Guild Wars 2

Azure The Heartless.3261:

A game does not have to be morally perfect. Otherwise it’s surreal.

MY point is that we should be able to choose our own morality, and not just hop on the linear treadmill that is “Because”. THAT’S surreal too.

Certain mobs should be neutral until attacked, like cows moa etc…
I am being fed bullkitten about seperatists being this and that, and the only person who’s word I have to go on for this is the bullkitten team at Kryta Royalty and Bootlickers.

Kinda biased if you ask me.

Uzolan? I kittening love that guy.
Can I join Minister Caudecus’ elite guard? No.
I have to do what Loagan tells me.

And most of what he tells me is based out of his tongue being so close to Jenna’s kitten.

So I take it with a grain of salt.

Ugh, oh yeah, you guys forgot religious persecution.

kittening guy in Maw, all he wants yo do is worship Dragon, so what does he do? He erects a totem to his animal spirit. And what are we told to do, kill him. Kill him because heaven forbid it offends Bear.

kitten Bear
Poor Svanir Shaman.(((

Separatists anyone?

I will never get the separatist slayer achievement. I don’t go to ebonhawke for that reason.

Vigil?
Priory?
Whispers?

kitten THAT!
I want to join SEPERATIST faction.

WereDragon.6083:

Because if it had those the playerbase would SCREAM paytowin and throw a world class hissies, do you remember the Watchwork Pickaxe?

I have one of those pickaxes, why do people hate me? Not p2win on account of I’m so casual. I told myself never to gem again but onfghdh magic carpet, I bought it instantly.

Anyone remember Gladiator Armor from GW1?
On Guildwars2, my first exotic drop ever was Koss’ Chestguard(Scallywag?) and I wore it mismatched with my Heritage gear. I’m now running full Heritage cause it just looks more professional.
Back when we had this AWESOME feature called “Townclothes”, I would walk around in Riding Boots & Pants, topless. Like Rommel if he forgot to put his shirt on.

In you example of tattoos, I think what Anet should do, and I believe it’s been suggested MANY times already, is to make all armor pieces “show/hide” like headgear and gauntlets. I made a female Norn once to try the different races(I play exclusively Human) and had dark blue tattooing that was on all the legs, and if you took the leggings gear off, it looked like she was wearing tights/pantyhose. So if given that option, you could totally work certain pieces out to make any given gearset more revealing.

Hell, even mix and mach gear, there was a thread a while ago about that very thing and people can come up with impressive stuff.

My point is, you have options. Wether you want new ones is a different story.

On the topic of my making fun of people. Look at some of those “example” armours people posted. Yeah, it is kittening sexualized, and screams “I write GW2/50 shades crossover (erotic)fanfics, and subscribe to HBO”

Responding seriously if you are being serious:

What about medium armor? What options do they have? I’ll grant you that heavy has 3 decent ones, and I do mix and match every one of them with various pieces, but skimpy also doesn’t have to necessarily mean “to show skin”. More heavy armor that isn’t bulky, more form-fitting, not a skirt, etc. This is exactly what is being asked so I’ll assume you’re agreeing with the OP : “more skimpy male armor”.

As far as the examples that have been posted, I’d say most of them aren’t serious suggestions. Most of the discussion that has gone on is whether skimpy armor exists/how it exists or what have you. Most of what was posted seem to be either jokes or examples of skimpy armor existing in other games/media, not how it should exist in GW2.

Lastly, there were even arguments about males wearing certain types of armor “aren’t sexual” so that sort of contradicts your last comment. Not that I agree with those making such statements, but then I feel you’re exaggerating the other way. What is likely being asked for in this thread shouldn’t be much more revealing than anything we’d put females in and yet we shouldn’t be afraid to do so anyway if people aren’t going to bat an eye when females start showing more and more skin. Acting all squimish is just juvenile and makes your homophobia show.

If you’re not being serious or only half serious, just disregard my post.

I’m usually always serious.
It didn’t even occur to me the other class types, since I exclusively main a warrior, ankitten ot an altoholic… And as for heavy anyway, yeah I would like more form fitting stuff, since that’s what I like IRL.

Totally off topic, kinda, would love to see leather options for heavy, and I’m sure lighter classes would like some metal.

Also not homophobic, just sayin.
But yes, I gotcha.

Syzygy.5031:

I guess it’s meant to trigger the “nearly” reaction of scratch cards and such, and make me want to try more. For me, has the opposite effect.

Ahh I gotcha!

I got a Leaf of Kudzu a few days ago from the Mysterious Forge.
I am farming materials now for it, it seems pretty daunting.
To be honest, I don’t use bows. And even if I got a precursor that wasn’t usable by my prof, I still would make it, and appreciate it.

TL:DR; RNG might be RNG, but why do you spit in it’s face when it finally DOES grant an ascended/pre/whatever you want(but not exactly what you want).

Can you wear/use it? Yes/no. Then be content.

I have never complained about getting anything, and then I got a precursor, and I was excited.

RedStar.4218:

Omar Aschi Popp.7496:

I am laughing at the people(woman) here talking about being experts in bodybuilding, much less bodies.

Y’all smell of horrible insecurity. And by “y’all” I really mean like 3 people.
Fantasyworldsgonnafantasy.

Also to reiterate my position; skimpy armor on anything is lamekittenkitten.
Get a kittening life.
Go look at porn.
Keep your smut/twilight/50shades fantasies out of my videogames.

So basically the swimming pool is a big porn set ?

In case you didn’t know, not everyone constantly thinks about sex. Some players simply want their character to look good and show off the choice they made when creating them (tattoos, fur, light pattern).

I’m tired of having the same argument with people that skimpy and sexual aren’t the same thing. And regarding male armor, there’s a difference between asking crotchless pants and sort of low rise pants.

Except you are, you(not YOU) are needlessly sexualizing something.
People don’t go to the pool, to drool over peoples’ bodies. They go swimming.

That is the generalization of the word, skimpy (which for fun I just decided to look up the definition, and it’s not sexual, but that’s the association)

Everything about your post is correct.
Clearly my post wasn’t a jab at you, so I don’t see why you are huffing.
It was a jab at several others, who despite their wailing are the type I describe.

Maybe what I should have done was make my mockery of specific posts more obvious, and break for my thoughts on topic.

So, ON TOPIC

I can frequently be seen running Caudecus’ Manor with no chest armor on. You don’t get more showy than that, and so I fail to see this plight you think you have.

And if you’re wondering, I go through the dungeon pretty ok, and only when my party is cool with it, I haven’t noticed a big dip in time to complete(OMG U Y NO FULL ZERRRRRKKKKKK?!).

Edit:
Astral Projections.7320 Come on man!! Charr and silvary don’t count! Also in that context “skimpy” is the wrong word to throw around.

People who call me a guttermind/really sarcastic fantasy ruined guy; Have you kittening seen some of these suggested “armors” yeah okay. All media is already over sexualized as it is, I just don’t see the need for more, it’s unfortunate this deeply wounds you. On that note, I’m sorry for making fun of you, it’s just a knee jerk reaction. I make judgements based on generalization.

Erukk.1408: on the subject on Mancubus. Very easy.
Holographic Wings/ Spinal Blade Pack, only wear gauntlets and boots.
Done!

DaveyC.4398:

I would like to give perhaps a different perspective to the NPE. So to give a little background to this, I am not a new player. My first MMO was GW1 and have played others in between the two games.

MMOs in general have core concepts such as armour, weapons, upgrades, crafting, loot drops and countless other things that most players who are GW2 veterans or gamers who have played other MMOs will take their understanding of for granted.

So my Girlfriend decided that after a few years of moaning at me for playing GW2 all the time she would give it a try during the free trial. I ultimately brought her an account as it was in the sale.

My Girlfriend has no experience of an MMO, her typical computer games are things like Sim City and the odd PS4 or Xbox One game like Kinect Sport.
At first when she created a character and did her first starting levels, she was getting really into it. I followed her around in the low level areas trying to explain the basics like navigating, killing mobs etc.

At the end of her first few hours she seemed quite into the game. Yesterday she went back onto it and continued doing hearts until she hit level 10. At this point she had what can be described as a mini melt down as to how confusing the requirements are. She got very frustrated at not knowing what the armour types are for, what to do with loot, why we have bank storage, what to do with crafting materials, why we needed crafting materials, what the purpose of food buffs are and all of the things that a seasoned MMO player would know instinctively.

She felt that the game did not do a good job of explaining these elements during the initial game play.

Based on my girlfriends experience so far, I believe that the changes to the NPE are most definitely a good idea as having everything available from the get go would have been even more overwhelming.

I also believe that the NPE should introduce some of the points mentioned above at an earlier stage so her confusion could have been minimised.
She hasn’t rage quit yet but we will see how her next few days go.

I think the point I am trying to make with this post is that most people who are moaning about the changes are not new to MMOs or GW2 and should think about what it would be like to start this game with no understanding of the mechanics or MMOs in general.

I believe further changes could be made in order to help new players learn these concepts within the game, perhaps tutorials that could be accessed within the game rather than having to access the wiki.

OOOOOORRRRRRRRRR

ANET can include a kittening manual with the game LIKE GAMES USED TO.
And you READ.

Mini melt down? Is, is that a thing? In videogames?
Once I almost killed someone at work, I got kinda stressed, took an hour off.
Was kinda shaky.

[3 lines edited out, because I legitimately fear infractions now, thank anet]

Also Vayne and Phys
I don’t know what the fudge you guys are talking about, kinda, but as a new player last year and half ago, it NEVER occurred to me to spam 1.

Hell I didn’t even know autoattack was a thing!
When I first got “downed” I got so excited I was positively ready for lady company!

Now “Survivor” had more, I don’t know, pizazz?! I don’t know but it was AMAZING, instead of you know, just dying and rezzing as goes the STALE mmo routine.
And in this way, Anet did something new and unique and frantically fun!

But now people have “meltdowns”.
I wonder what will happen when they start working…

I hope it’s not at Starbucks.

(You are the enemy because you praise every invasive and intrusive change ever rolled out)

He does not praise the Trait rework. Even I don’t praise the Trait rework, other than to go “interesting concept, bad execution”.

Huh…
Then I am wrong in that regard.

Vayne.8563:

You say people who are against change are the enemies of games. I say more games probably die from devs listening to people than doing what they want.

Vayne, I thought you’d never admit it)))))

You mean, like NPE?
You mean like townclothes removal?
You mean like Queensdale?
You mean like the new “facebook” Trading Post?
You mean like every update ever?

Funny guy.

I thought you loved those things.

Those are all things people asked for. And so yes, you are right. “more games probably die from devs listening to people than doing what they want”

You are sadly very right.

Change is the enemy of comfort.
Change is the enemy of home.

Hitting the nail on the head.
There’s my ONE daily allowed post for you guys.

Edit: @ voting. I’ve had enough kittening democracy in this game to last me a lifetime, Evon and Kiel, was subversive and extortion(minis) enough.
Democrazy, geetee-effooohh(because acronyms that stand for bad words get you infracted and banned, true story)

New TP was build to(visually) please the lowest common denominator; facebook gamers

Seriously, did we need this gaudy, and blatantly childish(8+) interface to confirm sells etc?
What’s next, you level up and instead of your progress bar just flashing and the sound, you get a GIANT dialogue box blocking your screen saying “CONGRATULATIONS, You are now level X; You have gained a LEVEL!”

I don’t understand why you would clog the resources, and it IS graphic intensive, of the game and peoples computers(whom by most account are mostly running at base spec)… for a trivial and unappealing, and completely unnecessary update.

TL:DR; new TP looks like puke
would rather look at excel spreadsheets/10

If this thread was Elonian cotton, it’s count would be 10k.

Best thread ever.
Ever.
On this miserable forum.

People aren’t buying skittles tags to “show off” or blah blah blah -blah-bla.

People bought them EN MASSE before update. hundreds who never considered it before did it now because, why the kitten not. Might as well before price increase.

I am one of those people.

For months I (and sometimes several others) led low-population, un-organized, no TS Tequatl maps to victory. And many T5 Drytops, etc… But I only ever bought tag because I didn’t want to have to pay 200 more gold later if I ever decided to “show” map command.

As it is now, I STILL never tag up 95%. But I know I saved a bundle.

Rich Fuel.7253:

do you guyz post the food that you eat on facebook
or tell us in twiter that your trying out new shoes
or call your friends to tell them you just lost 1 kg
NO BODY CARES
i understand that there are post that are full of complains that Anet are getting some feedback out of them,
but what would any 1 expect to gain wen they say" well i played 2 years that game >>>>>>>> over there is better bye"
will our Good Byes or No Dont Leave will change anything?
P.S. i played for 2 years and still love this game like the 1st day of play

You just described 96% of every living thing on the internet(and also 40% of people on this planet).

So yeah, everybody cares. Fail post.
Funny guy.

PS, I am not one of those people.

I love this.

Also, PS, Hunting Lodge is our guildhall.

@ Wanz & Morsus, thanks for replying but I found out that if I put them back on to my main(the one who acquired them) they were sellable again. For some reason when you shift certain items, to characters who didn’t originally acquire it, they are not tradeable.

I appreciate you.

I have a serious question about the economy, and unfortunately am not allowed to create new threads…
I just logged on to my char carrying all my treasures I was hoarding and just realized I got like 12 items, all worth about 20-80 gold each are no longer sellable on TP.

What is this?!

Oh, the punchline, is that I am still given the option to BUY MORE from Trade Post.

What.
Is.
This?

This is totally on topic, so please, spare me your infraction.

Hey Tobias,

And you know what, I’ve never managed to be able to be around for Halloween in GW2 since launch. I didn’t care for the Spamadan shenanigans… I’ll be sure to be around this fall!

I was going to sardonically reply that the best thing about the GW2 community is that none of them are on the forums (I do like, like 40% of you tho)…

But this is nice.

I am happy for you.

Shriketalon.1937:

Greetings and Salutations!

As the second season of the Living Story progresses, there are numerous advancements in the mechanics to celebrate, but also some troubles and tribulations. One particular burr in the sandal of the storyline shows no sign of ceasing, and thus it seems fitting to talk about a lingering problem with the narrative. The Biconics.

My thesis is simple. The story should stop treating these side characters like protagonists.

The Biconics are not bad characters. Far from it, they are fairly witty and amusing most of the time, and their interactions can be quite enjoyable. But the Living Story has decided that they are the focal point of the entire game, shackling our main characters to these five strangers and declaring them to be the protagonists of the franchise. This is flawed. It does not make sense from a narrative perspective, and it won’t do the series any favors in presenting interesting and compelling stories in the days to come.

In keeping with my oddball format, I’d like to present six reasons why the Biconics are a problem, and offer an example from the Living Story Season 1 of magnificent storytelling as a model for future tales. Rather than interject any of my own speculation or fanfiction into the mixture, I’d like you to solely consider the characters from the game itself who could be at the forefront of the narrative between these two posts.

Ready? Here we go!

I loved every second of this, and I 2k% agree with Ho-Ho-Tron being the best character in the entire game. The entire GAME.

Man I was so peeved when Seraph were giving him a hard time during last Queens Jubilee.

cassius.5809:

Employees can also be kitten hats.

Just look at the forum staff.

Also for all those people defending the dev, I would ONLY do that if he was all “Hey bud, mind just moving out for like 6 seconds so I can screencap?”

Then, I would be cool with the dc, because seriously, be friendly and move.

But he didn’t ask.
He acted like a crying kitten.
Cry more.
Baby.

Is this even confirmed for truth?

PS, edit, I just looked at the link and laffed! I approve of this kind of dev trolling, which I don’t even consider trolling per-se! I really do believe devs do have a literal ownership/authority over the game world. Since, you know, they made it and all.

And you kittens have the kittening nerve to report my posts and get me infracted on a bi-daily basis for being racist against Charr.

Seriously, do you know how hard it is to explain to normal people(who don’t videogame) that I keep getting banned from a forum because of my racism towards a fictional race?!

…to which I promptly add “I mean, I don’t know what guildwars is… I like Lacrosse, and football”.

(I actually love lacrosse)

This is Joseph and the Technicolor Dream-coat, by the way.

proviticus.4183:

can I just point out that in this stupid contrived metaphor the pastries have never actually gotten any worse? Sure the owner create the shirts or whatever the hell your analogy is but the pastries remained of the same quality. The correct analogy would be that the owner started making new shirts but never made new pastries.

I respectfully disagree. The new pastries (Living Story) are, in my opinion, of significantly lower quality than those available at the grand opening (Guild Wars 2, circa launch).

dude, the ‘pastries’ that came out at launch are still in the game and are the same. This means your point is even worse. Because there are new pastries, but they’re not as good as the original pastries. So the owner isn’t only wasting their time making shirts. They’re also making new pastries. But you still prefer the old pastries. That’s ok, because the old pastries are still there. You said the pastries had gotten worse, and that’s false. There are only new pastries you do not like.

O really?

My favourite pastry was “Townclothes”
Do you want to keep going?

Wow…

Always the topics that are actually interesting and don’t have to do with RNG/hate-of-the-week just get lost in the shuffle.

115 views and no-ones got any input?
I could start a(nother) topic about how I hate Cashmere and Majoram, and BAM instant replies.

Danikat.8537:

When I was her age I would have loved GW2, and definitely preferred it to WoW. (Which is a shame because when I was 11 Warcraft 2 was one of my favourite games and I was convinced a Warcraft RPG would be the best thing ever.)

I also agree with the people who said unless she has a specific reason to want to play WoW get her to try GW2 first so you’re not paying for a sub on a game she might get bored with quickly.

But IMO the most important thing is to let her make her own decisions and remember that it’s more important that she’s having fun than that she’s doing things “right” or is good at the game.

My first RPG was Eye of the Beholder, when I was 8. I didn’t have a clue what I was doing and even at the time I knew I was terrible at it. I spent most of my time wandering in circles and I don’t think I ever got past the first two levels. But I loved playing it.

That inspired me to play Dark Sun, Lands of Lore, various Ultima games…it wasn’t until I was playing Baldur’s Gate and Ultima Online that I really began to think about and understand stats, weapon choices etc. It definitely made a big difference to how I played and what I was able to achieve in the games, but I think if someone had tried to explain all that to me earlier or had told me I could only use certain races/classes because they were the ‘right’ choice I would have lost interest.

(This goes for anyone incidentally, regardless of age. I was literally biting my tongue when my husband got GW2 and decided to start with an elementalist and a Mesmer because I knew he’d struggle more than if he chose a simpler profession. But I let him get on with it and even after he tried a warrior, guardian and thief the Mesmer became the one he took to 80 and uses for 90% of the game. If I’d pushed him to start with a warrior I doubt he’d ever have gotten there.)

Darksun

The world just doesn’t know…

Also my kids think it’s hilarious, they used to watch me play GW1 and they liked it when I used tonics to turn into stuff. Literally the ONLY reason I ever used that crap. I remember destroying a stack of bunny tonics from Nick because I have no patience for Party Animal(?)

Anyway, they’re under 6.

I need to know what that scribbled child’s drawing of what I think are a human and charr being friends is.

Like a paleontologist crying to God/Science/FSM/Real-Life Cosmic RNG, because HIS fossilized amberite mosquito didn’t drop, even though he spend 1700 hours and 19 years totally digging like everywhere.

That is EXACTLY what you’re doing.

It’s optional. Just stop.
That’s what you all told me when I disliked Drytop and laggy LS.
It’s optional.

I’m suggesting a change for the better of the game, thats what im doing. If they continue adding rng only weaps i’m pretty sure these posts will only pop up more and more XD. And I alrdy stated I stopped lol. Gave up on fractal weapons sometime ago. Almost finished with my first legendary becuz of it. Dont care about the bug weapons personally but similar concept. This is a game and its supposed to be fun.The Rng is still 0 fun and just frustrating for so many. Why do u cry against the idea of getting rid of pure rng? why is such a bad thing to allow weapons to be earned guarenteed over time?

But it is fun when in works in your/our favour.
You lie if you say otherwise.

Like, Pinnochio, a fib-fib, Fibberer!

Mireles Lore.5942:

I run ham/bow with knights armor in dungeons and fractals even though I know better.

I just can’t take asurans seriously, Its like I’m fighting a build-a-bear.

The fact that you can Michael Phelps it across a lake in full metal armor in this game still kinda bothers me.

I pretend that Mire Waypoint and the Mire Sea were named after me.

I love the map skyhammer, and love to camp the hammer room with “fear me” and “stomp”. Even though it doesn’t help my team win sometimes.

I go to great effort to camp in between zergs and home waypoints just to pick off some poor low levels just trying to get to the K-train on the other side of the map in EoTM. I know its unfair and cruel. I just like their futile attempts to flee.

In the buff.

I think scarlet was a great villain. Everyone hated her and wanted her to die.

Marjory > Kasmeer.

I probably like my 2nd in command more than I should for having met them in a video game.

I harbor probably the biggest troll in Yak’s Bend in my guild. Not because nobody else would take him or that hes a good and helpful player deep down, but because I like to watch him kitten people off that take this game way to seriously and have big but fragile egos. If you are in yaks bend and have met him, you know exactly who this kitten hat is. Yes, we know his a kitten and lambaste him on a regular basis.

Except I don’t use Trading Post. I play on exclusive drop-reliance. I sell to Merchants.

Maybe you’re talking to the wrongest person here because I have what seems to be a totally different mentality from both “lucky” and “rng hate” players.

There is no skin I desire. I get drops, and wear and equip what I like the look of best, out of what I am given. Wardrobe, to me, is unadulterated laziness.

To sum this up quite nicely, all you people are like lottery players protesting government/overseeing body to change the system because not enough of you are winning it big. In the lottery. And that’s just silly.

That is your personal choice to not use the TP. You can acquire your rare drops more reliably on tp.
The whole point of this post is so we dont have to play lottery. Cause some of us again dont like gambling and making it the only way to acquire something just makes me not want to bother with it. In real life i dont gamble or play the lottery ever. I earn my money from going to work :P I’d like this earnability for everything in the game.

Fine.

Trolling aside i never stated rng was a being out to get me.Rng cankittenover however! While progression doesnt. You put int he work you get the result.
Your example of using mystic forge is bad. Because u ignore the key fact that anything rare u get from it can be bought on the tp. Which means there is always progression as you make gold in game. Account bound rng=0 progression which in turn=frustration(or possibly yaaaaay im so luky).

Gw2 endgame revolves around skins. Anet is basically dangling kool stuff we would like to have and making us play slot machines for it. Thats fine thats its optional but if you open your mind and put yourself in others shoes you shoudl see why people get upset by this stuff! People are over putting in tons of time becuz a certain desired skin and constantly getting nothing with no progress. Why woudlnt u want to change this? (trolling bak on) Maybe you will have a change of heart when anet releases a weapon set u love, u start the gamble and u dont get a thing..ever ;D harharhar. Then someone who put 100x less work gets it right away. Does that sound fun? If you didnt alrdy give up out of rng resentment you coudl sell your soul and still not get the skin before gw3 comes out! And btw, I’m not lookign for handouts just tired of gambling. I rather spend my time on guarenteed rewards over time rather than possible but not likely rewards. Ill never attempt to get rng account bound stuff again. and I’d like to see account bound rng weaps vanish fromt this game adn never return :P and im willing to bet only those special snowflakes who think there kool for being luky wants rng to stay.

Sytherek.7689:

In a game where a primary goal is cosmetic, cosmetic matters. What else beyond cosmetics and achievements does GW2 offer? The game is openly focused on appearances. So appearances matter, or the game loses one of its major goals.

Cosmetics? You gotta be fudging me. I’ve been wearing Heritage Armor off and on or mixmatched with scale since day 1 because everything else is a treatise in laughable kittenry(flamboyancy).

So much Marjoram…
Tastes awfully Holden in here…

Also if anyone was wondering, I would only ever consider hanging with Braham and Taimi. Maybe Rox, maybe. We could all go play pranks on people in Claypool, like that rube Curtis! But then we’d kitten some kitten up in Clovenhoof Pass, cause me and this Centaur, Ulgoth, you might have heard of him… Yeah we do this thing where he’s all “aarhrgrjghr” and I’m all “DIE JAGUAR!”… It’s really fun.

Then Braham and I would make disgusting sexual remarks about Cashmere, but only if Taimi is not in earshot, cause that’s just inappropriate. Then we would do the RIGHT thing and bury Bellinda, with some kittening dignity, and tell her mom.

Oh and also if Logan ever comes around we so gotta kittening bail!(also, you didn’t see me)
But if Eir was around that be ok.

Wait, isn’t that like Braham’s mom?

Hey guys, hey, guys.

Guys, hey!

It’s optional

You don’t have to do it.

Seriously, help me understand how you can, with a straight face, tell me Bellinda isn’t ten times the woman Major-pain is.

Oh, that’s easy. Because we wouldn’t know. The amount of exposure Belinda had is minimal. But that wasn’t the point. Neither was the whole issue with “We didn’t know her enough to care”. Again, not the point. Marjory cares.
This is a way to remove Marjory – who players seem to dislike a lot if you listen to the forums and I think ANet is making the mistake of doing just that – from the team temporarily. Nothing more. Nothing less. Pretty obvious too, isn’kitten

Okay, listen.
In the minimal amount of exposure Belinda had, I actually liked(respected) her infinitely more that that loser Marjorane!

In that small, miniscule, teeny-weeny window of us getting to know Bellinda, we can surmise ALL that kitten, that I put in my first post. While also pointing out all disgusting failings of her dreg sister.

If drugs and alcohol played a more prominent role in Tyria, you can bet your sweet kitten Marjoryjane would be the next one “tangled” in “vines”… Or hardcore chems, courtesy of what would SURELY be of Asuran manufacture.

Forget Guildwars2, if you met these people in real life, seriously, which one would you hang out with?

To be honest, I did get attached to Belinda (more than Kasmeer en Marjory anyway)…

Yeah, she was way hotter.

Majory is ugly.
Annoying.
Pretentious.
Needy.
Weak.
A loser.

Tell me, what’s there to like in a woman like that?

Bellinda is attractive.
Has a real job with actual payroll.
Is a soldier, slugging it out for her nation.
Clearly takes care of the irresponsible careless mutt of the family.
Takes care of her mom.
Wears armor.
Has Canthan sword.
Strong.

Yep, a character should be judged on her looks alright. And not to mention a character’s worth is measured by hotness level.

Do you even read?
Marjory has exceedingly little admirable qualities in a human being, much less an ally.

Seriously, help me understand how you can, with a straight face, tell me Bellinda isn’t ten times the woman Major-pain is.

The fact that her character model is better to look at was a funny unintended bonus that for the purposes of that post I used.

Hey guys, guys!

Guess what!

Precursors, and Legendary weapons, are optional.
No one is _forcing you to do the content, or grind for it, or stress over it.

It’s optional
: ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Oh my goodness Tobias and Darklace!!

My point was that it’s just dumb to not want to explore(anything) because no tangible rewards. The visuals are the reward. Hell, I’m so [OCD?] that I have to find a nice cosy place to stand in before I use Hero panel.

Also for the record, Tobias that sounds like my cup of tea.
I just used the Canyon because I always hear people go on and ooonn about it, and Niagra Fals, and the Eiffel Tower, and other kitten I could care a less about.

“Hey Omar, wanna come with me to see the Grand Canyon?”
“No, no chests there. Plus it’s like Dry Top”
“What…?”

…I actually am totally uninterested in the Grand Canyon, but like replace that with the Black Forest, some Euro castle, Dubai etc…

I hope Anet makes mounts.

BUT

Like a dolyak, and maybe a horse.

AND

Dolyak moves 75% slower, has high AR, and cannot be over burdened.
Horse moves 33% faster, but reduces total inventory capacity by 80%(or “x” ammount of slots) because horses aint mules assface.

You should have to feed your mounts or they DIE, you should give them water, or they DIE, you should have to pay a monthly 3gold to a local blah blah blah in your major city because regulations.

Then we have “mounts” and the “mounties” are pacified.
And we all laugh, because it’s totally not what they wanted.

Can’t have it every which way. I vote for realistic mounts.

Oh and horse cost like a jillionz of gold, because real life.
And if enough of your horses die because you suck, or take them through hostile teritory, the stable where you purchase them BANS you and neveramountagain.jpeg

Because you are a BAD BAD owner!

Demonts.4593:

People don’t criticize ArenaNet because they don’t give “enough content” People criticize them because they compare Guild Wars 2 to the original Guild Wars . So lets not compare the whole life of GW2 to an expansion of the original GW. The original Guild Wars had a business model of a paid expansion every 6 month. Gw2 has a business model of Updates of a lesser amount of content every 2 weeks. So add up 12 LS updates (6 months) and compare it to an expansion of the original Guild Wars.

Now there are always those people who say “well the LS is free” but you have to take into consideration that the original Guild Wars didn’t have many micro transactions (Gem Store). So the player base should be supporting the content by Micro Transactions instead of the price of an expansion.

If you want to compare 6 months Gw2 content to an expansion if Guild Wars the expansion is a lot more. But the thing we have to look at is the cost of production. If you know how video game production works Gw2 cost significantly more due to no world limitations (jumping of walls.) being ale to see other players. But Idk how much it cost and there income and I can’t say.

In conclusion all the criticism comes from the standards of an expansion. My opinion is the content we get in 6 month is not as good as an expansion but who know there have been rumors of a 2015 expansion and if this is true Anet you nailed it. If I get content every 2 weeks and a paid expansion every two years that would be a great business model.

I treat gw2 as a completely separate game with no basis for comparison.
Also I don’t care about expansions. I don’t like change.

Wanna keep telling me the reasons I criticize Anet some more?
Jaguar.

kitten ..

+1 this a billion times!
And you’re a kittenty excuse for a videogamer if you didn’t think the exact same thing as your FIRST thought.

Anyone ever consider there might be something wrong with Taimi?
I mean really wrong…

She likes Scarlett a little too much…

Think about it

Herr der Friedhoefe.2490:

Yeah well, it’s a jumping puzzle. So, did you really want to play it all? I don’t.

I finished the story on one character and that’s enough of that. I see no need to go back for the extra possible achievement points or to finish the map. Falling to my death is just not that interesting.

Yes, but why is this happening, and regardless of achievements, I would like to finish the basic story instance. I’m debating just not playing this season at all, because I’d rather miss out on content than look at all this great stuff and know I can’t have any of it. And not because lack of skill, but some bs tech kitten on Anet’s end(I assume cause my specs are golden).

And Thanathos, if it’s hardware it would affect the game, this is JUST drytop.

Still no response whatsoever from Anet after submitting ticket(s).

FPS is a joke, cannot move, cannot even walk into quicksand to suicide…

EVERY other map ingame regardless of population etc runs fine. I can run EotM on MAX graphics and sail thru w/zerg.

Have graphics on lowest settings and get 3-6 FPS on drytop, and not just map, story instances. I can’t even play the first kittening part of this LS(at Cornered).

I keep hearing about this this called Entangled, and I wish I could maybe one day find out what that is.

Serisouly zero word from kittening Anet,

Someone, explain to me, instead. Thank you.

Meerak was an annoying preacher.

Speaking as if he was better than others…

That may be, but at least I remember him and think “I wonder what that guy is preching in UW now…”

What I don’t think is “I wonder how Logan, my boss and buddy, is doing”

Also, Meerak was right about EVERYTHING.

So, there’s all these posts or threads about why, she’s offensive to handicapped, why she doesn’t represent the handicapped enough, why she’s whiny and blah blah blahbbbgheerk…

Jokes on you chumps!! Funfact; I only know she’s disabled because I read it on here, from you people kittening about it. Is that Irony or what?!!!! Taimi is the ONLY LS character I enjoy, and it never occurred to me, but I prolly am unawares because I came mid S1 and missed the finish.

Anyway, now I know.
And I enjoy the character even more(I understand the leg-pain reference and know it’s not about fighting Scarlett, which I missed at LA). I’m not armchair activist cheering Anet of their daring and refreshing stance to add a disabled person to represent blah blah bu-blah… Because I have my own life. I like how, yes, despite the BONUS of talking about these things, we just have a disabled character, it’s interesting in the way that it’s not so generic in the video-game world.

Also I didn’t know she was a kid.

When I was reading the speechbubbles after the battle of LA, I was all “Taimi and the Norn are gonna do it!” …not so much.

This all reminds me of that South Park episode with the dodgeball and the freak nurse.

Jinn Kazuma.2163:

Logan is plenty cool. Just check out this outtake clip of him taking candy from a child. (The fun starts at about 0:19)

https://soundcloud.com/arenanet/guild-wars-2-voiceover

Okay I gotta admit that was funny.

Also the post wasn’t about Logan being cooler in terms of what Olba is saying… It was a series of similar comments about the Iconics/biconics/bionicles that kept getting Stasi 2.0’d.

Logan himself isn’t terrible, but Destiny’s Edge as a whole just isn’t that fantastic… And Windu, the fact that I can remember the full name of a worthless npc with 3 lines of dialogue from 2009, but can’t remember half of the people in GW2, a game I [will be playing as soon as I get off here] is kinda my point.

These are disposable characters.
Totally off-topic, but I find TV today to be the same…

Humans more memorable than Logan: Meerak the Shouter, Seymon, Simon, Watchman Rebec, The guy who talks about his pregnant wife in the Hunting Lodge.

Something about that statement keeps getting it deleted.

I am being respectful AND constructive because I want to help you make make him a better character.

:)))))

also you are all pumas, and cheetahs and some of you I bet are jaguars.

Why are you jaguars?
