Guild Wars 2

Palador.2170:

… faith…

Gross.

It probably wanted the avatar. Even though it’s just a mouthpiece, the tree itself is likely imbued with potent magic. If Mordremoth could eat the avatar, it might be able to channel it’s powers through the avatar to consume the Tree.

The time they’re on their back is enough, their exposed bellies melt like wax. By the time they flip back over, they get a dagger in the skull.

I like fighting them, as annoying as others can make them.

What Caithe and Trahearne want to protect is the tree, not it’s mouthpiece. The Wardens can better kitten her damage if they can speak with the avatar and be directed to where healing and warriors need to be.

I wonder what is in her Chamber, to warrant a dragon, that Mordremoth wants. Maybe it was coming for the ambassadors, but we acted to quickly for it.

Zenon.4328:

I have gotten the achievement, but the problem I find with this event is actually greed, and I’m not talking about the skritts.

When too many people are doing this event, the enemies do get scale up to Elites and Champions, and then people totally ignore the skritt thieves and just focus on the Champions even when it isn’t a Champion Skritt Thief.

I’ve seen the focus on Champions, but either they burn quickly or there’s other people actually stopping the Thieves.

I often wonder what it is from Champion bags that drives these farmers mad. Boss Blitz levels of loot I understand, but piecemeal like this..

This used to be one of my pet peeves. I won’t even excuse someone with a job, if you wanna run Explorable, you better have done Story.
Now I just try to be the one that started the instance, lest I’m grieved.

There’s a difference…

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Konig Des Todes.2086:

It’s pointblank stated that whatever would be left of Abaddon was absorbed by Kormir – so if Abaddon had a soul, it’s within Kormir’s body, but his will is broken. As she says “his knowledge, his power, but not him. His will is broken.”

I always took it as when their bodies are destroyed their soul, imbued with divine power, goes rampant and threatens to explode – unless absorbed by another, during which there’s a war of wills and whomever loses, loses for eternity.

I thought I understood it as her “pushing him out”. Like the godhood mantle would just coalesce back into Abaddon (as in reform), but someone “taming” the mantle would snuff him out of existence since usually one doesn’t think about a cosmic entity having a soul.

Off-topic: I don’t hate Kormir for the reasons most do. She said something to me that made it seem like I was incompetent or foolish. I just RESCUED your kitten

FlamingFoxx.1305:

The final mission of Nightfall was preeeety clear about Abaddon being completely and utterly destroyed and Kormir absorbing (just) his power. So if they do have souls – their souls can be destroyed.

I wasn’t clear on that.

Adamantium.3682:

If you can only access it from Challenger Cliffs, I think that is fair game.

Oh that’s a good one! Wait, is it the one you Aspect-jump under the cliff? I was hoping I had gotten a clue to my twelfth (I don’t actively look for them).

I was thinking about if we’d visit an area of the Mists outside of PvP and holidays, when my Abaddon fanboy-ism reared it’s ugly head and asked (for the second time) about where Abaddon could be if he has a soul.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Nkuvu.2570:

I fail…

Yes, you do.

I’d prefer my attention wasn’t divided between what I can spot as possible Achievements, resisting the urge to check for Achievements, and the story.

Dusty Moon.4382:

Capes are so yesterday….

Gurl, you speaking my language!
I feel like capes obstruct the eye candy, and there’s already so many things displaying what guild I’m in.

Boneheart.3561:

I wouldn’t call what Faux typed “critique”.
Lacking or complete, it represents their talent. I’ll not stand by while someone hurls insults because of the possibility that it isn’t affecting their target.

No, calling it crappy wasn’t critique and I don’t blame you for standing up for other people. Under different circumstances I might be doing the same.

I just don’t think calling it crappy is harsh or means much of anything. For all we know, he could be saying that the item itself is simply unappealing overall, not that the art is poorly made.

Personally, I would almost laugh if I created something and someone said, “It’s crap” with no other information. My reaction would just be like, “Why exactly? The hell does that even mean?” It’s kind of hard to take offense to something like that.

I didnt mean the crappy as in the artist art is bad, but as In I personal dont like it.

We have to remain level-headed when we chose our words. Especially if we wanna be heard.

“It’s supper time.”

locoman.1974:

Renn.8241:

I do recall him saying “I now have my target” or something along those lines

At least according to the wiki, he didn’t (would have to replay it):

Countess Anise: Very well, Canach. Playtime is over and you’ve passed your audition. You’re to go with them.
Canach: Why?
Countess Anise: I want you to learn what you can about the Pact’s plans. Follow them to their staging area.
Countess Anise: I need someone there I know can get the job done, and I believe you may be that someone.
Canach: I shall prove you correct. Until we meet again

Closest is this bit before the summit began:

Canach: When will you tell me why you brought me here?
Countess Anise: I’m trying to decide if I can trust you out in the field. I mean, after that nasty business on Southsun. Tsk.
Canach: Regardless of what you may believe, I was trying to free those refugees from the Consortium’s exploitation.
Canach: I went about it…poorly. Criminally. And I answered for my crimes.
Countess Anise: Your intentions in that affair, whether noble or not, aren’t what concern me. It’s your failure to evade capture.
Canach: I beg your pardon?
Countess Anise: Noble intentions don’t interest me. What I need is a sharp instrument. A knife that can be employed before anyone realizes it’s struck.
Canach: Show me where to cut, Countess, and I will be your blade.

And pasting this one just because I found it hilarious..

Canach: Do you treat everyone you encounter like children?
Countess Anise: (laugh) You are a delicate flower, aren’t you? So easily bruised…
Canach: I have a thick skin. I also learn from my missteps. For example, you fooled me once with your illusions, so now I wonder if you’re truly as young as–
Countess Anise: Do not finish that sentence. Not here, not ever.
Canach: At least, a substantial response.

I think he mentions his target when you speak to him.

Renn.8241:

I do recall him saying “I now have my target” or something along those lines

Yeah, Fort Trinity.

Renn.8241:

Canach now has what seems to an assassination target, but who?

My understanding was that she just wanted him placed there, no target given. Granted, what else she says sounds like she wants an assassin.
But the thought that Anise wants to “promote” me jumped to mind, from reading your post.

Labjax.2465:

Boneheart.3561:

This is somebody’s baby. Someone drew this item, and quite possibly the same person designed it’s model, and at the end thought ’I’m so proud of this design’. Then you took all of two seconds to flip them off. Everyone knows you won’t be liked by everyone, but we’re still made of flesh and that kitten stings.

Have some godkitten civility, please.

I kind of agree with you in that these are human beings, not machines, whose work we criticize. But on the other hand, as someone who has artistic inclinations, I can be 10x more critical of my own work than other people ever will and if you’re in the thick of a development process, you may not actually have time to get your idea to a point that you’re fully satisfied with it.

So although the scenario you described is possible, it’s equally possible that someone made it and wasn’t satisfied with the final product, but had to say it was done anyway because of time constraints.

Artistic people tend to have stuff that they are really proud of and stuff that just didn’t happen right to them, and you might be surprised sometimes which projects they’re most proud of – often, it will have little to do with how well or poorly it was received.

Incendirax.3567:

I currently have 768 gold in my wallet, though I have about 1200g worth of investments, and own six legendaries!

Oo! I have 1,300g in crafting materials.

ZudetGambeous.9573:

An item you actually have to work for and can’t outright buy… THE HORROR!!! What is this world coming to… having to work for rewards… disgusting..

My thoughts exactly

I have all the mats, I can make it for basically free, I have 100’s of gold, I can buy if I really wanted to, the point i, the items/work involved in it TO ME, again, its ME, I dont feel like it anywhere worth its cost/time to make, TO ME it feels like Anet is trolling us with gold sinks. I DONT agree with it.

This wasnt meant to tell YOU TO STOP making it, YOU CAN DO WHAT EVER YOU WANT, its your game, play it how you want, this post was for anets eyes.

Please do a quick rundown of the price of the mats needed for the backpiece.

Now compare it to the other ascended bakcpieces you can ‘buy’ (like Boyer’s delight and such).

Enjoy the results.

I made Tome of Rubicon waaaaay back when it was introduced. I bought an entire stack of Ancient Bone and I think the most gold I had before that was 70. Imagine if I tried to make it now, good lord.

553g.

Leo Paul.1659:

I just want the option to threaten him or some smart gibe to make sure he knows I’m on to him and will cut him down if he tries anything funny.

Phlunt: “I’m demanding another stipulation.”

ricky markham.8173:

… wish they would have done this type of job in season 1.

Irk.

I try not to think about how this story will climax, given how intense the fight for Lion’s Arch was.

This scavenger hunt has me excited for the possibility of completely re-imagining Legendary crafting.

If the Living Story is really taking a break to wait for the Feature Pack, I’m anticipating completing the available steps for this back piece.

ZudetGambeous.9573:

NO ONE ACTUALLY PVP’S IN THIS GAME.

Whoa whoa, who was this NPC? I listened to just about everything everyone said, I didn’t catch this.

Faux.1937:

… crappy back.

Then we would be short on manpower and thinking power against Mordremoth. The asura would call for your arrest, turtle in Rata Sum when Mordrem attack, the Summit wouldn’t commence and none of the leaders would come together. Everyone would be divided and made easy meals for the Dragons.
Maybe Trahearne could convince the Summit to commence without the asura, but who would listen to murderous/unhinged Pact members.

Phlunt, he was closest. Then I thought Smodur might need help and decided to come back to Phlunt. Then Jennah, because Knut might enjoy the fight as I am.

Has anyone pointed out that Phlunt’s removal of Taimi’s device is not only a legal move, but one Taimi knew about? I think I remember her mentioning that because she wasn’t in Rata Sum the law shouldn’t apply?
Phlunt seems to have a stick up his butt, but I think his position as Councillor (read: dealing with other asura as a job) put it there. He did the right thing by confiscating a supremely dangerous device from a child that was willing to get herself and her team wiped from existence, just for Scarlet memorabilia (hot kitten , I spelled it correctly).

Manasa Devi.7958:

Taimi is only a part of the team because the story never gave me the chance to act like a normal person and keep children away from extremely violent enterprises.

My understanding was that it would take time away from the Marionette. Arguing with her wouldn’t work and she’s inside a golem that could “disagree” with you.

babislovesnatch.8706:

So much hostility for Taimi and most of it seems to stem from the fact of her age.
I want to remind you all that Taimi is an integral part of the team. Without her we never would have found the leyline hub, let alone survived getting inside of it…

She almost killed us to get inside her idol’s lab.

Rephrased: Our sister almost got us hit by a train for five non-front row seats to Justin Bieber’s concert.

BrotherBelial.3094:

It just would have been nice to give him some attitude as an option.

Phlunt: “I’m demanding another stipulation.”

You gave me hiccups!

Everything was fine until that dragon showed up, couldn’t save myself from a Leecher and Tendril phase (I exit episode on defeat, no respawn). I remedied that with a Peach Pie and being more aware of the stomp’s tell. Whooped him, haven’t tried Challenge Mode yet (if I can find this Mote). Awesome fight, 10/10, would bang.

Phlunt’s a kitten, which is nothing new of your typical asura. But I’m gonna listen to him, over the child that has stated she’s risked our lives without consent and behaved like a child when her invention was about to be taken away.

Anmida.4058:

I know I say this often, but.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
And this is why Anet keeps butchering the writting quality over and over.

Dah poor guuuurl! She doesn’t want to give her discovery away so we can save the world! Why can’t we murder political relationships with Rata Sum to please the unsupervised child that almost got kitten murdered for being too moronic to realize running into inquest territory on her own may cause damage?!

And that’s exactly why none of you get choices.

100% Ferocity character. I was ready to bite Taimi’s head off for almost getting herself, and ME, killed. Phlunt said he’d give the device back after she graduated, I just wanted the option to ask Phlunt’s absolute assurance that the device is her invention and would stay that way.

This episode took two of my favorite things, detective work and solo-beating the crap out of huge dangerous monsters, and put them together. This might be the first episode I’m eager to play again.

I made huge mistakes in the investigation, I wanna say I’ve been conditioned to having my hand held through most dialogue (not so much the math problems in Brisban Wildlands). And a habit of exploring options which made me briefly forget about the Suspicion meter. When I was kicked out of the party, I liked Anise’s safety net, very believable.

Shadow of the Dragon gave me a run for my money, this was the first time I’ve ever felt the need to use food in solo-play. Loved my dialogue in protecting the Pale Tree.

Off-topic: Did anyone get two Mysterious Seeds when going to Iron Marches? Haven’t started growing my single one, but the new imbue items and people linking the Exotic back piece have me a tad confused.

OH! The Minister that was interested in me! I didn’t like my awkward response, I wanted to get her number, she seemed like she could handle norn.

Durzlla.6295:

digiowl.9620:

Meh. Both the leyline hub fight and the end fight felt like a case of ANet telling me to get screwed for not running a DPS build.

I cleared it my first try on each while running a Clerics build with 0 points into the offensive trees (I’m a ranger and was running 0/0/4/4/6) and had little to no difficult, I actually shuttered at dealing with a few encounters as a zerker due to all the retal.

Necromancer, Peach Pie.

I used to feel bad taking someone’s spot at Tequatl on a specific World, and I’ve mentioned as much to two or three natives. No comments, they didn’t seem to care, they just ferried in anyone that knew who to know. I don’t even think they tell anyone to re-zone or log out to Character Select (at least not often), everyone’s pretty kitten familiar with the fight.

runeblade.7514:

So why not add spears to Guardians instead?

Why completely invent a whole new class when it can easily be solved with a simple weapon addition?

I don’t think you were completely clear in pointing out that Monk and Paragon were combined into Guardian.

You weren’t suppose to feel loss.

Danikat.8537:

If they’re needed later on (and I want the item) I’ll save them up later on.

I’m not going to waste bank or inventory space saving materials on the off chance that I need them one day. It’s not like it’s hard to get more.

That’s easy, just craft them into Bricks, each one is only two Obsidian Shards and ten Thermocatalytic Reagents.

I love how often they drop. I can afford to delete any past my maximum deposit, because if I need more later they’ll just fall in my lap.

Because they look awesome.

Even if they changed it’s process into a scavenger hunt, the desire would still mostly be for their awesome skin.
