On a more serious note, I think that after the vision we can clearly relate the 4 schools of magic to the role of the 4 bloodstones pieces (with the keystone having no specific magical forcing/inhibiting properties). And have to accept that there are at least 6 possibly 7 sources of ‘mana’ for the Tyrian magic system (as relating the magic system of Tyria to that of Magic the Gathering).
while i would also love to see this, especially an actual massive army, instead of airships off in the distance or a dozen or so pact members running into claw island, lordkrall has the right of it. we simply need every race to deal with one dragon at a time, it’s already been shown that the norn/kodan couldn’t beat jormag on their own, and the charr forces that fought kralk pretty much got wiped out/corrupted. asura with all their fancy tech ran away from primordious, and sylvari and humans have just been doing all they can to keep undead away from their towns and cities. also, to add to the norn part, last time they fought jormag directly, Owl was eaten, Ox is vanished, and so is Wolverine, they probably aren’t that keen to ask the spirits to go for round 2, just they themselves want to go for round 2
i would sit there and roast marshmallows over its burning husk……..oh, this thread is about what would happen in a lore sense? i dunno, sylvari commit mass suicide? one can hope
“leader of the charr race because we dont want a khan-ur” rank?
Everything short of Khan-Ur is per legion. Look up Bangar Ruinbringer and Malice Swordshadow, they are the Imperators of Blood and Ash, respectively. Flame also had Gaheron Baelfire, but he’s a bit on the dead side now. Otherwise, it is as Dustfinger said, the Black Citadel and surrounding area is smack dab in the middle of Iron territory. If we ever head east of the Blazeridge mountains or where ever Ash Citadel is, the other Imperators would carry more weight.
Also, it’s not that they don’t want a Khan-Ur, it’s that it’s a position that must be recognized by all four legions, including Flame. If there’s someone capable of wrangling the Flame Legion in line with the other three, that person would be a very powerful threat to the enemies of the charr.
i didn’t know about bangar and malice, that was interesting to learn. but i keep hearing most npcs in CoF, or charr lands, refer to baelfire as a tribune in the flame legion. only thing i can think of is maybe they want to mentally demote him so they call him tribune? i dunno, but thanks for clearing my confusion up there yossitaru
Edit: also, in regards to the whole “it’s all the leaders” thing, i doubt it would be that, simply because, while each race would fall to pieces with the death of their leader (though asura probably won’t, arcane council has like 6 people, only one is attending), they wouldn’t work with or step aside for the dragons to take over
there is no entitlement for you to even get a title, since you either: a) made the duplicate legendaries a long time before wardrobe was even a thought in the anet dev’s heads, or b) you made it during the announcement of the feature patch and just didn’t think about the possibility. if its the former, stop complaining, you now have 2 items with stats that are better than exotic (not by much, but still), and now you have a title. if its the latter, you should’ve used logic and realized the wardrobe was coming, hell, i figured it would come on day one of me playing this game since the transmutation stone/crystal system was so inefficient. also, in the former’s case, do RL stores give you a full refund of a REAL item you bought with REAL money a year before the next version of it was to come out? no they do not, so stop complaining about losing all the virtual money to make the duplicates, nobody forced you to make the second bolt, incinerator, etc.
Are they out of the story? Smodur can speak for the Iron, but I believe he’s not decisive. By our mother Logic, he’s only able to manage the forces of Iron Legion.
He can be kind of emissary, but I seriously doubt that Blood Legion, especially, would let Smodur decide about their troops.
If we’re trying to gather all the leaders, shouldn’t we invite Blood and Ash Legions’ leaders to the summit?
Putting Smodur as the decisive of Charr would be a serious step for him in a way of becoming Khan-Ur. If I were a Charr leader, I would never let him do so.
ummm…….im not a lore person, so i can’t be even 50% sure, but isnt imperator pretty much the “leader of the charr race because we dont want a khan-ur” rank? kinda like a general while the tribunes are his commanders? could be wrong, just what ive taken from what he’s said and what others ingame and in the forums have said
our character also has a proven track record against EDs, so maybe we’re the leader being targeted? would be fun to have assassins (do EDs even have assassin minions??) chasing us all the time. also, master of whispers’ identity is only known by a few people, none of whom are sylvari, so mord would just be pulling guesses out of thin air if that was the target. doubt any of the order leaders are the target though anyway, most likely trahearne or us.
suggestion for skyhammer: explosives, i’m sure the asura have a demo team that can remove this feat of immense stupidity
and why the hell doesn’t that cannon make itself useful and shoot a dragon or 6????
just got off the phone with the terminator, sadly he’s too busy to terminate this map, the procrastinator has taken over for him
that said, anet kill this map, seriously, nobody likes it, nobody even has “meh” feelings about it. this map makes us all feel like we’re in a giant pinball machine
i don’t think mord is any stronger than the other EDs, he’s just more aggressive, if anything he could be weaker because he woke up earlier than he was meant to. or he’s constipated from all the leftover magic he still has, one of those options
I also don’t think they’ll destroy the Grove. It’d be cool, but confusing for a newbie. Destroying LA is one thing, destroying the very beginning quest hub for a race is something else.
maybe they’ll just go all out and destroy every starting city, so they all match, always did want to see black citadel and rata sum on fire
even if we accept that mord couldn’t wake up without an outside influence helping, it still means mord is the bigger threat, since he corrupted someone while sleeping and without the use of a champion. also, the whole “he needs something from them” is illogical, by that logic zhaitain isn’t (wasn’t) a threat, and neither are any of the other EDs, since every single one of them has servants (like scarlet and aerin, or destroyers, or icebrood) who go and do things for them because they personally cannot. and as lordkrall said, the EDs can wake up on their own, and yes, scarlet could have been trying to stop it, can’t always be a genius and get every calculation right. (though still don’t like her, don’t care if it turns out she made an ED nuke or something)
Edit: i am not trying to be a jerk, i’m just trying to help you see the holes in your logic, just like there are holes in the logic of how our characters suddenly know mordremoth’s name
think forgal has an ascended trinket as well, not quite sure. iirc, it doesn’t outright mention forgal, but it does mention something that is related to him.
i find it hilarious how now, after you’re point is disproven OP, you just change the name of the thread and change the argument a tiny bit. he is still the greatest threat simply because he CAN corrupt an entire race without going near them it seems. even sons of svanir have to go out of their way to find corruption to take in, mord just thinks it and it happens it seems. he alone IS the greatest threat. also, sylvari are outnumbered by far by all the other races anyway, and they’re the least warlike. charr alone would wipe them if they all turned, so we don’t need a pre-emptive strike, and they won’t make mord more powerful.
OP, you disprove your own point in your statement. if sylvari are a threat because mord corrupts them, then mord is still the bigger threat. personally, i believe that mord is considered the biggest threat of all the EDs because he 1) is so far the most aggresive of them all, seeing as he’s attacking the iron marches, which is pretty far from maguuma in general, 2) because he seems to be capable of corrupting an entire race without ever touching them, or looking at them funny, and 3) because he’s possibly much closer to any city than the others. kralk is somewhere to the east (i think, probably wrong, i’m not a major lore buff, somebody correct me if im wrong on his possible location), jormag is waaaaaay north, primordius is underground somewhere, in theory still fighting the dwarves, and we don’t even know bubbles’ name or what his minions look like. so i’d say mord is the bigger threat, not a race who doesn’t exactly ask to be corrupted.
Edit: also, scarlet had an army, and a giant drill, she didn’t level LA on her own, and aerin had grenades, on a ship made of bamboo……..one grenade and that sucker’s going down
didn’t say he fights well, just that he fights XD
personally i kept his useless metal behind in follow and triggered traps if i triggered traps, just one (or half a dozen) more thing(s) to kill
all of my sylvari have surnames, lore be darned…. though to be fair, more than half of them aren’t exactly “lore-friendly” anyway >_>
otherwise, go with what you want to do, make up a different one word name or make up your own new naming convention like ruhk said
the things using portals are elementals and other magical creatures that retained their ability to use said portals after being corrupted, there aren’t any svanirs using them, at least not ones they themselves created. only thing jormag is a part of in all that is taking away the ability of the svanir shamans to go to the mists with their own power.
Im pretty sure Backpacks are this game’s primary cosmetic. Unless Anet decides to start making tons and tons of armor sets for different classes, backpacks are their primary cosmetic choice beyond Weapon Skins.
Think about it, Guild Wars prides itself on being a game that doesn’t focus on gear being the main focus, instead your character and how that character looks is. So they get the necessary gear out of the way (capped at Ascended for now) and start focusing on cosmetic skins. Now they do have some armor skins, but the main thing they pump out are back packs and weapon skins. These are the items you will see that can make your character different from others. Like the few people who have the Shattered Wings back piece. These skins most likely won’t be available forever, so getting them gives characters a piece of cosmetic gear that makes their characters unique later on in the game’s life.
I hope they do start making some unique armor sets for each class though. It would be awesome, especially since they had things like that in Guild Wars 1 (I rocked the Primeval Set on my Elementalist and I loved it to death)
i just have to say, for only a few people having those shattered wings, i sure do see a few hundred different people running around with em each day XD
Didn’t Marjory’s story start off with some ghost-related shenanigans?
Maybe part 2 will deal with the White Mantle (we already dealt with Norn, Charr, and Asuran issues, but securing the queen’s attendance was not featured), or at least the ghost plot in her backstory?
queen jennah basically said yes right off the bat according to kasmeer, so in that case there wouldn’t be a securing of her attendance
I wondered about the yellow glow of her hair like petals, never noticed that before.
always been there, just wasn’t as noticable before because most conversations were in a cutscene, so wouldn’t have been able to spin the camera around to catch it
i just spent 3 hours and 600 wood axes and got all of 12 of these things. figured i was ok to make the plant food, nope, apparently need 28 of the things for that alone. the drop rate needs to fixed, or at the very least give us some of them as a reward in the final quest of this episode, even just 5 would be helpful
If we ever actually fight Mord, he’ll only be harmed by “fire” type weapons, Ele in fire attunement, Ranger fire trap, and burning. The fight will last longer than Zhaitan’s “fight.”
doubt this’ll be the case, since this isn’t pokemon
Fear not, friends.
I’m not a developer.
I’m a player just like you.
The only difference: I am a critical person.
Far from being just a yes-man.
I believe in GW2, you don’t?
you forgot to put that you’re also insane for thinking any suggestion you’ve made will bring in new players and not send at least half the current players packing
pretty sure the self-style hair kit always worked like this, the total makeover one does not. believe it’s because the hair kit is specifically for hair, while the other is for everything, so the former would have to hide your helm if you had, say, a full face helm, and the latter wouldn’t really need to
this map sucks so much, especially when you get the people who act like they’re skilled for not actually wanting to fight. heck, i main a rifle engi in pvp, and whenever i get this map i try my best to use my knockback to keep an opponent AWAY from the edge, or off any glass tiles. simply feel like any victory is cheapened when i get a kill by tossing them off the edge.
kinda like the flame legion not being immune to burning, or sons of svanir and icebrood not being immune to chill. or even the shades/ghosts that can bleed, don’t tell me magic explains all this
Magic explains all this
knew i shouldn’t have handed a straight line like that to somebody XD
i zerg because i command sometimes, and just want to have that urge to laugh like that madman bent on world domination………….and also because it’s relaxing to turn my brain off and watch the pretty explosions and battles that happen when the zerg hits the fan
kinda like the flame legion not being immune to burning, or sons of svanir and icebrood not being immune to chill. or even the shades/ghosts that can bleed, don’t tell me magic explains all this
1- Ranged auto attack with 1s cooldown, heavy impact damage with some aoe radius ( sorta like pistol 1 just way more powerfull, actually on par with the bomb kit´s 1) and a range of 1000
2- A straight path following slow moving projectile that hurts everything in its path (think asura megablasters from the crucible of eternity dungeon just not homing) per tick and can be detonated like flamer 2 but keeps on following its path slowly till it hits a wall or its 1200 range limit
3- A frontal knockback cleave or conic aoe with the cannon to get up to 3 annoying pests off your kitten .
4- a backwards cannon jump with some low to mediocre aoe damage from the jump itself (think acid bomb just no ticks) that leaves a 2-3 s combo field behind, blind would be pretty perfect for that
5- High damage ground targeted rather big aoe with fire field
toolbelt skill- adds confuse to the next 3 attacks with it
I think that would be more fitting and usefull. That way you got a ranged kit that can do some serios abuse.. but yea.. just my opinion
nevermind the sniper kit, anet we want this, i might actually use a kit on land if we had this. though a gatling gun/lmg type kit would be nice too XD
@Lilith ^ wasn’t trying to, sorry if it came across as that, i was simply stating MY experiences, and my friends, that is all. it is true that most kicks are not for selling the slot, i and my friends just get the bad luck of finding those runs XD
i’m a casual, and almost always put “all welcome” in the LFG ad, yet i’ve literally only kicked 3 people in my entire game experience (one was afk on purpose for half the dungeon because he apparently needed to reskin his gear, other two for refusing to revive the others because we “weren’t pro enough”…….ironic, because one of them died in the same fight the rest of us died in, yet that person got a revive) , so doesn’t seem fully fair to judge all casuals the same way because you came across one bad group. based on what you say happened though, maybe they thought they could sell the run. this has happened to alot of people i know, where they get to the final boss, and two in the group kick everybody else, and lo and behold, a minute later “X dungeon, PX for sale, X gold”. selling CoE seems a bit silly though, so dunno
Edit: i also have Dungeon Master as a title for one of my toons, but only because i don’t like any of the other titles i have atm for that toon to use
love the idea, but yeah, health shouldn’t be quite that high. while i would love the idea of the area of doom, would be nerfed in 2 nanoseconds anyway. make this anet!
Well, my idea is good. I am happy to share it. Be happy , too.
1) i refuse to be happy because some random person told me to. 2) changing wvwvw to gvg would screw over smaller guilds (like mine), since we wouldn’t be able to fight the guilds with over 100 people. 3) your idea would ONLY be good if you wanted gvg implemented as a new mode, NOT replacing a current mode. it would send a ton of people packing, as they only play wvw, which therefore also ruins your theory that it would increase the player base.
problem with this is even if they added this function, it wouldn’t stop the tag trolls unless you can convince everybody on the map to block the guy/gal. if you aren’t able to do that, then you’d still have people going to the troll and not actively helping
no, organized was not these guys, half the time they fell to their own deaths because they didn’t notice holes in the ground and tried to charge through them. and its also not organized to hunt specifically for one side while the other side takes all your stuff. frostreach was never mobbed, in fact they had free reign to attack badland’s area. it still doesn’t mean there shouldnt be some sort of limit to that thing. you can only use airstrike once before you have to go buy a new one, same for sentry turrets. why not make it like an ele’s conjured weapons and give it charges?
the kodan hammers you can get from the forge in eotm should have a timer or at least a system that only allows so many people to use them at once. mere minutes ago, was leading an overgrowth zerg and badlands kept killing us all off because over 90% of their zerg was kodan morphed and kept interrupting everybody and knocking them off cliffs. i know this is meant to be a mechanic for eotm, but seriously, when over 50 players are dressed up as kodan, thats a little impossible to beat
Does anyone know if u were to unlock the 2 skins, can you then use the items to make the mantle as well? Has anyone tried, cause otherwise you would need 2 copies of each item to have all 3 skins in total.
I believe you have to unlock each skin individually before crafting otherwise it just binds the Mantle by default. But don’t quote me on that as I bought the scarf and goggles individually and then unlocked them each before getting to 400 and crafting the mantle. Wouldn’t come as a surprise if it did unlock all three skins upon crafting the mantle in that case.
you can just craft the combined headgear, it unlocks all the previous skins as soon as you do, and its automatically account-bound
