Guild Wars 2

Just had an interesting thought looking through some posts about Sylvari lore and biology.

Obviously we know they don’t reproduce like animals, but perhaps some Sylvari could be born with a particular affinity to a previous individual, couple or group of Sylvari and feel like their child. A bit like Nightmare recruits who are born with an inclination to join the Nightmare Court through their Dream.

For example, a strong love between two Sylvari is sent to the Dream and a new sprout receives this more than anything else, who then feels an affinity to the two and feels they’re his or her parents. This would be an odd dynamic as the sprout would be unexpected by the ‘parents’, a bit like a grown child finding their parents who didn’t know the child was alive (or in this case, even born!) Of course it wouldn’t be like any animal parent-child relationship as Sylvari are born fairly self-sufficient, but it could lead to some interesting storylines, I think.

Or perhaps in that example the sprout is particularly inspired by the love, feels an affinity to one of the couple and is thus inspired to find his or her own love. Are there any Wyld Hunts based on love? Sylvari born with a vision of who they’ll form a relationship with?

Anyway, an interesting idea I thought. I’d also like to see some more Sylvari stories and lore in the game, it’s a shame there’s little relevance to races post-level 30 or so in the game. Perhaps in later expansions and living story additions!

Any thoughts? =)

@Curuniel re: eating, I’m sure they have some sort of system for digesting food, just like they do for respiring. Carnivorous plants get nutrients from insects through their leaves, easy enough to assume they have some internal parts to digest stuff a bit like that.

Yeah I’m getting the same problem too. Earlier today I was also getting intermittent disconnects and some failures to log in with this error, 7:11:3:189:101

EU server!

The last few days, sometimes my in-game contacts thing isn’t working, it shows the people who are online but just their username (location says unknown, and nothing else) and I’m getting the error message:

The game client is unable to gain access to the log-in server at this time. This is most commonly caused by firewall or router settings, security applications, or connecting through a campus network. For additional support, please visit http://support.guildwars2.com.
(Code=42:1000:9001:4119:101)

I’ve looked the message up on the forums & support, and it seems everyone else who gets the message has been unable to log-in at all and it’s been because of the server, but mine’s just stopping me communicating with people…

I thought it might’ve been my new security software but I’ve turned the firewall off and it’s still happening.

Anyone able to help? Thanks in advance!
