Guild Wars 2

I miss the Sylvari forum section.

No one is talking about them anymore…

They will tomorrow.

Garambola.2461:

Probably true.

Rather then talking the talk i’m walking the walk an leveling my sylvari:> They have hands down best male faces and hair:> And i love their starter zone:>

Agreed! They have the largest armor diversity too, work with ANYTHING.

Just sad that, you know… Scarlet made the race more unbearable.

A year later and I still do not agree.

Scarlet was a character I liked… I want more.

To be honest, I would have liked her more if she somehow got corrupted by Mordremoth before she went out being all smart and aced every Asura test. Like, it was actually Mordremoth him/her/itself that WAS Scarlet, showing the knowledge of the Elder Dragons, and helped him/her/itself to wake up faster.

But no, the story was going on lame tracks instead.

First there was Trahearne the Mary Sue’s personal story…

Then there was Scarlet “Plot Device armed with Infinite Unobtanium” Briar…

What next?

I feel like the only one in the world who likes Trahearne >.<

Sylvari remind of GW2 version of elves. Elves are ussually forest dwellers who love sticks and twigs and stuff where as the Sylvari love sticks and twigs and stuff SOOOO MUCH they are actually made of them.

EXTREME ELVES!

I miss all the racial forums. And the black lion forum. I don’t really understand why so many things had to be removed in leiu of the forum “rearranging”, especially when all the old stuff is still there in the archive, so its not like they’re even clearing up space.

Wasn’t the reason given was the loading time to open the various sub forums? It was too much iirc so they smashed them into one.

It’s a blatant attempt to suppress the master race that is the Sylvari!

We are tired of being lauged at by others, and peed on by those filthy Charr. We shall have ours.

You forgot Canach the Forgettable and the Southsun Debacle. And tomorrow, we continue with Faolin and Caithe’s Dysfunctional Relationship Hour.
(Literally, an hour, most likely. The content won’t be that long. =P)

Which would make the Nightmare Court equivalent of Drow.

Please don’t make me hate the Sylvari any more. I wanted to like them for their refreshing outlook on life.

Well, no, because Drow are an entirely different race from other elves in most settings. The Nightmare Court are still Sylvari, they just have a different philosophy.

Gizmo.9178:

I like Trahearne, but I dislike the entire concept of being a supporting actor in my personal story

Gizmo.9178:

I love Trahearne.

And Scarlet.

And I miss the sylvari forum. :/

Gizmo.9178:

SISTER! Me too, me too! He’s like the bottle of Jägermeister.

I thought Trahearne was decent, I didn’t actually notice much of his “taking my glory omg” or anything silly like that, that people blame him for.

People said his voice acting was stale and lame, but I kind of liked it, just because of the stale way he is. He got this big purpose but he’s got a hard time to express it or something.

That’s kind of how I imagined Sylvari to be, being such a young race, born into ‘’adults.’’

Except turning to the nightmare court does seem to invoke some metaphysical difference. But yes, the analogy, like all analogies, falls apart somewhere. =P

Reason people dislike Trahearne is because he just suddenly appears in the lesser races personal stories whereas for sylvari master race he’s there from pretty much the start.

Also some of the dislike towards living stories have probably been because of their focus on sylvari characters.

PS: We could start using this thread as a general sylvari discussion thread.

Actually, it’d probably be more offensive to other Sylvari.
“Oh, hello again, Trehearne! So glad to be working with you again in as a part of [my order].”

T: “Hello. I am Trehearne, a scholar of Orr and necromancy.”

“I.. know that already. Remember, I got you the awesome sword Caladbolg as a part of my calling from my Dream? You.. don’t remember that, do you?”

T: “This won’t end well.”

Also some of the dislike towards living stories have probably been because of their focus on terribly written Sylvari characters.

Fixed.

While I find the lack of involvement by other races to be an irritant, I can definitely feel foreshadowing in the heavy influence of Sylvari because of Mordremoth. There’s a lot of potential in it, but I’m not sure I trust the writing staff to do it well. :\

I’d love to see Trehearne grow as a character, but he’ll likely remain a stale figurehead of the Pact.
Canach can do so much more than be some chaotic evil, mustache-twirling eco-terrorist. Instead, he seems more likely to betray Anise and laugh maniacally.
Scarlet… sigh. I’ll admit to liking her at first. But, she was just too g’dang Mary Sue for contrived plot purposes. A weedy Joker with less personality.
Caithe, even in with Destiny’s Edge, is limp and melancholy, so seemingly put out by doing good for good’s sake that she may as well just flop Nightmare and get it over with.
Faolin’s descent into evil took, almost literally, three lines of dialog to explain. Her fall should have been stretched out much more, but instead, we see her as an already psychotic personality with no redeeming qualities at all (or any reason for Caithe to love her).
