I really love all my character designs. However, if I had to choose by popularity, my main character has been the one to receive the most praise, and I do so love me folk that comment on the admittedly lengthy times I spend designing my characters.
Make sure to comment if you ever see anyone’s design you may enjoy. I do, because I know just how teeheeheehee it makes the player go. Personally. In a manly way.

My thief and my elementalist have both gotten their share of praise, but it has been on a more… mature vibe. Yet still part of my favourite outcomes.

With the current quality of the primary plot-telling under the Living World team, I don’t think we’ll be getting such ‘elaborate’ twists.

I understand what you mean. But, to be fair, they already achieved a similar “surprise twist” with the “Ascalon, I free you from this curse!” trailer.

~MRA

Which, to be fair, failed, was horribly written and out of the blue, and will likely not be addressed until way later. I think we all would have been better off without that.

It would make it imposable to tell what class is what when your fighting your asking for a way to hid what you can take as a player (your def). Its like asking for all wepon skins to be usable so i could be on an ele with a hammer and full heavy armor when in truth i am full glass staff ele i just look like something you realty do not want to get close to.

Granted that is exactly what outfits do, and they are releasing more and more of them. I can pretty effectively make my characters look of different classes by simply using the right combination of gear, after all. Screeny of my mesmer as an example.

Rude players in dungeon pugs

It’s a bit of a sad outlook, but a realistic one when it comes to pugging on large communities; Think of your silent pugs (see: The ones that don’t answer when you refer to them, the ones that don’t at least say “Hi”, etc.), as faulty AI’s prone to overload and screw up. Don’t take their reactions into account, and move along. If you can find a good set of friends/a guild that is in fact not composed of these kind of people (which is, sadly, quite hard.), then hold onto them! And never let go!

Palador, have a +1.

Oh, and one small request: Sometime down the line, have the group declared an honorary warband. It would be good character development for Rox, even if all she does at the time is break down and cry.

It would take doing something monumental for the charr to make that happen. And, well . . .

I don’t want to be in an honorary warband. I want to be in what amounts to a “troubleshooting squad” – we find trouble, and we shoot it. It doesn’t matter where or what.

We can even have a motto: “We pick up where Destiny’s Edge left off.

If they could pull the whole concept out of their kittens for the sake of Logan, I am pretty sure they could do so for the sake of the new group, to be fair.
All things considered, it -is- the commander of the pact and essentially the sole reason Zhaitan was downed, and again the group that offed Scarlet. And the Bloody Price, if we want to count that.

…lets make all armor style open for all classes, no one will ever wear the same gears ever again!…

All I can say to this……

Remember when anet made T3 human cultural flame armor in gemstore accesable for everyone?

They really could not hit that “Retreat!” button fast enough… Oh the memories of the people attempting to circumvent the skin drawback by placing them in odd types of bags or storages.

do you delete ascended mats?

Anmida.4058

I used to delete bloodstone dust but now I’ve made a mule alt and keep everything there. As an ANet developer just mentioned in a wvw thread, do not delete this stuff, as they’re coming out with new things to use it on!!

Yeah they also said at the exact same time there would be varying methods of obtaining ascended equipment.

So far, ascended armor is obtained by obscenely time gated crafting and no other means, and weapons are exactly the same, and they’ve had plenty of time to add other methods.

Ascended gear was made to give a certain (but regrettably large) demographic of players a carrot to chase while ANet got a good strong content production line going. Now that it has served that purpose my bet’s that they’ll never touch it again except to dangle more produce in front of the sheep demographic, never to actually truly expand the content in a good solid way.

Ascended gear can also be obtained from FotM and WvW chests, I believe.

As well as World Event chests, specially Triple Trouble and Tequatl. Though to be fair, the chances of getting them outside high level fractals are so abysmally low and up to RNG, it may as well just not be a viable way of actually working towards obtaining them.

Trahearne did address the end of his Wyld Hunt as a dooming outlook, yet by the time Zhaitan is gone, he remarks he sees it as a challenge and an oportunity to see beyond the limits of his people.
Killing him off out of the Wyld Hunt syndrome would probably screw up on this realization. Not saying I put it beyond Living Story team’s capability of “Wait, what?”-ing characters, but it would fall short on Trahearne’s actual character and its development.

I believe that would be the same thing applied to NPCs, where their weapons/skills/etc have no restrictions or ties to their class/weapons. Or in other words, it’s likely a randomized design generator that draws from a neutral pool.

They can’t even release PvP armor skins in time, let alone synchronize clipping properly with the already existing armors, if they went down this road I think they would crash and burn.

Norn necromancer?

Posted by: Anmida.4058

Anmida.4058

I main an asura necromancer; And contrary to popular belief, he is in fact my most hero-complexed character of my roster.
Necromancy, at least as Guild Wars 2 strives to make note of, is something the average person considers unsettling, but also reveres for their mysticism. While the average necromancer presented in the setting is generally stoic and generally blunt (See: Arya Venom, Trahearne), it is clear by both of these characters themselves that necromancy doesn’t condition personalities inherently. Specially due to the influence of Grenth in the setting itself.
Arya goes as far as to summon sentient flesh golems from the remains of tortured civilians killed by a centaur “necromancer”, so they will have satisfaction in killing him themselves.

Be a hero, save the people… even if it means riding a stitched corpse of your friends into battle.

While Faolain is not dead, the Nightmare Court is very much in disarray. Their infighting, as shown by TA explorable, goes to the point of murdering each other for the scraps she left behind. Killing her is unlikely to make anyone fall in line.

Neither Ellen Kiel nor Evon Gnashblade have any sort of power to make anyone fall in line upon death; Nor do most of the people listed.

While relevant leaderships, all – including the Queen. – would have successors or secondary management to take over.
The only two plot-relevant choices would be the Master of Peace and the Pale Tree; while there would be no benefit whatsoever in making the Zephyrites “fall in line” (which they would not, either way.), it is loosely tied to Aeryn’s attempts of forcing him to give him his “secrets”, and therefore still a possibility.

The statement being tied to the Pale Tree would be the most obvious choice. Really, unless they pulled another “IT WAS THE LEYLINES”-style random plot twist, it would be the only logic choice.

Alright, let’s do this again for the seventh time this month. Though to save everyone’s time I will just resume how the thread will go, my respective against general arguments.

-Strongly disagree with the notion of removing a key plot character merely because of a minor distaste towards his personality.
“But that’s exactly why he should die!”
-Not really, the game is full of awful, cliche personalities that will remain despite they have no actual relevance to the plot; At least Trahearne suffices a purpose.
“But he doesn’t do things/should not be leading the Pact/his personality doesn’t fit, et cetera!”
-Whoop dee kitten doo, in case nobody has noticed this; that’s absolutely the case for every single major character in the setting, Trahearne simply got the spotlight and escapegoat complex because they needed a main character to simplify the amount of work applied into your character’s choices
“But we could have so much better than him! / Things would change if Trahearne died!”
-Oh yes, storyline has gotten so much better since we started killing off underdeveloped characters. The marvel of the already low on funds writting of the Living Story will explode into a myriad of wonders and lightworks if we go down the route of just killing characters that weren’t properly developed just to throw a bone at the random player with personal vendettas towards the plot escapegoat.

I know I am skipping the parts where we go at each other about the validity of our claims, the section about “my tastes < your tastes!?”, and all of that, but I am sure that will come right after this, so I will just let that go on for the next twenty pages.

Because if current Guild Wars 2 writting has taught us anything, is that the “maybes”, “ifs” and “possiblys” are in fact just “nah we just forgot/didn’t want to do that”.
These issues are not mentioned, addressed or even thought upon. It means they simply overlooked them for the sake of a more roundabout solution to issues for the sake of giving more spotlight to less apt characters.
The exact same reason given as to why are we even teaming up with the people we are currently teaming up with.
There is no reason. You just do. Because it’s what they have thought out for the current setup.

Why is everyone so obsessed with legendary?

Not obssesed myself, either. The effort is hardly worth the outcome, the skins are just particle effects that don’t fit most of my characters, and they aren’t even toggle-able so I could at least choose whenether I want to leave rainbows behind or not.
The amount of time/effort/money necessary to make a single one just for, as mentioned before, “bragging rights” is simply a failed attempt at giving longevity to the game through crafting.

As also mentioned before, I don’t even consider legendaries something of prestige, either. You spent a lot of time looking up at guides and pooling money by running dungeons and farming? Go you. I am sure that was worth it.
Now if legendaries actually required some sort of skill/questline/challenge to actually get them? I probably would love to get on it.

I understand how the whole hype thing works, really. Up until the colossal crash n’ burn of Blade & Soul, I was really hoping and looking forward to the new releases in MMOs. Even Wildstar for a second there (You know, until the NOPE of the actual gameplay mechanics. I get it, many of you love it. This is just my personal opinion so let’s not go all YOU HURT MY PERSONAL TASTES! over each other.) was a hype source, but reality of the situation is that the MMO market is saturated with recycled ideas attempting to cater to the generation that didn’t have the chance of getting forcefed old setups and ideas.

I am afraid all of the new games in the horizon, ArcheAge specially, fall under the same areas. It will be the same thing again. It reeks deeply of the “You can do everything!” syndrome. But it will get hype, people will murder each other verbally for it, then it will be out… aaaand everyone will move along to the next hype focus.
TESO was really the optimal example for this. For those that didn’t try out the betas, it was the next coming of Jesus MMO-wise, because let’s be honest, it was promising. On paper, theory and trailers? It was grand. It even had the Elder Scrolls label pasted on it.
But then reality of MMO markets happened. Crowded areas, meh combat, oddily repetitive maps for an open game, “If you pay extra, you can completely kitten up the lore! Pay moar nao!”

Playerbases will always be there, no MMO is likely to ever die out completely. But none is likely to reach “that one point” that makes it thrive, until developers change their focus… intelligently, not “we are hitting all the brick walls on the way! as many as we can!” Guild Wars 2 style.

Living Story Needs Tragedy

Belinda’s death didn’t do it for you?

That was only tragedy for the weak minded who didn’t instantly realize upon her introduction that her purpose was to die “tragically.”

You’re suggesting that when you saw her in the bar, your immediate thought was “Yep, she’s dead”?

Me and the friends I was doing the cutscene with actually agreed upon that on spot as her dialogue ended. The biggest reason if anything is that she didn’t have a special model at all, not even her face or hairstyle had any effort put into them.
Coupled with the fact she was a key character to Marjory yet she was automatically dismissed to the Wildlands after a few words of no particular weight, it really made it look like they didn’t want to put effort into her just because they were already aware she’d get killed soon anyways.

However, you should hold a candle towards what the books say when compared towards “current things characters can actually do in Guild Wars 2”; As stated in other threads, Queen Jennah can summon city-sized illusions without any penalty to her health, and Countess Anise petrified (we’ll say.) an army, whereas she’s now hoity-toiting around.

Yet so far Countess Anise and Queen Jennah have lifted no fingers when under situations as dire as Scarlet blowing up Divinity’s Reach with murderous killing machines, leaving you to wonder how much of those feats actually translate to the current setting.

The Future of Role-Playing in GW2

My statement remains.

You complete a heart, take the events transpired and translate it to roleplay.
You complete a heart and then relate the happenings from a heart perspective.
You play the game with on the go conversations, taking stops in cleared areas or less crowded sections of enemy sites to discuss the situation or the character’s performance.

It’s not hard in the slightest, it’s pretty intuitive when you have enough imagination. The game is a medium, the actions of your characters are translated to better suit their capabilities, and retrieval of things such as vistas and POI’s can be simply made into “Oh look this place is cool/this view is nice, let’s check it out.”, provided the roleplayers are even going through the process of using the gameplay itself as roleplay material.

Not true….I chat in a place called Second Life its a 3D chat my character is actually there not just text based.
I just do not see how I would be able to RP in the game if I am suppose to be doing hearts and points of interest and such in the game. Not much IC in that…..There would be hardly any game play just standing around going back and forth in Character like the chat I am in. Just not sure how I would RP in a Physical game.

For a roleplayer, as you may claim, you have a surprisingly low amount of imagination if you can’t picture why would a visual medium with due amount of suspension of disbelief applied towards gameplay mechanics may help a roleplayer and its crew immerse themselves in the role of a character they are portraying.

Confessions

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Anmida.4058

Anmida.4058

Let’s go for a second round, then…

-Like the best PvP user (Read that with sarcasm), I relentlessly hunt whoever has laid a cheap kill on me. If you win fairly 1vs1, awesome. If you gank me in a zerg, well who cares? It’s a zerg, if it’s not you it’s whoever else. If you stunwarrior/sneak n’ shank with teleport exploits me, or otherwise I happen to be unprepared for you randomly showing up, you can expect the rest of your match I will be jumping on you from all directions until I have satisfied my vengeance with due amounts of dancing llamas upon your corpse.
-Despite the above mention, I enjoyed a good amount of sneak n’ shank times in the past, shamelessly making me a hypocrite.
-To make it even more amusing, I filter “stunwarrior” under “Below my morals” even then.
-If I see two people teaming up in PvP hotjoin, I make it my personal goal to summon my partner or a friend, to then team up and gank them, just so we can get that feeling of superiority. Again, like a good PvPer. Sarcasm intended.

-In the initial stages of the champion trains of Queensdale, namely when I was bored or doing dailies, I took my time to grief the whole setup. Only when mapchat would whine about their entitlement to champs, though. For a reminder and whatnot.
-I have suggested several guild mates jump down particular cliffs that would kill them when completing areas with them, if their personalities on contact have aggravated me yet I have not been able to point it out because of “omfg guild drama”. 7 out of 10 times they have done so, causing them to start over annoying jump puzzles, vistas or otherwise having to walk back from waypoints. My time in guilds doesn’t last long, in case you are wondering.

-I have a particular distaste for roleplayers playing out “male humans with a flirty attitude”… which is 75% of the population. As a result, in days where my mood is off, I have made sure to bring in any character in order to grief them in-character. Sorry, gentlemen, but your “kitteny smirks at him/her.” spamming every five sentences just gets under my skin.
-The same applies to sylvari roleplaying “down syndrome sylvari” or “I totally just woke up and for some reason I showed up in Divinity’s Reach!”
-If you roleplay any antagonist and you make them show up at bars, this also applies.
-I do not adhere to the “people should roleplay what they want” logic at all, in case this was not obvious enough. I have a lot of oddball character concepts; I keep them to private roleplay. Just like you execute common sense in public areas, I believe similar common sense gestures, even if it cripples your fun, should be applied to common-ground roleplay zones. I understand it is an unhealthy attitude on my part, but I don’t care for your Yoshiko Himawari The Third Priestess of Balthazar Omniscent Mesmer Owner of Twenty Noblehouses and Second Queen of Kryta, what can I say.

By all accounts and likelyhood, if Anet wanted to go through with what how they hinted everything in the buildup instead of adding more and more new characters and content nobody will remember; Mordremoth’s champion would be Faolain.
Faolain and Caithe discovered Mordremoth’s corruption. Caithe resisted it through will, Faolain gave into it for power. She went bonkers, and started spreading it through the Nightmare Court, this being what Scarlet knew and blackmailed Caithe with assumedly through the Aetherblade path/section of Twilight Arbor.
Faolain is still alive, and has merely retreated from the Arbor. She’ll return, probably further insane.

Of course this may have already taken a 180 degree turn for “nah, man, original characters”, but.

The Charr have the largest combined armies and territories of all the player races (although the Charr as a race aren’t a united nation or force). What we see in game is only the Iron Legions territory (Ascalon). From what I can tell each region / legion has an Imperator and the tribunes govern their particular legion within the other legions territory.

I am not sure about that. I would argue its the humans since if you include the blood/ash legion for the charr you could also include cantha for the humans. With that humans should have the most territories and most likely even the most forces since cantha had (and probably still has) the biggest human population of all gw1 continents. And unlike elona, cantha doesnt seem to be in a bad state but who knows what is happen in the currently unaccessable parts…

I am sure one hundred years of isolation, going into a homicidical, xenophobic rampage to murder everything that’s not a very strict pure-breed canthan within canthan borders, being sieged by potentially two dragons at the same time and losing a whole race’s support which NOPE’d away after watching the craziness means by now they are happy and having tea parties with no particular issues.

Actually we dont know anything about cantha at the moment, but converasions with Zephyrites imply that cantha is rather doing well, because of that i said “seem to be”.

We know the Tengu said they had all pretty much gone insane and attempted to murder everyone in sight they deemed an outsider. As the NPCs in Divinity’s Reach state “Really? Moving to Cantha? The Tengu were the last ones to make that trip, and they made sure it was an one-way one.”

But Anet’s priorities are hayware and all over the place.

Charr vs Human vs Asura vs Norn

In our current timespan, 1327 AE, Charr have already defeated the major threat of Flame Legion, being Gaheron and Burntclaw. There are only Ghosts to go, to be honest.

After that, they would nearly be free of dangers, Sure, there’s The Scar, but it doesn’t seem like a constant war, more like protecting a border.

Who would fall first? Many say that it would be Humans and looking at the map, it would be true. When Divinity’s Reach is surrounded by water and fortified, the rest of Kryta could be conquered in matter of days. Also, almost no advanced weaponry.

But for the first “to go” I’d say Sylvari. Sorry, but their weaknesses are patheticly obvious. Burn down the Pale Tree and there you go.

Charr would win every war with mortal race. It’s a military-centred society of deadly hellcats. Who would stand against them, their weaponry, numbers, and tactics ?

1) Flame Legion was defeated by pact forces; Up until their assistance, the united legions didn’t hold a candle against them.
2)The Brand IS a constant war. It is specifically stated by the NPCs all through it that the only way they can survive against it is by constantly pitching resources at it.

3)While the setting provides its differences(I.E scattered magic user charr, and playable ones), it is easy to assume charr have no proper management against magic given their complete denial of its usage and overall distaste towards the subject.
Taking in mind non-technologically advanced humans have been able to hold them off and keep them at bay, as far as defeating them in the sieges of Ebonhawke, both human capabilities for pulling a Jennah’s City-sized phantasm or asuran arcane technology (plus their surplus of golems) would easily stand a chance regardless of the military devotion of their resources. As it stands, charr territory is the one with the worst chances of actually holding a war and winning; too many things would have fun killing them. Ghosts, branded, human, already-in-territory Ascalonians, ogres (which are labeled a -major- threat to charr despite the setting only showing it halfishly), still-present Flame Legion and then some newly arrived, scattered mordrem.

Which leader is being targeted?

The Charr have the largest combined armies and territories of all the player races (although the Charr as a race aren’t a united nation or force). What we see in game is only the Iron Legions territory (Ascalon). From what I can tell each region / legion has an Imperator and the tribunes govern their particular legion within the other legions territory.

I am not sure about that. I would argue its the humans since if you include the blood/ash legion for the charr you could also include cantha for the humans. With that humans should have the most territories and most likely even the most forces since cantha had (and probably still has) the biggest human population of all gw1 continents. And unlike elona, cantha doesnt seem to be in a bad state but who knows what is happen in the currently unaccessable parts…

I am sure one hundred years of isolation, going into a homicidical, xenophobic rampage to murder everything that’s not a very strict pure-breed canthan within canthan borders, being sieged by potentially two dragons at the same time and losing a whole race’s support which NOPE’d away after watching the craziness means by now they are happy and having tea parties with no particular issues.

Is endgame being developed, or what?

I think you are missing the point of core cooperation rather than competitiveness. It is more ‘social’ to cooperate or, at least, not have to compete to get mats from nodes, or XP and drops from mobs. It fosters a friendlier environment, where you may make a friend, rather than an enemy because no one is irritated that you ‘stole’ his/her kill or material or whatever.

That’s all. Geez!

OT – I enjoy what this game offers, and I don’t feel the need for any of the OP’s proposed ‘endgame’. There are, of course, things I would like added to the game, but I’m sure most would not consider them their definition of ‘endgame’.

I have to agree. I find that this game is more social, because In other games I have played (cough) WoW ( cough)…if someone is fighting something and dieing, and I jump in to help, there have been times I got yelled at.

Here, I can Jump in and help, and people actually thank me.

rly? did you even bother to read my explanation of why comparing this game to WoW doesn’t make this game “social”?

Cooperative, MAYBE (even tho that’s arguable), but by far NOT-social.

I would not be surprised if people had lost the will to spin the old wheel of your posts by now, this being me just saying, but it seems as if both them and this thread just spinned in a never ending loophole.

Do any NPCs wear T3 cultural medium?

in Human

Nope. And I would say it is due to the fact T3 medium looks so exceedingly canthan in design, it would be heavily mismatched with the rest of the designs for Krytan NPCs.

Never understood why it was so hard to just toggle town clothes as being able to be used in battle.
Would have saved them the whole outfit shenanigans, would have made people that invested in town clothes happy, would have made town clothes themselves useful, would have spared everyone the horrible “roflmao everything is a tonic now XD” thing, which is quite possibly one of the worst choices in management I have seen in my gaming life, and it would have spared them having to dispense a million refunds.

No. clue.

Why can’t our character be the one to die in the story for once. We will probably have a better story with our character being the one to die and then come back to life after a small time gap in the storyline.

Will s/he be pieced together by asuran scientists, except from the Inquest, where we will find out that they in fact have some humane collaborators that feel like real human beings that will join our party as we are forced to carry out tasks for them for they have the technology others don’t, too?

Game Updates: Traits

1. New players can’t properly learn their class through PVE anymore, because you get traits too slow

This, in fact. I can’t stress this enough. Full signet guardians. Full signet guardians everywhere! Without the experimentation through the leveling process, there are so many people that have no idea how to actually build their characters, and the only thing the leveling process has taught them is to stay away from traits and just get their passives through skill slots.
