Is Dawntrail going to bring new things again?

Go wild and introduce stamina bar and dodge roll to evade mechanics.

*Laughs in ex-ESO player* A dodge roll mechanic sounds like a fun thing until you remember this is an online game where it's not always going to be the most ping stable. Dodging mechanics can easily just get messed up if a player has a slightly unstable ping which is like so many players in some many areas around the world. Even in places with good internet the infrastructure is kinda ass.

Also we had a stamina bar, it was called TP and the game was so much worse when it was still in. I have met zero people who genuinely enjoyed the TP mechanic hence why they removed it.

Hello, Welcome to Canada. We're the Second Biggest Country in the World. If you don't live in Toronto, eventually your fiber optic internet will have to go to a PoP station, to go to Toronto. At that PoP station, it'll use old ass copper cabling. Good Luck!

Why would they do back to old design when Shadow ringers and Endwalker proved to be more successful and popular than anything that came before? The formula was established in ShB and brought unprecedented success. It was repeated in EW and success repeated. Don't expect change to something that works.

Who spoke about going back?

[BarghastTimes]

Everyone making suggestions that are basically variations of things people hated? Like, "Oh, let's make it Dark Souls with dodging and rolling. COR." You mean like when we had TP, and you got to.... either fight, choose to sprint from a mechanic, or die? And sometimes you just ran outta TP and stood there like a dipshart.

Look forward paying your housing as minting NFTs and you will get gear the way you get characters in gacha games.

Game was always like that, especially since Heavensward when they really became interested in brain-training mechanics rather than RNG.

No it was not. Encounter mechanics were not 99% of the encounter. There was many things to take care of, namely the things we have lost along the way.

This is not a call to return to the gLoRiOuS dAyS of HW/SB.

I've never liked GW2's combat. Even in raids, it's just so floaty.

What does floaty mean?

No it was not. Encounter mechanics were not 99% of the encounter.

Ok, so you think the fights did not used to be scripted... you can literally play those fights now. They are still scripted/rehearsals. The scripts are online in guides and wikis. The mechanics happen in a certain order mostly.

You say that, but I would think the game was better for it. Not because I fear positionals, but they've been slowly removing that bandage for years, and it's getting sad.

While i think melee design would suffer alot for it, fight design would improve without needing to take melee positioning into account for every fight, at least imo
