Guild Wars 2

The sheer volume of Aetherblade corpses left after every zone attack is staggering if you take a sec or two to notice, i guess a few hundred dying in each contested event point, thousands dead for each zone attack. This is horrific casualty rates. These aren’t recyclable elementals, undead or holos but civilised races. To support the armies being throw at random zones how many ‘pirates’ are there? where has this massive army been hiding and living, how have they all be recruited with no one noticing? And why is such a huge force being massacred fighting over empty areas, why no city siegies or capturing resources?

I can take MMO spawning mobs as abstract for game play as long as its fueling a event/encounter story, but the current aetherblade line is really taking the kitten for an invasion from nowhere style. More so its actually unsettling that mass slaughter is without consequence for the enemy, that they are more faceless and drone-like than orrian undead. These are sentient pirates? peoples who take for profit and avoid the law? so why are they a horde for a tyrant? This is wildly unrealistic even for a sci-fi fantasy, and with current presentation not very feasible for the story presented.

Well. There’s the obvious “Endless game mob mechanics” factor that you have to keep in mind.

But bear in mind, it wouldn’t be an invasion if there weren’t many. And whilst there would probably be questioning and mutiny and punishment and what have you, they obviously wouldn’t show it outright otherwise it’d probably be too complex to handle in some regard.

I’d say that the amount of ABs there are from a REALISTIC standpoint are the amount you kill per invasion. And becauze you kill so many, naturally Treeface backs off because her forces are severely reduced.

Clones. That is all. Good day.

Don’t they just revive at a waypoint when defeated, just like we do?

Well actually they could have an army the size of the whole population of Tyria since we dont even know if they are native to our time and world.

Steam creature were already confirmed to come from a possible future.

Well what about the Molten Alliance? How come they have just as many bodies as the Aetherblades?
I like the clone suggestion. I’m sure some Asura has already managed it. Jurassic Park expansion here we come

Between this, the gigantic size of humanoid and charr enemies, the cardboard characterizations, and the overflow disaster (oh, gee, thanks, I guess I’ll wait another HOUR), this LS is starting to wear on me pretty quickly.
