Don’t feel bad, GW2 had horrible writing since day one. They axed off characters without reason in the personal stories back in the day and they sadly will continue this tradition untill the game dies.

Eir's Story [Spoilers]

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: sharkstein.2109

sharkstein.2109

Just think next time mate.

Eir’s death was not wasted, and her death may not have been heroic but it had more meaning. Being killed Mordy infront of Braham has given him drive to defeat the Dragon and perhaps all Dragons giving a bland character more depth and forwarding his story.

Faolin being the reason for Eir’s death also creates conflict within Caithe as she loves Faolin but was a good friend to Eir. Ultimately she makes a decision to side with us and fight to avenge Eir and give peace to her love.

It also gives your own character an enemy to focus on as during much of the story Mordremoth has no face. As I said, it my not be heroic but it does have meaning, it furthers two fairly mediocre characters stories.

Anyway her death is of no great loss to me, their are more interesting characters.

Read: lazy storywriting. Seems to a theme with this game nowadays.

If you quit “years ago” you can’t have played it for very long being that it’s only just about 3 years old now. Did you really give it a good chance to prove itself to you?

Guild wars....The end is nigh?

sharkstein.2109

Anyone else foresee in the near future, the end of guild wars? I wouldn’t like to see the end but when shallow, uninteresting, unrewarding, frustrating game play take over, it’s time to leave the sinking ship I’m afraid.

I wish they would put the bleeding, diseased and shambling animal that is Guild Wars 2 out of it’s misery. I am afraid, however, that they will milk the cow dry, skin it and sell all the organs and bones for profit untill it can finally be put to rest. Maybe exploit the soul too for eternal torment…

I quit years ago and I am quite happy that I did, the whole game has become a joke and not one of the funny variety.

Mini Mystical Dragon NA release?

I love this philosophical QQ about an object that doesn’t enrich your life in any way nor does it improve your gameplay. We had this back in original Guild Wars (Coke Items among other things, exclusive pre-order items etc.), yet no-one complained and yet one exclusive crappy miniature is released and everyone is being a child about not getting it. Well played, you create a fine image of gamers and humanity to me.

Revenant Unique mechanics?

Posted by: sharkstein.2109

sharkstein.2109

I think this was exactly the idea behind it. In the recent interview, the devs told exaclty that: they looked back to GW1 and wanted to please those long time fans (like me btw :-)).

Read: use nostalgia once again to get more GW1 players fooled into buying their game because they “care” about established lore. They, don’t and neither should you.

I won’t be jumping the wagon as all of the features in this ‘expansion’ should have been in the game since day one. A new race might have made me slightly consider getting this, now I that have no race to pin the Revenant on and playing two of same race goes against my principals. You people have fun, I won’t be anything new you don’t already have in GW2.

[SPOILERS] Season 2 Finale [merged]

in Living World

Posted by: sharkstein.2109

sharkstein.2109

Someone has neither been in love not has any clue what devotion feels like.

Indeed ans that person is you, good naiasonod. You have no understanding that some individuals perceive love and devotions differently than you and gnawing on Imbune’s opinions while comparing to society’s mediocre standards is pretty low.

My opinion is that the finale was uninspired. Some revelations were conjured on the spot, made no sense, contradicted themselves with existing lore and/or came too little, too late. Perhaps this is a marketing ploy for the further expansion? Most probably. For me, the entire season 2 was a downward spiral of declining quality with little to no redemption along the way.

I love these hollow debates about obvious topics that need no answer. Are BL boxes gambling? Yes, pretty much, regardless if you’ve spent real money or ingame money, both costed someone effort to get. OH EM GEE, it is illegal! If it was, Anet would not be doing it. In the end, you are the only one responsible for (not) getting a useless digital item that won’t advance your life any further in any sort of way.

GW2 skill icons

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: sharkstein.2109

sharkstein.2109

Hello everyone,

I am a huge fan of the artwork behind the Guild Wars franchise from concepts to actual ingame pictures. The skill icons for the original game were published in quite the high definition on the official wiki so I managed to get those. The skill icons for GW2 don’t seem to me available in high res pass the 128×128 px format with a giant black border around them on the GW2 wiki. Searching the internet high and low didn’t produce any positive results either. I think that great artwork deserves to be seen in its full glory.

Is there’s any way that someone knows a way to acquite these, or perhaps I did overlook some website somewhere, feel free to either respond to this topic or drop me a PM.

Bria revisited, kind of insulting (spoilers)

Posted by: sharkstein.2109

sharkstein.2109

@ OP

How many people actually revisit random events on random maps? Not many. Had Bria’s event been fixed since launch, you would forget about it and not be sour about it like you are now. They revitalised a few dead events so that people can do them more often (well at least untill Ch4 rolls out), that is what you get from a biweekly free event. Should you feel insulted by this, I don’t think so.
