I'm a GW2 roleplayer (I know, cringe...), and I wanted to give a shoutout to everyone who has worked on all the content so far. This is the best RP experience I've ever had in my life. Just yesterday I was nearly crying tears of joy because I actually had A PLAYER HEALER for the first time in five years. People have been so kind, and I've managed to find such kind people.

Thank you, THANK YOU for making all of this possible.

As for questions, any possibility of more mechanical-looking mount skins? Bought the Reforged Hellhound and made it look like a Golem, and it's been an integral part of my Asura for a bit (there was even a plot where we had to get it back from the Cavaliers 'cause made with Forged metal), but wouldn't mind having some other golemesque mounts....

Edit: Race/Class/Gender breakdown of dev team's characters?

I don't have any answers for your questions, but I just wanted to say that I'm 100% with you on getting different experiences. I think hearts are a great spot for this (as they were in the base game) and while it's not ep1 specific, I really appreciate the opportunities to help refugees, or the injured, or (for some reason) choya, and (especially for the heart in the Temple of Kormir) to do things that aren't just kill a handful of monsters and collect a few widgets.

This is for anyone on the team if you could eat one food from in-game what would you pick and why?

I really want to find out what omnomberries taste like!

Also, mushroom and asparagus risotto is delicious, just saying...
