Guild Wars 2

I have the same problem. Spent a great amount of gold (for me it was a great amount at least) and great amount of materials, can’t see the aura on my charr.
Please ArenaNet, show some love for your charrs.

Hi!
I’m working on the first tier Juggernaut collection. One of the items of the list is kneeling before the giant of Nageling which should spawn in Diessa Plateau. I waited more than 2 hours at the village of Nageling and sadly I didn’t encounter him.
There is a bugged event next to the village as well, which requires the players to kill 10 separatists, but it only spawns 9, this way the event can’t be completed and the Nageling waypoint remains contested.
Could this bugged event be the cause of the missing giant? I tried to guest on other servers, and I found Nageling in the same condition there as well. Event can’t be completed, waypoint contested, giant won’t spawn.
Thanks for your help in advance!

First: I’m okay with Taimi giving her invention over. But she wasn’t asked to GIVE it over, she was TOLD it was to be taken from her. Honestly, the invention is only half of what they need. They need her input and notes as well. They didn’t ask for that, they just wanted to take the invention.

Second: If we’d had a chance to something encouraging, and give her some support, then she might have calmed down and not gone running off in the first place. The plot dictates that we don’t do this, but … really? We just stand back and let Phlunt blackmail her (and us)? And I’m sure that if it had been presented properly, Taimi would have been thrilled to share all the notes and information on the device, considering it would be her chance to show off even more.

Third: We are the highest ranking member of the Pact in the area. This is a dragon issue, we ARE in command there. And I want Taimi officially working with the Pact. Why? Because that means that she’ll have an assistant or two (likely from the Priory) helping her and documenting things (with her name and notes all over them, I’m sure). She’d also have a couple of guards with her, likely from the Vigil and maybe one from the Order of Whispers. Then we wouldn’t be running off and leaving her all alone in dangerous areas.

Finally: After the attack on the Pale Tree, I don’t think we can say that Taimi would be safer back at Rata Sum, or anywhere else for that matter. But she’s the one that understands Scarlet’s research the best. She’s three steps ahead of anyone else on figuring out what’s going on. Kid or not, we NEED her. (And she’s better off than some kid heroes. At least Scruffy doesn’t follow her around going “Hey! Listen!” all the time.)

It was told to her to hand over the device because it’s the asuran law. If she is a genius she can understand this. Every asura has to part ways from the inventions he makes while he is an apprentice. None of them runs away with them, especially if the invention plays this big of a role in making the summit happen.
She runs away, because she is a child. It’s her reaction, you can’t control another being even if you are the PC.
How many Pact members do you saw there?
Taimi would not be safe in Rata Sum, but no one said she would. But it certainly not helps that the race with one of the most modern technology and magic is not helping us fight the dragons, because we are wanted a child make feel better. The asuras fleed from one of the dragon’s before, they’ll manage to do it again. Build a flying city and more asuran stuff and magic and ponies. And we stay here without lazors, golems, not to mention if one of the asuran gates disfunctions there is no one to fix them.
I’m still saying everyone should calm down and realize that Taimi had to make a sacrifice and there was no other way to keep the peace. I understand that everyone adores her, but what she did was stupid. If you would let her keep the device it would mean the end of Tyria, or at least double the damage that would otherwise happen to it.

Palador.2170:

“Phlunt, if you’re backing out of the deal, then fine. Taimi, turn off your device. We’ll order the Pact to start destroying waypoints and gates immediately.”

“What’s that? You say I can’t do that? I can and I am. I am the Commander of the Pact, and I AM IN CHARGE HERE! If you are unwilling to do your part and help us against the dragons, then we’ll do it without you. The cost to you and yours will not be considered. Leave, or I and my team will execute you and leave your corpses for the vultures. Once the waypoint network is destroyed, the dragon will attack the only place such energy remains. The rest of us will have time to gather our forces while it devours Rata Sum.”

“What’s that? You were, perhaps, a bit hasty? Yes, I thought so too.”

First, the PC is not in CHARGE here. He is just the SECOND in command of a military group, so he/she can’t make this kind of decision alone, cuz Trahearne is in CHARGE here. And I think the title is now more like an honorary title since, he/she doesn’t even sniffed near the Pact for a year or so.
Second, yes you are the “boss” of the group, but you seriously think Braham and Taimi would murder innocents? For you?
Third, if the PC would have the power to kill a member of the Arcane Council, and state that the Pact will not protect Rata Sum, all of the asuras (since they are arrogant little kittens) would leave the Pact and take their genius and technology with them. No more laser cannons, no more golems to do the dirty work. And remember the asuran technology played a huge role in taking down Zhaitan.
Fourth, it’s not stealing, the Council just wants to examine the device, since it is one of the greatest accomplishments of all time. And they would give it back to Taimi when she becomes older. Taimi is just being a kid (since she is one) and makes a big deal out of it.
Fifth, the World Summit is near, the PC, the one who should talk about collaboration, and making peace, just threatend one of the world leaders. Sure everyone will say: “That’s a fine man there, I should listen to him”.

If you would screw up whole Tyria because of a kid can’t part ways from her invention, when she KNOWS that it must be done to make the summit happen, then go on please. Let the world sink into the belly of Mordremoth, but at least Taimi will die happily.

draxynnic.3719:

In international diplomacy, making claims on territory on the basis that it used to be yours and you lost it in some past historical event is called ‘revanchism’. It’s not considered good behaviour, and certainly isn’t regarded as justification for anything, let alone employing weapons of mass destruction indiscriminately against a civilian population, which is what the Searing was.

And most cases of revanchism represent territories that were lost a lot more recently than twelve hundred years ago. Anybody who laid a claim on a territory on the basis that it was part of their nation over a thousand years ago would be laughed out of the UN. Unless perhaps if they happened to be a permanent member of the Security Council.

You do realize you are trying to force real life definitions and norms on a fantasy world? And you bring in the UN as well?
Revanchism isn’t considered a good behaviour in OUR world, because the majority of the world says so. So if we wan’t to know if the charr (re)conquest was justified or not we need to play by GW rules.
Personally I think the asuras don’t give a kitten about it, the norns want to retake their homeland as well, so they can relate, maybe the sylvari will agree with the humans, but because they have such a unique world view it’s a 50-50 chance for them to take side with the charr in the matter.
Of course these are just speculations, but until the majority of Tyria will say that it is bad to take back your home, the charr will have rightful claim for Ascalon.

I’m not ok with uniting with the Charr, but I guess we don’t get to choose.

Agreed.

I’ll never forget what they did to Ascalon.

You mean taking back their homelands from the humans who stole it from them?
