I’ve been looking around the forums today, and I constantly see people kitten ed off with the Scarlet surprise. Earlier patch releases there were people somewhat supporting her trying to give her a chance, but this patch I just see anger everywhere.

Yes Scarlet ruined another patch, but at least we found out that the reactor had something to do with Dragons. This seemed to be completely overlooked because people stopped paying attention after Scarlet showed her face.

I’m annoyed too, but I want to hear if there is anyone who is thinking “Gee, I really like this villain” and is supporting Anet along this path of (at this point) disappointment.

I lost interest when the Crown Pavilion showed up. Haven’t touched the LS since, and won’t be touching Fractals now that Scarlet is in one of them.

Does it really matter? Lets say we have killed scarlet, what now? Another villain will try to do something bad. I don’t care.

PS. But yes, she is funny sometimes.

Preferably an alternate Abbadon either Evon or Mad King Thorn pulled out of a Realm of Torment Fractal.

Of course such an entity would preferably cause massive alterations to Tyria.

Like turning the Shiverpeaks into _Blood_peaks similar to the Depths of Madness….

Ya’ll better keep your dead human god and your pumpkin king away from my beautiful mountains!

But yeah, I want another villain, but I don’t think the problem is Scarlet as a character. I don’t hate Scarlet as much as most players seem to do, I just don’t want to see her stuff everywhere, all the time. My real problem with the story is that I need it to make sense. When it does not, I can’t enjoy it.
Out of all the things that were not explained, one of them is the one that bothers me more than any other: Where is Trahearne?
I’m not asking “where he npc is”. I am asking “where in the Living Story is him”. Many things happened, things that he should be worried about, if not as the Pact’s leader then as a Sylvari Firstborn or as the guy that knows more about Orr than everyone else (Teq shows up stronger? Not his problem, it seems). However, he said nothing to his best friend and commander. Not even a letter!
Come on! He contact me to talk about every single step on the PS. Now, he simply vanished.

So yeah, sorry, I’m a bit tired with the story :T

While i agree, i want to see something amazing… But it is not a single player game, it is MMO. Devs are very limited, they can’t turn shiverpeaks into bloodpeaks.

In other games developers just push updates. In gw2 devs try explain changes. May be it is not epic story, but it is something. They just add content through LS.

I prefer to have good content with bad explanation, rather than one time good story. If i want to read stories, i read books. In MMO i want to see MMO content.

Of course it is not contradiction. But may be it is not always possible to make good content and a good story behind in same time.

Simply story in this game isnt interesting and its always I dont know.. how to describe it.. 2D? Instead of continuing their gw1 lore and Destiny’s Edge what we were hyper for a years before release they now release tons of new boring characters what you never look again. Main villain Scarlet? Cmon how can she be interesting.. Some half mad girl with complex. My grandma is more interesting.

Please just do content without any type of story and dont mess with you lore even more.

Could you make a Scarlet tribute video where your grandma re-voices all the lines Scarlet said? That way, we can see wheter what you say is true.

If you can read this then it is proof that ArenaNet’s moderators just, kind and fair.

Well, we’d have a collection of posts discussing hate for that character just at the mention of his inclusion. You know the sort I’m referring to. This would be a revisit to threads of old, but he as a character should have input, I agree. Plus, given the amount of feedback Anet has received regarding Trahearne, one would suppose they could actually take that on board and write good, strong stuff for him (and ask for a somewhat more passionate delivery in his lines. Or a new VA). Anything but this Scarlet kitten.

well there are bug catchers popping up all over the place, normally I get quite curious about this kind of stuff but I know its just scarlet and will be another lame story where you stop her and she appears at the end, spouts some random dribble about absolutely nothing important, has a laugh and then teleports away… you won’t learn anything new either.

lost interest now.

Well the problem is that there was a sign in a blog post posted on Scarlet back in August, detailing her research and interest in thaumanovic devices, which ties her to the reactor quite descriptively. I put this information together back when they offered the fractals and decided that Scarlet would be involved in the fractal, course this was when it was Queens Jubilee and things looked somewhat promising. How wrong I was. Then again I voted for the Abaddon fractal, and now I just get to be disappointed that such an interesting fractal may never be released, and Scarlet is still a thing.

I didnt give 2 Quaggans about the story from the start. Looking at how bad the lore from GW1 was, I just can’t bring myself to care. After beating Abbadon in the most anticlimactic way possible (trashmooobbbbbs yay!), I wasn’t expecting them to pull off anything better for Zhaitan.

To be honest, having gotten my mind blown multiple times over TSW’s amazing plot and storytelling, I don’t think I can find any MMO’s plot interesting again anyways.

Having said that, I actually quite liked Scarlet in Queen’s Pavilion. She was presnted as this musterious character which you knew nothing about, but you felt like she had plans, big game hanging plans. You knew she was clearly insane from the way she acted, but you also felt there was a method in her madness.

…….then it just went down the Saturday morning cartoon route and pooped all over her character. Please Anet, please just rewrite her. Just pretend what happens after the Pavilion never did and for goodness sake start by not taking down her hood.

I was hoping this thread would be full of people who actually like Scarlet explaining why they think she is a good character. But alas… not many of them around.

In the whole equation of things I come to kill X mobs (that can be replaced by any mob really), the community & scenery, hopefully not a lot of bugs & some decent rewards for my time/money contributions.
They can replace Scarlet with Mr Pickle Head heheh I will be honest I have 7200+ achieves & have ZERO clue, nor has anything in the game thus far piqued my interest to learn, what this “story” is all about. Others love to keep up with it. I’ve never been a “groupy type” so outside learning tips on how to kill or defend against the nxt x y z mob, my limited brain capacity has no use for explanations on why this mob or that wants to own some pixel parcel of land or object. To me it’s just a bow on the box~~pretty barbie doll fluff, nothing more.
That said the type of content they add as illustration every 2 weeks is beginning to be a pain. Makes everything a rush job & takes players out of the loop of various content as they focus on racing to be the first to get this latest picture painted on their achieves. Wish they would do it every 3 weeks+ at least. Really tired of dealing with the new bugs & glitches that roll in with this on a REGULAR basis & content interruptions.
Guess that means yes, I am tired of the story lol.

I like Scarlet, and I don’t feel like I need to go on a big huge rant to convince others that they should share my opinion. The fact that she is the most talked about villain in Guild Wars 2 yet means improvement for the writers. The reason why you don’t see “I like scarlet” posts is because these people are off enjoying the game or really don’t have an opinion either way.

Most of the Scarlet hate posts here are perpetrated by maybe a few hundred players out of many thousands that want to impose their opinion on other players and convince Anet…. to do what exactly? Just up and remove her from lore?

I don’t suspect everyone is going to enjoy every one of their ideas. If you really don’t like it to the point it makes you rage, I would suggest a break until it changes. The actual game content is still plenty enjoyable for me and my guild of different opinions.

It’s not that hard to make a talked about villain.

You just need to make a kitten character. Or someone who does incredibly cruel things without no reason.

Or… well, just make a REALLY dumb villain. Then people will talk about it. Talked about is not an improvement.

Unless they actually want to do a story that is like a Z-Movie. That might be fun, but then the writers are off-target.

You will never be able to know what an engineer is going to do next…

because he doesn’t know it himself
