Hi There,
I have been inactive for while and wish to re-enter gw1 with a friend of mine.
Is it possible for for me to get my password reset?
Thanks again.
Yes, it is still bad. I just came back recently, and my friend and I tried to play by starting a brand new character. It is still filled with bugs, and still failed in wanting me to play again. As a GW1 player, Anet should have marketed to its core demographic, but at least GW1 is still fun to play.
Guild War 2 should be separate spin-off series from the guild wars series. It is so different, and the focus clearly is NOT in humans favour should be a sign of it. But the retconning of lore is the main thrust of it to market towards new players of the guild wars franchise. I mean, the change the Charr went into the current spot-light is very different and has put a lot of guild wars 1 players despise guild wars 2, as players went BACK to GW1 because Anets new product failed them.
Lordkrall clearly doesn’t know what he is talking about.
This is a typical response of the stock market from new information being presented. Is it bad? Yes, but it depends on the health of the company and how many future positive cash flows NCsoft produce.
FYI: Since they have Anet and NCsoft have already announced their involvement in China, the equity price already represents the Chinese market.
The lore is fine. USA and Great Britain have become kumbaya themselves even though much of the colonial history was founded in blood and guts. 250 years is a long time for a lot of things to happen. In fact, looking at RL history of France, England, US and Spain we see that often timkes when wars end, they just end.
The lore is not fine. I’ve created a few posts before why it isn’t fine, and so has others in other threads. But I’ll give you one, for instance – why do people have to be constantly corrected about Ascalon being the Charr “homeland?” Why do people quickly assume this?
Also if you looked at history, really looked at history, especially the 20th century history. You’ll understand how wars dont just end, but create additional and different settings for more wars. Just look at the Bulkans Wars and World War 1, or World War 1 to World War 2! Just look at the Middle East.
Finally. This will be my post. Goodbye GW2.
Why bother. The writers for GW2 have created a distorted storyline that doesn’t make any sense with GW1. This game is dead to me. The sad things is how willingly people accept the infomation is given to them, and how there is zero choice for the player to have any opinion, on any subject matter in gw2.
…I wouldn’t think many here would say the new races shouldn’t be here(although I personally would disagree), it’s the way in which ANet went about it that irks many GW1 vets. It’s almost as if they wanted humans to be looked at in a shameful or pitying way…
Absoluetly. The new team wanted a fresh perspective, and cut off the old gw1 players. The writers, and developers changed a lot of the Guild Wars universe and wanted to market it to a new audience. But they disregarded their core playbase (guild wars 1 players) for the sake of a new game and I think they made a mistake by doing so.
For instance, look at the how the expert of Orr is a Sylvari – not even a single Human in Tyria is an expert on their own history! Or makes any mention of the Searing and the damage is did to the Humans in Ascalon – but to top it off, your character cant even choose their own opinion on the subject matter. It is disgusting writing and storytelling, and a stab in the back to the core fanbase.
….the war really was about taking their land back. And subduing their most threatening foe…
lolwut? The Charr attacked the three major human civilizations, one went into the ocean, another got nuked into the ground, and the last one was only saved because of the White Mantle. The Charr wanted to get rid of the humans all together.
So what? Charr ate humans and call humans “meat” – not even recognizing their accomplishments against the Titans, or even holding off the Charr out of Ascalon for 1000 years. But please, other than some cosmetic armor. Where does the humans actually demostrate their horrible nature against the Charr?
- “So, as you all can see, this man has committed the following crimes …”
- “Ah, come on, someone else did some crimes too! So i innocent! This is perfectly logical, why didn’t you see that?”A crime is a crime, regardless of whether the offense was committed by someone else.
Since there has been no direct evidence of humans being equally evil towards the Charr. I have to conclude the Charr have a lot crimes to answer for, and my assumption of the Charr committing genocide and are warmonger’s is correct.
Let me put it another way. Does the Tengu mask demostrate the terrible experiences the Tengu have suffered?
Yes I do hate the Charr. I had two LDOA (Legendary Defender of Ascalon) in GW1. I dont actually hate the Charr themselves, as much as I hate Anet for creating this cognitive dissonance from GW1 to GW2. The twisting of the lore, and making the Charr the clear favorites of the Guild Wars universe has really shown a lack of clarity and consistancy in story telling of their products. What’s worse is the mangement of the lore towards the dedicated, loyal customers from the traditional game (Prophecies), and completely disregarded the customers experiences with the Charr. It is absoluetly disgusting how the your character, or yourself in GW2 cannot even have a different opinion on this subject matter. When you talk to the seperatist, or people in the Ascalon Settlement – the opinion you give is the same. As such, it has created this completely misconception of the Charr having Ascalon as their “homeland” stolen.
Also why humans bearly talk about the Searing is beyond me. People often say it was 250 years ago, and humans should let it go. Even an NPC said something similar in Divinity’s Reach. Yet, it is okay for the Charr to take Ascalon after 1000 years, and it was “bad” of the humans to conquer it.

The Flame Legion brought some corrupt gods to the Charr and were leading them astray. The other legions fought back & drove out the gods.
Wrong.
There were no four distinct legions at the time. The “legions” were not autonamous entities as they are today, as all Charr were led by a single office, that of the Khan-Ur.
The Charr were united at the time of the searing, there was no “aww you shouldn’t have done that flame legion”
Charr owe humans a lot more than they like to admit.
QFT
I dont understand this apologist movement with charr. The sickening talk of from charr against Rurik in the Black Citadel is the worse display of bias history ive seen. I’ve also never encountered, or read the the humans ever using an mass genocide (see: The Searing) against the charr either, or any other race. Can someone please tell how the humans are “just” as bad as the charr? The humans didn’t keep the charr as slaves for decades, and they certainly didn’t keep charr cubs as slaves. If you want to know how bad it was keep as a slave – read Gwen’s experiences with them .
FYI: The charr don’t deserve Ascalon, and it was crtainly never their “homeland”.
