Guild Wars 2

Agree 100%, this is some poetic stuff

scarlet’s dialogue is written for 3yr olds. die die die, tic, tic… so lame.

This.
So much this.
The dialogue about latrines in LA has more going for it then any line I’ve ever seen from her. Not to mention the stupid LUL SOO RAMDUM way she acts.

You know what, I agree.

I personally really like Scarlet and think her villain personality is very enjoyable. She’s an antagonist, she’s a quirky pest. I personally find that pretty cool, but it’s completely true that she (or anet) portraits herself with no depth of character at all.

Despite having that super deep background about knowing the world too well she acts like a 5 year old. I don’t mind the fact she’s a maniac, a wild card, half insane and all that junk, but she acts like she’s crazy for the sake of being crazy.

You don’t have to be super serious to be deep and meaningful, the Joker for example is portrait as an insane crazy lunatic, yet he has so much depth. All of which is shown with how he acts and what he does, instead of it being written somewhere completely removed from the character.

That isn’t the best dialogue ever taken out, this is; CITIZENS-coming soon, the newest and most unique resort destination in all of Tyria! Brought to you by the Consortium!

But GW2 is a ever changing game and NPCs will be added in just as they can be taken out, whether we like it or not.

I’d like to first point out that Scarlet’s dialog is a mix of childish taunts and academic whit. You’ll see in the new dungeon that there’s a lot of it mashed together in her security holograms throughout the new Explorable path (instead of waiting, you could just watch the Dev play-through to see).

As for the best dialog in the game, that is clearly Captain Penzan :…

I am the very model of a modern pirate general,
I’ve information magical, mathematical and mineral.
I know the Queens of Kryta and can cite matters historical,
From Bloodstones to the dragon spawn in order categorical.
In fact, I write my washing bills in old Canthan cuneiform.
I’ll tell you every detail sewn on Caudecus’s uniform.
The skills and builds of warfare are essential to my strategy,
You’ll say a better pirate general has never sat-a-gee,
For when you know the habits of the Charr and the Elonians
When you can tell at sight a Kurzick from an Ascalonian,
You’ll know my martial knowledge, quite extensive and still myriad,
Myriad…myriad…myriad…ah!
Has only been updated for the Interregnum period!
But still in matters magical, mathematical, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern pirate general!

P.S. Those that are saying that Scarlett sounds like a 3yr old or 5yr old, I must say this: Maybe she is that old. As a Sylvari, she’s guaranteed to be no older than the age of 25 (First Borns). So, she could be just as young as 5yrs old.

Yes to this!

Yes to this so hard, just the other day I took my time to stick around and listen to his song.

+1 for subdirector Blingg

CITIZENS!!!

The problem is that themajority of gw2 players arent interested in dialogie, music or emotions.

They care about mindless zerging and getting loot >__<.

TA F/U removed?! So instead of fixing some good content, they remove it and replace it with Scarlet – essentially the worst game content? :O

Anet, you’ve been disappointing us for some time now, but this…

Wait … did I miss something? I tought “an additional new path” is coming

The game is the cause of that, not the players. Take for an example the costume parties we had in GW1. The player run holidays, those were awesome. There was a great sense of community there, one that is lacking in GW2. I think that’s just a product of the game though. This game is all about horizontal progression, it’s a gear driven game. Therefore the players will care about gear. In games that aren’t, like GW1, aesthetics are far more important. Once you have the stats, and you are going just for looks, then naturally the environment becomes more important. It’s no longer about numbers, but about how you want your character to look. Is my guy going to be some hardcore Ascalonian knight, or maybe he’s survived in the desert alone for years, etc.

The skills are another example of that. You never really feel like your character is super important in GW2. They are so limited compared to 1. There I never really felt like I had to have alts, I could use my main for almost anything. I wanted to run around with a pet, done. I want to be a elemental warrior, done. I could do it all with my main character, so I felt connected to him. I wanted to have different looks for different things. Anyway just my opinion.

I still wish story dungeons would scale to solo, or duo, so that people that wanted to could take the time to enjoy the story there. The first times I did any of those dungeons I got constantly rushed. It ruined them for me.

Humbug! Utter hogwash I say! GW2 is all about the looks. Getting your avatar outfitted with exotics is easy as hell, collecting certain skins isn’t.

Games like Diablo 3, WoW etc are utterly about the stats. GW2 certainly isn’t, not by a mile.

Dunno..I think Scarlet’s insanity and simplicity is a nice change from the poetic stuff. Love the lore, but you need variety. If it’s all trying to be shakespear with nothing to balance it out, everything suffers for it.
