New Pets?

Raptors! I want a pet raptor, we know they CAN be tamed cos Ogres use them all the time. There’s even an asura npc (Kozzak) who has a pet raptor (Shrieksy).

Bathos.6341

I get really annoyed by parties that spend 20 minutes kicking people to get a perfect metta party when all they’re trying to do is AC! I can sort of see the point if it were Arah, but AC is seriously not that difficult that you have to min/max EVERYTHING.

I have played the game since the beta weekends, but have never once bought a single black lion key because I HATE RNG LOCKBOXES.

I mostly play charrs, and will usually try and revive downed charr players first, all things being equal (IE I’ll revive a guildmate before some random charr player, but if both are guildies, I’ll save the charr first).

I really want a /facepalm emote sometimes when pugging dungeons or fractals.

I think Raptors are cute.

I actually kind of admire dragons, and if they were not trying to kill us all would probably choose to hang out with them.

[Question] Why not Fishing?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Bathos.6341

Bathos.6341

Even if they just added fish as a drop from killing fishes that’d be a start. But that would also require a load of fish based recepies for cookery.

I’d have kind of liked “Sapper” or “Pioneer” but then that’s mostly because my engy is Charr and those are names for combat engineers.

I’d kind of like to kill traherne, ala zombie Rurik in GW1. I mean the ONE time, we let him run a battle without the player to hold his hand and he screws up and sails the entire pact air fleet into a trap with NO advanced guard to scout for trouble ahead of the main fleet. This guy has the strategic skill and command sense of General Melchett. BAAAAH!!

Revenant story = not chronological?

Retcon probably. Somewhat like how events in GW1 Prophesies/factions/nightfall could happen in any order depending which one you started your character in.

Maybe Rytlock became a revenant...

Ah well, I figure Logan takes more after Keiran Thakery than Gwen. A guy so lazy he sends out any random adventerer he meets to do all the work of setting up his date with Gwen. Then takes all the credit himself!

Only thing i want.. New Combat Sounds

One thing that confuses me is that about the loudest sound I can make with my warrior’s greadsword is by throwing it at a rabbit! surely hitting someone in heavy metal armour ought to make more noise than hitting a tiny unamoured ambiant mob?

Oola (another good candidate for the Asura, and slightly less madd than Gadd).
Asgeir Dragonrender (I’m not sure on his skills, but anyone who can punch an elder dragon in the mouth and survive has got to be useful )

Shatterer's dilemma

Posted by: Bathos.6341

Well it’s not just Shatterer, to be honest I find it amusing that pretty much killing any dragon in GW2 (besides Zhaitan) invloves mobbing around their ankles and essentially pedicuring them to death! lol

I hate lockboxes and other rng sinks. if I see something I like on sale in the gem store I’ll buy it if I can afford it. but I’m not going to pay blindly for a pot luck container in hope that it just MIGHT be something I want. same reason I have none of the special dyes, I liked quite a few of them. But if they want me to buy limited edition dye packs at least garantee me I’ll get ONE OF THEM, rng for which one is enough, making it less than 50% chance to get any limited edition dye instead of a normal dye is just trolling on Anet’s part.

how to make this costume?

Bathos.6341

Shoulders “Dark” skin, from WvW, Boots and probably gloves “Plated” skin. side on and with his arm in the way can’t tell what the chest is beyond the fact it’s a full chest piece not one of the parial plate and chain ones. Pants are Arah as previously stated, and as helmet is hidden, could be anything.

Post a pic of your character only if your armor is mix-n-match

Bathos.6341

My engineer’s got probably the most mixed gear, though all my charr have matched gear not sets to get around clipping or badly fitting parts.
Armour consists of 3 parts Arah medium, T3 medium cultural boots, Fused Gauntlets and Horns of the dragon helm. Finished off with a Holographic dragon wings backpiece.

I agree the Charr have more broken armour pieces than most, but that’s not to say you can’t work around it. Even my charr necro (Light armour is the trickiest to fit for charr) found gear that suited him by the time he hit level 80.

I don’t know about you, but the first thing I thought of when i saw that ship hanging there upside down was the Poseidon adventure!
Odd thing, in a pen in the hold (top) of the ship there are WHITE chickens. Theseare the first alternate coloured chickens I have seen in GW2, so I wonder if the ship originated on another continent and these animals are maybe decended from the original cargo?

Best Pet Name Ever

I’ve changed my ranger’s pets recently. But at one time I had an Eagle called Eddy. (if you’re British and 30+you’ll get that joke). While the other pet was a Brown Bear called “General Vladimir” (RA2)!
One time while experimenting with Devourers I named mine “Rocktail Jr”

Best Jumping Puzzle EVER

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Bathos.6341

Bathos.6341

It’s a good jumping puzzlein that it’s actually achallenge to find your way through it rather than just adding time limits or inconvenient mechanics. That said, I still think Super Adventure Box was better. Better rewards too!

Is "Living Story" interesting?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Bathos.6341

Bathos.6341

1) yes,but thankfully not too often.
2) Occasional good moments, but also alot of dull parts.
3)On and off, Some bosses have interesting mechanics, but by and large the mordrem mobs are mostly annyoing rather than interesting.
4)No,it’s mostly the same bunch of reserve characters we had following us around at the end of season 1. Doing the same rather disjointed episodic content invarably involving backtracking all over the place at random,and then having a short boss fight at the end of each act.
5) Not really, most of the rewardsare time gated and requre farming a lot of new stuff. The Luminous armour looks ok,if you want to glow blue,but requires you to complete all the story achivements in the episodes they are connected to, which are a pain to do.
6)Maybe A-Net knows,no one else does.
7)Not really. If you really want the new armour, or the dry top backpice buy the relevant parts for those, and leave the rest.

Something similar to that.
On a side note, A hammered Dulcimer would also be very nice as this is one of my all time favorite instuments.

Speaking as a charr player, I found plenty of activity in the charr race discussion forum. hell there were running sections on how to put together armor that worked,and name ideas threads that ran continuously for over 2 years without ever having to be bumped. I generally posted something in there at least once a week, and checked it at least 3-4 times.

What happened to player race discussion?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Bathos.6341

Bathos.6341

Seriously, why have all the sections for discussing lore/rp elements specific to our chosen player races been removed to archive!?
Are we no longer allowed to discuss ways to RP in a lore freindly manner for our chosen race?
Must we now trawl through the generic lore discussion section to try and find something relevant?
For me those were by far the sections of this forum I got the most entertainment from reading, and for one I think removing themis a colossal step backwards for the quality of this forum.

New armor/class question

why Charr/Gods hate each other?

in Charr

Posted by: Bathos.6341

Bathos.6341

The Tyrian human Gods are much like the Greek gods, in that they are petty, back-stabbing deieties who only a fool of a human would rely on. But the main reason besides the Human gods basically setting their pet race on the charr and essentially ethnicly clensing their southern hunting grounds to build ascalon is that the charr had some pretty awful gods themselves. First it was the Titans, which were just monsters really, and ended up getting destroyed by the player, with advice from Glint in GW1. Then looking for a new god to keep their control on the warbands the flame legion shamans turned to destroyer worship. Essentially now they are as corrupted as the sons of svanir, just to Primordus instead of Jormag.
So to the majority of Charr Gods mean either meddling imortals trying to rearrange the world to suit themselves, or demons corrupt shamans sell their souls to in order to tyranise their fellow charr.

My feeling is this, most charr went along with the war to retake their homeland. The attacks on Kryta and Orr, were the flame legion’s doing. This is the main reason for the change in attitude from “Destroy all humans!” in GW1 to “Get off my land!” in GW2 Flame legion still hates humanity just as much as they did back in GW1 as their book “One hundred and one reasons why all Humans should die, Vol III” found in iron marches demonstrates.

Oh and the Tengu isn’t just a random weapon smith, he’s a famous master smith known across Tyria (this is why the pact invited him) He’s kind of like a major industrial leader amoung Tengu, so ought to have some influence, such people tend to at least be on good terms with the military command of their nation.
