Fornax, your voice has the wonderful dulcett tones of a smooth jazz melody -- your cadence holds the consistent tempo of a double bass while your inflections pop and brighten up sentences like the inclusion of a trumpet in a jazz number.
I am so hoping for that! Maybe even be a way to save appearance sets as a secondary function. Wishful thinking. I’d be through the rough just to have displays.
I find it interesting that the player is being referred to as the wayfinder rather than commander. At first I thought this was perhaps a soft reboot intended as a new starting point for players after finishing the base game, but it seems the story is following directly from SOTO.
@@lostsanityreturned agreed. It's honestly my least favourite thing about the story in GW2. I don't like being the all powerful commander. I love how in the base game you're a relative nobody for most of the story. Guess it's a difficult thing to avoid after a decade plus of story though.
I'm imagining the ability to use weapon skills while mounted on the warclaw, but not all of them or the same way as dismounted, but as unique mount skill for each of the weapons.
I really like the vibe of this forthcoming expansion and that they are somehow magically making raids not elitist is true genius lol. But seriously I rarely felt any interest in raiding but an open world instance with 3 bosses sounds like fun.
Pre-purchased like half an hour after the update, using your referral, of course! 🥰 Got that new character slot, wanna make an "expansion-themed" toon right away, but need to know all the land spear details are before choosing a profession.. ugh... lol. Can't wait for your lore analysis and speculation video(s)!!! Not literally can't wait, tho, so don't rush it, look after your health first and foremost!! 😅 Hopefully, the hype from the JW announcement has given you an overall boost. 🙏
I really, really, REALLY hope that the houses are not going to be too rigid into terms of room options and plot size. I've always loved how much control you can have over your fashion, so I'm hoping housing is essentially Guild Hall Deco+. I also hope we can change up the general aesthetic of the place, if we're locked into specific plot sizes and shapes. I'm a die-hard Cantha fan, and really want to make a Canthan themed house.
I'm looking forward to see which class I will select for our free level 80 booster, for now I think it will be the Ranger, they show in the last video that the spear will be long range, and that's what I want from the spear, to be long range. Maybe the Elementalist, Warrior, and Engineer can also have long range spear, we will see in the new upcoming video they will show us. For the Warclaw I'm hoping they will add speed to it because right now it is really slow, and it's strange for a Feline. If the Warclaw can be as fast as the roller beetle in WvW and PvE, more people will use the mount, and more people will have fun maping. For the Homestead I'm hoping it will be a blend between our Home instance, Hall of monument, and some aspect of the guild hall.
I don't actively play lately But i do every now and then look up what's going on in GW an 99% of the time i get that info from here And i know you must hear it often but i don't care i just like to say - your voice is so perfect You should be cast as some recurring character in the game if you weren't already
Seems the mechanics so far they shown of spear attacks seem more swiping and slashing, I hope they have Piercing strikes as well. Seems more like fighting with a Halberd
So will the Home Portal Stone give us an option to port to our Homestead as well? Or will our Homestead have a direct way like our Guild Halls (making the stone worthless)?
love the white mantle story, alongside with W4 lore, it was always so interesting, mysterious and filled with action. (am also biased because Canach was part of the lw3 story but hey) overall i am excited for this.
I am looking forward for this one werry much. Last one wos OK-ish, great thil the last map ... Nayos not my think. But this landscapes are totally my gem, i just love it. Its like Rocky-Mounteins or something like it. I love player housing and hoping for posibility of bringing more players in, like in Guild-Halls. Some Arena, practicing ground for friends would be great aswell. Kichen, cooking station and adere crafting stations aswell would be nice and apreciated. Somebody sad a portals to all main gamemods, WvWvW and PvP, Fractals, Strikes and Raids and back afcorse. Fighting-praktis Golem or something like that would be nice. It can be all achievements, to unlock it. Would be nice if it can be somehow conected to our choosen Guild and its Guild-Hall. There is lots to be done with it, its so cool tool. Thanx for the video, i love it❣️🐣❣️
When it comes to homestead, I'm worried that we won't be able to have future locations and building choices to get the most out of customizing our homes. Not everyone wants to live in a cabin. Plenty want to live in Kryta or Asura style places. Also lets hope the recipes for decorations isn't insane since there isn't a big legendary set being released in the expansion. It needs to be comparable to other crafting.
I love your contents and special interest to ask if you are educated in phycology or sociology? The tone of your voice and the way you use it soothes my soul.🙂↔️🙂↔️👍
As someone who played WoW for years and went to GW2 for a more relaxed and casual game , it was very surprising to me that GW2 didn't have any LFD/LFR system, this for imo is a great addition to the game.

Fornax, your voice has the wonderful dulcett tones of a smooth jazz melody -- your cadence holds the consistent tempo of a double bass while your inflections pop and brighten up sentences like the inclusion of a trumpet in a jazz number.
Gosh! Thank you for the love.
Janthir+White Mantle= great history and content. I think the LW3 and all the W1-W4 lore was the peak of GW2 storytelling, with LW4.
Agreed!
FR
How great it will be if homesteads will have a display armor case feature, and weapon display case. To show off your fashion and legendaries!
That would be awesome!
I am so hoping for that! Maybe even be a way to save appearance sets as a secondary function. Wishful thinking. I’d be through the rough just to have displays.
I find it interesting that the player is being referred to as the wayfinder rather than commander. At first I thought this was perhaps a soft reboot intended as a new starting point for players after finishing the base game, but it seems the story is following directly from SOTO.
It feels nice to be free of the burden of command.
I kinda think they should have made it a fresh start with less character reliance... but I am not anet.
@@lostsanityreturned agreed. It's honestly my least favourite thing about the story in GW2. I don't like being the all powerful commander. I love how in the base game you're a relative nobody for most of the story. Guess it's a difficult thing to avoid after a decade plus of story though.
Thank you for the map drawing. I thought we'd be in the area around that Penitent raid/old GW1 area, but this is even more exciting now!!!
I'm imagining the ability to use weapon skills while mounted on the warclaw, but not all of them or the same way as dismounted, but as unique mount skill for each of the weapons.
"Press my buttons bellow" done

Just built someone special her first pc so she can try GW2 with me!! She's always wanted to play GW so maybe she'll like it!
Love your videos.
Can I ask that you use an audio gain or normalizer on them?
At max volume on my phone it is pretty quiet
Sorry Im fairly awful with audio. I use audition and hard limit to -6.
The Queen has spoken 👩⚖️
/hugs
I really, really, REALLY hope that the houses are not going to be too rigid into terms of room options and plot size. I've always loved how much control you can have over your fashion, so I'm hoping housing is essentially Guild Hall Deco+. I also hope we can change up the general aesthetic of the place, if we're locked into specific plot sizes and shapes. I'm a die-hard Cantha fan, and really want to make a Canthan themed house.
We are getting our own island I think
Super excited if that's the case! A bit like runecsape's housing then, which is really neat!
I was hoping for legendary air breather

JOB WELL DONE As Always The Krytan Herald🤗👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!
I don't actively play lately
But i do every now and then look up what's going on in GW an 99% of the time i get that info from here
And i know you must hear it often but i don't care i just like to say - your voice is so perfect
You should be cast as some recurring character in the game if you weren't already
Excited to hear your thoughts about it!
Thank you!
Seems the mechanics so far they shown of spear attacks seem more swiping and slashing, I hope they have Piercing strikes as well. Seems more like fighting with a Halberd
They have posted a blog about the spear. Kroof did a great breakdown here - th-cam.com/video/EEZeyEqNBeE/w-d-xo.html
@@FornaxTheHerald excellent... Soon Shambala Hirut, the Descendant of my Guild Wars 1 Paragon Amon Hirut will Rise!
I guess we will be using the warclaws chains on the titans, which might have something to do with the new debilitating effect?!
Going to be live on twitch until we're all burnt out post expansion lol!
There are worse things to do with ones time. Do stay hydrated!
So will the Home Portal Stone give us an option to port to our Homestead as well? Or will our Homestead have a direct way like our Guild Halls (making the stone worthless)?
Very hyped for this expac.
I'd LOVE to eventually see them bring Scythe back as a weapon for everyone!! I loved Dervish.
I would love this, they got close with the reaper necro but a scythe for all professions would be great.
Anyone know if the legendary 'backpack' is a 'back item' or a 'bag' ??
the werebears looks so amazing.. i wish they will be playable races in future. maybe GW3?
We can but hope!
@@FornaxTheHerald maybe you can record a video about your favourite races that are not playable but you want to see them playable?
AWESOME video as per usual!
Thank you so much hun 🤗💕
love the white mantle story, alongside with W4 lore, it was always so interesting, mysterious and filled with action. (am also biased because Canach was part of the lw3 story but hey)
overall i am excited for this.
Best character of all time.
@@FornaxTheHeraldCanach is the best allied character, but Joko is the best character when considering both allies and enemies.
Praise Joko!
I just hope Housing brings some utiliy with it besides the actual home nodes we already have (& I hate to farm)
Aye, personal crafting stations for one.
11:57 this warclaw skin isn't in the game yet right?
I don’t think so.

Fingers crossed!
That expansion hyped me a lot but I still didn't even get SotO lol
this thing is still going huh, surprised.
I have a feeling we gonna be fighting a kraken next expansion
Titans, I think.

Just give me a Malyk update please and thank you
One day!!!
as someone who used to play wvw, most wvw players don't want new maps after the disaster that was desert borderlands
we must have hope.... or gin.
/cheers
