Guild Wars 2

Changing how NPC’s talk to you and having minor benefits of each type of personality and or personality derived PVE content to make playing each new character different especially if you decided to take same race and class is a good feature.

Wiki says seams to be removed but can’t find with search or in release notes that it actually been removed or is it ust hidden in background?

It appears that the system is still there, but hidden. Given that it didn’t actually DO anything (that was to come later), by hiding it they’ve effectively removed it.

Great, another thread on this, and another case of someone saying it did nothing…

In a few select dialogues in personal story, certain personalities give you extra options (at least in one case allowing you to kill an NPC you otherwise couldn’t). Don’t know if it does that anymore, though.

As a search on the term Personality did not find anything posted this one.

April 15th patch removed it (or hid it). Also you’ll note that “ferocity” was used in the personality system, which could be a reason why it’s hid… so as not to be confusing. Ferocity is the new armour/weapon term for Critical Damage.

The personality system could have gone SO much further than it did, but Anet didn’t run with it.

I find the search function on this forum doesn’t find ANYTHING! Seriously, type in “mounts” and it’ll come back with “no results found.” It’s maddening.

Search function on these forums has been broken for well over a year. No attempt has been made to correct it.

Yes, the search function is still broken, I blame you not for not finding anything with it… But, this topic has popped up daily for a while now, so I’m sure you understand.

It did? Wow, I did not know that.

I stand corrected, then. It did ALMOST nothing, but at least it worked when it did do something.

They never expanded on the Personality system. It was just useless after launch.

Some of us liked to keep certain personality balanced on certain characters. It added flair.

I’m sad that my main’s profile no longer says “Diplomate”. Or my boyfriend’s main is no longer a “Scoundrel”.

Yep it was useful for color at least. And it does change some NPC relationships. It would be better if they went even more into it on questing to make questing more repeatable.

My Charr’s were quite rightly, Militant… and my sylvari necro was Unpredictable. And yes it did add some colour to the characters you were using.

What ratio gave you “Scoundrel”? 50% Charm, 50% Ferocious?

I miss this system too. I liked keeping my Human Noble Mesmer a Diplomat, or my Sylvari Dawn Necro being Captivating.
