Guild Wars 2

Kodan are the defintion of bad kitten I don’t care what anyone else says, but the kodans are just so awesome. I also hate the krait the most, but they look awesome.

They’re obligated to do it, but don’t, why? I don’t know, it’s their own fault that we lost it with their rollbacks.

I know it sucks and all, but I do not believe they’re obligated to do anything.

Ya they are when it’s their own fault and not ours.

They’re obligated to do it, but don’t, why? I don’t know, it’s their own fault that we lost it with their rollbacks.

You start off the quest at a place where you have to walk through a path that’s about 3 inches wide while being blown off by wind that starts up about every 2 seconds… the path takes just about the exact same amount of time to walk across. Oh did I also mention it’s a bumpy one where you have to jump. TERRIBLE QUEST.

I had the exact same problem… I died about 20 times I’d say. There is that other skill you could use which was basically health drain on the enemy which damages them and heals you, but the damage on that is so low it took forever to kill them…

Luciferx.6829:

not to de-rail thread but I love the english Dc.‘s who love to find fault with everyone’s typeing skills.. I mean really? if thats all they can do, maybe they need a new hobby.

PS My spelling sucks, my grammer is below par, but guess what?
My IQ is 163 so does my lack of writing ability make me dumb? only to those who can’t read between the lines.

IQ doesn’t say everything about someones intelligence, just saying, no offense intended.

Jonny.6013:

I can’t pass by a Skritt without applying a slap.

It’s an unreasonable hatred stemming from my experiences in my first foray into the beta. I chanced upon a Skritt bottle lobber who was about three levels above me and I was unprepared for the encounter. Now, despite knowing better and obtaining sufficient levels on my main to handle Skritt in copious amounts in Queen’s Forest, I experience a kill or be killed reaction that ensures carnage will ensue whenever they’re around.

I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve escorted Slim Mikhart on his mission to blow up their cave support.

And still they return. Still they plague me…

And some people want them as a playable race. :P

Bump! must have!

zogrim.6925:

Krait. All of them.

This and barracudas… Dear god the barracudas…

melkathi.5203:

Kodan and Tengu seem to be the two races many people feel most likely to become playable in a future expansion. Both come with the possibility of adding a racial city hub too and a large enough population to justify loads of adventurers.

Quagan and Skritt, have the strange speech patterns, which makes them unlikely choices, as there probably would be fear that their speech would cause fatigue during the personal story. Add to that that skritt would have Skrittsburg as a capital which does not lend itself for the way the personal story is structured.
Of course new races could have home instances not in a racial capital city, but for future new players who join the game with direct access to the new races that could be confusing.
Quaggan seem problematic due to their amphibian nature.

Hylek seem an unlikely adition to playable races as they are organised in small independent tribes if I am not mistaken, which would make explaining the large numbers of adventurers difficult.

On top of that, I doubt any race that is represented as a possible ally in the personal story line will be added as a playable race.

Even though it is a difficult task it is possible to add them into the story. :P It’d just take a little bit more effort to do so. ;D

bwillb.2165:

Speaking of stealth, there is seemingly extended thief invisibility, or possibly a cheating group of players (sometimes my and others’ health drops to almost nothing before anything pops on the screen). This is where I question when and if the given powers end and cheating begins

This isn’t directly related to the thief. It can happen with any class, and quite often does. The code that determines what should be visible is really buggy and lags behind a lot, resulting in things that should be visible not showing up. You can have an entire zerg invisible and they have no control over it.

As for your other complaints, all I can really say is learn to counter better. If you’re playing in a group, that build will be fairly useless against you unless your group just isn’t paying attention at all. It’s extremely squishy and relies heavily on locking down a single target with venoms.

Edit: There is ONE valid issue with the thief though. There seems to be something that causes Mug to do ridiculous amounts of damage, like 9000 damage when it normally does like 600 (or a couple thousand on a crit). Not sure what triggers it though.

I don’t think you’ve fallen victim to this. It just as the OP says and on the extended visibility part. From what I could gather there is apparently a bug/glitch or whatever going on for the thieves where they can elongate the duration of invisibility. It’s not that the lag is making them load later than they’re suppose to, how do I know? Because one has done the same to me as well, he went invisible in front of me and then did the same.

Sable.1603:

If you found a way to make money with karma, they would ban you. Then nerf it.

That’s exactly what I’ve heard of them doing lol.

Redfeather.6401:

Gamefaqs boards did a poll on the most hated game race.
Humans were ranking top place and Kodan had not a single vote last I checked it. XD

HECK YA, now that’s what I’m talking about lol. Kodans are just too epic.

Deith.7596:

Kodans and Quaggans as playable race. Shut up and take my money!

This exactly lol.

mechasauce.1309:

Hylek…i want to be Mr.Toad!

Oh hey looks it’s old man kermit. xD

dpandakun.3174:

Dolyak as a humanoid character should be very interesting though! Just like the Kodans

Actually that is very intriguing. I would love someone to make fan art of that. That is a very interesting concept.

para.9351:

I WANT TO BE A DOLYAK.

LOL, should be an animal you can use to ram gates instead. That would be interesting xD.

They need to add more with karma though… Karma just keeps coming in, but nothing to spend it on.

shingui.4197:

Screw the Kodan, i want to play as a Largos.

.. or a quaggan ofc.

WHAT?! No way man Kodan all the freaken way.

I’m enjoying this game, but I hate the cap. Respect to the OP, this was very well written.

I love you OP and this reminds me of this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBddZ1uwtsk

Sekin.7803:

The very first thing I do EVERYDAY when I log into the game… is to click the mail icon and DELETE all the mails sent by them gold sellers.

Some reason I haven’t been having problems with the mail, but I hear a lot about it lol.

Adzy.8370:

id rather have Anet focus on more pressing issues…

We all dude, I know how ya feels. This suggestion was for the future :P. Come on man admit you want them too. xD

I’m loving the game as well and people complain, but I’ll be patient and see what there is to come and hope for the best.

Lol, I love the samething as well. I just love how you’re just walking by random NPC’s then a conversation just starts off and sometimes they’re just so funny or at times they turn into a world event which is cool too. :P

Redbyte.4897:

Its interesting those bears are mentioned, with way some are labeled as somthing like “Visitor” and way they just look, i really wouldent be suprised if they were added in future.
I could be wrong but to me way they look just screams “future race!” xD

Now that you mention it, heck yea they do. I so hope you are right on that. They are so B.A

Come on guys admit it, they’re freaken B.A. I would so love to play as them. Especially the Kodan. Anyone else with me?!

Those Polar Bear dudes, are freaken bad * and should be playable. Anyone else that agrees? It’d be so awesome to play as them. Those Tengu’s are awesome too.

Read all of that and well done OP you got across all the points really accurately, like 100%. If only game developers were like you, then games would be so much better.
