Announcing Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure
The fourth expansion for Guild Wars 2 launches on August 22, 2023.
My first read on this is to be pretty excited; the new dailies system looks interesting, more accessible skyscale will be good for newer players, etc.

I'm pretty hyped, I love the communication from them! I've still got so much to do from icebrood and EoD, time to dive back in I guess!
My only worry about the sky scale is how they talk about buffing its movement, it sounds fun but it's also already the most powerful mount. Hard to imagine a use for our bunny or raptor if we're zipping over queensdale on our dragon. Guess it matters less if everyone's got it, no more leaving new folks out.
Are they buffing base skyscale movement speed? Because that's the use case for the raptor, it's faster than skyscale over flat surfaces.
Only use my springer gets nowadays is when a boss has a CC bar to break at the start of a fight, eg matriarch.
As far as I can tell, they aren't buffing the speed, but it gains a lot of new utility. Being able to mount in combat sounds quite broken, and will apparently not be possible with the other mounts.
