Guild Wars 2

Ah well, hope is dead then.

Hi guys,

I managed to complete this adventure in exactly 2 minutes, which is the time limit for getting gold, however I don’t have the achievement completed in the relevant section. Is it possible for someone to change it so the achievement is complete because I died a little on the inside and have no motivation to try again

Edit: Sorry if its in the wrong section, dunno where to put it

Yeah, I had the same thing happen to me (picked Apatia storyline) except I decided to play through to see what happened.

Basically the first 3 missions are switched over to the Saboteur storyline and its like you got switched over to another fear. But then you get to Fort Trinity and Trahearne’s saying “soz bout Apatia, but thanks for that sweet orb you got”, as if you had played through the storyline you selected originally.

Furthermore, at the end of Fort Trinity, it seems to stick with the Saboteur story, as Trahearne says “lets go confront Syska”, but then you get reverted back to the Apatia story, where you have to go find her in the Krait tower.

So yeah, this part is screwed up. If there is a way to change my story journal to say I helped Apatia without reverting the rest of the PS (finished Zhaitan), I would appreciate it a lot

Yeah, wasn’t really expecting that anything could be done haha, but you never know unless you try. I’m not desperate for gold, sure it would be nice, but I feel bad about wasting something that someone else could’ve actually used.

Thanks for the info though

So last year, when my friend left the game, he sent me some stuff, which I then used to buy the Chaos of Lyssa recipe, cos I’m a sucker for things related to the 6 Gods. Then I went and unlocked the recipe, but over the year its becoming more apparent that I wont ever use it.

I know I can’t do it ingame, but is there any way for someone at anet to unbind it so I can sell it to someone else who will actually make it? Is it too ridiculously late for anything to be done or would it have to involve some account rollback (in which case I’ll just live with my stupidity)?

Thanks for reading

There’s a little button at the bottom right of that page that says custom exchange. That’s what you’re looking for.

The Charr could claim it as a war trophy. They kind of blew it up once.

The Charr never blew up Orr enough for them to have conquered it. The Vizier sunk it (and them) before they could come near Arah, meaning that it was a pyrrhic victory for the humans since they technically defeated the invading Charr.

Besides, I think the cultural claim of the humans is stronger than a claim from the Charr. Its basically the same right that the Charr invoked to retake Ascalon – the whole “we were here first”.

I don’t really see the Sylvari as the claiming sort. I think if the Sylvari were to expand, they’d want to go to the west, deeper into the jungle. The Pale Tree should also be able to reduce the amount of Sylvari spawned if overpopulation becomes a thing.

Alsoooo, I’d like to see more decent pants and shirts for male light armour classes. God I hate flapping around everywhere but then I’m just restricted to using certain sets.

I’d probably buy the Shadow of the Dragon armour if you made it a full set. And having more ‘god’ themed armour would be good – more stuff like Grenth’s hood.

So what does this alone say about her? She is directly responsible for Logan deserting his crew and therefore the escape of Kralk. She was also nearly responsible of the elimination of Glint and the resulting unhindered rise of Kralk.

Sure she was responsible for Logan leaving, but when your life is in danger you’re gonna call upon your strongest assets to protect yourself. Also, if I recall correctly, Glint died before Snaff even entered Kralkatorrik’s mind, so she was dead either way.

Thalionsir.5976:

Also, while it is slightly unrelated, but certainly more of an immediate problem. Jennah is a politician who effectively has the power to control minds, as this is the base of the power of mesmers. Understand the implication of this. Can you trust her to not abuse this power? No. She is not some benevolent entity, as far as we know, she is human. Humans are all flawed, it doesn’t take a lot to see that.

Of course I’d still trust her. She’s done a lot for the peace treaty with the Charr, and if she died at Ebonhawke, the two species would most likely be at war with each other in the present. Jennah is looking out for her subjects, and is pretty darn benevolent to them. Its probably hard to manipulate other leaders with her mesmerism, as she’d have to continuously keep them under control and this might cause deviations from their normal patterns of behaviour which would alert their subjects and create hostility between her and the other group, and ultimately be bad for Jennah’s side as it would reduce trade, aid and public opinion. If she was using mesmerism to control her opponents, Caudecus wouldn’t really have become as much of a problem to the strength of the monarchy as he is now.

And of course humans are flawed, but none of the other races are paragons of perfection, are they? On the whole, Charr are still trigger happy and keen to fight, Norn aren’t really great at banding together (they focus on the individual), Asura are manipulative and self centered and Sylvari are basically overly curious plants (the Nightmare court are rebellious teens with mommy issues). Each race should have their positives and negatives. I mean, the Sylvari are probably the closest to ‘perfect’, and look how much that kittenes many players off.

Sorry if my formatting is crap, I don’t usually comment. Also wrote this in between studying, so I hope its not too disjointed. Correct me if I’m wrong anywhere

Logan takes one glance at her on her balcony and then swears himself to be the queen’s personal champion, and she’s like “Okay yep, let me make a mind link in your brain so that you’ll know to come running if I’m ever in danger”. In doing so, she gains a strong and extremely loyal bodyguard, and effectively thwarts the plan to take down Kralk, which seems to work inversely in favor for her because if the dragon were to be killed, she would not have to fear, due to the fact that the minions are running off dragon power. She also could have used the mental link to communicate with Logan, however briefly, to realize that Edge of Destiny are on the brink of killing the source of their problems.

She’s the queen, its beneficial for her and humanity if she has a strong bodyguard. Considering how power hungry the Krytan Ministry is, if she died, then the nation would probably not be in a good place. I don’t know how mesmer magic works, but maybe she could only send the message, and not have a conversation with Logan about his situation. You’re forgetting that Jennah WANTS the dragons dead as they are a threat to her people – she knew about Glint helping humans in the past, but decided that, if Glint was actually helping her old master, it would be better for all if she died. Heck, Jennah even says in her letter to Logan that she’d trust Glint over Faolain’s info, because of what Glint had done for humanity. She also probably would not have known about what Glint did in the last dragonrise, as none of the races that Glint protected were present in Jennah’s time (well the Jotun were and still are, but they’ve pretty much destroyed their history and civilisation). In regards to Glint being a former champion of Kralkatorrik, that isn’t very common knowledge – Glint was extremely secretive of her association with the Elder Dragon.

Thalionsir.5976:

REMEMBER! She did not need Logan! She was powerful enough to turn the Charr and the Guard (Seraph, I think) into what looked like branded, causing the other branded to leave. As well as the fact that, if the dragon were to die then the branded would die as well (it’s sort of an unspoken fantasy/sci-fi rule so that you don’t have to mop up all the dragon mess afterward).

But dragon minions don’t die when their Elder Dragon dies. If you look at Arah explorable, which happens AFTER Zhaitan’s death, you’ll see the Risen are still functioning.
Also we don’t know the mechanics of the spell she cast – she may have needed a long time to prepare it, time which Logan probably brought by rallying the imprisoned Charr in Ebonhawke to fight for them. If she didn’t have that time the city might have been overrun by the Branded.

Thalionsir.5976:

You also need to note what got EoD into the Crystal Desert in the first place.
Jennah herself had written to them (Logan) and said “turns out Glint is a dragon champion – yeah I know she’s done some really great stuff in the past, but it pains me to have to say you’re going to have to go in there and kill her, and kill her really quickly.” But as it turns out, Glint is not actually a bad dragon, the latest Living Story has proved that (as far as the tone has been set, Arena Net has basically presented her and her potential offspring as our great chance at killing Mordy.).
So this calls Jennah’s intention further into question. Did she just mistakenly call this assassination of Glint as a misplaced attempt at a good deed? I think not, just because it is too much of a deviation of tone. She has not directly acted like this before, why would she start now?

Again, I think I addressed this in my first paragraph. Basically Destiny’s Edge went off to kill Glint and Jennah just gave Logan the royal stamp of approval, even though neither of them were particularly enthusiastic about it, just in case Glint was actually helping Kralkatorrik. Also what we’re focusing on more now is not just killing the Elder Dragons, but also what to do after they’re dead and their magic rushes back into the world. Glint was basically going to be a sponge for the magic of one Elder Dragon, absorb that magic and basically replace that Elder Dragon (except as a good one). Doing so would help prevent magic levels from rising to dangerous levels and be dealing with the side effects of killing an Elder Dragon.

Titus.4285:

Developers seldom reply to the lore threads. Of course they do occasionally, but I wouldn’t have any high hopes.
No matter how they reveal Bubbles’ real name, I’m sure they’ll do it in a better way than what they did with Mordy. The lore community was in outrage back then, and it didn’t go unnoticed

(What I don’t understand is why they didn’t go back and change the revelation of his name – now that we have the repeatable story instances)

kitten , well at least they’ll do it properly when the time comes (Hope its soon)

We have Primordus, Jormag, Kralkatorrik, Zhaitan and Mordremoth. As much as I love Bubbles, I’d really like to know the name of the last elder dragon.

As Kasmeer and Marjory have gone to the Durmand Priory to research dragons, it might be a good time to introduce/learn the name of the Deep Sea Dragon’s name, since the Priory would be the perfect place to find it. It would surely be good for the commander of the Pact, which was set up to fight the dragons, to know the dragons’ names, right? I just don’t want it to end up like Mordremoth, where the PC just randomly said the name.

I realise that they might even leave the DSD as the last one, but it could just be something for us to put in the back of our minds. Is it possible to get a response from Anet or am I in the wrong place?

Augustus Rex – 9/10, were you going for the ancient Roman feel? Sounds pretty good to me.
Iris Rurik – 6/10 for me, nice GW1 reference but it sounds a bit weird to me personally (plus AC story would’ve been weird – “Rurik my son!”)
Erina Lannet – 9/10, I like it.

Mainly humans on my account
Elementalist – Daelin Crestfall
Mesmer – Ariel Crestfall
Necromancer – Auroth Wynchell (kinda regret this one)
Thief – Verity Eckhart
Ranger – Lyralei Silkwood
Guardian – Aurora Hollows
Warrior – Aran Blackwell

Rate one or all, I don’t mind haha
