Guild Wars 2

Why people have so much trouble understanding what atheism is is beyond me.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atheism

“Atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deities. In a narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities.”

Except that’s bullshit. What you’re describing there is GNOSTIC atheism, not atheism in general.

Gnostic Atheist: I know there are no gods.
Agnostic Atheist: I don’t know for a fact that there are no gods, but I don’t belive in them.

Furthermore, if anything is being rejected, it’s the theist’s claims, not any actual gods.

And for the record, I am an atheist.

“Believe in iron/strength, not false gods.”

Not just ‘gods,’ but specifically ‘false gods.’ This is what flabbergasts me. Pretty much every charr you meet will declare gods as a fallacious concept to your face.

And “false gods” might simply refer to just that, “false gods” like the titans or whatever it was that enslaved them in the past. It’s a warning/reminder not to fall back into those days.
That was my enterpretation, anyway.

By the way, don’t the human gods actually answer prayers? Isn’t that what their racials are?

So they could just summon those hounds or whatever and go “See, proof!” and the Charr would go “So? You’re still sissies if you need your gods.”

Both wrong. Its the BESTEST race!

That’s not really appropriate either.
We have to invent a new word for describing their level of bestness, really.

And Charr are not atheists. An atheist is someone who sais “I see no evidence for any gods, therefore I see no reason to belive in them.”. Charr clearly know that gods exist ( and they provably do so in the GW universe) so they are actually Gnostic Theists, they just don’t worship any of them.

I agree. It was a tremendous disappointment when you ended up with “Iron Legion Soldier” and “Iron Legion Marksman”.

Make it summon the sparringpartner only, and make him/her to be equal to the two currently summoned.
Heck, I’d use it just for Dinky’s oneliners, even if it sucked from a gameplay point of view.

All three, technically.

But my main (or at least, highest level) is Iron.

At the moment, 3 males (Charr, Charr, Asura) and 3 females (Charr, Asura, Norn).

Add an option to block them, otherwise no deal.
I really hated it in WoW when some (insert profanity of your choice) challenged you 10 times in a row, forcing you to ignore him.

It is a bit strange that you can’t, really.

I hope it’s just an oversight and that they’ll add it in a patch.

Katanas are two-handed swords.

“Awww, now I want a ghost torch too! I’ll hang him over my fireplace and call him Ol’ blue.”
“This is my kind of fortress! Needs more cannons though. And spike traps, I love those!”

I was colossally disappointed that the Warband Support Elite Skill just summoned two Iron Legion nobodies.
I’d like to petition they change it to summon your sparringpartner instead.

Add an option to block mails from players not in your guild/friendlist.
That would completly remove all spam-mail for me at least.
