Yeah I had heard them mention air currents and thought there was a side tunnel or something you gotta glide into and proceeded to fall into the lava pit lol. The only good thing about that mission was that you could skip 90% of the mobs. I also don't get why they have you keep your profession skills when you play a different character. Just make em op if you really want us to experience someone elses story but are worried people might only know how to play their character.
Not really a fan of the DRM either. I don't even think the mastery buffs work outside the missions. Probably the most worthless mastery investment for future content I can think of off the top of my head The Drizzlewood coast maxed mastery for the emp alone is probably a better investment although I don't have enough points to get it since I went all in to the champions mastery and I'm not sure if by the final I do like how you can public run them though.
Next expansion is going to have the water dragon but unless Aurene goes nuts that should be the last of em. Gonna suck to lose Primordus's champion though. I assume they are going to have to die Also not sure if that means the wild spirits are going to die too or if the Norn will worship new ones or what.
I kinda agree with you but kinda don't about the racial interactions/smaller threats, on one hand its nice but then on the other when its a known thing like the Charr or the Horde in wow and you have suddenly a fraction of a faction kicking the whole worlds ass its kinda silly. I'd rather have dragons over that but new stuff like Joko's undead and living worshipers is definitely better than flame/branded/zombie/ice/plant coated nearly mindless creatures that convert people/things. I am kinda curious what kind of corruption the water dragon will do. Is it just going to toss scales on shit, make em partially water, or what?
I'd like to see an invasion from another planet either because we are destroying the natural balance by killing the elder dragons or because now they think they got a chance without the Elder dragons around.
