Guild Wars 2

Not sure if this has been discussed before but, we were said that revenant would have some chatter with the legends and even have them talk to each other. Not only was this not true but they barely talked if at all. Ventari specifically only has one single line. The rest are all grunts and shouts. I think Mallyx has probably the most lines which makes him the most entretaining in that regard.
I want to asume this is because they weren’t finished yet, but I have a hunch this is all we get, and it’s quite disappointing really. For someone like Ventari you’d expect him to be reciting his own predicaments while using skills and whatnot, considering the tablet even lights up specific lines when you use skills.

I can’t remember the exact words, but i recall shiro whinging about me invoking him at times.

Shiro does have a couple lines, yes. But I still feel like there are very few voice overs compared to what they talked about

Hmm. I heard them talking to me quite frequently. Now to each other? That’s a different story.

mallyx roxx when swapping, i hope other legend will get something similar voice too

Im actually disappointed by lack of dialogues, it doesnt feel like they talk at all outside of Shiro. In many cases its just “argh, warh” like from… nvm really. Ventari has olny 1 line.

This might be a blessing in disguise. Imagine how obnoxious it would get after awhile if they spoke constantly. No matter how cool the lines might be, it gets tiresome hearing the same things over and over.

^ this. It’s cool but can be obnoxious if done too much.

So basically what they do now except instead of being something intelligible it’s just grunts. :/ I think they need to have their dialogue extended or just no sound at all

Activating skills will occasionally trigger in-game dialogue from the legends, and the player character will sometimes respond with race-specific dialogue of their own. Depending on the legend your revenant has summoned between fights, you may also hear some small talk out of combat.

As far as I could tell, in the BWE the only part of this was actually available was the legends occasional “dialogue” when you use a skill or channel them. My character never responded to them, nor did I experience any out of combat dialogues.

Given it was a roleplay article I’m beginning to wonder how much of this was intended to describe roleplay as opposed to actual gameplay.

If it’s finalised, would be cool of Roy could maybe comment on this so I can manage my expectations

some people want to hear them more often and others don’t want to hear them at all. So what is the best solution ?

Get rid of all the people that disagree with me!

But eh, like everything a toggle option is the “best” solution. Failing that the best solution would be to leave as it currently is as it isn’t terrible, but still has some flavour for those of us that want legend dialogue

Even if most of them are angry noises.

Solution is easy. Make legend voices being affected by dialog volume ingame. You dont want to hear em? Mute dialog. This way both sides can be happy. I personally think the line where Mallyx speaking about his ultimate power is cool and it gives me that a motivation to play harder and win. Thats just me tho.

Yeah the “I have returned to fight at your side” seems really unfitting when you look at the history of the character that is Shiro. Why did they do this?

Not to mention the voice does not match the face. You’d think he would sound…darker?

Welp, not like we can complain now anyway. Doubt they’d redo the voices.
