Guild Wars 2

Were you fighting at melee? She fires a slow moving vortex that sucks you in and drains your HP so you have to stay at range and avoid it (or destroy the projectile). But yeah, that wasn’t a fun fight.

I am confused, you complain the NPCs didn’t recognize you and proceed to provide a screenshot as evidence. And then you say dialogue with an NPC does not count anyway?

The images you link were taken after you defeated the malfunctioning Watchknight, right? NPCs tend to revert to a somewhat default state after events are done.

If you had spoken with them before talking to Jennah, you’d see this:

Rox – Look who’s here! Now it’s a party.
Braham – Here we are again, huh?
(and I wasn’t in the Molten Facility to begin with)

As far as the Tower is concerned, they are hallucinating, and you might be too.

Rosen Myst.7641:

Okay… according to the letter I received, it sounded like I needed to go to Black Citadel or Hoelbrak. I saw the info in patch notes about refugees in Lion’s Arch, but it wasn’t clear that’s where we should start.

It’s not where you should start. If you go the Black Citadel and talk to the Refugee Coordinator there he will tell you about people moving to Lion’s Arch.

DancinPuppeh.8421:

… I don’t have a Guild, I don’t play on getting a guild.

Get one, if only for the guild bank.

On topic – I don’t really have issues playing solo, unless I’m running an event chain which suddenly turns into a group event (hello, Champion Modniir Overlord) and there’s no one around. I live off of junk I sell to vendors, and I have no issues with money.

Zaxares.5419:

Wurm projectile attacks DO sometimes count twice, if you dodge at exactly the right moment.

The right moment being when the stone is in the air, which is like a second or two, if you stand far enough. I don’t recall it ever not counting twice.

Wurms are better for daily dodges, every stone dodged counts twice and their attack rate is quite slow (especially those Ice Wurms’).

She’s standing on a carpet, you don’t need shoes for that. And walking barefoot is awesome, you don’t know what you’re missing.

You’d have them close a game for hundreds of thousands of players who enjoy it just so a principle would be uphold?

Aren’t ghosts tied to the place where they died? (Not to mention the other things like no interest in current events and hardly any acceptance in the world of the living.)

DenFremmede.6980:

I believe that any suffixes in – sex usually refer to the Saxon lands (example: Wessex = Western Saxon land).

In England, yes. We’re in Tyria, for all we know Kessex meant something in Old Krytan. (Or it’s just a made up word)

Jelle.2807:

Huh weird, tightly woven leaves you say. The purpose of leaves is to absorb sunlight and facilitate photosynthesis, it doesn’t really make sense for leaves to be woven like that…

Have you ever seen a cabbage?

HERO.2057:

Sialor.7396:

Magic. Or unobtanium.

The Core reference?

Avatar, actually. I don’t think there were floating rocks in the Core.

Magic. Or unobtanium.

(I don’t think people have ever counted on their toes.) I’m guessing they use octal system, but I have nothing to base it on. I’d also assume they use binary for their golems and computers.

There is a little shield/moon thingy hanging from the wall, that’s all I’m afraid. By the way (alternate path spoiler)if you'd made the other choice you'd end up killing Tiachren as well

ratex.3297:

the idea is very good for sure, but I would not prioritize it above many fixes and upgrades
that we need at the moment!!
eg able to preview the items in the trading post seems more necessary, simple to make and
is a long-term upgrade ..
there are many more small details that added to the game will provide a better experience
but I think the team should focus on the long term rather than in small seasonal events ..

There is more than one team you know

Gaianus.5324:

The same reason cultures with a deep rooted connection to Christianity name their children Christian names- like… well, Christian, Joshua, David, Mary, Joseph, Esther, etc.

The Sylvari have an intense connection to nature and, well, plants. Their entire culture is built around it, so, yes, you’re going to run into a lot of plant/nature-focused names. Seems pretty obvious, to me.

But the Sylvari don’t have parents that would “impose” names upon them.

Ermmm, in a way they….do. Us, the players. I have yet to meet a character that chose his/her own name O.O

But we don’t exist in Tyria Players who don’t treat their character like, well, characters notwithstanding.

Well, there is that Sylvari maiden who travels with her dog … *fingers crossed*

Feycat.4370:

I could go on listing names but it just goes on and on. Why bother to appropriate Celtic names and then ignore the way they’re pronounced?

Well you can’t blame Caithe not pronouncing her name in a proper Gaelic way, she never heard of Ireland.

Rosen Myst.7641:

Maybe I’m the only one who feels this way; but I would have expected to at least see some mention of the Lich Lord being defeated by a “group of heroes.” If such a reference exists, I haven’t seen it.

Make your way to Rurikton in the Reach and you’ll find what you seek. In the southern corner there is a pair of scholars that do sometimes mention a certain group of heroes.

People don’t seem to remember us. Should they though? How many people knew we saved the world? And by people I of course mean humans. But even if they knew, do people have any particular reason mentioning us? How often do you talk about Genghis Khan?

Ravager Hughesy.1328:

These are sentient plants magically spawned by a tree somehow and they’re already the size of a full grown person …

That’s like saying you were born already the size of a baby.

and already know English perfectly and exactly how to do everything, and they share a hivemind Dream.

Not English, not everything and not hivemind (yes I am nitpicker).

Also, you’re in a world where some people can summon undead and throw fireballs/bolts of lightning. Because kittening magic.

So?

You can add Mystic Coins to that (or at least you could, once upon a time) but that doesn’t make a complete recipe either.

Delimor.9864:

The place where Droknars Forge lied now has lush forests. What?

We call it Dragon-induced climate change

cherrie.8907:

To make it more clear, as some people already pointed out I want to know when you complete the initiation and get the banner, not just join the order.
Thanks for your replies so far

I see. The thing is when you join an order you are being referred to as an Initiate, and that is the initiation I thought you were talking about.

At around level 50, after you complete your racial-sympathy mission.

You must have been really unlucky. I’ve done at least six events there and that’s not counting anything related to the meta-event in the western half (that would be at least another six).

Sartheris.8456:

When was the last time someone invited you to a party just to help them kill something or help them with event? Mine was never.

Never.

When was the last time you helped someone kill something without being invited? Mine was yesterday.

If I remember correctly you don’t speak with the Tree, you just have to get Trahearne near her to start the dialogue.

We do have spoiler tags you know.

And I should also point out the name of the thread should inform other people what the thread is about

It’s a stone with hole in it. If that’s enough for you …

For what it is worth to me the Fountain from PotC kinda looks like the Guardian of Forever.

I picked one in Bloodtide Coast that looks like a heavy armor helmet, which I guess is a bug since it doesn’t cover my mouth at all.

Apparently it’s called Plated Armor:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Plated_armor

Well if only ANet could cure my apple allergy…

Best NPC ever for sure (or at least for the time being). I especially liked him during the quaggan story, he started off saying the we needed to teach the quaggan how to swear properly since “foo” isn’t going to cut it on his team. At the end of the story he himself was saying “coo” and “foo”.

I am always drawn to non-human races (the less humanoid the better) so I would like to play as a Tengu (although I don’t think heavy armor would look good on them)

Anyway, every lore thread can use pieces of dialogue: (this happens at the gate in Caledon Forest)

Hayato: Here’s an idea: let’s knock on the humongous gate door, then hide and see what they do when they open up and no one’s there.
Caromi Scout: Please don’t talk to me for the remainder of the shift.

Probably increasing your PvP rank, since it’s a PvP armor

(And by the way you should name your thread something like “Anyone knows where to get this armor?”, so that people know beforehand)

IsaacSin.1374:

The title of the event is “Defeat Ulgoth the Modniir and his minions”, the boss’s name is “Champion Modniir Ulgoth”, and after the event is over Captain Edwards says “With the Ulgoth dead, the Modniir forces are broken.”

It is quite confusing, no?

Modniir is the name of the tribe, still confusing?

FelixTheFox.8590:

Male Asura, however, do not end their names with vowels.

Actually they do:
Jonno, Kudu or Zu are guys.

Redean.1539:

So do I refer to myself as an Asura Elementalist or an Asuran Elemenetalist?

I’m not a linguist but I’d say the first – you are an Asura who is an Elementalist. In the second case you’d be an Elementalist who is trying to make an important distinction regarding his race.

AresOnasis.4703:

I’m the Commander of the pact, I’m a Lightbringer of the Order of Whispers. I’m an Asura Savant…

While I agree with you, and to top it off there are some NPCs who act like you’re BFFs even though you’ve never met them, the fact that you’re Savant wouldn’t necessarily travel far from Rata Sum, and the Order of Whispers is a secret organization.

SciChronic.3846:

LA is way more that 100yrs old. It was the capital of Kryta in GW1 and had been for hundred of years, ever since the White Mantle had taken control, until the events of GW1: Prophecies cast them out.

I was counting the time it took to build it again, the old LA is almost completely under the sea.

It may be worth pointing out that the white patches are actually burning.

Void.4205:

I am wondering something very simple. What is the thinking behind the anti-farm code in GW2? I would expect the bugs to be a bigger issue now.

The people fixing the bugs and the people developing the anti-farm code are not necessarily the same group

gduber.9756:

Let me get this straight…

DE: a repeating event that typically spawns mobs that drop loot.

Grub Slinging Giant: a respawning mob that spawns mobs that drop(ped) loot.

I guess I missed how that was an exploit. So in theory, there will come a day where mobs in DEs won’t drop loot at all in order to curb the acquisition of mats…along with the already-impletmented anti-farming measures? Ouch.

It’s an exploit if you’re keeping the Giant alive as long as possible so that you’d get way more grubs than you should if you fighted it “properly”.

I don’t want to lessen your national pride but there are other Celtic languages besides Welsh upon which are the Sylvari names based.

“Environmental” damage sources? (Like the perpetual carpet bombing in the south of Dredgehaunt Cliffs) What was the event?

You are applying “human constraints” to a race that isn’t human.

Yeah sure, the Grove might look small, but all the other cities are hundreds of years old (even Lion’s Arch is almost hundred). The Grove is 25 and was built with limited knowledge of architecture that could have been barely applied to plants anyway.

Salacious.7358:

from school – mountains don’t change.

That’s a lie-to-children. Mountains change, just very slowly (with exceptions such as volcanic activity or – like was pointed out above – an Elder Dragon).

Cinder.4865:

Wait, why should I be glad this is Tyria and not Middle Earth? I’m confused.

Because the “common populace” can’t seem to wrap their heads around the fact that it is many Maiar but one Maia (and Noldo, Sinda, …). And that is the easy part
