Guild Wars 2

if chill is going to be major for reaper. that needs to change

maybe it will only slow by 33%. or maybe it slows movement. but it needs to do something

Ikihiki.2316:

Could someone explain stealth mechanics to me, since i keep on getting hit while in stealth?

Countless times i have died or my gap is closed by taking a hit even though i’m stealthed.

If i need to get away, i use blinding powder and try to shadowstep away with short bow.

But i still keep getting hit or someone uses gapcloser skill and it hits me regardless of my stealth, or that blindess.

Is it broken, or is there a counter to see stealthed players?

trips invisible person as they sneak past me
invisible doesn’t mean intangible.

channel attacks (like range long bow, or warrior rifle that fire a series of shots) track you until their skill is done.

while most is just random spam and guessing where you are.
spams flamethrower all over

plus engineer has several abilities to remove stealth from an area, and if it hits an invisible enemy, provided they took the trait, they can “lock on”. hence flamethrower being so fun

when we see you stealth, we guess where you’d run to. and spam skills. if the skills show dmg(in the dmg chat panel, not floating on the screen) or progress to the next “combo skill”(melee main attacks) then we know we’ve hit something and continue to follow hoping to hit it more.

so my advice, when you stealth. go the opposite direction you plan to flee. as the enemy expect you to flee. and be prepared to chain stealths to get distance.

also evading while in stealth helps to throw off the chain abilities of rifle and longbow.

SHINEYYYYYYYYY
grabs

ok, the reason i post this is. theres literally no way to kill these people 1 on 1.

i’ve used stealth trap. they warped out of range

i’ve tried to maximize dmg to them the 3 secounds they visible. they dissapeared in 1 secound(i thought we FIXED the render issue)

seriously….this is getting annoying.

i cant even immobilize them because they lose conditions when stealthed, so just walk out of my vines.

can we plz remove the horribly long time it takes to put down a stealth trap?
that alone would go a long way to fix this problem…..without kitten ing thief in pve or sPvP

Wolfheart.1879:

I do hope for the Priory’s sake that Zhaitan is really dead. I can see it now.

Zhaitan wakes from unconsciousness
“Ah just great. A great winged zombie like me shouldn’t be falling, or feeling pain. Schooldragon errors. It’s as if I’m some weakling Shatterer, nevermind an Elder Dragon. I tell you, if it wasn’t for those pesky kids, I’d have killed everybo-…….WHAT THE UNDERWORLD!!?? WHERE’S MY KITTENING TAIL?? Oh, the Priory has it?? Well, we’ll just see about that!”

priory scholar answers the banging at the door
Zhaitan “i’ve come for my tail puny mortal!”
Priory Scholar (without looking up or paying attention) “please take a ticket and get in line, current waiting time for access to the tail is 3 months”
Zhaitan “3 MONTHS?! ITS MY TAIL. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO IT”
Priory Scholar “experiments, bragging, and disection. as i said sir please take a ticket”
Zhaitan “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM”
Priory Scholar “a very loud very annoying asura?”
Priory Scholar looks up to see who he’s been talking to this entire time
Priory Scholar(shaking a bit) “…oh….uhhh….” faints

Zhaitan “kitten…so this is why Primordus hasn’t bothered coming to the surface…”

How do i get into this game mode?

I go into the mad king’s realm and talk to the boatkeeper and he mentions it. but idk how to get into it.

Da Poolp.6809:

Everybody forget something with the GS, the #3 and #4 deals good damages too.
The #5 give to your pet +50% damage on his next attack too, the GS is the best melee weapon to burst.

ranger can’t burst. thats one of its problems.
PvP is controlled by burst classes and those without burst get left behind

your refering to the Lunatic Inquisition.

the labyrinth hasn’t changed. its same as ever.

but the seperate game mode (keep in mind labyrinth had 2 instances) seems to be gone…

i miss it as well =(

sad thing is the boatkeeper guy SAYS the Inquisition is an option to play……..but there isn’t a way to it…..

it sucks T.T

i support this =D

and warrior has 8 secound cooldown, which he can afford to w8 for. specialy considering the thief is dead after the first attack and the thief needs several attempts to even get his hp down.

ok guys

new content with stability

DOES NOT WORK

you know the end of season 2 of living world? when you fight the shadow of the dragon?

yeah….FAIL

that shield gives you stability to give you time to light the divine fire walls.
and stop the dragon from knocking you up, or aside.

but NOT ANYMORE.

with “stacking stability” crap, the dragon RIPS through your PATHETIC excuse for stability. and knocks you straight out of that shield and into the air.

making the missions a PAIN IN THE kitten to do.

FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLL

it doesn’t help that, as a necro, your choices for heals are limited -.-

http://mos.millenium.org/matchups

i expect it will be released at the same time GW2 was originally released

at the end of this summer
August 28, 2012 was the original GW2 launch date
so August 28, 2015 i expect will be HoT’s launch date.

and if not, who cares? it means Anet will have more time to deliver us a completed product.
Would you rather Anet cut corners and make the ending as dissapointing as the Zhaitan fight? completely removing the ground fight with Zhaitan?

or would you rather wait another month or so so that the ending is satisfying and something you want to replay.

if i have to wait. so be it. the more finished the product, the happier i am

Maugetarr.6823:

Slowmelt.8547:

Maugetarr.6823:

So is the name daredevil or enforcer?

Daredevil is likely the name.
Enforcer Training is likely more for the sake of linking them back to a criminal theme.
An “Enforcer” really would be the type of criminal to use a staff or club.

For that reason I think I could get behind enforcer more easily. We’ll see tomorrow I guess.

inb4 its neither
and they call it monk

C E P H U S.4102:

Beta Weekend Story held an exceptional surprise in the area of Lore and general Emerson. Our characters are no longer along for the ride. We did not sit back and watch cut scenes of other characters taking the lead in key actions, with a multi-class skill set.
This time it was our character directing, our characters leading, and our actions developing the story, in a live action fashion.
Thank You for this turn in direction. I am looking forward to more of this.

lights trahearne on fire its MY story now! muahahahahhaaha

bump this is still happening

None of the core faults (for PvP) of our class were even addressed:
1. Pets
2. Longbow
3. Missile speed
4. Spirits will still instant die
5. Obstructed shots
6. kitten weapons

and did anyone else notice greatsword still does HALF the dmg of 1h sword (same dmg hit for hit but it half as fast as 1h sword)

indeed you are unable to dodge 66% of the time during your auto attack because 2/3 of your auto attack chains are lunges.

the best i can tell you is when you want to dodge use the 3 key, or the 2 key to jump back(breaking chain auto) and then dodge. it really is annoying but the only way.

another possibility is to use sword/dagger, dagger 4 skill is a quick dodge tool that breaks the auto attack chain very quickly, and is a dodge in its own right.

so basically if you want to dodge have a skill available to use to break the chain before dodging. only time i use sword now is in certain fractals and dungeons where i have an ele and guardian who can keep my hp up while i go quickness + sword chain(which is pretty nice dmg, on a 360 degree angle 2!)

otherwise sword is to hard to control to rely on dodging so i use GS (with its block and natural chain dodge). even if it is extremely low dmg.

Frostfang.5109:

…more options to Character Customization added?

Yes I know its’s another thread on this, but we never get any aswer.

With GW1’s expansions there were a lot added in this sector for every expansion. Here, nothing.

I really would like to get some new horns for my charr and the ability to choose among some colors on my horns. Some new fur patterns would also be really nice. Also a ton of more colors could be added to hair acsessories as it is hard to create a good match with the tiny pool of colors there is today.

This would be especially nice since Charr often are neglected when it comes to armors with clipping and stretching issues (like ALL the new medium armours added in HoT) and the lack of ability to get gender specific armor.

I guess other races would apriciate this too. Asuras share many problems with charr. Asuras would probably like more ear options and body patterns, maybe ears with piercings and jewelery.
Sylvari would probably want more glow colors or pulsating pattenrs in witch the glow.
Norn’s would probably want more beard and tattoo options.
And Humans would probably be happy for some more beard optiosn too, maybe faces with piercings, and tattoos on the body, maybe with a different style compared to norn.

What customizations options would YOU like to have for YOUR race??

i’d like some medium armors for Female Asura that AREN’T TRENCHCOATS.

i’m not asking for underboob human or skimpy crap.

i’m asking for something that either DOESNT have a trenchcoat.

or, if it DOES have a trenchcoat. make it so its back is unique. not a flat fat piece of cloth.

and in other news, can i have a tail for my asura (could be a back piece)
cause i’m a furry ^^

my feedback is

i love it. but its 1 skill needs a longer chill time.
its 2 skill has a bug where if u use it while stationary u cant move. but if u use it while moving u can still move or stop.

and in general it needs some interupt immunity…cause its way to easy to interuppt
other than those.
I LOVE IT

*puts poison on dagger as i walk to Black Lion Trading Company representative

ok so lightning reflex makes you roll backwards, removing immoblize and breaking stun

adding on wilderness knowledge removes 2 conditions….

but the issue is, it doesn’t remove the 2 condition until AFTER the roll. while the roll removes stun and immoblize before the roll.

so if you are crippled or frost, and you use lightning reflex to roll back, it removes the conditions….after the roll. aka you don’t roll far(barely get any distance) and kills the point of removing the conditions.

in addition, healing spring’s…..change? is stupid.
you use the skill while moving, and it appears where u started to use the skill, not where you are when skill activates.
meaning you don’t gain any benefit from it unless you stationary.
no condition removal, no healing buff

these kind make conditons a pain

should these both be fixed? (aka lightning reflexes + wilderness knowledge removes the 2 conditions before the roll like the stun and immoblize removal)
thief’s roll removes all movement imparement conditions BEFORE roll, and as such it works

and healing spring really is pointless if it doesnt activate on you. forcing you to hold still for it kilsl the point of a heal as you’ll take additional dmg not moving

…..asura +Ettin………..
hm…..

(imagines an evil mastermind asura with 2 super smart brains instead of one)

……perfect evil villan.

but i jsut want a human or asura with animal tail and ears

and thankfully. i an asura!

KREWE! GET THE CLONING MACHINE AND SOME DNA READERS.

i’ll go kidnap a human and a charr. and then we’ll make some furries!

MY GENIUS WILL BE RECOGNIZED BY ALL.

hm…neko or borderline…

mostly the AI seems to have been fixed

theres still a few issues where it gets stuck on stuff(let it jump off ledges plz!)

but for the most part, if it has a path to get to its target, it will go for them. no more sitting doing nothing.

if it is stuck on something(like a cactus….i kid you not) then it freaks out, spazzing non stop until it gets out. so it seems like the AI is doing all it can to get to your target.

and for minion’s appearances.
skeleton skins
also spirit skins(like kinda ghost like or phantom)
could also have a skin where its normal zombies, but they all have bunny ears, or little top hats

and i’d like to be able to name my minions (equip skill>right click skill opens window to place custom name> minion uses that name any time its summoned)

Spoiler alerts please! I’m still going through Prophecies.

DONT TALK UNTIL YOU FINISH. otherwise i will stalk you threateningly till you do >=D

thrice.9184:

I generally avoid thieves, Many rangers have issues with em.

Unless I cannot.

Lightning Reflexes, I cannt stress this skill enough its even better if you have it specc’ed.

If your Power/Toughness/vit specc’ed — Greatsword + Qz if there glasscannon you’ll melt there faces off. Use the GS #4 to block and counter them for the lols, Gs #5 to stun em if possible.

Signet of stone speec’ed grants you 6 seconds invun, minor time for you to think and act.

If they mass cloak with the little house on top, Use your longbow barrage in the field – (this can be a risk in itself) If you have a great sword jump in there and spam your GS# 1

ok as a ex thief play(aka i moved from thief to ranger) i will agree that barrage on shadow refuge is a good way to hit them, but most thiefs can take that dmg and stay cloaked.

a better idea is to have a wolf pet to fear them out of it.
if you can knockback, pull, fear, or anything to a thief that knocked them out of shadow refuge before the refuge dissapears, the thief will lose the 12 secounds of stealth. get the 3 secoudn reveal, and the render engine usually renders them faster than normal. meaning that thief who was planning to bunker down and w8 you out is now-
in the open
probably low on hp
unable to stealth
and rendered for you to shoot
so switch to longbow, rapid fire and finish them off =)

of coarse…most of this works only if the pet you have can use thier skill fast enough, that f2 skill delay stinks..

GuzziHero.5104:

There apparently was a body. In the Living Story your player character asks if an item in the Special Collections archive of the Durmand Priory is Zhaitan’s tail, and the warden confirms that it is.

We just never saw it, just as we personally never killed Zhaitan. We just pressed #2.

crap..that makes me believe zhaitan is alive even more.

we SHOT his tail off. of coarse it would be left….the only thing that would confirm it is his head…

most asuran armor =/
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Asura_female_light_armor
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Asura_female_medium_armor

but….one in particular…

ugliest? idk…
creepiest..yes

this is a FEMALE asura…keep that in mind….(…..Anet just that lazy?)

(seriously why do they wear 1 piece swimsuits if they allowed to show off this much skin o.0)

Ardenwolfe.8590:

Heck, rogues can have the staff if they let rangers get the rifle.

aye
in the end. someone in medium armor needs a rifle(and not a cheap shotgun knockoff that you never aim with but just fire from the hip….seriously killed engi for me)

(laugh) I’m trying, I’m trying! But this ascension part is driving me nuts.

lol yeah xD

its that bad, they worst class in WvW and PvP.
and Anet doesnt seem to be in any hurry to fix them, or for that matter fix it at all. 3 weeks and no update.
face facts, ranger’s doomed.
Anet is to focused on its favored class warrior. (which is the only class i’ve seen their GMs play)

ok something i’ve found out that Anet might want to look into.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Pistol_Whip
has 9x hits for a total of 1026 dmg, with crits and all maybe 6k dmg.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Hundred_Blades
8x hits for total of 1624 dmg, and a final hit for 406 dmg.

yet in WvW you see warriors hitting 21k dmg.

people have said its because crit dmg. if a thief with 92 crit dmg can only hit 6k, how do a warrior hit 21k?

and does anyone else think 21k is a bit unfair for classes that dont have over 20k hp(aka necro and warrior)

yet they nerf pistol whip, and dont do anything to hundred blade.

i’m sorry but someone needs to check what actually affects dmg because something is seriously messed up here. bit tired of 1 warrior whiping out an entire party of 5 people with 1 skill.

are we sure hundred blades is working correctly and isnt just doing 8x 1624 dmg per hit?

0:57
“until we announce it, like on our website or to you guys directly, its all up in flux”
so yes you datamined a thief with a staff
but that doesnt mean it gets a staff.
rifle theif isn’t dead yet. not until they announce what it will be.
why did i post this? cause i’m tired of people saying “its definitely staff”
no proof till they announce it.

PopeUrban.2578:

Prediction:

Gunslinger will be an elite spec with rifle. They’ll put buffed ricochet in it. It’ll be a GM trait in the same tier as a capstone rifle trait so you have to choose between them. The other gunslinger traits will have a common theme of pistol/rifle/utility choices. People will be mad about it for a week just like feline grace/daredevil. Then everyone will forget about it after a few months.

that would be both nice….and a kick in the nuts…

i like pistol/pistol. but i also want rifle…

Anet forces me to make hard choices xD

its been a few hours. and yet it still refuses to exchange my gold for gems.

i enter the ammount, press buy, and it greys out and stays like that for minutes on end

IF you want the trace part of ranger LB 2 skill removed. then i hope you realize your changing it from a channel skill that takes time to do its dmg. to a single hit burst skill(like theif is filled with)
so i hope your ready for a single 4-8k dmg hit. rather than numerous weak hits that give you time to negate the dmg by dodging or hiding behind an object.

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

Yeah….she says that, but they’d never actually do it. I’m sure they’ll do additional conversations, and maybe even some mildly dark internal struggle, but they’d never actually let the player character turn (and remain) evil.

(Feel free to make me eat those words Anet, I dare you )

if they make us eat those words
i gonna be so happy xD

that would be such a sweet taste. all of a sudden sylvari characters can have the choice to play the story against the forces of Tyria

and maybe when mordremoth dies, you return to normal

still not working

AegisRunestone.8672:

Hey, guys, I would really appreciate some positive feedback on my story. I feel like I’m talking to myself in this thread. What did I do right? What can I improve upon?

Thank you.

i like it so far =D
even got friends reading it =)

The Queens Jubilee hiding the Cantha sector confused me, making me think Anet was trying to forget Cantha

but then Heart of Thorns brings Shiro to the Revanant.

well ok…he’s a notable character.

and now. Mini Mystical Dragon mini.

how is this relevant?

Cantha, the dragon festival.

Unlike “western themed Tyria”, where we mostly fight dragons,
Cantha had (strange) dragons that they didn’t always fight with(if they did at all…kinda foggy on memory)

these dragons, are similar to the Mystical Dragon Mini….if not copy pasted.

is Anet trying to tell us Cantha’s going to be relevant soon?

will we finally discover whats become of the country that the best GW1 expansion(lore wise…and trailer wise) country.

is Cantha the next expansion?
or perhaps an event?

or could we be having Canthans traveling over to discover whats happened to us since the rise of orr

-its all the more possible considering that recently, in the news
China is removing some restrictions on games.
mostly to consoles, but also to ALOT of games.
—————————————————————————————————————————-
could this be the green light for Anet to return to Cantha? (perhaps bubbles is there? or Primordeus?)
after all, having all the eldar dragons in Tyria seems kinda….lame
if these “god like dragons” all exist on this continent….then its not that threatening.
theres Cantha and Elona

if the dragons want Tyria. and ignore those 2 continents(specially Cantha with its massive magic) then why should we care? if we all die, they still live and will repopulate here when the dragons go to sleep again

1 caltrop doesn’t remove reaper shroud. idk where u came up with that.

and theif is weaker than reaper shroud. but not weak itself.

its balanced.

you can delude yourself if u want. but every nerf has a buff with it.

the only reason your saying thief is OP is cause it can stealth. guess what, so can mesmer, and engineer, and ranger.

remove stealth from the class, and then its extremely weak. with dmg less than necro (necro’s d/d and reaper’s GS out dpm theif d/d)

keep crying though. people like u have cried since game launched. and theif is still here. balanced.

if they are struggling for an idea for its story. heres my idea for a story

My idea for Canthan story GW2

When Zaitan rose, contact with the outside world was cut off for canthan, leaving them unsure if they were alone in the world or not.

being the dragon empire, the royal family celebrated Zaitan’s rise, while the citizens didn’t share thier enthusiams. the affliction, low key since the events in gw1, empowered by zhaitan became more powerful and began spreading again.

the people of canthan paniced and the royal family closed itself off from the rest of cantha to avoid the affliction getting in. left without leadership, they needed a hero to rise.

and one did (no idea for a name, put one in. not your player character though.). rallying the remains of the canthan army, this hero engaged the afflicted and pushed them back street by street, house by house. over th ecoarse of a year this confict raged but gradually the afflicted lost ground.

then the events of gw2 happened, pact forces defeated zhaitan(but didnt kill him, the only remains found being the tail). Zhaitan, being an eldar dragon survived the corrupted magic but mutated. fleeing Orr, he arrived at cantha and crashed down through the city leaving a scar over much of the land from his impact(bit like the shatterer). where he crashed down risen spread and the aflicted spread in a wave.

the Canthan forces engaging the affliction found thier allys turning into afflicted and chaos spread. breaking line and fleeing or turning on one another this was the time for the hero to rally the remainign canthan forces.

but luck was not on thier side, at this critical time, the hero was missing, kidnapped hours before by the royal family for usurping thier power over the people.

locked inside the palace, the hero could do nothing as the affiction and risen spread over the city that canthan forces had worked so hard to retake.

and this is where the expansion would begin for us, with pact scouts arriving in canthan to see what has happened to this human country, discovering zhaitan’s survival. and calling the pact to help save cantha.

Cantha is divided into multiple factions after zhaitan’s arrival, the canthan forces defeat, and the dissapearence of the hero who united them.

so the Pact has to help reunite these forces and retake the city, while beign engaged from the front by risen and afficted (as well as ghosts of cantha’s past) and the rear from the royal family trying to stop this threat to the dragon they worship.

the player would have to choose how to retake the city, focusing on reuniting the factions themself, or taking the fight to the royal family to rescue the hero to reunite them, or regain the trust of the tengu(who fought with the hero, but fled when zhaitan arrived) and use them to help retake the city.

while at the same time the undersea dragon is becoming active and pact forces struggle to make it across the straight to cantha.

ok reasons i HATE pet. 1. it cant attack on the move so it USELESS in pvp and WvW.
2. it dies in 2 secounds
3. all it does is draw aggro when i dont want any and draw me into combat.
i ok with it drawign aggro in when i in combat but not when i trying to avoid it.
4. it wotn stay STOWED.
5. it makes me weak cause ranger skills need pet alive ot be effective. see 2.
6. if you tell it to stay out of combat, it runs in anyway. pet ai stinks.

ok rage over.

Nox Lucis.8341:

It’d be nice if there were canon hybrids in Tyria. Here’s why…
Behold the master plan!

Step 1: Take a good-natured if hairy and dim-witted Rox

Step 2: Take a good-natured if hairy and dim-witted Braham

Step 3: Get some 3rd rate /fic action going on up in here.

Step 4: Get a healthy litter of good-natured if hairy and dim-witted cross-species abominations against nature.

Step 5: Show this whole mess to Mordremoth.

Step 6: Mordremoth looks and says “You know what? I f——-g quit.” He then pops off his planty skull cap, scoops out his plant brain, drops it on the ground and stomps on it ’til he dies.

Step 7: Aside from getting similar reactions out of everyone else who sees… PACT VICTORIOUS!

Step 8: Afternoon croissants with Queen Jenna.

Sir Vincent III.1286:

Daredevil means someone without fear so the name will never work on Thief’s spec because we always die falling from cliffs due to fear.

If ArenaNet keeps the name, then we should be immune from fear — which will never happen because ArenaNet gets a kick seeing us fall from cliffs like lemmings.

you’ll still be feared off cliffs

but instead of screaming to your death

you’ll go head first.

lordhelmos.7623:

“Good morning fellow Tyrians! Plyxi here and boy do I have a treat for you! Following his recent reveal as a supporting Legend in the new Guildwars 2: Heart of Thorns expansion, we were able to catch up with Shiro Tagachi to ask him a few questions about his return to the Guildwars universe.”

Plyxi: “Mr. Tagachi, I’d like to thank you for taking the time for this interview. Do you have any opening remarks for your Guildwars: Factions fans?”

At this point Shiro stood up and clenched his fists before taking a villainous pose.

Shiro: “I HAVE RETURNED!”

Plyxi: “Ahhh… ok, we sort of got that with the reveal. Anyway, is there any coffee or water that I can get you before we begin?”

Shiro: “What kind of food buff will this give me?”

Plyxi: “Ahh… healing power I believe.”

Shiro: “Disgusting!” He stands up and kicks over the table with the cups on it. A charr attendant comes over to move the broken table and mess off screen.

Plyxi: “Ok… that was unexpected. Mr. Tagachi. What can you tell us about your powers as a legend and it’s playstyle?”

Shiro: He ponders a moment and puts a hand to his chin “Well. Think of a warrior but with speed, teleports, and an aoe basilisk venom. Oh and you get awesome versions of my Shiro’ken blades made of jade that steal health. They aren’t as good as the real thing though.”

Plyxi: “So are you more or less satisfied with your skillbar loadout?”

Shiro: “I’m just disappointed that they didn’t use any of the original names for my skills. I mean come on! Battle Scars, Meditation of the Reaper, Against Impossible Odds… I put so much time into coming up with those cool names.” He sighs then shrugs “Well it could be worse. I suppose I didn’t get it as bad as those other legends.”

Plyxi: “Speaking of the other legends, what do you think about Jalis and Ventari?”

Shiro: He laughs. “Pathetic! I saw that Ventari guy on the way here in the bathroom. He slipped and slammed his head on one of the sinks. Poor guy couldn’t even heal himself because his tablet was stuck in the hallway. They had to call an ambulance. Jalis? I don’t know about him. I just saw him channeling his elite. I came back after lunch and he was still channeling.”

Plyxi: “Do you think you will have any synergy with the other legends?”

Shiro: “I don’t want to be caught dead paired up with those two. They better pair me up with Mallyx or Glint. Ahhh… Mallyx. I remember the good old days of us stomping newbies in the realm of torment… well until Ursanway came and ruined it all. I remember Mallyx being alot better in his prime though. Old Mallyx would have just facesmashed people instead of trying this condition mess. I keep telling him that power is the way to go. He’s as stubborn as that Lich. If the Lich was DPS specced during our last fight, we would have crushed those flameseeker heroes.”

Plyxi: “Are you looking forward to anything in the new Guildwars 2 expansion personally?”

Shiro: “Well I have replicas of my blades and armor lined up for sale in the Black Lion Gemstore. I’m sure I’ll have more gems than I know what to do with.”

Plyxi: “Any plans for those gems?”

Shiro: “I think I might use them to kickstart Shiroken University. It’s an online college with courses designed to teach young Quaggans how to properly spec into dps builds. My philosophy is that if you teach the younger generation the value of mass murder and damage early, you can make the world a better place.”

Plyxi: “I notice that you keep staring out the window, is there something wrong Mr. Tagachi?”

Shiro: “That idiot Revenant over there is heading into that fractal gate with cleric armor and a staff. I think we might need to cut this interview short. Someone needs to stop him. What is he trying to do? Trap his team in there for 5 hours?”

Shiro suddenly teleports to the revenant and bursts him into down state in 2 seconds. Some shouting can be heard.

“AND STAY DOWN THERE UNTIL YOU LEARN HOW TO REV!”

Plyxi: “Well there you go Tyrians! Shiro Tagachi, coming to a Revenant near you! Be sure to Preorder! I’ll see you next time, on Eye on Tyria!”

More screaming can be heard as Shiro begins to terrorize other staff Revenants.

message from cantha to tyria
“KEEP HIM. WE DON’T WANT HIM BACK. EVERY TIME HE SHOWS UP ON OUR LAND STUFF BLOWS UP”
Tyria’s response
“….anyone remember what Shiro did to Cantha to make them say that?”

nice!

looking forward to more.
