Guild Wars 2

I don’t think all the above was the main purpose of the post, it was not about the relationship, it was more about the character development. There are more female character developments than male, the focus is too much on the ladies.

As I mentioned before, the only male character to have been given some kind of development was Canach, all the other male character have no development whatsoever. Moreover, Kasmeer and Marjory are in the spotlight more than any other female character I’ve seen even. Imho, it’s too much, and I somewhat agree with Brutalistik about them.

Now that I think about it, it’s kind of funny that there’s more gay relationships in this game than interracial ones (I can’t think of any of the latter, actually, unless they actually go through with Braham/Rox).

Honestly, Marjory and Kasmeer’s relationship has always been ham-handed, and that’s without getting into any issues with how it began (Even before they were in a relationship, working for Marjory was the only thing keeping Kasmeer from being homeless, and I shouldn’t have to spell out the issues with that scenario. I’m sure whoever wrote for them thought it was romantic or something, but comes off pretty creepy).

Also Logan’s sad kitten for the queen is the most pathetic thing in this game, I swear to God.

I love you for the last sentence xD <3

The balance between male and female characters is not there. We have strong female characters, and that’s great, as well as a good support for the LGBTQ community, but how about the male characters? I would love to see some development, a bit of bromance and maybe even a gay couple amongst the different races.

Females: Eir, Zojja, Caithe, Taimi, Marjory, Kasmeer, Rox, Anise, Jenna, Pale Tree, Faolain, Scarlet and Keil.

Males: Rytlock, Logan, Trahearn, Braham, Canach and Evon.

These are the key characters we have now. I may have missed some but yeah…

I wouldn’t count the Pale Tree. She’s the “mother” of Sylvari, and logically, ain’t no daddy who’s gonna give birth to a millions kids okay. For all we know, Pale Tree has been pollenized by many other male flowers and trees or something.

If one were to look at the active categories of female and male then we’d have:

1. Females: Marjory, Kasmeer, Taimi, Eir, Zojja, Jenna, Anise, Caithe, and Rox. Not counting Faolain and Keil because they are not actively in the story and Faolain was only mentioned as a memory.
2. Males: Trahearn, Canach, Logan, Rytlock, Braham. Add some ACTIVE characters of the story if you like. No, dead characters do not count.

Now, @kimeekat.2548 while you say that Anet did a good thing, and I somewhat agree with you, I also somewhat agree with the OP, but not because I want to see more male characters. I want to see Marjory and Kasmeer (for example) as more independent characters and not the mushy lovers I have seen in the last few chapters (imho it’s too much). The female characters imho have not been given the treatment that they should be given. I haven’t read the books so I will not touch Jenna’s character, but I will go on to say that Rox can be a behemoth, Taimi can make behemoths, but ain’t no behemoth seen.

As for the male characters, they did not receive the limelight at all imho. Rytlock will be coming in HoTs, but Logan has become stale, Trahearn (where is the development?), Canach (the only male character to be developed so far), Braham (do you even develop your character bruh?)

Xyvol.1265:

I don’t really buy the Malyck theory. If Caithe was going to off him to prevent his secret from getting out, why wouldn’t she have done it then and there? It was already pointed out that she doesn’t have any qualms in kill taking care of business in front of the PC. So then why the facade in letting him go? His reason for leaving was not only to get away from the Nightmare Court and keep them from discovering his secret, but also to discover if there is another tree with another sylvari culture. If so, he’d bring their aid to the dreamers and help fight the dragons. So she helps this guy, sets this all up, then changes her mind and shanks him while he’s climbing over a vine? I don’t buy it.

I get the feeling that it’s something in her past, something older than the point in time where the game starts. Scarlet was already a cuckoo clock by that point, so it’s doubtful she had much contact with Caithe while devising her mad schemes. The part about even Faolain not knowing, and just realizing that fact, implies that one would assume Faolain knows this information. Presumedly because of the time Caithe and Faolain spent together and knowing they were lovers, which was about 20 years ago when the race first woke. Once you break up, you stop getting details about every little thing your ex is doing. (Though to be fair, Faolain was a stalker for some time after…)

Maybe Caithe’s secret is her fanfiction account where she wrote all the CaithexFaolain fanfics to satisfy her longing.

Zaxares.5419:

Well, with regards to the last point, Faolain knows that if she can isolate Caithe from the rest of her friends, she’ll have a much easier time convincing Caithe to “join the dark side”. As such, it MIGHT have been Faolain at work, intending to blackmail Caithe later with the old “Your friends will never take you back. You’ve always been sneaky and suspicious. They’ll never believe your innocence. Stay here with me, dearheart. You know I’ll always love you.”

That said, my personal theory is more that it’s either Canach or Anise disguised as Caithe who took the egg, or Caithe does indeed know something about why she had to take the egg. (It would be a glorious twist if an upcoming LS chapter reveals that YOU have become corrupted/influenced by Mordremoth after stepping into Omadd’s machine, and Caithe has to keep the egg safe from you, because the moment it falls into your hands, Mordremoth will seize mental control of you and direct you to bring the egg to him.)

I was expecting the very same thing! It wouldn’t surprise me if Modremoth tried to control us.

But I thought that maybe Caithe might take the egg and run to Faolain. As baseless as this might sound, it might “purify” her? But then that’s just positive thinking on my part. What you say is the most likely direction of the story.

Maybe losing players will make them listen but eh.

When I can do the story like it used to be without worrying about my level?

I wish they remove this new lock system from the story

Don’t waste your time or money on this game go find another one.

Don’t waste your money. Playing WoW at this point is 10 times better.

They just ruined it for no reason…

I regret buying the character slots now.

We have different culture of MMO than China, can we get ours back please?
I feel I just got back stabbed with this patch.

I would like to point out that the new mechanics of the game make absolutely no sense whatsoever. A-net, no doubt you seek to improve the mechanics of the game but some of the updates here are very unnecessary. They not only ruin the experience, but are FORCING us to go down a path that we would not normally take.

Please, do not force your players to adopt a certain pattern. It is much more enjoyable to have a free atmosphere to choose where we go and how we play than to have a reward system which is not really so rewarding, and forcing us to finish up the map when we just want to enjoy the story-line. Maybe some of us don’t want to finish the map? Maybe some of us are playing with our friends? Maybe some of us were playing it for the system?

Must you lock the trading post and abilities to a certain a level? That was unnecessary because now I personally find it very difficult to play with my character. I was taking my time leveling my other characters but you are forcing me to level them up so that I can do certain activities.

Must I complete the map? Really? I just wanted to play the story and see the different part of each story line of Priory, Vigil and Whispers.

In conclusion, the new system is very painful, and I feel upset because I cannot access tabs I normally could. I no longer feel flexible. The system has become very rigid, and too demanding.

I.. My only reaction: “What happened?”
