Guild Wars 2

Why not just destroy the air filters so we can’t get in? Or do they not care at all? Maybe they’re really bored and want us to get in…meh.

Meanwhile, we are equally stupid. Why not just inject the antitoxin into the conveniently placed roots around kessex hills? The amazing power of Capillary Action™ would carry the antitoxin to the heart of the tower for us.

That could work, if the tree’s physiology is enough like a regular tree. Still, injecting it directly into the heart directly probably works faster.

Besides, that makes the NPCs stupid, not us. They’re the ones who came up with the plan. :P

Yep, the poison air was just a stupid “you can’t go there yet” mechanic, but Anet could have spent at least more than half a minute designing the workaround. Like, at least make it so the filter purifies the entire area for a couple weeks instead of one that temporarily cleanses a radius of 2 feet. At least that would have a lasting impact if destroyed (which it logically should be). Or, at the very least station some vigil around the current one to protect it.

Or just make the gas mask an actual plot device instead of a useless achievement award.

Would of been nice if the gas mask actually was one and cleared up our air so we could be immune to toxic pollen. But at least it looks kick kitten on a engineer

I have another question. Suppose my character is a huge three-meter norn with a 100 pound giant sword, I can carry stones more than my weight and punch out a giant dragon teeth. Why can’t I just break legs to Scarlett when she imposingly defile out of me to the portal?

would be cool if the air filters damaged the TA.. or possibly fear etc.. that would make it semi-believable.
