Guild Wars 2

Not saying that its a bad thing, I am saying its a thing we as players can’t do. Why does Rytlock get to do this?

Loads of people want to change professions on the main toon but can’t. Does this mean that maybe in HoT we will finally get this feature? Discuss!

And what was his profession before?

HoT will have sub-classes, not profession changing (That is a major feature so it would be already announced). Rytlock also could wield a pistol when he was a warrior.

Is someone feeling envious of pixels and code?

Nokaru.7831:

Warrior

wrong. Rytlock was a Rytlock.

he can wield sword/pistol and heavy armor at the same time.

(this comment isn’t meant to be taken seriously)

Why can Rytlock change classes? Because he’s a special hero. If new classes come out, I’m sure someone will come along having it, perhaps as a change.

Will a character ever change base classes? Unlikely. For one thing, the progression from 1-80 is all about learning how to use that class. If we’re allowed to change classes, not only is there a chance we’d be equipped with the wrong armor or weapons, we’d have to adapt to completely different mechanics. Specialization is different, as I don’t think everything will change, but add a bit more like new weapons and skills.

Keiran Thackeray did it in Guild Wars 1. I don’t see how just because NPCs can do certain things means the players should be able to. Many NPCs in Guild Wars 1 carried two or more elites skills, but we the players were limited to one.

Yes, I was wondering if someone else would pick up on this. If Rytlock could change profession completely, does that mean that profession switching is a new feature in HoT?

I’m also guessing that Dragoon/Musketeer or something similar is going to be the Warrior specialisation, who specialises in Rifles/Pistols and other firearms while still wearing heavy armor.

Zaxares.5419:

No. I highly, highly doubt it.

This happened in GW1 too. Keiran Thackeray started out as a Ranger and became a Paragon through story events. It was never offered as an option for PCs even so.

I think it’s an example of gameplay/story segregation and doesn’t indicate a new mechanic for player characters.

And the Inquest eles can use pistols. Doesn’t bother me much.

You can change profession too! And in almost exactly same way as Rytlock did!

Tutorial:

1. Enter the Heart of the Mists (yea mysts are mandatory for Rytlock as well as you)
2. Band with other heroes and fight for your destiny against others like you to earn 80 Tomes of Knowledge
3. Leave mysts and store Tomes in your bank
4. Commit ingame suicide… for example jump from the statue of Dwayna in Divinity’s Reach
5. Log out
6. Delete your undesired character and make the exact visual copy of it with same nickname but different profession
7. Log in with your new-old heroe and find nearest bank
8. Take all 80 Tomes of knowledge and click on them like a mad man for a while
9. :) enjoy

Didn’t anyone ever tell you, OP? NPC’s are the real player characters in these games.

You’re an uncredited mook in the background art on the cover. You exist to be fodder to make other NPC’s look cool.

Bet you thought you were a real person. Trololol, silly players, Cool Factor is for narrative NPC’s only.

I’m a necromancer, why can’t I summon 5 flesh golems or a bridge made out of bone?!?!?!?!

You can change profession if you’re at least as kitten as Rytlock

I imagine that there will be a brand new tutorial for each race with new questions during character creation and a whole new Personal Story for characters made after HoT release to go with the whole living story

Because we’re players. This is us —

And this is the likes of any named, narrative-relevant NPC —

Reason: I dunno man, but HoT is the first thing coming from any direction that makes me think we might be upgraded to something like this, at least.

Actually the “hidden pistol” is a charr race skill. ;-)

it’s not “hidden” if he’s holding it all the time.

Yeah, Rytlock is a Rytlock, he has whatever abilities they want him to have. If they want him to dual wield canoes while dressed in only a “kiss the cook” apron then he can dual wield canoes while dressed in only a “kiss the cook” apron, doesn’t mean player characters can.

Rytlock is all powerful. You’re not!

:D

Profession Change gemstore item confirmed!

Just kidding. Would be nice though…

The player characters of GW2 are probably some of the least powerful heroes in RPG history, really.

Well the closest in game comparison is warrior :P
But anyway I don’t see that big of deal with Rytlock becoming a Revenant. Basically all a warrior does is hit things, now he hits things with mist powers.

I heard Rytlock always has full adrenaline, initiative, life force, and his virtues are never on CD.

Yeah? What about team B? All they do is stand around while you kill the bosses single handedly.

He must’ve been tutored by Razah.

I hope so. I’m going to be pretty disappointed if I have to choose between the same character customization options as before, instead of getting new ones.

Having Rytock’s class set in stone now might actually be a step down in power for him.

Totally agree with you.
I bet Razah was a big part of his training.

Tom Gore.4035:

explains why his sword is always on fire :P

Rytlock once tried solo Lupicus but he found only empty room and reward chest full of precursors.

rytlock is the chuck norris of tyria

Keiran Thackeray did it first.

I’m just gonna leave my thought here:
At least it was Rytlock who got the new class, if I had to ‘learn’ a new class from the coward cough Logan cough I wouldn’t be able to stomach it.

How was it implied we would learn from Rytlock?

Warcry.1596:

~Snip~
Many NPCs in Guild Wars 1 carried two or more elites skills, but we the players were limited to one.

Technically you’re correct, but a PC could equip up to 3 Elites at once while Capping, until it was fixed at some point down the line…I think it was fixed, but that’s GW1 and this is GW2. Rytlock’s a member of DE, they’re unique.

we are not getting a feature like that, i’m saying this just like when my friend tells me i’m imagining stuff in my head again when i tell him i suspect him for messing with another woman…
so, no.

and no again it’s not unfair… look each one of us is already a special little snowflake just enough
yes each one of us never get enough attention this is true.
but we are special by what life has given/taken (mostly given in-factz) for/from us so far.
there are no dublicates…
let’s be happy with that, and ponder the actually relevant things. like, how to avoid hunger spreading (population rising = restricting this, and in theory this can be done moderately peacefully if only explanation precise enough is given in public – nobody likes lies and secrecy, really.) and how to avoid wars… wich is kind of hard because you know these conspiracy theories how war makes money – yet it’s true so it can’t be ignored.

no wait – why some inviduals actually need 10 villas of wich they use about 2-3, collection of cars or whatever else you really don’t need?
they do this to feel special?
do they feel special then? in their hearts… no. maybe some do though. but i dont really think so. and they make war. hmm. what’s their problem seriously???

also, we need more serious and emphatic psychologists in our world.

so…
nobody really needs to slam a goal to be “special”. or something like that…
“hey this guy gets that. unfair. i deserve it as well.”
okay. why do you deserve this?

you make your own living so painful by assuring that other people are someway better than you. just like… rytlock. i’m just jealous to him for being a game character that doesn’t really exist.
look.
nobody knows this, but you also have something other people don’t. it’s your nature that has been in you since birth. the way you act, and understand, plus many other ways of measuring it. everyone has it different.

so just chill as long as you have a roof above your head, a computer to play gw2, food to eat and in best cases work to do… but even roof and food is really good.

i want that hamburger meal with bbq sauce, french fries and coke. surprise, it’s not a superspecial disgusting half-raw steak from 100 dollar restaurant made by “top-cook”… cause hamburger meal is good enough. thing is, nearest hamburger restaurant is like 40 kilometres away and it’s closed for night. heh. also i’m not very rich to buy that meal every day.
so that meal isn’t special, but i know really the moment i eat it, that moment is very special to me. drools yet it isn’t necessary unless you’ve got nothing else to eat for hunger.

good night (hey mod, i guess youre gonna delete this so just in case i hope you had good time reading. ive never been very good at forums… it’s because i’m so wild. ive been banned from another forum 2 times as well for misbehaviour. but i would say some people dont want to read pieces of truth. and i always somehow manage to connect one subject to another, while other people see it as completely different matter because i haven’t explained it precisely enough. i just dont know, is there such a forum where without a care you can write anything you get ideas about… but still a place without spam. anyway good night)

I think you are holding back…..tell us how you really feel.

Gummy.4278:

I refer you sir, to the Home Page of this very site, where the advertisement for HoT has Rytlock proudly splashed across it with Revenant armor.

Gummy.4278:

How was it implied we would learn from Rytlock?

If you mean the collective “we” then it wasn’t implied, it was outright stated during PAX. If you are referring to the individual, well Rytlock will have taught his first students then I’m sure they would continue teaching others, so in a sense he still is teaching each of us who are Revenants.

Good! then I want him to train a Sylvari, a dragon minion Sylvari.

Gummy.4278:

I think you are holding back…..tell us how you really feel.

i feel that i have to repair a certain relationship or seal it by meeting face-to-face a certain person. but this will be difficult. he already loathes me so much.

but im lucky, i have a very good friend… expect that he lives few hours away… but next time i visit him we are going to sauna. and i will drink, after such a long time. its good to drink sometimes. i will drink hot crogs. he wont drink because he knows it will make him waste money, and he really cant afford many extras.
he usually makes me happy.
but its stupid that he repeats how old he is that he cant do something. like fix his posture. he looks like a snail when he sits.
that aside, never a boring person. when we are together, its like two kids.

No mesmer can use 1000+ clones like Kasmeer or 3+ time warps at the same time like Kasmeer.

Its life.

I think Rytlock’s player deleted him and re-rolled using the name again.

Rytlock uses a pistol in CoE Story Mode. Rytlock does whatever he wants.

You also forgot that she could also make teleporters to areas from long range. Then again, Kasmeer is in this Mesmer Collective group. She probably got special training from them.
