S3E6 violation of Charr lore "spoiler"

Amaimon.7823

I have kind of accepted this whole charade under the premise that race doesn’t really matter in this regard since you’re invited as the Pact Commander. If you weren’t the commander, you would’ve been stopped at the door AND you wouldn’t want to join if you weren’t human. This is more of a “position and fate of the world supersede racial association”

What did happen to the 'Eye of Janthir' ?

Posted by: Amaimon.7823

Amaimon.7823

I just hate the fact they removed the eye without ever discussing its origin. It came from the isle of Janthir obviously, but if the eye dissipated with the death of its master it had magical servitude or creation

I seem to have also been wrong about Braham being an idiot, and going ahead and killing an extremely weakened Jormag leading to the world being on the verge of collapse.

I got the sense that Jormag just sort of merged with the ice, so that they couldn’t get at him. It wasn’t that they chose not to fight him, they just couldn’t reach him.

There should be a way to save them, but we first have to define which how we are going to establish the real ones.
Most likely, there are several copies of them at large all actively working simultaneously. If two teams go in, odds are high they’ll both hear Deesa talk differently, because they’re all just sentient echoes or afterimages. We can’t save them now because we have yet to meet the real ones, if the real ones still exist at all

Another theory of mine confirmed, Deessa’s observatory (and her) is just another looping fractal. I used to think Arkk was an outsider trying to get Deessa out but even he was just a looping anomaly..

I needed to stabilize my mind after that fractal

I used to believe that Livia was the strongest necromancer.. but I thought her kind of underwhelming.. she hardly even appears to be a necromancer at all.. more like a warrior/mesmer………..

I’m not great at Original GW lore, how about Palawa Joko? Can he be the candidate for necro?

Yea, I was limiting my thoughts to the “normal” people. Of course Palawa Joko would hold a torch to Livia’s candle. But then you have to argue Pawoko vs the Orrian Vizier Khilbron

Thoughts on the new prophecy from trailer?

in Lore

Posted by: Amaimon.7823

Amaimon.7823

Three thoughts:
1. That dragon is waaay to small, and wrong in shape, of any elder dragon. Thats a champion or luitenant at best. Considering the second scene where a dragon remains lies on the ruins, there are many sub-dragon kills.
2. Balthazar is raising an entire nation for war. It wont be us vs B, it, it will be the Pact vs Pantheon of Fire.
3. Balthazar is raining fire and doom on the crystal desert.. but curiously so.. I saw no trace of that on the leaked maps

As for the others.. well, obviously the first avatar of Balthazar was most like a warrior at the top of the food chain.
You can argue if Jennah is a powerful mesmer, she did create an entire elder dragon.
I doubt you can pinpoint a single engineer or elementalist due different fields in the subjects.
This is an interesting topic I cant give defenitive answers to, right now

Its an RNG buff, not much else to it. You rarely get a buff, a glowing orb you must pick up. Then you when you have the special action key two things can happen
You down, and use it, or you channel to use it. Then you get a functional buff.
Im not exactly sure what anet was hoping to achieve here since the buffs dont do anything significant.. yet

Why 2 tickets for Abaddon's weapon set?

Posted by: Amaimon.7823

Amaimon.7823

It is also being discussed here:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Are-the-new-weapon-skins-seriously-2-tickets/first#post6654783

I have seen them cost 3 tickets, 2 tickets and very rarely 1 ticket. They are just skins. They are not needed to play the game at all. You have a choice to buy them or not.

I have to disagree. For several years, if not always, new sets have always cost 1 ticket on release date, +1 for every subsequent set on its previous price, 3-5 for returned weapons.
And true, sherlock, theyre skins, its not a question of vitality, its an issue of MO and suddenly doing something outside MO

QOL: pop-up chest final reward

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Amaimon.7823

Amaimon.7823

….I’ve tried re-doing a fractal, (something something a lot of stress in F99) and somehow, I didn’t loot the big chest the first time, but it also didn’t pop-up again when I redid it (bug or mechanical restriction?)….

It’s intended to work like that with every “daily-big-chest” like those in raid or world bosses, even if you complete the boss but forget to loot the chest/get dced, you won’t be able to get that reward again that day (that same thing happened to me a while ago on Samarog…which is even worse since i had to wait a week to get it again…).

all the more reason for the pop-up chest to avoid this grief. For a fractal it’s just 1-2 gold so I won’t lose sleep over it, but a raid.. aih, thats an LI and whatever else pops up

Trailer for Expansion?

I don’t recall it being hidden? It was just tagged onto the end of the story once completed iirc?

iirc the “true” trailer was “hidden” simply by some mean.. I don’t quite remember, I think you had to do something extra. The first trailer was the face of the Pale Tree shown as a painted illusion in branches, while another trailer showed the sylvari being branded and slandered.. although I could be remembering it wrong.. I’m not sure anymore

Yes I do, but whether it is Elona and CD is still unknown. A lot of those leaks have already been debunked as shown with the last episode so it’s still not in any way a definite at this point.

Form suggests a trailer or clear cutscene to finish off this episode. However, this season is a bit odd since it is clearly does not feel like a finale compared to S2 and S1. We still seem to be stuck firmly in mid season territory, so I will not be surprised if we don’t see a firm tying up here ready for the expac.

Nothing’s been debunked or confirmed about the elonian maps, though, but as it stands, it can still go any way.

As for the trailer, season 2 ended with a cinematic, and a hidden trailer. I think its in Anets best interest to repeat that method. Although the trailer may or may not be a hidden cinematic like last time. But the cinematic also wont betray too much of the story, just like a directionl introduction

QOL: pop-up chest final reward

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Amaimon.7823

Amaimon.7823

Hello Anet,

This is purely a me-problem, so I’m to blame, but I would offer a suggestion for it.
At the end of fractals a big chest appears, and I loot it like 99% of the times.
A few times however, when I’m not paying enough attention, and I got downed at the end of the big boss fight, I don’t auto-loot the big chest and move on to the next fractal. Again, this is entirely my own fault. But would be a big issue to instead make the final reward a pop-up chest, rather than a field-spawned chest to avoid future grievances? that way it’s no longer possible to miss the big chest at the end. I’ve tried re-doing a fractal, (something something a lot of stress in F99) and somehow, I didn’t loot the big chest the first time, but it also didn’t pop-up again when I redid it (bug or mechanical restriction?)

thank you

Abaddon stayed behind when the 5 left during gw1. ( the words of the avatars of The 5 implied that they were leaving or had left, just before the conclusion of Nightfall.) I think ANET intends to bring him back. Maybe Shiro will make another comeback and stage a cameo.

~edit~ OMFG No! it’s Kormir. This is the intro to the expansion.

Abaddon didn’t stay behind. He was thrown into the sapphire sea which then became the Desolation, and then he was then sealed in the realm of torment.
That happened before the exodus, how shortly i don’t know, but it was Abaddon’s raving and messing that made the others think it wasn’t a good idea to live among humans.

And he wont come back easily. He’s not 100% dead but there’s not enough of him left to be resurrected. He’s reduced to a shimmer or thought in the back of kormir’s head

We’ve had two relevant polls so far.. three if you count the ambient poll

Polls like these have either ambient or visual impacts of the game without the course of the story. I wont mind if anet doesnt want to, but it would be nice to have more of these kind of polls. It gives you a sense of involvement with the world

How do you even start raiding

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Amaimon.7823

Amaimon.7823

To get started:
1. Join a guild, RTI a starting guild that requires ZERO experience to join, as long as you are willing to learn. Website is RTI.enjin.com
2. Actually learn. Accept and understand that “play however you want” doesnt really work in a game mode that pushes difficulty to the limit. Read up on builds are considered effective, build up to the them, traits, armor and weapons.
3. Practice, practice, practice. Dont get disheartened, I used to think I’d never kill Sabetha in a thousand years, after 500 wipes I now kill her with 3 to 4 tries on average.

Scythe, 6K gold

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Amaimon.7823

Amaimon.7823

Again, and again, this is not about uniquety or rarity of the specific skin, but about the fact that it’s the only normal scythe skin in game, and there’d be zero problem if there was an alternative. And although I played actively since beta there was never a surefire method to acquire this skin.

And the reason it bothers me it’s because I main a necromancer and is there anything more cruel than playing a necromancer when anet constantly swings a “ha ha, can’t have a scythe” sign in your face

Scythe, 6K gold

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Amaimon.7823

Amaimon.7823

Don’t have this skin unlocked nor have any in storage or for sale. That said I prefer things like this not be made easier to acquire. You want things of value out there like this. if anything would also like to see more ultra rare drops that have limited numbers out that in which people might get lucky to see as a drop. There needs to be things of luxury value in game for people to try and acquire.

Completely disagree. It is basically artificial scarcity.

If this were the ultimate skin, worthy of the best legendary, then I could see price wars over it. As it is it is only expensive because there is no other option that even comes close.

Look at it in real life. It would be like charging a trillion dollars US for, oh, a broken mood ring. Something whose sole virtue was nobody was bothering to make it anymore. (now someone will google and prove it is still made, not the point though)

In real life already people will buy and resell goods later after they are no longer available and prices will skyrocket even for things that have many substitutes. This is a common in various collectibles fields. Hence another reason I am OK with this. The OP has many other skins to choose from, but they want one that has very little ways to collect so they are part of the group creating the demand.

“many other skins to choose from”?
Please name me the many other normal scythes in this game.
I got Nightwish which is the next best thing, but that’s still not a normal scythe

Exactly, the sylvari were born under the premise of free will, the average risen is most likely a mindless ghoul that stumbles about.
That said, some risen showed clear signs of intelligence, but were still raised under the premise of servitude and conquering.

I think deploying that line and then showing B is a fakeout. B left and came back, but a different god (either Kormir or Lyssa) never left, and will be revealed in this episode.

Kormir never “left” because she was never “here”.
For all we know, Kormir doesnt even know what Orr looks like. After she became a goddess she stayed behind in the realm of torment to clean up all the mess by Abaddon, but a small 300 years have passed, so maybe she’s moved n in the meantime

I dont care about the rarity of this item, the problem is that there are only two copies available to the community with no other methods of acquisition. I’ve been active since beta, but that wasnt enough to assure acquisition of the scythe.

Now, if there was another normal scythe in the game I wouldnt be upset about this, it could cost 125000 gold for all I care, but sadly, this is the only normal scythe in the game, and regardless of how expensive it is, only two people can be obliged. It would cost me more than 2 years of intensive grinding to get that gold, what guarantee do I have that the scythe offer will still be there
