Guild Wars 2

I have this problem too. People should be kicked from the mini game after staying idle for a whole match imo.

I must agree with Kal Spiro here. I have no problems with my ranger at all, and I run an improvised condition build. I am hard to kill, and I don’t use my pet to tank, I use pets mostly for their buffs and conditions (like the fern hound’s heal and the pink moa’s stun). My first run of the Molten Facility was with two other rangers and we did just fine and had a lot of fun. I love to play my ranger both in pve and pvp, and she is my main since the headstart.
I don’t use my necro’s minions, she is a conditionmancer (I like conditions, alright? xD), and she is great too. I never took her to sPvP or WvW though.

Ohh I really miss the SAB. I am so glad it is coming back!

I would like my wolf to be about the size of Garm.
Thank you.

Your talking about NCSoft now remember? Their penchant for epic cuteness has world renown and they already know that it makes them $$$.

If you mix that with Anet’s historical pandering to what is ridiculously funny, you will get the gem store!
I’m fine with that. I just wish my human noble could wear a proper long dress. Meanwhile, my asura’s ears are warm and cozy under a fuzzy quaggan hat with a bow.

As long as the mini is exotic, then it’s quite fitting. Take a look at the exotics on the trading post. Some are much worse than 63g.

Furthermore, I doubt everyone will be hitting exactly that amount. Most will probably hit right in between, making it a good 30g mini. Still needs to be exotic though, imo.

This.
63g is not that much for a mini that will only be available for a limited time. I would gladly pay twice that price for Foostivoo the Merry (I want that mini so much, but I couldn’t get it ç-ç).

I remember that a dev said that yes, you will still be able to complete the achievement.
I can’t find the post right now, though.

Then I have no idea of what is happening. I almost always get something from killing anything at Southsun Cove.
Good luck.

Um… I don’t think that farming karka qualifies as part of the living story.
Anyway, are you using the MF buff that the settler negotiator gives you?

Phoenix.7845:

If Molten Facility would be added as a fractal then people would hate it more then the dredge one just because it’s too long.

They could condense it to make it short enough. Like that:
Short tunnel with no side rooms → Weapon Testing (but shorter) → one cold room → one corridor full of dredge, flame legion and prisoners → bosses.
Or maybe just they could fragment the dungeon in multiple fractals.
I don’t know, I am no fractal runner, I only went there a couple of times because my ranger needed a quiver. I just think that it is a shame that such a great dungeon was removed from the game.

I would love it. There are so many things in game that the Living Story should rebuild! Not only Orr, but also Ascalon.
I must say that after completing Trahearne’s Wyld Hunt, I thought I would see some changes to Orr. I mean, I thought that the land would show some signs of healing for me (and for the other players that completed the quest).
Also, there must be a way to rebuild Ascalon. The situation of the ascalonians is horrible right now. They have no voice in the ministry, their settlements are constantly attacked by centaurs and the Flame Legion and the dragon’s corruption are knocking on Ebonhawke’s door.
I would love to see the Owl Lodge being rebuilt, too. The Owl might be dead, but her teachings still live on. Also, it would be good for closure, since the norns still mourn Owl’s death.
That would make me so happy!

I would love that. It would make me actually want to collect dyes.

You know what would be nice IMO?
If the boxes would drop two kinds of token. One token would be the extremely rare (that already exists) and that would be traded for the skin, 1 for 1, and another one that would be more common and that would drop from every box (maybe every box having a chance of dropping 5~15 of these tokens), and you could use a bunch of them (let’s say, 250) to trade for a skin.
Still RNG, people would still buy a bunch of boxes but at last you would have some kind of progression and would know when you were getting close to get a skin (by having enough tokens) AND you still would be able to randomly get the rare token.

Oh dear, I would explode with joy, and then explode again!
Little Barracuda <3
Good job, that’s the mini there is at the top of my list of wanted minis, now. It replaced Mini Shashoo.

That’s Evon Gnashblade for you. He is into cute stuff. If you have a problem with that, you can go talk to him. Good luck xD

I rush in before anybody has a chance to make a wish and ask for more hairstyles.
Or for ressing Tybalt. That works, too.

I believe they did.
This is not an one time event, so we all can just try again
And again, and again, and again.

I have high expectations for the festival, but I still want to know who my nemesis is! xD
I mean, it wasn’t Canach, right? (Was it supposed to be Canach?)
So… Now we play the guessing game? Kiel said something about securing the area for the festival, so it looks like that was the whole point of the Southsun Cove bit of the Living Story.
My guess is that something will go terribly wrong during the festival, but not like the Halloween or the Wintersday (Toypocalypse and stuff). Worse. Like “this-is-a-war” worse.
I can’t wait!

I don’t think there is any lore behind it, if that’s what you are looking for. Probably just a cool looking skin that people would want to get and that they wanted to release during an event. You know, like how Canach’s appearance changed completely and no NPC seemed to notice it. There WAS an “explanation” for that in the forums, but it sounded more like an excuse for something that was not thought through. I wouldn’t be surprised if the same happened with the skins.

I must admit that I didn’t think twice and bought the version with a bow.
Now my asura looks adorable, and it will keep her ears warm <3
Lovely addition to the store. I want an outfit that looks nice with it.

Arrow.3856:

So whats the point of this armor merchant?

Getting cheap lvl 80 exotics, I guess?
It is no use for me really, since none of my characters need the new armor’s stats.

The skins are the same of really low lvl whites, that’s the problem.

Give me a Baby Devourer like Frostbite and I will live happily ever after.

The Moa Chick is tiny, so why can’t the kitten be tiny too?

I had a blast looking for samples, playing Crab Toss and farming DEs, but I really hated the instances and the way the story was delivered.
What I’m saying is that MOST OF the event is fun, IMO. You should give it a try. If you enjoy playing PvP, you will probably like Crab Toss. I know I do.

Seriously? Using illegal programs in this game is like asking someone to drink water for you during a hot Summer day. It is pointless and you won’t enjoy any of it.
There really is no limit for people’s laziness.

I can agree with that. I wonder if he’ll be part of the new Destiny’s Edge alongside Braham and Rox. He has that ‘will do what’s necessary’ vibe.

Yeah. That would be very cool.
Would fit with Caithe. She also is not the “every time nice”-character and has done things that weren’t all good. Like killing a nightmare courtier who my character promised will live when he tells us what we wanted to know.

I agree with both of you.
Niyo, my Sylvari character couldn’t trust Caithe ever again after that part of the personal story. She still tries to avoid talking about that and to go anywhere near Caithe.
I really hope that Canach, Braham and Rox won’t simply disappear from our lives. I really like them. I want to see Braham forgiving Eir someday, and Rox being accepted into Rytlock’s warband. Also, I would love to see Canach healing.
It is funny, but I felt so proud of Braham and Rox after the Molten Facility… Like if they really were my friends, people that I care about, and not just a bunch of data xD
Makes me think of Tybalt, to be honest. I really miss him. I wish I could have made this kind of connection to Trahearne, though, but I couldn’t and I have no idea why.

Well, I see how that might be upsetting. However, I don’t think the whole brazilian (and maybe south-american) community should be punished because of a few rotten apples.
I have no idea of how big these communities are, I give you that, but I’m sure that most of them are good players.

Um… How about having a couple of servers for South America, but not FORCING people that live there to transfer?
I mean, I am sure a lot of players must feel more comfortable when playing with people that speak their language.
However, I think that giving people options is always good. I’m sure a lot of people wouldn’t like to be forced to go play in other servers.
I must say that I never had problems in Tarnished Coast with players from an specific country.

I got my achievement with my main (she is a Ranger) and I had no problem with that. I had to try three times, that’s true, but only because the achievement didn’t trigger the first two times (I have no idea why, I’m sure it wasn’t my pet’s fault).
Set my wolf on passive, choose three bombs that were next to a part that had no bombs and kept flipping them until Canach was defeated. My pet is mostly my extra DPS, since my build is not pet-dependent, and since DPS didn’t matter against Canach, I had no problem.

Mini Dolyak Calf, Mini Fern Hound Pup, Mini Thorn Wolf Pup, Mini Canach, Mini Baby Quaggan (without a hat, not like Foostivoo), Mini Pink Quaggan, Mini Shashoo (she is a "Killer Whale Quaggan), Mini Doern Velazquez, Mini Pirate Quaggan (that one that was running around LA during the Halloween Event).
These are the ones that I would buy immediately after they are released.

Orpheal.8263:

There is and always will be only 1 solution…

ANet should give the game some servers more and declare them as OFFICIAL RP-Servers.
Official RP-Servers, which will have their very own indepentdent official RP-Rules, that people have to follow, of they want to create there characters or want to change servers from an non RP-Server to one, that has an official RP-Tag.

Official RP servers, with
- Naming Rules

Please, not this. This would destroy Tarnished Coast.
Instead of this, how about a “roleplaying mode”? You check a box and the color of your name will change for everybody else (or maybe an icon would show up next to your name, like when you are “looking for group”). That way, roleplayers would be able to easily identify each other and randomly roleplay with each other around Tyria. Then, just ignore everyone else. Hardcore Roleplayers already ignore everybody that don’t follow the naming conventions, anyway.

I agree with the rest of your post (the part that I didn’t quote).

Well, I assume “character that we help instead of attacking” = good xD
After all, the event will fail if nobody shows up to help killing the skritts.

Or you could just trade with them, like one of the NPCs suggested, instead of killing them.
Both the cases offer a better and less lethal alternative. The thing is, in both cases, the character chooses the worst and most extreme one, but one character is “good” and the other is “evil” for doing that.

That makes sense.
Let me put that on my list of reasons for disliking the Queen xD
Skritts are people too! (I would start a riot, but I don’t want people trying to kill me for chests)

Niyo.5920:

He risks it for the greater good (in his eyes). Collateral damage, so to speak.
A bit extreme, yes. But his intentions to help are good. Only his ways aren’t.

About being extreme, I wonder why is this suddenly such a bad thing.
It is ok to blow up a cave full of skritts to protect your property, even if one of your co-workers suggested that you just tried to trade with them. That happens right under the Queen’s nose and nobody cares. I believe that mass murdering a sentient race because they stole your logging tools is pretty extreme.
However, it is not ok to be extreme when you are trying to free a lot of people that lost everything. They lost their homes, their families and friends, and now their freedom, but you are not allowed to help them by doing anything extreme.

My ONLY problem with all of this is the way the characters (specially Canach) were handled.
- Kiel said nothing about Canach’s new look.
- He just attacks us. No speech, no “What are you doing here?”.
- Where were Kiel during the whole fight? That’s right. She was waiting to capture Canach and act like she was the true hero all along (pretty much what Trahearne usually do). It’s hard to like this kind of character.
- After Canach was defeated, we can’t talk to him. It is like the player’s character is not even there.
- Noll’s dialog wasn’t updated. We just captured the guy he was trying to kill, but he says nothing about it. Neither did Turma. Actually, Kiel is the only one that remembers that Canach was arrested.
- Kiel sounds like a glory-hungry idiot. “They won’t be saved by you”. Of course, she couldn’t let Canach looks like a hero, could her? After all, he is the “villain”, and “villains” can’t do anything good. Ever.

I hope that Canach isn’t gone forever now. He is the only good character of this arch, and that’s only because of the things that we were told out of the game.
The thing is, it is easy to make a new post making excuses about his look and behavior, but if this kind of thing doesn’t make it to the game, it really looks like you guys think that the customers are stupid. “Oh, they noticed that we changed something about a character? Oh no, I thought they wouldn’t notice! Better post something on the forums, since we did not explain that in game because we thought nobody would notice”. We are not kids.

My suggestions: Next time, please, put the story in the game. Show us that you don’t think that we are dumb. We are not going to buy any silly explanation that you guys post outside the game simply because it feels like it is nothing more than an excuse for something that was overlooked.
If there is not enough time to make something, please, delay it. Believe me, I would rather have waited for a whole month and end up getting a proper story in a good instance than this. I’m pretty sure a lot of people feel the same. Rushing is always bad.

So, that’s it. Overall, I’m loving the Living Story. Too bad the last update was such a disappointment. You guys were doing so well…

I wish.
But it is very unlikely, it seems.

Edit: Uhh, I just don’t want to double-post…

I would buy that in ten seconds flat!
A mini thorn wolf pup would be nice, too. My Sylvari could pretend she rescued it from the courtiers x)

Pressing “v” or tapping twice in any direction, just like you do while on land.

None of the skins that were released by RNG boxes appealed to me. So far so good.
I hope that it doesn’t change, or I guess I will go crazy farming so I can trade gold for gems (nope, I’m not buying RNG stuff with real life money EVER).

But we already can…

Maybe so that The Consortium could make sure that Canach or the Settlers wouldn’t use the boats to get out of the Island. I mean, the only way out is an Asura Gate, and there are plenty of members of The Consortium around it.

Of course, I don’t expect any explanation in game, especially one that is connected to the story.

I like what has been posted here on the forums and on the site, not what is in game (which is pretty much nothing tbh).

Reef Drakes and Karka are enough to tear apart any army Zhaitan could have raised.
Risen are not tough enough to… uh… “survive” (?) in Southsun Cove.

Lily Miranda.5407:

Just thought up a Most Interesting Man meme:

I don’t always have 200% magic find.

But when I do, I slaughter the faction that gave it to me."

LOL this is so funny xD

Despite everything that I have against many stuff that we end up doing in game, Guild Wars 2 has some crude, ironic humor that never fails to get me.

It must be horrible to live in a place where contractual obligations are more important than basic “human” rights (alright, we are talking about Norns and Charrs, but you know what I mean). I wonder if Tyria has any law against this kind of abuse. I guess not.
That’s what happens when you put money over morality, I guess.

For what I got, they had ALREADY signed the contract when we defeated the Molten Alliance (and that’s why some of them mentions that some settlers were already at Southsun). Also, I went to Southsun while Flame and Frost was still going on and there were a bunch of settlers there already, building the settlements, so I think we can assume that the contracts were signed when the Molten Alliance was still killing everybody and burning everything down.

If that’s how it is supposed to be, they are failing miserably.
The Sons of Svanir are tolerated by the other norns (unless they attack them, of course), Caithe did something horrible (IMO), Zojja psychologically tortures Eir, there is a nightmare courtier that proves to the player that there can be honor in the Nightmare Court, it is ok to kill a sentient race (skritt) and to destroy their home just because they stole your logging tools… I could go on for quite a while xD

I understand it completely, Cristobal. When I kill a separatist, I feel like I’m saying “NO! You can’t voice your political opinion!”. I’m not saying that they are doing it right, but I don’t think they should be killed either.
What I could see is that the morality in Guild Wars 2 is a little dubious. I mean, no one looks twice at the valiant that just killed a nightmare courtier. They are evil. They all must die, even if they just surrender and told you everything they knew thinking that you would spare their lives.
And hey, that’s a good thing! I mean, it’s not all black and white, right? “Good” characters sometimes can do terrible things, and “bad” characters can be honorable (these are not just assumptions, that’s what is in the Sylvari’s personal story).
