Guild Wars 2

Erukk.1408:

Man, can you imagine the amount of effort it would take to haul Zhaitan’s body to a safe and secure location for analysis? They would either have to cut it up to manageable pieces or haul the whole thing in-between a dozen or so airships.

Or they could setup a system by which they get hordes of adventurers to smuggle the corpse to them piece by piece in exchange for an assortment of knick-knacks.

Bah! All I can picture now is Zhaitan’s body getting swarmed over by a horde of researchers in Hazmat Suit power suits, and they are being overseen by an Hannibal Chau-like, from Pacific Rim, OoW agent.

I personally hope that they would not have Zhaitan’s body be consumed, because his body’s continued existence would give us, the Durmand Priory, and the Pact an extreme boost in figuring out what exactly makes up an Elder Dragon. Although I have already toyed with the thought of his body being consumed by another, I would have thought that Trahearne would have mentioned something like that happening. As I would assume his body being watched in the very least, to assure his current state as dead continues.

1) Not racist, profiling. Because ArenaNet created that profile.
2) Not from birth, but from a year after, and those who break from the Legions are either gladium (thus ridiculed and as Rox said, some prefer death over being a gladium), or fall to the Flame Legion over promises of power (something that the Oratuss already give to their populas).
3) What do you think the Toxic Krait division is? But until then, there was never a need to make different views. They all ruled absolutely, and were raised believing the words they gave, only changing it as they needed.
4) We got the blog post which gives more than most.
5) Not likely. ArenaNet outright stated that out of all races, they wanted krait to be the most black unforgiveable race in the game.
6) Reminds me of the parody song of Let the Bodies Hit the Floor – I can only count to four

Krait are fanatic to the very core. They were designed as the “one inconsolable race” and the lore given to support this is that the race’s young are effectively brainwashed from birth to follow the commands of the Oratuss as undefiable truths. Anything the Oratuss says, goes. And defying the Oratuss is no different than hanging a cardboard sign around you saying “dear krait, please kill me.” And their hatcheries and young are guarded heavily to prevent them from falling out of their hands and teachings.

Chances are, the Toxic Krait that remain – if any – would be the only defiant krait. But those are still evil, as they still follow the same gods, just differently.

I wonder who the “Glorified primates” are, since the savage monkey men I figure to mean the grawl. :P

also bugbears :P.

Probably because in those societies we see ranges of groups, some are hostile others are friendly.

However, if a “friendly” group of Krait existed (I’m not against this however), I’m sure they’ve had to be SUPER well hidden to prevent their fellow krait from wiping them out. Likely how any surviving Toxic Krait would be ATM.

Legendaries hold no lore. What Bellyboomer put is just speculative. We can only guess at themes and relations. The best we can argue about is Flameseeker Prophecies, the book on the shield holding a New Krytan translation of Meerak the Shouter’s lines in post-Searing. The greatswords also have a strong hint of lore, as the Risen High Priest wields them. Scarlet had Quip when assaulting the Jubille and only then, and given the jester appearance may be tied to DR somehow.

Frostfang is likely tied to Jormag.
Incinerator and Predator are likely tied to charr.
Kraitkin is likely tied to krait.
The spear is likely tied to Risen.
Quip, Frenzy, Meterologic and the Minstrel are likely tied to humans.
Moot, Howler, and Bifrost are likely tied to norn.

But we have nothing solid other than appearance themes.

This question has been asked before. (Spoiler: you will be disappointed)

-Flameseeker profecies ties directly to gw1, and is the only legendary with real lore.
-The incinerator and the predator are marvels of Charr technology.
-Kraitkin is tied to the krait, but you could’ve guessed that.
-The Howler is made by the norn.
-And euh…

Hmmm, I’m not sure how you got that first bit of the Forgotten going to the Realm of Torment after Nightfall, as there was a sizeable population there for centuries before Nightfall (and during).

As we can best understand, the Forgotten population was at some point split into two – those who remained in the Crystal Desert (having all moved there in 174 AE) as Glint’s protectors, and those who lived in the Realm of Torment as Abaddon’s wardens.

Many, if not most or all, of the Forgotten in the Crystal Desert were killed by the player character and other heroes (Devona and co.) during Prophecies (3 years prior to Nightfall). We held absolutely no hint or indication at their population numbers afterwards – or even if they resurrected themselves afterward (possible but unproven). All we know is that there’s been no mention of them since, not even during Edge of Destiny at Glint’s lair.

After Abaddon’s fall, those in the Realm of Torment claimed that their duty has ended and they were free to go elsewhere, though we know some remained behind to take out Mallyx. Like those of the desert, we hold no indication of what they did after Mallyx’s defeat.

Never seen that plaque, but by ArenaNet’s timeline syncing, the year is 1327 AE. It would only be 1328 if they dropped the syncing… however, it should also be noted that Scarlet’s stated to have been a threat for a year in-universely, rather than 2 (as she entered being a threat in 1326 AE, for certain).

Though there is the possibility that it is canonically still alive and will be for another year by the calendar syncing function.

the game is better than ever for sure

Before the update, it had felt kind of pointless getting new PVP items because you can only use them in PvP and it’s impossible to know if your opponents have team colors turned on, anyway. But since the items are now usable in PvE, they feel a bit more universal, and more valuable, and the only thing I ever bought with glory was Level-up books, and I’ve been getting a good deal of those along with skill scrolls.

The Mega-Server system seems to compliment the Mists pretty well, too. Even at a weird hour in the early morning there were a decent number of people shambling about in the Mists, so it didn’t feel as lonely as it usually does.

I’m also really appreciating the quarter-second reduction on the A.E.D. skill as an engineer.

We get a lot of people kittening on the message boards so I thought it was important to let the devs know their work is indeed appreciated by some people. Two thumbs up.

So we might aswell start collecting builds, tryouts etc so we can determine what meta we are going for.

I’ll be back tonight (my b-day today) and see what i can come up with after listening to people who know their stuff ^^.

SO.. place your build suggestions/idea’s here. (so i can find em and abuse them later on)

Let’s hope they patch http://intothemists.com/calc/ this soon

Since Tequatl’s extra gain of power and the change in risen (lower density, but more powerful), it’s expectable that the source of risen isn’t removed.

Blockade of ships off the coast of Claw Island? If such a thing existed, ships to Southsun Cove wouldn’t have been possible.

You’re likely referring to the ships on the world map – sadly, this is a map image that’s stuck in time, and shows the ships that are there for the Battle of Claw Island (the ships are no longer there during Retribution, I believe, and certainly not there after).

If any blockade of Risen ships still exist, it’d likely be between Orr and the Ring of Fire – at the Strait of Malchor.

But how long would it take to remove Orr’s corruption and the remaining risen? Really, as long until Anet says so. But even then, should such happen… why would Tyrians go to Cantha, whom kicked everyone out? There’d be no reason to go to Cantha until Anet gives a plot reason – which they won’t soon at least.

A volcano’s heat can reach a good distance. Remember when the Iceland volcano erupted and the huge ash cloud blocked plane flights for a couple weeks a few weeks back?

Plus, Mount Maelstrom seems to have been made by Primordus (destroyers are highly prevalent there at least), thus meaning that it would have been made by Primordial Fire (as Edge of Destiny novel calls it), which burns through anything.

Plus, it isn’t like the Shiverpeaks were snowed over year long – if it were cold enough for water to freeze like we see in GW1 year long, then plants wouldn’t be able to grow. There had to be a warming up period (read: summer) in which the area got warmer. Most of Prophecies seems to happen in the colder times, while most of GW2’s initial release plot seems to happen during the warmer times (hence why Wayfarer Foothills is warmed – ignoring the industrial city nearby). Based on dialogues, the game began at the end of winter, and the zones progress along with the personal story and dungeon story based on level – with the PS ending before Halloween (when the LW began). So the “stuck in time” period for Timberline Falls and Mount Maelstrom should be the end of summer, logically thinking.

Makes me wonder if they’ll ever create new versions of maps based on the seasons with the LW… that would be awesome.

I didn’t have to log into mine. The first character I sent into WvW added all my ranks in 1 shot.

same problem here, it seems that they just gave me my highest WXP and didn’t add up the rest even when I logged on all the characters

So, you will need to log into every character on your account that has earned WXP to have their WXP total added to your account total.

However, when I just logged on on my highest character, the WXP had already been added, also, it was far less than it should be.

Is anyone else having this problem or am I remembering the incorrect amounts?

Razor.6392:

How do you even live your everyday life with all these delusions inside your head? Just what evidence do you have to justify any of this?

Smh. Dem casual pve warriors.

Thank you for providing yet another argument against allowing Dueling.
If the people that want dueling are behaving like this when someone disagree with them, I definitely wouldn’t want to see how they would react in-game when they got defeated or something like that.

For the 10219231 times, you have custom arena for duels. Read scramblers post, he gets it.

Give me an option to decline all duel requests (and autoblock repeat spammers) and the duelheads can do whatever they please.

Razor.6392:

Unbelievable really. The amount of people resorting to the most unrealistic and far fetched reasons to not have duels astounds me.

I think my reasons are actually quite logical.
