Guild Wars 2

I know there was a talk like a pirate day in GW1 but I was wondering if they will implement that in this years patch. They really should because look at LA they are all pirates.

So the pirates would start talking like pirates?

…well that was implemented quickly.

I miss the talk like a pirate event.

I just wanted the Pirate runes to actually make you say “Yarr” as it said in the rune description bonus:

• 5% chance to shout Yarr and grant Might to nearby allies when hit. (cooldown: 10s)

Instead, character just shouts “For great justice”.

I’d love a pirate-themed special thing for the day. It’s always tickled me that they picked Sept 19 as Talk Like a Pirate Day. I recall they did so fairly at random a few years after I got married — and it’s my wedding anniversary (21 years this year, woo!). So there’s always an extra touch of fun on our special day.

Post that in the bug section! It must be fixed.

Just get out your pirate Quaggan Peggellegg. xD

I always liked Pirate day, its a fun little thing. Maybe one year they’ll do something special for it. Considering Pirates are a pretty big thing in GW2 I’d say they could think of something. :P

Dragonfest was a total bust and had nothing to do with cantha at all.
This game is pretty much just “guild wars” in name only. They’ve destroyed lore of previous games, turned their back on the fanbase that made them so popular in the first place, and have lied to us again and again.
What makes any of you think we’ll get even a remnant of the original game present in this one?

Talk like a Pirate Day was something popular IRL back then, and doesn’t have much cultural meaning in the present day. I don’t think it’s coming back. I’m pretty sure other pop culture memes will be implemented some day.

But honestly … it was never a GW1 thing. It was pop culture and they rolled with it.

Exactly. GW2 has a lot of references to pop culture already; references that are somehow relevant and that most people will get. Talk like a pirate day is not so popular anymore.

It is fun, though. It reminds me of Sid Meier’s Pirates. Setting the date on your computer to September 19 would make every single character in the game talk like a pirate, even the governors and their daughters. It amused my younger self.

They should make, talk like a Quaggan day
