I don’t like to see ANY romance in MAIN story plot.

I’ve seen people say this kind of thing.
granted, they've all been boys under the age of 14... But to each their own.

I enjoy love stories a lot. They make me feel squishy inside. I’m glad to see them in a game I love.

When I said that it’s generally the ladies who enjoy romance subplots more than gents, I was warned about sexism. So be careful!

I get that, but honestly… Literature and storytelling has romance. The only people I’ve met (apart from Knight, now) who are openly disgusted or against these things being incorporated into a story generally fit that demographic. And also, that’s why I put it blacked out.

You didn’t met a lot of hardcore gamers, didn’t you? We’ve seen too much things.

I didn’t think hardcore gamers cared about the story at all, tbh.

I was right, you didn’t.

So you’re saying that hardcore, say, dungeon runners, care about the dungeon cut scenes? They actively role play?

Echou.1923:

Game mechanics and lore don’t usually mix well. Lore-wise Guardians are the ones who protect their teammates. They are supposed to take more beating than a dead summoning spellcaster who rarely engage in physical combat.

I’ll never capitulate!

Anyway in all seriousness, you’re probably right, but I still have a problem with it.

Exosferatu.2961:

Next time tell Marjory Delaqua to approach a criminal with her Death Shroud on.

For real!

Echou.1923:

Armored vehicle vs. Mini Cooper, just saying.

Lol, while I love the idea of a Norn being built like a freaking tank, we both know that isn’t realistic. Bones and flesh of Norn guardian versus Human Necromancer are essentially equal (especially considering that necromancers have super high health pool and guardians super low) in terms of the game mechanics, I really don’t think it makes as much sense as you’re implying.

Echou.1923:

Let’s see, we got a human spellcaster and a sturdy norn warrior 2 times larger than the spellcaster.

The larger one would fall harder, just saying.

So we know the staff is coming back, we don’t know when. The news article had the staff icon on it, so we know it’s going to be brought back in a sale. The Grenth hood, I don’t know. However, with the amount of folks asking for it I would bet anet will.

I’m 22y/o and i hate “feels”, maybe i just too cynical for this kind of story. In my mind story should be way more brutal and grim. If game can show homosexual romance it can show something really dark and scary.

We didn’t even have any visible victims, just refugees. Where mountains of dead bodies?

I’m fine with not having it, though I do think it would increase my immersion. However, young kids play this game. I understand the reasoning for not.

Anyway, I like feels in my games. Makes me want to be in Tyria more.

So, Marjory was hurt decently bad. She got knocked out, looked a little roughed up, looked dead.

Braham broke his leg. That’s it? Why? And by the way that whole part of the scene, I was just thinking about Peter Griffin clutching his knee, going “ssssstttt ahhhhhhh” for 45 seconds.

I get I’ll get flamed, probably, for this response, but honestly, I don’t understand why Marjory got so hurt and Braham basically didn’t even have his life threatened.

(Side note, during the cut scenes, did any of you think it was weird and immersion breaking how your character just stood there, still, staring in one direction or the other?)

My favorite hetero relationship in the game is the bandit man and the seraph woman, hidden away. I don’t remember where it is, but when I found it I sat with them for a while.

Mad Rasputin.7809:

Still missing Robert.

I often go to Metrica Province just to visit with him.

Parsing… Explanation. requested.

Yeah… And the sclerite back piece too.

I have 5 level 80s (elementalist Asura main, human warrior, Asura guardian, Norn Ranger, and human Mesmer) and 11 non 80s…. All different classes and races. Currently working on a human thief and an Asura engineer/necromancer.

Yeah. I love being accused of exploiting. It makes me sooooooo happy.

T.T

Does it take skill to pew pew from 1500 units away?

O.o

Anyway when I chose stats it never said the soulbound thingy. So there’s that.

On spinal blades, when i mentioned it in game bugs, this is a response:

Meetshield.1756:

Clearly it not binding was a bug, and if you were Exploiting…. You might not want to post that on here…

Just saying..

Can you believe this? It’s a whole new level.

Volcanus is a little bright for him, but eh maybe ^^

Silberfisch.3046:

Lindbur.2537:

She must really dig my fat pink norn.

It hast to be the pink. In my experience Mai Trin has a tendency to go after our mesmers while leaving my big hulking norn well alone.

Oh god

P.S. Seems like this thread needs more charr females. I plan on gifting mine some red SAB weapons.

I has charr female! I already posted one pic… but I’ll make a point of doing some dungeons with her and trying to take screenies when I remember. :P

I know I’ve already posted my charr before, but by request of deSade

Very kewl. A bit unsure about the pistols, though. Ai laik revolvars. Aetherized or ascended?

Imagine her with red badkitten weapons…

SE or CoE weapons would go nicely.

Yeah I wish my spinal blades did not end up on the character I placed them on for a quick dungeon. sad me. Would really like an official response.

Made a thread here and one in bugs last night on this…. Dunno why they did this.

Here we go with another thread which causes me to feel woe for humanity.

“Lol zerk bads” “lol zerk no skill” “lolpvt4eva” y’all don’t seem to get that if it was sooooooo easy then everyone would be soloing Lupicus. But you aren’t, and you can’t, and it’s hard for some of us even in 5 player parties to do a fight in less time than a coordinated skilled player can solo.

I get that you don’t want to feel inferior…. But when you say stuff like this it’s just… Sad. :/

Edit: btw OP I think your idea is great.

Wow Lunar I love it!

Also Kirin, that’s a really good looking Charr!

Astralporing.1957:

Perhaps you applied an upgrade to it? That would have made it soulbound.

I didn’t. It doesn’t have an upgrade, was too lazy / poor to grab one. It has literally changed with the patch. No user error.

Okay can you not post before you know the facts? I literally passed his backpack back and forth between my Mesmer and guardian yesterday.

The spinal blades exotic were account bound, permanently which was the real attraction of them. This is a fact. Then, today’s patch changed it.

I’m not a person who would just say something without knowledge of it.

FANY.6524:

I made the exotic the day of/day after the Escape From Lion’s Arch was released and as soon as I put stats on it it became soulbound. Maybe it’s a bug that it didn’t soulbound to you guys?

But even dulfy said it was account bound, so the majority of the time the back pack was account bound. Just really weird.

Astralporing.1957:

Lilith Ajit.6173:

It wasn’t in the patch notes, I don’t think though, was it?

It wasn’t. And it was exactly the opposite of what people asked for.
It was also the opposite of what what was proposed in the CDI about rewards and progression, which suggests that idea was discarded.

Pretty disgusting. I love creating things and spending gold on false pretenses.

I found today that the exotic spinal blade back piece is no longer account bound, but soulbound on use. It’s extremely disappointing, because I liked the idea of having the back piece traded among alts. It’s very sad, and I’m wondering, since it wasn’t in the patch notes, could a dev let us know if this is intended or a bug?

It wasn’t in the patch notes, I don’t think though, was it?

I’m very sad about the spinal blade change. Now I need to make 3 more for alts so that they can have the exotic backpacks… I miss the account bound ness T.T

Nope. Sorry. It wasn’t. I passed my exotic spinal blades from my guardian to my Mesmer yesterday. And the stats were chosen to berserker the day I made them, too.

The ascended version was soulbound on use though.

Enaretos.8079:

Well these are all pictures taken on my home server, Arborstone.
This is but a small taste of what happens on it everyday ^^

And nobody played the game :’(

#NPCs are scrubs

It’s about a 30 day punishment for 60 seconds… I’m not sure how they stack together, though, so you probably have 5 infraction points, depending on when you received them, they each have their own expiration date. Although it is possible sometimes it is permanent.

I recommend just relaxing a bit, reading more and talking less. When I had my crazy FC it took about 30 days to get back to normal. Now I’m a prim and proper poster, or I try to be. (bad Lilith! Bad!)

Enaretos.8079:

As I had announced, here comes the “fleuron” of French Fashion !

http://samajestay.imgur.com

Look for the GW2 Fashion folder.

And it’s now time to play a game, who can find the NPC that is hiding in one of the pictures ?

Oh god…. Ena… What are those?

The Charr… And the pink…. And the awful.

my sweet fashionable eyes!

x.x

Lindbur.2537:

Can someone verify for me that Mai Trin tends to pick on guardians more than others?

She thinks they’re buff. She finds that smexy.

Anierna.6918:

OP, please look up proper useages of the exclamation point. Thanks.

I love you.

Also at Kirin, yeah, point blank shot and Mesmer greatsword 5. ME HATES

I ran a level 50 ranger into a level 1 fractal with a bow bear ranger, a guardian, a warrior, and a Mesmer once. I was using my cute little strong sword from back in level 30 and I was still the only one alive at moss man.

Rangers have no respect, but good rangers can be… Well, boss.

First off, I’m fine with random if things are really well balanced. If they aren’t able to be tested, though, to the point where they are more or less balanced, I don’t dig RNG.

For instabilities, I would have much preferred random instabilities, rather than “level 33 has x instability”. And I thought it would be cooler if each fractal had it’s own. A different one for swamp, a different random one for next fractal, etc.

If you change any of these things, can I please keep my fractal level? I’ll give you a Caithe mini.

Oh also I’d of course prefer more fractals to instabilities. That way I can really wonder what I’m going to get next.

Tigerlily.3765:

I just wish, for the love of God, they has mentioned this so I didn’t throw out three stacks of the spinal shards because I did not want the backpeice. I mean come on .

I saw pictures of people destroying them, and i bet anet did to, so they coded this in real quick to giggle.

Sorry though! That stinks.

You can buy the weapon skin you want for generally, once the initial introduction is over, 40-70g a piece. So… Yeah.

Personally I love it. Why else would the spinal blades not be tradable? They wanted people to participate and make stuff on their own… And here we go!

Sorry to those who haven’t made them yet though. That’s bad luck, mate.

That’s awesome looking. How?

Legendary aura from the Kamohoali’i Kotaki.

Very lovely!

Well, yes. A truly skilled team would adapt to any dungeon design changes and make the most efficient team possible. If that became “we need a bear bow” I’m sure they’d do it.

Anyway let’s not get rid of dodge, let’s not require healers and tanks. The loot system, for one, would keep people from running a healer and gameplay would not be even remotely varied in a trinity game.

I appreciate your response and would definitely like your input regarding the Dodge ability. I would most like to hear from you regarding this question.

What would your reaction be if, Dodge, only reduced the Damage taken from opponents instead of a 100% Damage avoidance?

I’ll respond with my earlier post:

Lilith Ajit.6173:

Well, let me ask you this, if you dodge a punch, and it doesn’t hit you in real life, does it still hurt? (Do you feel 10% of that force?)

That’s how I feel on the matter. I see no reason why skill and good timing shouldn’t keep you safe.

I don’t see it as skill, but I do agree with you on good timing. Also, if we are speaking realistically, Dodging doesn’t nullify all Damage, unless you take into account a flesh wound, such as a knife, or a bullet grazing your skin. In the end, there is some trauma taken after such events. So my question for you still stands.

I’m saying, you can dodge a punch without getting hurt. If you evade any hit by a person, you don’t get hurt. If you don’t evade entirely, you’ll have a flesh wound or something.

You don’t have to see it as skill. I see it as skill because I am not skilled enough or knowledgable enough to, say, melee Lupicus and understand when to dodge. Player skill and practice allows them to virtually receive no damage. However, 1 year ago, when the fight was fresh and new, not anyone (or maybe more accurately, barely anyone) knew how to fight the Lupi fight in an efficient manner. Most fights currently in the game have been done possibly 500 times or more by certain players. When you do something that many times you become skilled at that fight.
