Personally, I think you are absolutely wasting our time. I (we) play for fantasy —> beasts, dead things chasing us, shiny objects that cost a lot, saving the world. Come on! Real life things happen all day. Give us content to play and use the LS to get us to it, period. Nobody actually cares that much. Give us more dungeons and paths. Give us end game content. Fantasy and relevant stuff. Stick to it and you will win.

Writers, GW2 is actually quite famous for the teen rating that it has. I’ve never played a game where so many people let their kids watch or even run around exploring the world for them (not Orr though). You don’t need content that can make people question the rating or subject matter. Stay famous, leave real world topics alone. There is so much to choose from, why walk the line and question portions of your audience? Focus on fantasy and adventure and you won’t lose anybody. Don’t set your audience up to flame each other when these topics make it to the forums or /map chat. Use the living story to get us into content, let our actions be the final scene. Too much skip button content so far. You can do better.

@Kryle, relationships are always a part of fantasy though. And you can’t JUST have straight relationships depicted, in doing so you are purposefully excluding a large portion of the population.

What Arenanet has done shouldn’t be controversial in the slightest because for a lot of people this is a daily reality and isn’t something to make a song and dance about it. Until people realise that it doesn’t matter companies NEED to be like Arenanet and not be afraid to put this in game. The more used to it people get the less of a big deal it is. In and out of game.

So, you would rather have an ultra-generic storyline if it meant more content? What’s the point of making a storyline at all, if people just want more loot? It’s like the ultimate downfall of any type of fantasy game.

Player 1: Hey! They finally added more content. An evil guy is doing evil thing. We should kill him!
Player 2: Why?
Player 1: Because he drops loot.
Player 2: No, I meant why is he evil?
Player 1: Idk. He killed some people I guess. Who cares though. Shiny!

That would kill any interest I had in the game.

@FlamingFoxx, I think my point was more along the lines of “read a book if you want a real story”. This is no ebook. Tell me about the dredge and the dragons. Get me into the story so that I know what I’m trying to save/obtain/stop/etc. Anet, give me graphics and avoid pushing ANY of you player base away.

@Erukk, I like the the little story you put together there. I want to know more about the evil character you mentioned and how I can stop him. I’m glad he drops good lootz too Your story pulled me in more than the story of the NPCs we are supposedly interested in learning about. Braham and Rox for example…I liked when they were leading us into a battle or dungeon. If they start having tea together…I"m not going to really care. I guess that is what the skip button is for.

Relationships are part of any world or compelling story. I would love for you to present me with a story that is objectively amazing that doesn’t build a relationship between it’s characters (be that platonic or romantic). Also, ebook… really…. The majority of publishing is still print based, especially concerning literature that is actually considered good. But no, this is not an ebook, this is Guild Wars and people who are invested in the world and the story are used to and really enjoy the fact that Arenanet’s writers don’t shy away from relationships. Go look at GW1, relationships are mixed in constantly with all the sword swinging. We had a content release that centred on the marriage between Gwen and Logan Thackeray.

If you don’t like the way they do story then perhaps the game isn’t for you.

@FlamingFoxx, you are absolutely correct, I’m definitely questioning the value of this game.

In regards to your questions or points about good stories and relationships…this is a game and there isn’t enough cut scene time or storybook time in a game to capture a real story. I read books for good stories. I play games for the visualization and collaboration. There needs to be a story line of course, but! use the little time that you have in that story to accomplish something. Avoid degrading so quickly into pointless plots.

Don’t question me on compelling stories or my use of ebook (electronic book…emm I have LotR on my phone) when you feel that what Anet has created here is compelling.

I love how people basically kitten about games actually having storylines, decent characters, and relationships.

There obviously IS enough screentime and cutscene time to show this, because… well LOTS of games do so.

The very fact that an issue has been made of Jory and Kas’s relationship is a pretty clear indication that their relationship needs to be there. It’s only an issue if you make it one, and people seem pretty determined to do so. They’re another two characters who love each other. There doesn’t have to be a motive. No one questions whether the heterosexual relationships in GW2 are for brownie points or money or fanservice. Just the gay ones.

Jory is a person. Kas is a person. Jory and Kas love one another, gender be kitten ed. End of story.

I would say that the pain of loss is a very good opportunity in the coming chapters, and that will be much stronger if there is an actual partnership between the two characters, and there are already hints that something will happen to Kasmeer.

It’s anet, when you start to like a character, they kill the character off.

It’s probably one of the oldest literary devices for getting the audience emotionally invested in the story.

Why do you feel compelled to antagonize those who don’t hold the same view as you? I’ll agree, many who advocate a binary gender model are homophobic. But that bigotry is just as steadfast in those who hold true to the spectrum gender model.

“The very fact that an issue has been made of Jory and Kas’s relationship is a pretty clear indication that their relationship needs to be there.”

Yeah, that is a very open minded view. I suppose you are right, culture should be diverse as long as it is a culture you agree with.

The sylvari took up a great deal of the game with your ideals. And I held my tongue out of respect – it was very well done. Various NPC’s showed up with your values. Held my tongue still and enjoyed playing a great game along side you all. With the addition of Jory and Kas I think the devs are just overdoing it at this point. I voice my opinion of this and you guys get aggravated over nothing. Bravo. Well, done. You have become what you dislike the most.

So, are we going to get off this subject, shake hands, and go kill some dragons?

I still don’t see how Kasmeer and Marjory are ‘OVERDOING’ it. Or how their relationship is overdoing the amount of homosexual relationships.

Lack of tolerance for heterosexuality would be to disinclude heterosexual relationships. Inclusion of homosexual relationships is not close-mindedness.

A culture that accepts both hetero and homosexuality is diverse. A culture that disincludes either sexuality is not diverse. That’s not closed-mindedness. Closed-mindedness would be only accepting homosexual relationships, which is not the case here.

As Raeysa points out. We are advocating the inclusion of EVERYONE. Rather than the exclusion of one group. You’re advocating the exclusion of one group. That’s where it gets problematic. We aren’t forcing homosexuality on anyone, we are advocating the right for its representation, the exact same right you have for heterosexuality. The difference is that we don’t deny that you have that right, but you deny that we have the same right…

Here’s the thing about Faren. He’s obviously gay. The problem is that he comes from an extremely rich family and doesn’t want to risk a life of luxury and lordship by coming out. Thus he stays in the closet constantly trying to have people think he’s straight by asking about girls and stuff. However when he tells the personal story character to refer him to ladies it’s so that he can be their friend and get to know their brothers.

In answer to the OP: Yes. It definitely felt that way at first, but with the more recent patches their relationship is becoming more believable. If you find them on the beach in Labarynthe Cliffs they bicker just like a lesbian couple I know irl.

I would like to see a non Sylvari male couple though. Norn, Charr, Asura, Human: I’m not fussy, just something believable with the fuzzies.
