[Spoiler] Oh, now Seeds of Truth makes sense

Posted by: Valento.9852

Valento.9852

If these seeds come from Mordremoth (which is likely), it was already imbued with corrupted dragon energy. What I think it happened is that, similarly to Glint, it was cleansed by some ritual or some hero’s help. This means that, although it was cleansed, the potential of such dragon energy remained within the sylvari because Glint did not lose power upon freeing from Kralkatorrik. Something that remains a real mystery is what sort of corruption cleansing that seed was submitted, I don’t believe simply planting it and leaving a tablet at its base would be enough.

I don’t think I would trust anyone who could be corrupted. Who says Trahearne isn’t compromised, is he still himself? Would you go with the egg to the first Pact commander? Uh huh.

Who can you really trust in such a situation. It’s not just a secret that you put out there easily. That would’ve been really irresponsible to her very own race. I pretty much could’ve seen the destruction of the entire sylvari race with that secret out.

FYI all races can be corrupted. Take the branded and icebrood. There are human, charr, norn, and asura among them. Sylvari can’t be corrupted because they are already born from the dragon.

Is there even such thing as “dragon energy”? I was under the impression that the dragons simply absorbed and used the natural magic of the world. So other than maybe being a bit more concentrated, wouldn’t it be the same thing?

Well, I don’t know about that, but throughout the game you generally see asura researchers specifically stating “dragon energy”, and separating it from other kinds of magic. I’m not a lore expert, but I guess there is indeed a difference.

But did Vorpp realize that Sylvari were imbued with dragon energy? Or did he just think that it was a special new type of energy from a magical race?

Not quite. From my understanding, he only knew sylvari magic did “wonders” for their golems, but specifically their relation to dragon energy was unknown by that time.

No matter what her intentions were, she was still crazy. In D&D terms, she might be considered Chaotic Good. Her ultimate plan was to free the Sylvari from being Mordremoths minions, but the way she went about it certainly wasn’t the best. However through the machine and her visions, it’s pretty clear now that she was being influenced by Mordremoth, which led to him being awakened. While her plan probably was to disrupt the ley lines, and keep him asleep so she could take him out while he slept, attacking everyone else probably wasn’t the best idea.

Once I found out everything, I feel so much pleased by her role, even being evil it does feel “good” now. I think that Mordy manipulated her in a way she didn’t even realize. She THOUGHT she was releasing the chains, but actually she was walking into the abyss (which, btw, she mentioned in her journal). In her mind, she was saving all sylvari from Mordy’s influence, but this belief was planted (no pun intended) in her mind by the dragon. #speculation

I know a lot of people hated her, and possibly didn’t like Season 1. I take that it had flaws, but in my opinion it was just on a more experimental basis, it was ANet’s first attempt at story-telling for a living world. Some (most?) episodes felt somewhat shallow or too linear, but now that we’ve been revealed Sylvari are from the Jungle Dragon, and after a small read on Short Story: What Scarlet Saw, I feel much worried about missing her lore for future content related to Mordremoth. From this short story:

Scarlet giggled as she raised her hand to her face and watched the red thorn vine chase itself between her fingers. “So much makes sense now. The Pale Tree, the Nightmare Court, Caithe and Faolain…it’s all part of a grand design.

“But I see the flaws in that design. My people don’t have to take what we’re given, or be what we were “born to be.” No people do. We can change the rules…well, I can. And I’m going to.”

It looks pretty clear for me what her intentions were: break free from a cursed destiny. We’ve heard it rephrased by Caithe… in Heart of Thorns trailer. I just wish her lore wasn’t trashed, her true intentions should be explained in-game, hinting what she believed instead of telling her true intentions isn’t fair.

Will you devs keep Scarlet lore for future content?

Now it makes sense why Vorpp was using sylvari energy to raise golem power levels. They are imbued with dragon energy, making their life force indeed particularly useful.

It would be actually fun if the Nightmare Court would be of use to defeat Mordremoth even though they are horrible individuals. Would give them more depth as a whole … and really strenghten that teneth that “the weed is brother to the blossom”

That’s a kitten nice suggestion, man! Nightmare Court are, too, strong-willed. More so than the other sylvari. It seems to me that they share the hatred with Mordremoth, but they look for being free from any kind of influence, so they could be more useful to the battle against Mordy than the Pale Tree’s saplings.

Centaur mages seem to have deep understanding of the earth and nature itself, maybe there was an enchantment involving part of Glint’s body (all the involvement with Zephyrites, and Glint’s legacy, etc). It would be easier to purify when the meant-to-be Mordremoth’s minion is in its seed form, or maybe lock Mordy’s influence away. But the Pale Tree is much stronger, those seeds must’ve been Mordy’s champions, and hence the power of building an entire race. Their appearance remains a mystery for me, just because it was planted and nurtured by a human shouldn’t be a reasonable enough reason, neither would the cemetery.

I invite lore masters to give a reasonable explanation, detailing specifically the magic workings for this.

The Wynne scene… without giving spoilers, had a greater effect on me than any game has before.

With all due respect to story/audio, during that scene I was mainly staring at how polygonal the arms were and how poor close-up emotions looked. It reminded me of that Marjory-Kasmeer scene. Maybe they should start using hi-poly models for close-ups, or use some artistic interpretation?

Artistic interpretation. Without giving spoilers too, last video showed Caithe closed up and it seemed to me the perfect model they should go for. It’s like a mix between in-game models and painting, the expression looked very accurate to me.

I know that… while Wynne’s expression wasn’t very cool due to low-poly models, it had an impact on me too. One of the very few things I liked in this patch.

My prediction:

→ New race for 3,000 gems (discount from 3,500 gems)
→ 2 new classes for 2,200 gems each
→ Regular salvage kits are removed from the game.
→ Waypointing will cost 10gems
→ Headache debuff: 50% chance of triggering during normal gameplay. Plays “This won’t end well.” every time you lose HP. Removed by Glorious Mouthshutter bought from gemstore for only 500gems each.

I’ll have to think it through, but looks pretty accurate.

I remember there’s a chapter of Personal Story which I send orders to kill the undead in Mount Maelstrom (I think?) but it turns out I’m under some kind of mesmeric effect and those undead are actually Pact forces. I feel guilty because I killed quite a lot of people there. Lore should balance these feelings. We can’t always be the hero, and we can fail by ourselves. Mistakes make up for great stories.

Why cant we have difficult content?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Valento.9852

Valento.9852

I don’t find anything challenging if it allows me to stack and burst damage, and simply throw skills at them without need. It feels like even if we don’t have that many skills like WoW, the button smashing is way too heavier here.

There are a lot of interesting mechanics that, when coupled in an intelligent manner, can offer a good difficult and well-balanced fight. Of course, all difficult content must be optional, all hardcore-gamer friends I know don’t follow that ideology of forcing others to do harder content. They just kinda feel out of place because as much as they try, they just can’t find anything challenging, only button smashing and puppet dodging, as if these meant something.

Stating this game doesn’t support actual well thought out difficult content is a sign of misconceptions, lack of creativity or simply ignorance. 2¢
