Guild Wars 2

I am going to ask an honest question here, any chance we can get these two NPC’s removed from Lions arch or involved in some kind of tragic Halloween accident where their vocal chords are destroyed?

I don’t like to whine on the forums, but this is seriously hurting my enjoyment of the game and I often disable my audio completely in Lions Arch because of it.

I would request that you give us a new volume slider that allows us to disable voiceovers/NPC banter/I could outrun a centaur.

If you wan’t to drive your customers insane you are doing a good job.

but it’s a great day to drink it!

At least you don’t craft near the guys talking about outhouses…

Or the Tailor NPC. “MY EARS HOW ARE YOU?!”

“Wanna play “Ghosts and Charrs” again? Yeah, but can we both be Charr this time?"
“Sure, you can be a Charr. It doesn’t matter to me what you are, let’s play!”
“MONSTERS!!!”
“GHOSTS!!!”

Arena, please… ._.

Oh god, how did I forget about this.

One of my friends on IRC said:

Its like they rounded up a bunch of teenagers from a local high school payed them minimum wage and asked them to write one liners for He Man and the Masters of the Universe.

Yes, it is that terrible.

It feels like I’m playing Skyrim again. One particular line of Skyrim dialogue is infamous, but as a whole, the game contains a lot of repeating dialogue that quickly becomes grating. Skyrim and GW2 are also similar in that a lot of these lines are spoken by kids who aren’t really written as realistic kids.

OMG try “Less violence, more violets” when you’re crafting near Sylvari. Oddly enough, it makes me want to show her more violence…….

But you must never let a wrong ripen into evil!

“Did you see what she was wearing?” “No, I was too busy looking at him”

Egads cooking station, i am both in middle of “in that case you want a sylvari”

so i hear both…

More stone carvings?

Hit up the Charr starting area, especially near the auction house guys, and some dude cooking something that never seems to be finished. I’ve never heard sound loop so quickly in any game…. ever.

It’s literally like there’s no pause at all, just constant repeat.

“Kittens got a sword to. Back off!”

“Beware! Sons of Svanir!” was my favorite in Hoelbrek before they fixed it.

Tequatl

“Watch out! It’s about to breath!” really? To me it sounds like he saying he’s saying “it’s about to breed” xD A lot of the voices overlap as well. “It has reinforcements! Slay them” at the same time “Get out of the way! It’s about to breath” They are all kinda goofy.

Shatterer= like a play by play sports announcer.
“Get everybody out of the crystals!”
Not fond of those, but i deal with it.

In Divinty;s Reach hearing that female : “uh uhuhuh uh uh”

“BY OGDEN’S HAMM0R, WUT SAVINGS!!!!1112!”

I’m amused by the Charr cooking near the BC, but near the TP NPC’s there are a couple of annoying ones:

“Boss, I’m working as fast as I can (despite the fact that “boss” never says anything and this peon apparently defines “working as fast as he can” as “standing there talking”)!"

“We’re all out of those big ones.”

“That trader left a message for you, boss.”

“I can’t stock more of those until you get more in!” (Ya think?)

However, the most epic NPC dialogue in the game belongs to the one and only Halan Fromanj.

I laugh so kittening hard when I hear that. Or, “BY THE BEAR, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT GAME”

the one that annoys me most is near the TP in LA… “So if this farmer sells me rotten vegetables one more time”

lol I love the ones at Lions Arch trading post. Idiot humans talking with smart Asuras.

Human: “20 gold!? Yesterday it was 10!”
Asura: “Today, 20.”

Or when the human says a really long sentence that I don’t remember and the Asura simply responds, “No.”

Makes me lol everytime.

Personally, I like the little conversations. They’re funny, and I’d rather they were there than nothing at all. I always stop to listen to the little conversations I haven’t heard before, and if they really annoy you that much, you DO know you can turn your sound off when you don’t need it for combat, don’t you?

Actually, I believe the human was talking to a Skritt

Yeah, the human calls someone “skritt-heads” then says, “no offense.”

keep up the good work , love all the npc remarks , specially get amused enjoyment from the laughter in divintys reach , it is repetitive yes ,. but doesnt bug me anyway , and another great one , a conversation in lions arch, near a certain minor jp, " hey man have you seen the new dancers" , response, " the sylvari or human " ,.. other npc . " no man the charr " ,.. response " man your one sick puppy "

Or just get over it, OP, and play the game according to ArenaNet’s whims and just mute your sound if you don’t take the dialogue.. to be honest, once I’ve heard certain dialogue elements X times it just fades to background noise anyhow and it’s hardly a nuisance you REALLY want ArenaNet to devote limited and costly dev hours too, right?

What about the norn vendors yapping “I pray to the spirits of the wild, but they rarely answer.”

How would you like to be human and have your effin Gods not speak for over two centuries??

You can just turn down the voice volume….

What is all the complaining about? I think it adds flavor.

My favorite NPC conversation is two female charr by the Imperial Smelter in Black Citadel, pity there’s not much reason to go there more often.
“You’re looking at him like he’s a slab of meat.”
“You got a problem with that?”
“Yeah, you’re blocking my view!”
:D

yeah but at least the “SHUT UP!” is funny even after the 60th time

I remember this person in the very first beta, looking for my first merchant. Funny thing is, the character has a gruff, macho voice. But a female charr model. Seems to be a few of em that are like that.

All I’m going to say is, if you guys whine enough to get Anet to remove, “by Ogden’s hammer, what savings,” I’m going to spatial surge you all WITH THE HUBBLE!!

I would never. I’ve heard this one a hundred times and it makes me laugh every single time.

“More violets, less violence” just makes me want to go on a rampage, though.
