Guild Wars 2

So how is it that launch pads launch you way up in the air and when you come back down you take absolutely no falling damage? But if you were to jump off a cliff from the same height you either face plant the ground and lose quite a bit of health or die instantly.

Either we take falling damage or we don’t, which is it? Some aspects of this game contradict others.

It is just like the lighting jump from the previous update. It transforms you for a bit into the element of lighting. You don’t take damage because you are the essence of lighting.

Or something.

My question is how the Hylek turrets, that used to shoot blobs and are clearly fluid nozzles hooked up to fluid canisters, now shoot giant solid spikes that are wider than the opening? o__O

lol, good observation, i didnt notice that

Asura spacial-displacement technology. The same reason their ears and outer toes “disappear” while wearing certain armor pieces. The spikes are obviously being brought in from some sort of sub-dimension.

Maybe some kind of charge applied to the goop as it’s going through the firing barrel solidifies it into a spike.

It’s techy. Or magic. Maybe both.

lol perfect!

…but it is Hylek alchemy. They aren’t really magiteck focused

Maybe that will be the LS update. Combined Asura/Hylek army invades. -__-

Secret Hylek technology.
You see, far under Maguuma lies the hidden cave city of Teotihuacan. An ancient fortress city boasting a population of thousands that have reached great technological heights in recent decades due to a lack of warfare in the city’s reaches and extended life span. These Hylek, known as the Nahuatl, now have begun to react to the encroachment by the undead. They have begun secretly supplying the surface Hylek with new experimental weapons. Embedding their engineers and scientists into the surface dwellers ranks to evaluate and take technology from the surface world.

Soon Dry-Skins.

Soon you will know the power of Zintl!
