Guild Wars 2

To be honest, I liked the story, having finished it to the end. Maybe I’m just weird or don’t get bothered by things everyone seems to hate. I get what they were going for, I understand the themes they were trying to incorporate. For a GAME, I think they did a pretty good job at telling a cohesive story. I found myself wanting to get to the next part of the story, not to get more XP (although that little incentive is nice) but to find out what happens next. I laughed at some of the quirky things some of the characters said and was actually sad when some of the characters died. In my opinion, if this was the writers “failing” then I can’t wait for the living story content to unfold.

Anyway. that’s my unpopular opinion and I’m sticking to it.

Haven’t had this problem since a week or so ago the (last time I posted here). So maybe they’ve fixed it for some players/servers? Or maybe its just random.

I play on Jade Quarry btw.

I remember doing this quest with a (pistol/dagger) thief (which I incidentally deleted later due to my altoholicism) I tried every strategy and died multiple times and didn’t play that character for at least a week because I was dreading attempting that quest again. When I came back to it later I decided to upgrade all my armor/weapons before trying it. After doing that, it still wasn’t easy but it was doable. Definitely one of the more challenging quests I’ve done in this game and I’ve leveled a Norn Ranger to 80.

Just got done with my personal story, and he wasn’t the most exciting character ever and the voice acting wasn’t AMAZING. But his part in the story seemed to follow the the rest of the story in this game, in that my character was helping these characters come to some sort of realization about themselves (in Trahearne’s case that he could be a leader/helping him understand his Wyld Hunt) which gave me some sense of accomplishment I think. I never felt like he felt entitled to his position of power. He seemed humble enough to me. But maybe I missed something somewhere.

I filed a bug report for this happening last night. I didn’t include the map I was on at the time in my message. Can they tell where I was at the time I reported it? or should I make a new bug report with that info in the message?

Sincerely,

A Noob

Now, I have only been playing the game for a little less than month so I could be wrong, but isn’t the only death penalty damaged armor? If that is the case, damaged armor isn’t THAT costly and I don’t think accidentally getting damaged armor because the game crashed or logging off when stuck in combat mode on occasion would be horrible considering the exploit that it fixes. Please correct me if I’m wrong. I’m not afraid to admit I’m a noob

It depends on the piece of armor. I’ve noticed the repair costs go up the higher your level is, so I’d wager the more expensive the armor, the more costly it is to repair. I’m not sure what the repair bill is at higher levels though since I keep my alts in level range and they’re all 45-47 currently.

There is also the fact that when you log out of WvW you’re put back wherever you were in the world – and if you weren’t in a city you’d have to pay for waypoint costs too (since you’d be dead). At 45-47 it can be ~60c for short trips.

Ah ok. That makes sense. Thanks for the info. In that case (unless your character is just loaded with gold), I see how that could be quite annoying.
