Guild Wars 2

Whether or not you believe any of the living story or personal story really concerns you is beside the point. The thing is we were lied to. From the minute we finished creating our character, we were greeted with one of the most epic cutscenes I’ve ever seen. It went something like, “I was born here, grew up in this place. Had these friends, overcame this obstacle, and here I am now… I am <character name>, and this is MY story”. Gave me goosebumps first time I saw it.

It was wrong.

I’d be ok with the state the current living story is in except for a few points. First, if we are just part of a really good team, then make the rest of the team at least partly competent. Even with the most recent release, it’s made out where the only person doing any damage in the group is my character. If I am downed, they won’t even come over to try and get me back up. If I die, the mission fails. That’s not part of a team, that’s me carrying the entire mission. Second, for the non combat question and answer part, if you aren’t willing to listen to the people who are telling you the ‘romance’ thing is sappy and a waste of time, then please put in a dialog option to where we can tell them to shut the kitten up and actually have them not have that type of conversation again. Not in just that chapter either, but ever.

Honestly though, with the devs complaining about limited space for dialog and all that, there are much better uses that can be made of what space they do have than trying for a bad high school movie remake.

I’m sorry, but that is not a good poll. How about “Do you want your character (who is the commander of the alliance) to be acknowledged for their contributions to the ongoing fight? yes/no”. With all those choices, you can’t get a good result.

And I agree with the OP. The other members of DE2 are grown up people. All the childish ‘puppy love’ small talk makes me feel like I’m in a badly written coming of age movie.

So instead of having the Flamekissed armor use the same mesh as another armor set, you make a new one that uses the same mesh as another set (Feathered)? With this much time, I don’t see why it couldn’t of been something unique. Do the heavy and medium Flame sets use another skin as their basis?

Thanks guys. This information is exactly what I was looking for.

I appreciate it.

Since launch, my load times for GW2 have gotten progressively worse. My hard drive runs constantly, to the point where I am concerned it will cause premature failure. I’ve decided to pick up a small(ish) SSD drive for just GW2. Is there a way to run the game completely from that other drive. Not just the install, but the swap files and any other associated stuff too. The screen captures can stay on my main drive, but I’d like all the working files moved over.

I’m hoping there is a startup option or something.

Thanks.
