In the reactor,

Please keep in mind that not everything in fractal of the mists is a factual occurrence, a record in history that can be relived, etc (notice the structural differences between the Thaumanova Reactor in tyria and the supposed version in the mists, this is also supported by the fact that the Ascalon Fractal is not entirely in line with the battle between the humans and the charr that we experienced during the prophecies campaign in GW1).

For the most part it can be an alternate scenario of “what if Scarlet was there” and not an actual statement that she had something to do with the meltdown.

yes.. that’s it… that’s what I will tell myself when I go to bed.. 2013 I want to belieeeeeve.

I don’t think people care whether it’s reality or an alternate scenario or a dream or whatever: At this point, people are sick of seeing Scarlet anywhere, independent of whether the story makes sense or not.

Albeit a tad shoehorned, her appearance in the Reactor makes sense and does well to further the plot. That’s not the problem. The problem is that people are just sick of seeing her.

First of all you need to realize that nobody likes Scarlet because she’s poorly written, annoying, and doesn’t make sense in the established story.

Secondly, the battle for Ascalon you see in that fractal isn’t the Searing, it’s the siege of Ascalon that happened right before the Foefire. The disturbance at the end that requires you to be extracted to safety is the Foefire itself.

Off topic: ^ What happens if we weren’t successfully extracted, are we transformed into ghosts ourselves and forever forced to stay in there? or does what happen remain in the fractal only, meaning no real significant damage? Would the Foefire being in the fractal slice of time not affect beings from another realm (us) ? Would Dessa still be able to extract ghosts, if we became ghosts? lol!

Hello my good man.

I am well aware of the reason as to why nobody likes scarlet because I share the exact same point of view, hence my last sentence.

Second if it were the seige of ascalon right before the foe fire, you would obviously see some form of crystal energy from the surrounding meteors from the Searing cauldron spell based on the close proximity to the wall of ascalon..

It is more likely that this fractal is the attack on Drascir (ascalon’s original capitol), not ascalon city. The other probable location is Rin which was again, ascalon’s capitol before it fell to the charr. Keep in mind this fractal is depicting a battle right after the searing, Ascalon City didn’t fall for over 2 years after the searing.

Another likely location is Surmia, which was the first city to be attacked post searing.

Turning off your audience because your plot is trite and lacks substance should never be the point.

If that was indeed the point of this character, then it would just mean that her desing is faulty at the core.

At first people want to learn more about Scarlet, and when Anet gives her more background, people whine again. Hmph.

I see a lot of problems in the writing department, but Scarlet as scapegoat doesn’t solve anything. At least she’s a character with potential, opposed to the Elder Dragons which are pretty boring villains if you ask me. Just pure evil chaos… meh. The only encounter we had with one of them was an utter disappointment.

No, many, many people do NOT want to learn more about Scarlet, they just want her gone, so…

…when Anet gives her more background, people whine again. Hmph.

I’d call it “the completely predictable outcome” ANet keeps bringing on themselves.

She is single-handedly dragging this game under. And it sounds like we have 4 more months of it locked in. So if you like Scarlet, enjoy! ((sigh))

I wonder what your basis for comparison is…”

of course it’s no option for Anet to end a story halfway. If you think that they’d kill Scarlet off now…

Doesn’t matter if they do or don’t. It matters that they stop sloppy writing in the future since they’re being called on it.

exactly, writing is the problem, not Scarlet in particular. Sloppy writing could happen with any protagonist, we’ve seen it in the personal story (later parts) already.

The same kind of writing is happening to the heroes as well. Kasmeer was suddenly a master mesmer summoned by the mesmer association to remove the veil on the tower. Prior to this she was a noble who lost her status who was somewhat naive to the ways of the world, we didn’t even know she was a mesmer. Now that a mesmer veil needed to be removed, she suddenly has that skill despite the veil in the backyard of arguable two of the most powerful mesmers in Tyria.

They are trying too hard to fit the story around Scarlet and are using lame excuses to bring in their Living Story cast to the story to the detriment of its overall quality (as is most obvious with Rox in Tequatl Rising).

Uh, no. Scarlet is a problem in particular because she is the primary example of sloppy writing. Writing so bad, that people just want the character deleted or say outright they tune out the game when she appears. Just because sloppy writing can happen doesn’t mean its an excuse. Just because I could crash any car, and have already, doesn’t mean its ok when I crash this one too. Especially when I already proved I could drive by making GW1 a fairly spectacular coherent start to finish story-line.

LOL I forgot about that. Why would they use even use Kasmeer when they could’ve used Countess Anise ? She’s right hand to the human queen, a master mesmer, the tower is in kryta, and scarlet wrecked the jubilee… lol.
