While sad, that is less tragic than the Captain’s Airship Pass. Any young Quaggan discovered logging in there is summarily hurled over the side and has to endure an entire extra loading screen as he falls to his death.

That is the saddest screenshot I’ve ever seen.

Hell yeah! Death to all quaggans! Someone give that guard a raise.

Oh now! Come one, quaggans are great!

And no, I don’t mean they’re great because they taste just like chicken.

No, no, no, I truly <3 Quaggans. I really think they’re adorable and I wouldn’t harm a hair on their… a scale on their… a…. something something.

I just had to toss that in because it made me smile. But I’d defend the Quaggans with my very life!

To be fair, there are some habitually unscrupulous Quaggans that make it their business to intrude where they are not permitted. For them, the afterlife holds a special Hell:

Just ask the Krait, most players don’t seem to realize the Quaggan were in the deeper parts of the ocean than the Krait, the Krait always remained nearer the shore to raid the surface. Which means that when the deep sea dragon attacked and the quaggans ran away, they were basically moving in to and squatting on krait land, er water. The krait are perfectly upstanding citizens just dealing with a bunch of trespassers.

I should have known! Those dastardly Quaggans with their… adorably cute… I can’t. Omg… Quaggans. <3

(See, this is why Quaggans will never be wiped out. They are just too adorable.)

I know you were making a joke, but I’m just gonna chime in on srsbsn here:

Actually, lore explains that the krait were in the deepest parts of the ocean – though they were widespread enough to raid the shore, their main civilization was in the parts where you couldn’t get deeper.

And the DSD was sleeping in the deepest parts of the sea (which sea? Well, not the Sea of Sorrows and the only other sea we know of is the Clashing Sea, or I suppose Janthir Bay but the quaggans fled north-ish).

The quaggans were pushed north by the krait, who were fleeing from further south than them. The quaggan were closer to the surface than the krait.

Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

I would love to be able to kill Quaggan. The only race I would prefer to kill over Quaggan would be Asura… Maybe if there were to be Quaggan, who ate Asura whole… then I could get a two-fer…

I think there is an NPC somewhere who talks about the taste of quaggans, but I don’t recall who, where, or what he said about how they taste. Have a vague feeling it’s a male charr, though, which narrows it down… a little. :o.

Can’t get on right now to double-check, but I think it was the charr pirate sub-boss on Jetsam Isle.

That rings a bell loud enough that I think you’re right. Although I’m pretty sure it’s someone you can actually bring a dialogue screen up with, that might be after the surrender.

To those who think Scarlet hate means she’s succeeded as a villain:
People don’t hate Scarlet like Game of Thrones fans hate Joffrey.
They hate her the way Star Wars fans hate Jar Jar Binks.

Oh, on topic…

Dr. Strange — I’m going to ask about the mechanics. There might be a reason for this, but I’m just not sure. (If someone else comes up with a likely explanation, please feel free to post! Otherwise, I’ll see if I can find out why it’s working as it does, and if it is working as intended.)

We never heard anything back on this, Gaile…

Were you able to find out last week if there’s a technical reason that characters returning to the Terrace and the Airship need to be kicked out if they logged out from there? It can be a real annoyance.

Thanks for looking into the female human idle animations, Gaile! Any yet word on whether or not they’re likely to fix the Terrace and the Airship so you aren’t kicked out if you log in there?

Oh snap, I actually got a response from ArenaNet, particularly the famed Gaile Gray! Hi Gaile! We used to chat in GW1 with your froggy friend, back in the good old days. I doubt you remember me, since there were usually hundreds of other players spamming the chat, but we had our moments that I remember

Anyway, I do have my reasons for disliking Quaggans. Mainly it’s because they have not provided any real benefit to the game that I am aware of. All I have seen them provide is the cult following they have wrought (aka the people in this thread that love quaggans and say that people need a quaggan hug).

I get it, some of you guy think they are cute or whatever (I disagree, and think Skritt are much more adorable), but their slowed speech, their lack of any real combat prowess, the tones of their voices, and the fact that they rely on others to elevate them (I’m looking at you Suwash! You bring great discredit to that kid in Elona that I ‘rescued’, only to find that he joined the corsairs by choice). “Please beat up those pirates so that quaggan can be pirate.” They’re a parasite, is what they are. I, the player, should have become the leader of those pirates, not you! I did all the work! You just stood there all pathetic like QQ-ing about how ‘mean’ they were to you.

Then, when they get sick and I try to help them by defending the priests trying to cure them, they turn hostile and attack me and kill the priests. Bite the hand that feeds you, and you get a 20k eviscerate to the face!

Seriously, to hell with quaggans. Skritt at least have funny dialog and can actually grow in intelligence. Quaggans just never get better (unless they get buffed by Jormag’s corruption, then they actually do damage).

I take great pleasure in every quaggan I kill.

Give us more GW 1 weapon and armor skins, please. COPY/PASTE ALREADY!!!!

Some time ago a bunch of guildies and I decided that we would do a special guild event after a successful bounty. We all transformed into quaggans and did a tour of Fireheart Rise. Every player we saw we would rush to them and ask them to save quaggan. We then made our way to COF and convinced the mighty heroes gathered there to protect us fron the flame legion who had arrived and were seeking to cook us. Having defeated the malevolent charr we settled down and sought to spread the word of quaggan.
