Oh my God i'm still hyped about the story I just experienced. Aurene was ADORABLE I wish we got to pet her... o-or something. I mean I know it's an all-powerful being that's regarded as a New God but. I mean. so cute.

I didn't experience by far all there is to see on the map (I didn't even see the jumping puzzle! Maybe... I should be... glad...), but what I did see made me so happy. Saving skritt! The enormous robot! The leyline rollercoaster was so much fun! The story having some really unexpected twists and what an epic and intriguing ending!

Who designed the mastery point in the lava lake though... what sadist is responsible for this?

1.- I noticed no class balance was done this time around, will class balance patches be limited strictly to being released after a PvP season ends?

2.- The new BLING fractal vendor is a great addition to fractals overall but it worries me that you added yet another matrix sink without adjusting drops accordingly meaning prices IN THEORY should raise for them (they spiked already but it may be a temporary spike). Did you take any price projections into consideration?

Thank you in advance for any responses, feels the game is going the right direction and that makes me really happy.

I must say that I really enjoyed this episode, I really quite like the more "open" (i.e. less instanced content) style this one had, it felt really great to play through, to be honest.
Really looking forward to the next episode!

Also, a random question; minor story spoiler inside™

There is no section in the LFG for the new map. Is this overlooked? Or is it cause it will just be too much clutter after some more new maps?

That's the cherry on top!

2- We did anticipate a demand spike, but we feel that this is actually a good thing. The more valuable matrices are, the more rewarding fractals become. When matrices were at 20s, it was not profitable to salvage rings. Now, salvaging ascended rings yields a good profit.

Have you considered adding options other than 3 points and some secondary objectives? Something like capture the flag, the payload thing from Overwatch etc. I believe it will add more flavour to the game and this is always a good thing.

I absolutely love the new Capricorn, I hope you won't make it another reskinned copy of Foefire like you did with Spirit Watch and Skyhammer. Have you considered updating old maps like you did with Capricorn? I've done a decent amount of rated PvP this year and I can tell you that Legacy of the Foefire is a super newbie trap.

Just finished the final story instance: Damn, this is how I like my story instances! Not just the story which was amazing, the difficulty was great!

Oh, right, I need a question. Be honest. How many designers died of cuteness overload?

Yo guys! Excellent release! Very happy with the PvE progress in game, not so much PvP but ill get to that shortly.

Q1: how much time is actually spent on a map like this?
Im quite curious because at first i thought it seemed a bit void of diversity and content but after some exploring i discovered a lot of attention to detail and nooks and crannies all over the place.
Does the tool you use allow you to create the area en masse with some filler or do you need to literally detail every inch?

Question 2 pvp :
I am still very unhappy with the atate of PVP mostly because duels last too long (or indefinitely in some cases) due to a large amount of sustain that every single class currently has, this is aggregated by maps that take longer to traverse or have even more LOSing options as the latest 2 new maps. This concerns me greatly as fights last way too long thanks to lmited effectiveness of rotation on these maps.
Are you looking to release the sa...

I don't have a question, just a comment. MO, pat your team on the back. You guys have been nothing short of awesome. Been playing GW2 since release and it is the only MMO I've ever stayed with over 2 years.
