Guild Wars 2

Filaha.1678:

Leading a group of people is, by definition, about “being in charge or command of” them. Do you really feel you’re in charge or command of this group of NPCs?

That’s a definition, but that’s not the definition.

“Leading the way” doesn’t necessarily mean you’re deciding, alone, where to go. It just means you’re going in first.

Indeed, leading a group of people does not by definition mean barking orders.
It can also mean being the tip of the spear, which is exactly what the player is.

I love the high ponytail. It’s reminds me a lot of Hairstyle 11 from Ren’s Hair Pack (a mod for Oblivion, Skyrim and even Fallout).

See pic (the brown hairstyle).

It’s good to be the Boss of Destiny’s Edge 2.0 the Biconics.
I’m the Hero of Shaemoor, the Commander of the Pact, one of the heroes that destroyed Zhaitan and Savior of Lions Arch. I’m not some cog in someone’s machine.

Yes, we are Trahearne’s poodle, noone can take that away from us!

No longer. Trahearne has been off the grind for like 2 (ingame) years.

Quickbeam.2481:

oh no… that’s horrible news…

Thanks

How is that horrible news? About kitten time they started to make content permanent.

Who is Drooburt?
Also I didn’t notice anyone dying except Belinda.

GuzziHero.5104:

But no. As always… HIT IT WITH YOUR SWORD!!!

Because otherwise we get kittened mechanics like bosses that are immortal. And you need to do a small escort quest with an escortee that has the self preservation instinct of a cruller at a police presinct to remove it’s immortality for a few seconds. Rinse repeat..

Looking at you, Fort Salma boss <.< (most kittened mechanic I have ever seen). ]

EDIT: Or god forbid, another Zhaitan boss battle.

I always wanted to get things with gold and never asked for anything different. Having multiple options to get things is always good of course. But just buying something with gold should always be an option.

I never understood why some people want to work in a video game. A video game, at least for me, is for fun and relaxation. If I want to work hard I will take an extra job in real life.

Since the content is permanent it’s not that much of a problem, still having the weapons on TP would be nice.

Filaha.1678:

Demented Sheep.1642:

Argh, I hope not. That’s actually one of things I hate in stories. It makes a character seem like someone’s “I’m just naturally special and better than everyone” sue and if its a games makes it seem like the writers are more interested in stroking the players ego than actually telling a good story.

Except our characters ARE just naturally better than everyone. It’s shown repeatedly throughout your personal story and in gameplay by making NPCs incredibly weak compared to you. It’s the reason why we’re the heroes and not the rank and file soldiers.

Heck, the Street Rat Human PS choice alone makes the entirety of the Seraphs look incompetent if you choose to help Quinn.

Well some biconics are pretty strong. Marjory can summon huge bone bridges and summon dozens of minions all at once. Kasmeer can summon dozens of phantasms all at once and spam Time Warp during the fort Salma mission. I tell you my necros and mesmers were never able to pull that off :P

And there have been more NPC’s who did special things for the sake of the plot you (the player) would never be able to pull off. The reason why most NPC’s might seem incompetent is because it would make the game too easy otherwise. It’s just a matter of story/gameplay segration.

I love it! Don’t change it anet, finally some recognition for my character

BrunoBRS.5178:

Shiren.9532:

Scarlet made improvements on the device. It’s possible that it’s safe now.

we were there for much less time than scarlet, and we were “screaming in agony with lightning flying everywhere”. they also thought we were dead for a moment.

hardly “safe”.

Indeed, we may have been pulled out before our mind was completely broken, but not before the device started to have at least some lasting effects (or at least I hope so).

Konig Des Todes.2086:

I actually prefer the idea that my character’s mind is stronger than that of Scarlet’s. Similar to Mass Effect 1 where you see the Prothean Beacon vision, people keep saying that the images would break weaker minds – but not Shepard, the main protagonist. Well, kind of a similar situation really. Scarlet’s mind was broken – mine was not. I’m awesome, she’s dead.

Plus, if the vision opened way for Mordremoth’s corruption, then with the standing theory, only sylvari PCs should start going looney. But honestly, I don’t see it happening anyways. It will likely be akin to Shepard, and I’m fine with that. Because it proves that I’m better than that storyline wreckage of Scarlet Briar.

I don’t propose a complete mindbreak like what happened with Scarlet. Just some subtle things, like something hearing soft whispers in the background and eventually some dialogue with your companions about it.

So much win!

nexxe.7081:

This was really nice. Anet did a good job on this. Season 2 started off terrible, but it’s getting better.

How did it start off terrible?

Her death was premature. We should have got to know and like her first. Now it’s not really shocking for us.

ITheNormalPerson.9275:

checks body for the sword

kitten ..

Made my day

I think her death was premature.
She was an interesting character that we barely got to know. We didn’t get a chance to really care about this character. I just feel that her role in the story is unfinished.

Thanks for your input

Serophous.9085:

Kinda like in skyrim where you drink that potion, and slaughter all these goblins, only to find out they were villagers.

Le wut? What quest is that?

Serophous.9085:

I was actually half expecting this when I got out and would fight everyone round me till I was subdued.

Same here, I was expecting this would have some repercussions on my PC. But it still might, lets hope so

RyuDragnier.9476:

Nahh, we got pulled out before that could happen. I hope we at least can understand what the dragons say now as a side effect. Maybe even start hearing their voices like they’re trying to corrupt us.

Though as much as I would be acting the same way as my character after being shocked by who knows how many voltage of electricity and seeing the Eternal Alchemy I would be a bit concerned if my mind was still intact or Mordremoth may have gotten into my head just enough that we may start hearing his voice as we progress farther into the storyline.

This would be cool in the fact as we are playing, a whisper can play in the background during story mode.

That would actually be very very cool.

Add in our characters getting a dazed status when it occurs, along with some instances where we can’t tell who is friend and who is foe. You know, make it so we’re not even sure if we’re going to be able to take on the dragon without going insane in the process.

Even have a dungeon ending with a real fight worthy of a final fight, where we get to the point where we have to do the final blow to Mordremoth ourselves, only for him to try to take complete control of us. Being up close, we end up in our own mind, where we have to fight and defeat him there in order to allow us to pull the finishing blow on him.

I made a topic on this, I would love your input

Okay first: SPOILERS

Now that the PC has been inside Omadd’s machine, it would be awesome if this was going to have some side effects. Now obviously we won’t turn into a raving lunatic since the PC was pulled out in time, but still the PC saw a lot. It must have affected his/her mind somehow.

It would be cool if we started hearing soft (possibly inaudible) whispers at certain moments or started seeing certain illusions. Because this may hinder normal gameplay it might be best to do this only during story missions.

Really hoping this is going to have some lasting effects on my character.

Evillix.7395:

I’ve kindly recorded and uploaded the Final Cutscene.

Obviously it contains Spoilers, so please do not watch if you haven’t completed the Story yet!

10000 agreed!!! I love it! This is the Living Story gw2 needed. I’m loving this story!
Though I don’t mind there being no dungeons, I like to experience the story on my own.

Yea that will be great.

“Hey wanna do CoF p1?”
“Sure! Just give me 3 hours to get there.”

Can’t wait…
In order to make players cross the landscape, Anet needs to make incentives to do so. Not remove fast travel and force players to walk.

Rouven.7409:

Vol.7601:

I think this would cause the players who have no interest in lore to quit the game until the WP’s return.

Removing waypoints are a massive inconvenience.

Will be interesting to see if it affects the prices for items due to potential limited farming.
Maybe most people have enough alts to circumvent this.

I have 20 alts, 16 of them 80 and fully geared. I would just plant a character in almost every zone and play that way. I have more things to do than walk all day.

Windu The Forbidden One.6045:

Meh.. I want the devs to focus their efforts on Guild Wars 2, not Super Mario Tyrian Adventures.

Oh, they dropped the Living Story?

If only they did. Then maybe we could get some expansions.

But I have to say Season 2 is definitely going the right way.

Meh.. I want the devs to focus their efforts on Guild Wars 2, not Super Mario Tyrian Adventures.

I still remember one Anet employee posting a farewell thread and some guy said “farewell threads are against the code of conduct”. That was just so much win.

It’s quite an accomplishment if you think about it.
He actually boned a god

Loxorz.6847:

Windu The Forbidden One.6045:

Also Meerak the Shouter? Almost sounds like a skyrim easter egg (Miraak, which is a dragonborn who uses shouts).

Meerak the Shouter was the guy in GW1 Post-Searing Ascalon who called out lines from the Flameseeker Prophecies in one of the outposts. He was also in Pre-Searing, as a monk or something in Ashford Abbey, but didn’t say anything interesting as far as I remember.

Ah I see. I thought the OP was talking about GW2 characters.

Omar Aschi Popp.7496:

Humans more memorable than Logan: Meerak the Shouter, Seymon, Simon, Watchman Rebec, The guy who talks about his pregnant wife in the Hunting Lodge.

Sorry but I don’t know any of those names, and I’ve been around for quite a while.

Underdark.3726:

ever tried to have sex blindfolded?

Nope, doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Blind people do plenty of things I would not be able to do with a blindfold.

They could have gone far with it indeed, but still it’s too late now. Mesmer clones don’t create bone bridges.

ObsidianSaint.1079:

Do something interesting! Maybe the dragon wins this time! He kills one of the party and flies off to another area of the map for a future season where we have to fight him again in a different setting.

So basically what happened with Kralkatorrik?

Giotto.2607:

1st, please don’t bring something from different topic to this one.

Why not? Because it reveals your hypocrisy?

So apparantly Asura physiology allows them to survive complete dismemberment, interesting.

cheshirefox.7026:

because small cowled figure plus giant spaceship with abandoned metal puppet woman almost always equals jungle dragon… all the other stuff was, primordus! obviously

What I got from the picture was: Nazgul + stacked tampons with drill underneat = pale tree. Wut 0.o

mcgriddles.2416:

If Malchor couldn’t look at the gods for too long without going blind, how did he bone Dwayna? Just wondering.

I don’t see how that is related. Blind people can have sex you know

On IMDB it is stated that Sumalee Montano, the voice actor of Marjory Delaqua also voices a Guild Wars 2 character named Janis. But I have no idea who that is nor was I able to find anything.

Source1 (scroll down until you get to GW2)
Source2

Does anyone have any idea who this is?

If a video was made of this, it would be the most epic thing ever.

Doesn’t matter with Megaservers. Not for PvE anyway.

I agree. Just making bosses immune to everything is lazy. It turns fights into lame 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 fests.

Lets hope this one will be bigger

Seems like a direct conflict to the Infinite Ball personal story line.
Even in death Scarlet is still causing plotholes.

Yes I concur. There is enough grouped content already (world bosses, dungeons, fractals, wvw etc).

I want to enjoy the story on my own

ElysianEternity.6215:

I thought it had to do with Mesmers having a thing for illusions and lies, like a kind of intuition since it’s their field but uhhh…

I thought the same thing. Mesmers are skilled in the arts of deception so being able to spot lies just seems like a mesmer trait.

I actually know a guy who made over 3000g from dungeons runs alone. I just can’t comprehend how manages to keep dungeons dungeons for that long, his attention span must be infinite.

XacTactX.6709:

Leeto.1570:

And im super christian so whenever theres one of those million human females in skimpy outfits im forced to close my eyes and pray for my soul…. you even know how hard it is to dodge eviscerate then?
So probobly ban all beside norn male.

Trolling.

What he said was just as ridiculous as this thread though. Making Asura animations more visible or making Asura bigger would be a reasonable request.
But asking that everyone who uses an Asura character to be banned from TOL is outright deplorable.

Pyreo.8517:

It’s difficult to incorporate the PC in dialogue because you can’t be voiced

How is that? Of course the PC can be voiced.
I think it’s pretty stupid the PC hasn’t recieved any new voiced dialogue since launch.

But I do agree that the update is really nice. It’s a step in the right direction.
