Guild Wars 2

Thanks locoman, this did the trick!

I have multiple level 80 characters, yet I’ve been out of the game for a loooooong time. In the past when there was a new part to the living story, you would get some mail or special markers on the map. So I’ve come back to a ton of changes outside of the living story, but no mail, no markers for living story. At this point, I really don’t know where to go or who to talk to.

Thanks in advance for any help and assistance!

I thought Buttergate 2012 was over? I only got 4 sticks after 6 hours of play yesterday compared to nearly 100 something the day before.

grumbles Half of Hoelbrak want’s to chuck you off the dang balcony, you crazy coot! I’ve a mind to start a pool for the person to do it first!

Humpday is almost over folks, Friday is right around the bend!

I must’ve spent a good 15 minutes trying to find some way to swipe, keep or transform that gear so I could have it after the quest.

That makes two of us! Haha I was like can I…uhh make off with this gear? Hrmmm. I don’t care if I can’t use it for anything other than in town, I want it!

RumDrum, nice answer. But it was a rhetorical question

D’oh! I wasn’t sure, I questioned it a few times before typing a reply, oh well chalk it up to true Tuesday is it 5PM yet boredom then. =D

Zorby.8236:

Would a hunter be ok with it? Most hunting I’d say is done with a hunting-animals (usually dogs nowadays). I’m not a real hunter so feel free to correct me

I think the question would be more would the pet be ok (sometimes killing kin)?
In any case, I also feel Norn to be the most fitting Ranger

I’m not 100% sure I’m understanding what the question is, but let me see if I can answer what I think it is. I no longer hunt either (I used to quite a few years ago) but I still have friends and family that do (and many that actually train dogs) for a variety of reasons. Moving on.

Are you asking if the companion (your example a dog) would be ok with the hunt, sometimes killing kin? Honestly it’s all in the training, it’s in harnessing and nurturing instincts that are natural to them that have almost been bred out of them (perhaps domesticated out of them would be better phrasing) through positive reinforcement and “games”. Many “sporting” dogs whether retrievers, spotters, treeing or the likes love what they do, they love the thrill of it and they enjoy doing it thoroughly. Having said that, there are also some that just don’t take to it as readily as others.

Now in the land of Tyria, a make believe land we have a multitude of companion choices as rangers. If you’ll note we can only tame “juvenile” companions of species, we bond with them, we adventure with them we take them with us…we spend time with them. Just like a trainer would do with a “sporting” dog in real life, do they “mind” that the boar they’re killing is of the same species? I don’t think so, but I can’t say for certain, I think they’re just doing as they’re bid by their “master” they’ve come to trust and love.

It’s easy to read to much into anything, but I hope I understood your question or what you were trying to ask, and provided some sort of helpful answer.

I am a norn ranger and I would say they are probably one of the most fitting races for the profession! Eir was my inspiration actually. and due to the fact they are very in tune with the natural world and have animals running all over their cities as well as animal spirits that they revere.

I also play a norn ranger and couldn’t agree more. It has actually become my favorite character which was quite a surprise to myself…but yes a norn ranger is very fitting lore wise. While the Norn show reverence for the animal spirits and animals they also use animals as guides and companions, they further more realize everything has it’s place in a greater circle. (Think of Druidic, Nordic, Native American culture’s/practices as an example if you will)

As I put it to a friend, breasts beards, booze, and tattoos…what’s not to love! Enjoy your puny human!

I have almost all Norns exclusively. I just can not seem to get into the other races. However I won’t derail the thread with that non-sense. So here we go, my Norn’s.

I also have a Norn thief, and a Norn ele but I don’t seem to have any screen shots of either of them yet.
