I'm pretty sure that the new little dragon Aurene who is a baby of Glint, the lieutenant of Kralkatorrik. Will end up absorbing all of Kralk's power, it was revealed in the last living world story that we basically put primordus and jormag "to sleep". Long story short little asura, Taimi, tries to create a machine to make the dragons fight each other, balthazar shows up and takes the machine it explodes and both dragons go to bed.
No new classes are slated for the expansion, just more elite specs. Unless it's still in its infancy stage that it's not available to any testers and just the devs themselves, but seeing as how terrible revenant was implemented i'm not sure i would want them to ruin the dervish class.
The mounts have combat abilities themselves, so you can fight people. I know one "jumps" based off the leaps of a mastery saying it leaps further. I can imagine them saying we are going to add these to core tyria as a selling point. Yes it is easy, but look at how much easier gliding made completing the core tyria world and it made people who don't have HoT wanting to buy it.
Yeah, so quick lore recap:
Season 3 is by far the best season that there has been, not to mention one of the things i've wanted most is more locations to go. Since launch before season 3 the only new place we got to go to was the Maguuma jungle, yet now we have been to fire islands, shiverpeaks, new kryta zone, etc.
I believe it actually "fuses" the ranger with the pet, so no more bullshit pet. Which will make me wanna play my ranger again ~Awesome, thanks for the leaks. Looks like Soulbeast will be the new Elite Spec for Ranger, and seems to revolve around the pet, looking at the Icons of the skills. Nice! Never liked Druid, always wanted more pet Power. It also looks like some of the Mount Masteries will make travel a bit less cumbersome. I like the mastery where you can see hostile foes on your minimap.
Tbh, I was hoping for something like a Henchmen or Hero system for instanced content like Dungeons, but I guess that will never happen.
But I am still looking forward to this a lot. Seems like those Mounts will keep me busy for a long time, need 66 Mastery Points for the 5 mounts alone.
Ouch, so shapeshifting? I don't like that at all. Too Druidic for my taste, I love my pet being a separate entity that I can control to wreak havoc.
Somebody at Anet must love Druids.
I don't think so, i just think it flat out gives the ranger stats and their pets give them various passive buffs, like tiger will give pulsing fury instead of having to press X every 10 seconds. Also I don't think you will be able to run the old elite spec and the new one because you can only run elite specs in the third bar in the build tree. Meaning you can only be druid or this new class. Obviously no one will pick this new class because grace of the land is just too good not to run. I really hope they go back and rework all the old elites/make these new ones worthwhile to use over the old ones.Ouch, so shapeshifting? I don't like that at all.

I am lazy so if I shapeshift, I have to do it all myself.
