Guild Wars 2

I’m talking with my friend right now in school and he just asked me if I want a Jobotron. Like what even is that because I don’t even know. Should i be worried?

It’s a backpiece based on a character from near the end of the living world season 1

I don’t even know what that is though? Should I google Image it?

For the life of me I can’t find that video. Hopefully another forum member can find it or knows where it is.

No problem. Just wish I could find the Southsun one, where he asks the Norn questions to figure a job out for him.

Not sure if this is an entirely accurate summary of Job-O-Tron’s history, but I’ll try:

Once events in South Sun quieted down, Job-O-Tron was out of a job itself (male voice = himself?).

He then became Hob-O-Tron and spent some time wandering around Queensdale, panhandling for spare change as he tried to compete with a wandering minstrel. He was constantly harassed by the local authorities.

When Scarlet invaded Divinity’s Reach, Hob-O-Tron was kidnapped and imprisoned along with others. He and the minstrel were forced to entertain Scarlet’s troops with their musical talent.

Afterwards, he and the minstrel were accused and sentenced by the authorities of being collaborators and were forced into public service. He served time in the Wintersday event of 2013 as Ho-Ho-Tron, I think. He was joined by the minstrel and the two of them offered competing Dolyak escorts. Players donated to the one they wished. No unique rewards were offered for either one (as far as I can recall), and I think that was a missed opportunity.

After that, he went to work as Heal-O-Tron, assisting the medical teams that were helping soldiers fight Scarlet’s forces. This was during the time that Evon Gnashblade was pressed into service as a military supplier as well as the final battle in the now destroyed Lion’s Arch, the war to retake the city. If you see Evon today, he comments on the results of this.

I lost track of him after that. It seems he became famous as Hob-O-Tron when the tables were turned on him and has been a recurring character ever since. I, for one, hope his legend never dies and he continues to be a part of the living story.

It’s good to see he’s put his likeness and voice to good use. I’m sure proceeds are going to help pay off his debt to society.

That is about it, nice summary.

P.S. I don’t mean to be rude or anything, but if you have time to go through the forums, why not simply research it a bit? Wiki has just about all you would need, and google could fill in any blanks. I’ve never understood why people need to ask these types of questions in forums rather than just a minimal amount of research.

Probably because it’s a super obvious troll?

Job-o-Trons are taking err jerbs.

This is why LA hasn’t been rebuilt. Nothing but job-performing golems that don’t pay taxes.

This is why we need asuran engineers and supervisor teams herding their construction golems. General purpose golems put to use by others aren’t as effective.

Anyone can drive a car. If you want to win a race, hire a driver and build a proper racing car.

Perhaps this could be Job-O-Tron’s ultimate job. The one golem to help organize the final rebuilding of Lion’s Arch. With his debt to society paid in full, where would he go next as a free agent?

You do realize that typing this question took longer than searching Google (or the wiki….link at top of page), right?

Before the battle he goes to Evon asking him for defensive upgrades for his body, basically he wanted to be able to take lots of punishment, but wasn’t interested in weapons or in any way to fight back. Evon was reluctant at first (wondering how would he pay for them), but eventually agreed.

The final battle with Scarlet took place in 3 simultaneous platforms with 2 NPCs on each one helping res downed players, Heal-o-tron was in one of them.
