Guild Wars 2

Same issue. EU/FSP. There goes Friday nights GW2 time.

snip

Sorry for the snip, but figured it’d be a tad too long to quote. And no yer not rude at all, it’s all part of a discussion.

I cannot say whether or not Konig considers WP as his equal. Personally I think, in my little mind, think he considers all of the lore community as his equal. All I said is he does not consider himself as being above multiple members of the lore community. The names I said were just a few on the top of my head.

As I said in my earlier post, I totally understand WPs role in bringing the GW lore to the masses. He does a great job at it, for those who do no follow the Lore forums here (or gw2guru). But as far as calling him the #1 lore source etc, I disagree with (impressions so many in this very thread give me). He does know what is going on with the lore discussions very well and I am sure enjoys reading all the stuff on the lore forums. But he by no means is the most eminent community lore source in here. And for that reason, I am doubtful he should receive recognition as a ‘lore’ source.

EDIT: And while all of this seems to be exemplifying Konig, the lore community as a whole is amazing and deserves recognition. They have kept me entertained since GW1, Prophecies.

“I know they don’t think themselves as anything special, but Konig and drax have been extremely active on the lore community since GW1.”

You should read the first page of this; Konig seems to have a different idea as to what he thinks of himself and his contributions to the community.

As for Dulfy being put in as an NPC, well it happened. I am not sure we’ll be seeing more of those to be honest despite my opinion on the matter. I am not sure we really should. Still I felt it was a nice suggestion by the OP. Opinions on a subject such as this is always going to be very split and very “heart on your sleeve”

And if ye read his side point, he says he doesn’t really want or need an npc after himself. Yes, it would make him excited as it would show his dedication to the game (any GW fan would love to see themselves in game), but he “doesn’t want it”. He also says “(which I’m not too fond of the last but meh it happened)”. He never has asked for the community to acknowledge him as a ‘lore god’’, tbh my past experiences with him have him pointing out drax and leon and others as his equals.

All I am saying, as far as lore goes, Konig, drax and few others are far more deserving than WP in his aggregating of lore discussions into youtube videos.

If there should be an ingame representation relating to community lore efforts, there are a few people I can think of that should take precedence.

Can you name any please? I am interested.

I know they don’t think themselves as anything special, but Konig and drax have been extremely active on the lore community since GW1. And their knowledge of the lore is amazing.

Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate WPs efforts on bringing the lore to the masses. For a community outreach, yes he might deserve an homage. But for lore, there are many who contribute more to the discussions. If anything, the whole lore community is amazing and might deserve an homage in the game (as a whole).

And I apologize Konig and drax, I know you guys don’t consider yourselves as the nr1 lore source, just my observations since GW1.

While I agree that his videos are nice and I love the fact he gets more people interested in the lore of the GW universe, I do not think he should get an ingame representation. Why? His videos are, as I said, nice. But his facts are sometimes inaccurate, or proven wrong.

If there should be an ingame representation relating to community lore efforts, there are a few people I can think of that should take precedence. Some people have been very active on the lore community since GW1. Of course would these people actually want anything like that is another story. Maybe something that would point to the lore community as a whole, instead of few individuals.

My sylvari ele got a steampunk treatment

Kraitkin. Because it is an underwater legendary. Only the people who truly appreciate it will craft it. Personally I think the greatswords are so overdone by now it’s ridiculous.

Though all of them really need a story behind them. They need to be something more than just a purple name and fancy particle effects and immense grind.

My rather fresh sylvari ele, looking stylish

GW1: Necro, MM in the good olden days when raising a massive army of bone fiends was still possible, various builds later on.

GW2: Necro, human. Bit disappointed with the way minions work in here, but I still love the theme and feel of the profession. Mainly do conditions or some form of wellmancer build here.

More and harder jumping puzzles would be great.

There might even be the possibility, if ANet ever wants to introduce player-made content, to include it in this form amongst other possibilities. With some rudimentary tools players could create their own jumping puzzles that others could then play through a JPotM lobby. Of course that would be a tremendous amount of work from ANets part to make all that possible.

Simple solution. Make dragon spawns on overflow maps match that of the normal one.

Not too much coding involved. Sure it might tale longer to beat him but I myself saw 40+ unhappy people in an overflow today, myself including.

Except, which servers timer should the overflow follow since overflows are shared between a number of worlds?

Just had this happen on Far Shiverpeaks, Queensdale at around 9am GMT. What surprises me is that it threw me into an overflow this early on in the day.

Yes, I love my necro. I have a necro, guardian and an engi at 80, and yet the only one I play is the necro.

There is a lot of whining and QQ regarding our lovely class on the forums. Some of it is warranted (minion AI, condition issues, inanimate objects, bloody reanimator! etc.) and some is not. Personally, I enjoy necro immensely in both PvE and WvW aspects of the game and do not plan on switching any time soon.

Hello everyone.

Just a quick message to drop a happy Christmas to all of you.
Enjoy these days with your people in and outside of Tyria!

Wait, what? There are people outside of Tyria?! But it was never mentioned in any of the patch notes, is this is a stealth update or a tease of things to come?!

In all seriousness, Merry Wintersday to one and all!
