Guild Wars 2

Maybe its just me (could very well be), but I’m starting to get really annoyed with being in Bloodstone, or Ember bay and my character just randomly screaming (this isnt gw1 these arent exactly scary places) . To a lesser extent in bitterfrost remarking about svanir not being very smart (not the sharpest icicle or some derivative of that). We’re not standing in anything lethal, we’ve killed dragons, giant beasts, elementals, so why are we randomly freaking out for no reason?

Bloodstone craziness. My character has pretty much stopped screaming after being cured.

I did the shadowstone quest stuff. Still happens. Unless it isnt account wide as assumed. Still have the shadowstone in my bank actually.

No idea. I haven’t really heard much screaming from any of my characters. In fact, the only one I’ve noticed screaming (once or twice) was the one I did the quest with. /shrug

Maybe something else affects it. I do do lots and lots of Rift Stabilizer Rift events. So…?

maybe the game recognizes fear in the player based on how they use their mouse

I’m still 95% sure its a bug caused by Jade Constructs. The scream is supposed to happen when you get hit by spectral agony, and I assume is meant to denote how painful getting hit with that is supposed to be. Since its scripted to happen the first time your character encounters a Jade Construct in the story (which is in the story instance at the bottom of Bloodstone Fen with Caithe), and then is just something they added to the world encounters for flavor.

For some reason its bugged to happen map-wide when a Jade activates its agony skill, so you’ll often hear your characters screaming for “no reason” if a Jade is currently active, no matter where you are.

I’m not sure about that^. My character screamed in the Starter Zones, and Cities, and I’m pretty sure there are no Jade Constructs there.

Clearly all the fighting of dragon minions has finally caused our characters to crack. We’ve all gone insane!
