I think it merits further investigation. Maybe we should go have another chat with the tree and ask what she knows? I mean, it’s not that out of line for the (functionally former although still technically current) commander of the pact. We’ve done it before.

In fact, how come nobody ever asked the tree about scarlet? Or did we? I don’t seem to recall ever quizzing the tree on that subject.

Recommendation: Every update, have your Sylvari PC go to the Pale Tree to get more info. She doesnt’ give this info to non-Sylvari. You’ll also notices that your salad won’ t give this info to Jory and Kasmeer either. (evil LOL)

During Battle for Lion’s Arch, Sylvari players could go to the Pale Tree and ask her about Scarlet. After Scarlet died, PC Sylvari could go to the Pale Tree and get a response about the situation.

For this update, Sylvari PCs can go to Mama Tree and ask her about the elder dragons.

I played the instances with my Sylvari and completely missed all this. What sort of information was held back from Jory and Kasmeer?

Hard to tell to be honest. Some Sylvari are just total goofballs by nature. cough Carys, Sieran cough

Who was Aerin? Many who didn’t take that much opportunity to re-explore the Labyrinthine Cliffs upon the zephyrite’s return might have missed this now notable NPC entirely. He seems to pop up entirely out of the blue from the opening to Season 2.

He actually was quite busy this last living story patch, but let’s flash back to the first time the zephyrites showed up. Aerin was down at Bazaar Docks as an NPC you could speak with. All he had to say was, “These Zephyrite people are truly amazing to have created such a mysterious airship home.” That’s all Arenanet wrote for him at the time.

At their second arrival, Aerin was absolutely -GIDDY- to get aboard and become a fellow zephyrite. Once getting permission to become a member, he proceeds to run absolutely amok on board just losing his mind over how absolutely amazing everything is! So I decided to take screenshots, simply because I thought this chucklehead was adorably hilarious and wanted to save it for posterity. O_O

Little would I have guessed what would happen next and he’d actually become an important plot point. What I find interesting that the hints in Season 2 implies that Aerin was Soundless, yet this doesn’t really seem to be the case when he’s gibbering with himself on board the ship. He’s actively begging for the Pale Tree’s guidance during one dialogue and he even says his journal is for those who do not have access to the Dream. Was he driven mad in the middle of the ride to Maguuma or was he already possessed with terrible plans? Did he try to become Soundless during the trip? You be the judge.

Screenshots of all the dialogue are here:

I too am adding my voice. The tonic solution is really going to mess up a lot of the looks I’ve put together. I do a lot of town clothes mix and matches for RP clothes for a lot of my alts. I made screenies and labeled the items the avatars are wearing.

As much as I’d love for my mesmer to wear his reading glasses in combat, I’d rather keep the ability to wear my mix-match town clothes looks. If this means keeping town clothes and combat armor separate, I can live with that. I really, really don’t like the tonic solution.

Race: Sylvari
Sex: Male
Class: Ele
Armor: [Knight’s Apprentice Pants]

The pant legs portion of the armor item have a glitched texture on them. It looks like it’s using a very skewed portion of the avatar’s skin texture instead of the armor texture.

Also, despite wearing the matching set [Knight’s Apprentice Coat] with the [Knight’s Apprentice Pants], there is a noticeable gap between the two meshes in the back where the two should meet.

The set’s cowl doesn’t have any effect on the pants display. Appearance is the same whether I’m looking at the Avatar in the world or on the Hero Window.
