Q:

So, since Rytlock is the first Revenant, and he went to the mists roughly 2 years after the original Personal Story, how will they be able to play the Personal Story? Perhaps it is planned that they simply won’t be able to play the original Personal Story, but I’m curious. If this is the case, then technically they wouldn’t be able to be referred to as “Commander”

It’s better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

I suppose Rytlock technically could have emerged from the Mists years before he went into the Mists and as such the profession existed before it was created. ^^

Don’t forget, it’s a new class, not race

Yes, but it is a class that technically didn’t exist until 2 years (of game time) after the events of the original Personal Story.

Professions never had any real impact on story progression whatsoever, but like lordkrall pointed out if ANet wanted to they could weasel an explanation in for it.

When dealing with the mists everything is possible.

shrug I mean, there was the whole PS debacle when Lion’s Arch was exploding and you could just go in there and play the PS steps and the NPCs wouldn’t give a flying skritt that there was a giant drill in the air and everything was on fire.

Then there was the whole reorganization of the level 70+ PS steps will completely borks the chronological order of how some things are supposed to occur. For instance, your character knows and can interact with Sayeh al’Rajihd before you actually encounter her in the new PS setup, and then later Trehearne is like, “hey, let me introduce you to this largos I know”.

Honestly, as far as lore inconsistencies go, revenants not making sense for the PS is rather minor compared to some of the stuff that has been perpetrated.

Yay for time traveling paradoxes…

May well start referring to him as the doctor.

On gw2 wiki it’s said that revenant can wield sword, so just my question: just mainhanded or (hopefully) dualwield roo?

I’m okay with them adding a new class since Rytlock actually goes into the mists to get his sword during Dragon’s Reach, Part 1 so yes there is enough time for it (no time travel necessary). I would just like to see a fix to the personal story after level 70 as it’s broken with my personal choice being a no show whatsoever.

I find cannot imagine the revenant going through the base campaine at queensdale. There is no class like it. No destiny’s edge member has it at the start. It just feels wrong as of right now, and full of holes. As someone mentioned above, full of Time Paradoxes, that would have the potential to rip a hole in the space time continuum, resulting in the unthinkable and cataclysmic results. I suppose Ritlock and his future self could just faint. Wake up hours later, thinking it was a bad dream.

I believe Logan is a guardian, Caithe is a theif, Eir is a ranger, Zoja is a elementalist, Ritlock is a warrior. Now you want to go back in time when Ritlock was a warrior, and tell him his future? Ummm. No. Just no. OMG. No no no no no no, and no.

I would imagine that it would need a special area, or a start off a higher level then 1, with it’s own thing like Ritlock being your mentor as a Revanant or something.

Hmm…I understand that, but at the same time the personal storyline is totally flawed in terms of time. I haven’t finished mine yet, but I have played all the Living World story. When you visit The Pact library, Zaithan’s tail is there. I’ve not killed him but according to the narrative I have. It’s physically impossible to handle this.

Thats right. Maybe they added a different personal story till lvl 30 when you choose your order. But I doubt they did so much work. with cutsenes and story.
The zones can be the same tho.

Well, this is how I imagine that Revenant can do normal Personal Story:

Rytlock was in the Mists and there I bet he found friendly “ghosts” or people. They started to follow Rytlock and wanted to get back to the world. So Revenants are coming from the Mists. They are reincarnations of humans, norns, charrs, asurans and sylvaries. So when you choose first options and after that step to the game, you are reborn to the world from Mists and start your story from beginning.
