Guild Wars 2

Hey… Scarlet looks much nicer on artworks. Pretty cute. But in the game she is scary as a nuclear war. Maybe that’s why people don’t like her? =D Perhaps devs should remake her model in game?

The problem is that she neither seems authorities nor menacing. Harley Quinn is pretty cute but there’s a reason why she’s a sidekick to the Joker.

If you replaced her with Faolain, they story would be much more believable.

Also I want Scarlet’s hairstyle for my Sylvari!

She does look cute here: https://d3b4yo2b5lbfy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/wallpapers/4b88511-12_tNW-1920x1200.jpg

but in game she seems like they took a bigjaw male sylvary model and added a wig

Concept art tends to look better than in game models.

What is that creature behind her?

In the expansion Nightfall, didn’t some of the monsters sent by Abbadon have 6 red eyes? Maybe this is leading up to an expansion of the map into Elona.

No its not Abbadon, that theory has been going around for multiple threads.
Chances are it is a Toxic Husk super powered or something along those lines.
Abbadon has been dead since Kormir took over.

It’s hard to say if he truly died. We don’t really know what happens to gods when they ‘die’. Kormir absorbed his essence and became ‘Abbadon, but different’. Could Abbadon’s subdued conscience bestill alive inside her, and used her as a new vessel?

She is human afterall, and gods are beyond the control of humans.

Her 3d model is probably based on the other concept art, but it still look too ugly :S

To be honest I prefer the old Sylvari design to the revamped one. The revamp looks more unique but lets be honest, the Sylvari is by far the most ugly race in Tyria.

Lets be honest, Sylvari are the best, only thing they are missing is different body types, even the most “buffed” males look like 13 year old kids

I like her ugly. I assumed it was on purpose to make her more interesting/unique.
That is a cool artwork pic though.

If they tried to make her ugly, i would have been better imo to go the full way. Make half her face withered for example.

I have never seen her.

Don’t get me wrong, I have been near her many times… but the particle effects and a zerg makes it so that I am only able to see her nameplate above the mess.

They look far too human for me. I would have preferred if they were more inhuman instead of looking just like people with salad stapled on. It’s the “star trek alien” effect when you really don’t need to do that in a video game.

I thought Sylvari were going to be like Guild wars version of Elves. Then it looks like they went that route at first then changed it to making them plant people and still keeping the Elven type of ground roots with the being in-tune with nature and the forest and all that jazz. Scarlet actually looks scary, the concept art makes her look subtle. She is a fun villain though.

Well the name “Sylvari” comes from the latin root “silva” meaning “forest” or “woods”. So it would make sense that they would resemble plants. It connects better with their name.

My name is “Ram”, so does that make me a Ram used to knock doors open? or some kind of animal?

Both.

Scarlet would be SO very attractive laying on the ground with a ONE TIME USE ‘Finish her’ Icon to her right. IMO its the ONLY accessory that will make her any more appealing. She’d be lovely permanently deceased! <3

They didn’t “change” them to be plant people, they were supposed to be plant people from the start. They just made the idea look much more realistic with the redesign to make it more believable that they’re actually born from trees and not just people with green skin.
