Guild Wars 2

I like to play Condi and Power builds. But I also think Condi is OP, because I have fun with both builds. I don’t want to make it so that one build is OP but that both have a reason to exist in all game aspects. I like to play a power Thief or Ele but Necro I like to play Condi. But I don’t want to be forced to play my Ele and Thief as Condi to be allowed in Raids or so or to change my Necro to power. I think there would have been better ways to create some sort of balance between this builds.

I don’t even want to touch the fact of numbers. They are how they are. But what also comes to the Rev is the fact he can’t decide if he want other skill combination in his Utility skills. while other classes can try interesting and different combos the Rev can only have this 3/6 Utility skills. Yes between fights you can change legends, but this just forces this 3 Utility skills of this legend on you. I hope that in the future before they bring more legends for the rev, that they will bring new skills for the already existing legends.
But one more number play. an Ele can use more different skills then a rev. I am not so sure with the Engi or other classes, and I only count 1-10 Skills. I don’t say it is bad. Some classes should have more skills, that makes them harder to master and more diverse to play. But potential numbers are still a fact.

Or maybe this is only the nature of this Humans in Guild Wars. Running away when their friends need them. I mean pulling a Logan would be no surprise to me. But what really makes me angry. She attacks the Commander for not inviting her. But then by the first sign of danger runs away. AND THE COMMANDER JUST TAKES IT! If we stay such a beta character I will give the future LW episodes the middle finger! I want my character to talk back to such kittened up behavior!

I’m pretty sure that was “affectionate teasing”, as in, “yo, I know you want me here, but I feel a little sad that you didn’t actually visit to ask me, hmmmm?”

It’s said in a way that fits well with the character — consider her behaviour around the interrogations at the party in LS2, that sort of thing. It’s the way she would gentle chide someone she likes, because they did something pretty minor but still a bit sad.

Yeah sure. We just could find here were she was hiding with her Shining Blade thugs and “helping” with interrogating some “Nobles”. And we could just walk in this place like nothing else. Sure. But then running away the first sign of danger comes around. My ass teasing. It is clear there is something that is far more important to her then we, the guild or her “Lover”.

My reaction to Kasmeer as she attacked the PC for not inviting her. “Oh! Will she be usefull for the first time in this season?” And what do I get? Another Human pulling a Logan. Last time a Mesmer and Guardian betrayed a guild a great Asura died. Maybe this time an ok Human will die? I mean come on! First whining like a bit… that she wants to be part of the guild but then running away when it gets a bit hard. And worse leaving her “Lover” while she is heavily wounded. I hope this is the last nail in their relationship. Or at least we can chose to leave her out of the guild. Braham was a whiny bi… but at least he told us out right he don’t want to be part of our Guild, Kasmeer first whines at us to get in and then runs away. I don’t want such a traitor in my guild. I maybe have already a problem with her because she didn’t want to fight a god (In this situation even multiple problems) but my biggest problem with her is she leaves her “lover” to run away like a coward. Her heavily wounded “Lover”. Just like this! Running away!
And what does our character? What does the PC? Just fu….. standing there like “Ok. I have no problem with you betraying us. Ok.” This is something that makes me want to vomit for the last few LW episodes. We just take this behavior like some tool!

And this is the point. Maybe most human hated him. But soldiers and warriors will probably worship him the most. And don’t tell me that he will have no followers. Just listen to some of the human Pact Soldiers on the new map. Some of them say they worship him as their main god. But A-Net will probably forget about the conflict this would create and never mention it in a story Q ever again.

As of right now only the Pact and the Commander knows about balthazar’s return.

We have yet to see the full long term scale of his Return effect on the Human race as a whole yet since word has not reached far yet.

You can’t really expect news as big as this to suddenly reach all of tyria when it only been a single day in Tyria that he just revealed himself to the world.

As well as a kitten ton of Asura. But even then, will A-Net ever get back to this bit of story that the commander killed a god? I personally don’t think so.
And even then. We probably wont see different ways to handle this because the Races will react differently. At bet we get one generic story where it makes sense maybe for a Human to get this treatment or say this things and that is it. It doesn’t matter how unlikely this actions are for a Charr, Norn Asura or a Sylvari. They will make one story and it will be forced to fit all of the races.

Well I can see most of it as you say. But with Kasmeer turning a Logan when her Lover was mortally wounded and we were about to take revenge I don’t want her to be part of the future of Dragons Watch. And as a Sylvari player I would like the chance to get Caithe in and not mistrust her but get the chance to act like a Sylvari who understands the pressure she was under while Mordremoth was active. I can understand this way of acting if the player character is any other race. But giving Caith so much flag for what happened while the dragon was active is not ok when you could attack your own party members as Sylvari in the story Quest.

Is no one going to ask what it says about Kasmeer that instead of staying with her lover or going after the one who hurt her she chose to pull her tail between her legs and rip out her own spine and run away?

It says that whichever writer (s) decided on her actions during this chapter apparently forgot about the finale of Season 1, where Kasmeer went after Scarlet with a vengeance after thinking she’d killed Marjory, and then went right back to Jory’s side until she turned to to survive.

Or maybe they just hoped everyone at this point forgot about it. Either way, it was a contrived and stupid way to remove her from the rest of the story, as much contrived as the “big reveal” of this chapter.

Or maybe this is only the nature of this Humans in Guild Wars. Running away when their friends need them. I mean pulling a Logan would be no surprise to me. But what really makes me angry.

What do you expect? The Sylvari players don’t get special treatment for Caith who acted because she didn’t trust anyone because of Mordremoth influencing her to some degree. For all I care I would have my Sylvari trust her again from the start of the first Episode. I could also attack my friend who made the Quest with me because for a moment the Mordrem were my friend at this point. But no. We give Caith flag for the rest of her life but take all the kitten from the other characters. No difference for any races. Letting Kasmeer attack us at the start of epi 5 but then not reacting to her when she runs away like a Logan.

And @EdwinLi.1284 and Feanor.2358 when was the last time someone saw our god? Or any god if we at this? And how many people still follow this religions and still like the boots of the so called “servants of god”?? There are more then one “Pact” soldier who is Human and says he don’t know how to feel about this. I am just glad no one else but Humans character pull a Logan in this episode

Is no one going to ask what it says about Kasmeer that instead of staying with her lover or going after the one who hurt her she chose to pull her tail between her legs and rip out her own spine and run away?

This game is an MMORPG. If there is a content that requires finding another player to play with – it’s normal even for the story missions. Nothing wrong with that, it’s not a singleplayer game. I’m happy when group content is encouraged.

Well it is called a personal story. And only the creator of the instant is even acknowledged by the NPCs. The other players don’t exist for the NPCs. So it is more or less solo content. I do it with my friends together. But we all think they need to make it easier for solo player or start to change from the " your character is the only Hero beside the NPCs" story to a “you are part of a large group and you all do your part” story telling way.

Also I want to see them remembering the fact we have different races. The hate the PC gives Caithe is ok if you are no Sylvari but if you play Sylvari it is not ok.

But this is the problem with the Story in the game over all. It is planed as Solo story.

Moonyeti.3296:

I agree an Marjory, but I disagree on Caithe- the way she was presented was that she was unpredictable and a potential threat. Under those circumstances I felt the commander justified in laying down a few threats if she steps out of line. If anything I thought the commander was way to lenient with her to not make her just explain herself first.

I think as a Sylvari we see often enough, in the story of HoT, how hard the influence of the Dragon is. So I don’t think we have any justification to attack Caithe who acted in this situation as if everyone could be the enemy. And she was not really wrong. As even the pact commander Sylvari nearly was controlled by the dragon.So yeah.

roflmao ^^ best analogy ive read in a long time

Howeve,r like Ive written in that other thread, personally I’d be happy to see some characters getting killed off.
Rox, Braham, Canach and Marjory are so worthless to the game.
GW2’s story telling needs some fresh air and the easiest way how the game can get some fresh new is is through replacing characters with new ones.

Rox = Zero Character Development from Day One until today.
Canach = At the peak of his Development, from now on nothing more than just a boring ordinary Sylvari like millions of others full of sarcasm, but sarcasm alone makes a charascter not good, nor entertaining and interesting for a long time.
Braham = This character has been basically destroyed by Anet, he could have been so much more, but anet totalyl crashed his development agaisnt the wall
Marjory = Has reached her best part with HoT, then has Anet crashed her agaisnt the wall, like Braham.

I agree with Braham.
With Rox I am not sure, yeah she is more of a background character. But at least not the worst.
Marjory and Canach I think you are wrong. Majory maybe made a bad decision, but she shows us a strong personalty with her wish to learn more about the Mursaat and the Mist. Topics that are interesting for a Necromancer. And well so far I have only seen Canach as the loyal dog of a Human. maybe we get some more character development when we see him again after he is free now and want to go his own way. He didn’t really had a way to develop as he was forced to be part of the shiningblade.

I think you have forgotten that he gave the oath out of blind stupid love on first sight. Some fairy tale bs. And then he lets Snaff and Glint die because his Queen oh so needed his help (No she didn’t, she is far stronger than Logan and we see this again in ep 4).

I’m pretty sure he had no idea she could do that when he went rushing off to her rescue. Also, I seem to recall that HE was the one that released the charr prisoners in Ebonhawke to help defend the city during that final fight. That’s the really impressive thing he did right there, he convinced a bunch of prisoner charr to take up arms and fight alongside their lifelong enemies against a greater threat, and it did it quickly.

Logan is very much a heroic character. When that fails, he seems lame. When it’s the right moment for a hero to step forth, he shines. I think the announced role change for him in LS3 is just what was needed.

He didn’t do it on his own. He used the Blood legion Amulet that Rytlock gave him as a sign of their friendship. He was seen as a brother of a Charr and so a Charr himself. Also something he wasn’t worthy to have after betraying the others. The Queen cried for help and like a dog he ran to her.

It was not because he was such a great character or something. It was because of the Charr culture that he could rally the prisoners behind him.

Keep Braham and Majory alive.
Kill Caithe.

Unlike Braham and Majory

Caithe is a perfectly fine character if your a Sylvari in fact as a Sylvari I find I’m way to hard on Caithe. She was their for our personal stories and the only personal story character people universally hate is Logan.

I don’t get why people hate him. Seeing as he’s tied to the queen thanks to her magic and an oath he gave her, but I guess it’s easy to forget theses things and just band waggon on the hate train.

I think you have forgotten that he gave the oath out of blind stupid love on first sight. Some fairy tale bs. And then he lets Snaff and Glint die because his Queen oh so needed his help (No she didn’t, she is far stronger than Logan and we see this again in ep 4).

Caithe on the other hand was under Mordremoth influence and fight it. This caused her to have problems. I hate it when I play the new Living world with my Sylvari and there is the same treatment for Caithe as all the other Sylvaris get in Maguma from the other Races.
And here the thing with Caithe again. As a Sylvari player we give her a hard time but take everything this over sized cry baby gives us like a sponge.

CaptainVanguard.4925:

Taimi… is a bit of a mary sue, even if she has this love/hate vibe for me, Taimi started off great as this chaotic character that just appeared into the chaos and mess of things and claimed to know everyone. I strongly suspected at first she was just some spy working for Scarlet but being her fangirl made her alot more hilarious and complex. But the only thing I didnt like was her initally bratty personality and how angsty she was about giving her invention away rather selfishly kitten ing all of Tyria for a brief moment because she wanted the credit.

I get that it was her invention, but that was annoying for me. It was however redeemed when she finally learned to depend on her friends instead of being a brat and after that she grew on me heavily. Since then, ive really come to like her as a character and shes all but replaced Zojja at this point who is frankly a spare part since Zojja’s role as scientist extrodinare is literally now Taimi’s role.

This is where Braham/Marjory really have excelled as they are the two most developing members of DE 2.0

In conclusion, I think its unfair to hate on them for actually being interesting, because at least they’re doing something, which is more than just standing there and looking pretty, like Zojja is right now.

Also I think many people think of this characters just as Humans. That they should react like Humans do and all. This is my problem with Braham. He acts like a Human would do. We have a great Norn in the Book Ghosts of Ascalon. Gullik Oddsson, we see him grieving over his Sister but not like a cry baby like Braham. He is only angry with Dougal Keane because he was told he wouldn’t tell her story. The Norn way of grieving.

And this can be ported over to Taimi as well. She comes from a very different Race and culture than humans could ever understand. We have this in the books and also in the story and all how they want credit for their intellect and other recognition in form of crews and high positions. And how they are ready to go over dead bodies to do this.

Can’t say I am a fan of this idea.

Neither am I, as it is impossible to solo-farm (unless you manage to run through in a hurry, but even then you are bound to die eventually, and the nearest waypoint is on the opposite side of the map).

I don’t like it either. I mean this is one of the 4 main resources, why is it so hard to get? I mean this should be the one you can the easiest. Killing animals and taking off their skin. That’s it. So why is it so complicated and rare?
Also, if this is high level contend, even high level group content. What will player do who don’t have HoT or want to play/farm solo? Or just start playing the game? I think this is a bad idea, but I am curious how this will change the leather prices. Or if you can only farm high level Leather. I mean why making high end contend and then only throw mid and low level loot at you? Why not making one place for every leather tier? There are routes you can farm for every other metal or wood or what ever you need. But this is missing for leather.
