Guild Wars 2

I posted this idea on the Sylvari forum too, but this is probably a better place for it. Basically, my theory is that the reason we haven’t heard from Mordremoth so far is simply because nobody recognizes what it’s corrupted as dragon corruption. As the jungle dragon, Mordy probably has a plant theme. And do we fight any plant-based corruption? Why yes, we do: the Nightmare Court, and given the presence of nightmare creatures in Lab Green in the Crucible of Eternity, we could already be dealing with Mordremoth’s minions and not even realize it.

I picked this up for several reasons. First, there’s no subscription. I don’t have the time to play enough to make coughing up so much money each month worth it.

Second, It’s the gameplay. In SWTOR my Mercenary main, after about level 40, was all about spamming the exact same rotation until whatever I was aiming at died. Blah. Contrast that to my Ranger now, who nimbly leaps and dashes around the battlefield, circling foes to strike at weaknesses and firing off arrows like crazy. And the there’s leveling. A few minutes ago I “grinded” for xp by assisting several others in killing a champion mob after defending an outpost from an undead assault, which is way more fun than randomly killing rock crabs or collecting twelve droid gizmos.

Third, I’m a customization nut. I hate having ugly mismatched armor or matching armor with a stupid color scheme. Dyes fix everything (well, my low level gear still looks stupid on my Sylvari, but I’ve seen how it gets better).

Fourth, PvP. Or rather, WvW. Most MMOs have team-based PvP. This game has entire freaking ARMIES.

Also, the dance emotes. Quasi Yodas doing the moonwalk? Yes please.

… I don’t know what you just did or how this happened, but all that managed to do was slash down my download speed to less than 250 KB/S.

Ok, perhaps I should clarify that (1) I did not get to finish the download, It cut off the first time somewhere around 80% and (2) I don’t know how to do that “check disk” thing

Hello there. I have an issue.

I purchased the digital version of this game four hours ago. Due to my computer’s miserable download speed, downloading the full game takes 5-6 hours. I’ve been downloading since then.

However, a few minutes ago, my computer froze. I had to power it down and restart it, and the game launcher attempted to recover the lost data. Partway through that, I froze up again, restarted, pulled up the launcher… and I’m back at square one.

Is there any way I can recover that data and save myself four hours of downloading?
