconsequential overall but one little part of the release that kind of grinds at me is, during the very last instance, we get three separate options to choose on how the commander interprets the "peace" agreement with the kryptis. being either welcoming of it, you're all on thin ice, or totally neutral. it gives the impression that anet is definitively aware of the complaints regarding the commander now just feeling like they're a background character with no real influence on the story, and so they decided to throw in one little paper-thin bone to compensate for that. "here!! you get to choose how you feel about the outcome of everything!! this fixes everything!" and then regardless of what you choose there's literally no reaction to it from everyone else anyway. even if you choose the negative one. just the illusion of choice.

Time to beat the Midnight King once and for all.

my personal prediction for how the next expansion is gonna start based on that letter from anise to livia

the commander, trying to relax: the commander, answering their comms device: hello? anise: hey remember when 8 years ago you became an honorary blade and made that oath of confidence? remember how you're technically bound by duty to kryta and the throne but you're basically a special agent with special freedoms that's allowed to mostly do what you want as long as it's not against kryta? the commander, checking the gw2 wiki to see 8 years have actually passed in-universe between lws3 and soto: yeah? anise: yeah special freedoms time over get your ass over here NOW

I did not expect my last poll to take off like it did. So for fun, let's do a companion one, GW2blr!

*If you have multiple Commanders, vote for your main/most used.

RB for a bigger sample size :3

Despite everything I always like getting story updates HOWEVER

I kinda hate when things require you to do metas or other activities which would be better with people cos then I feel a lil rushed to do the activities while people are actually there. Like if try and do it at my own pace at a later point I won't be able to do it cos the even simply doesn't have the manpower, you get me?
