Guild Wars 2

Tots.3056:

Glad to see my siege placement in EB makes it to the forums. As long as you all don’t start a religion over a distraction ram.

Well, annoyingly just a little while ago when I was trying to impress a guild I was hoping to be recruited by, they called for a ram, I tossed one down, and much to everyone’s surprise it grew up to be a beautiful arrow cart!

In response to Darkhaven’s rather interesting siege placement, clearly it was just a matter of time before our server started to make our tower offensives a little more awesome.

You’ll never stop DR now!

So last night turned out to be interesting.

Peeked into IoJ’s borderlands and followed around a decent size militia force as they took a tower and a couple of camps, before deciding to make an attempt for Hills. Of course we came up against what I would say is a slightly more numerous presence of IoJ and their many arrow carts. A bit of back and forth happened between the tower and Hills keep, we’d push to the stairs, IoJ would man the siege and pepper at us, they pushed back to the tower, where we provided them the same courtesy. At some point we noticed that we were outmanned, but we carried on, with the IoJ surrounding the tower, eventually breaching the wall and charging in.

As the took the tower, I finally took a breather and noticed something rather odd. While IoJ were busy trying to take a single tower, DH had, meanwhile, taken their Bay and Garrison. Rather curious about what happened there.

Seeing how there was a rather impressive number of DH out and about in IoJ, I decided to drag a comrade to Darkhaven territory to take a couple of camps, just to spite them. Took one, ran out, and spotted a few people from an allied guild, so we decided we might as well take a tower while we were there. A few rams got tossed down, conscripted another comrade into my party, and our five man party turned into a ten man force. Seeing how there weren’t any other sigils around, I flicked mine on, and as we grew in numbers to about fifteen, our mob charged to the east and took a fortified tower without even a hint of Darkhaven, which gave us an idea.

Personally, I thought that we were doomed, the Darkhaven were going to start piling in, and we should take Hills, but after a bit of polling I half guided half followed our mob to Bay, took out a couple of walls, and found ourselves the new owners of a lovely new keep. My guildie was muttering about how DH was giving us trouble in EB, and how we should probably run off to defend it, but personally I figured that all this fortified stuff could use a little renovating and a change of flags, and as someone began tossing down golems, the DR rabble began to do something we oh so rarely do: Attack Darkhaven’s Garrison.

We knocked down a gate before Darkhaven finally started to send some of their rampaging forces from other maps to here, but it was a tad too little, too late. We took the garrison, admired the view, and even ran up further north to take a tower (that had an improved DH presence in it, but again, not enough to stop us) before I finally shoved command on someone else and skittered off to get some sleep.

Yes I know, we were mostly fighting against empty structures, so hardly a challenge, but personally I think it went rather well.

oZii.2864:

Need more serious in my GW2 like lets get Gears of War/Call of duty style!

This is the most awesome event ever!

Prosecutor.1457:

Hypocrites at its finest.

You know, if you’re going to tell a sob story, at least take a picture where you have the outmanned buff.

I’d show off one, but much to my embarrassment I haven’t been taking any decent ones, so here’s a chicken as a placeholder. I shall do my best to take some sufficient screenshots in the future, as well as include a difficult to prove fanciful story to explain it.

A new person at the helm? Let’s scowl in unison at him! ):<

If you change your in system clock to exactly 16:14 PST, April 1st (You need to take off the case and get a screw to wind it, it’ll be the golden ticking mechanicism), you’ll be able to activate the jump puzzle early to see that it’s actually a pretty simple straight forward zone that’s only special because it’s sparkly. Except Charr. Charr will have to crouch jump every single time to make it through. Of course, since crouching isn’t in this game anymore after someone gave a developer a Halo Hello in sPvP, you have to make due with kneeling instead only to jump right when it’s between a polite curtsy and accepting knighthood from the queen.

Now when you actually complete the puzzle, yes, you do get rewarded with a skin, but it’s only a temporary skin that will vanish unless you buy an ingame fuel source called a Nethium, which lets you power your fancy skin for a whole two days (Or, to help fix the dire situation in tier 7 of WvW, two and a farthing, seeing how tier 8 is pretty well balanced and barely anyone complains anymore after the mods banned most of them).

Again, since the skins are sized for humans, asurans will look like they’re wearing their boyfriend’s jacket (even the male ones, since this is the 21st century, and we should be over such silly notions of enforced gender roles), whereas Charr will look like they’re wearing a woman’s speedo (and there actually isn’t such a thing as a female Charr, they’re just a male Charr talking in falsetto). As for the Norn, well, Norn simply can’t complete jump puzzles anyways, so it doesn’t matter.

Hopefully that answers that question.

Almostfaceman.1804:

Dear IoJ,

You’re just hurting yourself by not working with us against DH.

That’s right IoJ. I hereby propose an alliance. You guys can fight against DH in their borderlands, and we’ll defend your borderlands for you. Yes, I know, it will mean we’ll have your keeps, but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

Haven’t had much of a problem performance wise before the patch, and haven’t had much of a problem after the patch, though it is so much nicer to actually see an army of red names off in the distance as opposed to waiting until I’m right in the middle of them.

What’s this? Black Lion chests are still not only near worthless if you got the key for free, but they’re a ripoff if you pay real money for them? How did that saying go about “Fool me one…”?

Really, you’d think that ANet would bother giving us some microtransactions worth paying for, but no, they’re just laughing away as they toss these glorified lottery tickets with a grand jackpot of five dollars!

Well, never did see that mysterious friendly guardian again, though I’ve had a… not so friendly encounter with Darkhaven this afternoon. This time, I managed to rally up a small army with me, with the intent of making those borderlands a little less blue. I was especially unamused that while IoJ’s breakout tower was only reinforced walls and gates, with no siege, the tower facing our spawn was fully upgraded and brimming with siege, as if mocking us for DR’s inability to make our presence known in the Darkhaven’s homeland.

Honestly, I thought we’d have to just skirt around that tower and go after the weaker southwest one, but I decided to give the breakout a go and see what would happen.

Turned out it provoked a rather lengthy battle, with a sufficient amount of DH showing up to build a plethora of arrowcarts, getting rid of not only our breakout siege, but the supplementary catapults I tossed down in hopes of getting that wall down in a hurry.

Luckily a pair of trebuchets managed to finish the job that our catapults started, but that battle really didn’t go smoothly at all for us. Granted, I didn’t expect it to go smoothly in the first place, but still, one tower down, and a weaker tower to go, right?

Annoyingly I think I absolutely bungled up by taking way too long to attack that tower, while I yanked our forces around south looking for a camp that didn’t have a buffed supervisor guarding it, since when I finally lead our forces into trying to take that seemingly easier tower, Darkhaven were mounting a daunting defense, complete with a trebuchet to take out my catapults right when I thought we were making headway.

After that, well, I was relieved of command given how I was taking too long to get anything accomplished, and I was a tad discouraged, so I’m not too sure how our offensive turned out after I slinked off to mope over a cold drink of milk.

I blame your imposing keeps with their waypoints. We really do need to do something about that.

Krelkain.5418:

last episide of guild of our lifes: derk haven about to secure oil rig contract, btu sister date of isle of jambo mak pressur of debonas rest five pregnants in dispute with [rise] guild millionare

I am feeling both awe, and extreme jealousy at how awesome your guys group is, and would dearly wish to latch onto you guys like a leech to see if your epicness would rub off on me.

Wait, not leech, I mean… ehm…

Well, I was about to foster a healthy disliking of Darkhaven (It’s all those points you have and those shiny keeps. I suppose I’m a little jealous.) but…

As my guild was busy trying to make a dent in Darkhaven territory, I was busy scouting around and spotted a Darkhaven guardian fighting an IoJ. Was perfectly happy to watch them kill each other but the IoJ elementalist began to turn tail and run. Being an opportunist, I naturally charged into kill the IoJ, and then a strange thing happened.

…the Darkhavener bowed to me.

Confused, I saluted, and decided to let him live for the moment, or at least heal up before I tried attacking, and then a pair of IoJ popped up, and the strange guardian from some Abyss guild charged in. Not caring much for unfair fights, even if it lead to a hated enemy’s death, I carefully jumped in as well (and felt some delight that at least I’d be killing an enemy I hated even more… thieves.).

I did nick him a bit, but somehow, at the end, two IoJ were lying dead, and certain to scream about DH and DR’s secret alliance, and I was left staring at my enemy as we saluted to each other.

Sadly any attempts to communicate with him failed, so I was left with displaying my hostile intent with several /threatens and some warning shots from my staff. He seemed saddened that I still wanted to fight, but I made sure it was as fair of a fight as possible, full health, no interruptions.

Annoyingly I died in a close fight, though I’m sure I’ll kill him next time. (I got a tad too confident. Didn’t bother using all of the abilities I had at my disposal until it was too late.)

It is a pity I never got a hold of him. He is a worthy adversary, and too polite. I feel bad when I’m fighting polite people. (Blighter even cried after he killed me. We’re enemies, you frelling friendly Darkhavener!)

JohnnyZero.5619:

To be fair, golem rushing your BL after midnight EST is kind of a low blow, I admit. I hate PvDooring as much as the next guy. We considered doing it to DH, but given that we knew all of their towers and keeps would be fully upgraded AND we would get zerged, we decided DR was the better target. Our golem rush started with 2 golems and 5 escorts, and we were kinda surprised that we got just one of your keeps, let alone all of them.

Feh, don’t worry about our DR whining. Yes, it is annoying when someone has a better night crew than our server (so far it seems to be all of the servers), but…

Really, what the hell is your night crew supposed to do? Strut around admiring the landscape?

Sure it’s sneaky and a little underhanded, but if I was in charge, and I saw an opportunity to take an undefended borderlands, I’d take it. Oh sure, we could be friends, and we could both take on those accursed Darkhaven constantly laughing at us, but I hated that silly idea of teamwork with the enemy when SBI constantly yapped on that we should play nice with you, and I still hate that silly idea. (How’s that teamwork thing going for SBI now, hm? HA!)

So don’t worry too much about hurting some of our more sensitive types feelings. I get more annoyed with the far larger zergs laughing away at us that they could take our keep with drastically superior numbers even after we killed their precious golems with a burning oil that they didn’t bother to kill first. Thieves annoy me too. Oh and confusion mesmers.

Those bloody essential dolyaks taking their sweet time moving their fat furry butts annoy me as well.

I double tap to dodge like a boss. Never have a problem in jump puzzles either unless if I’m a little too twitchy.

Like Forty Seven Ninjas.6982:

And we would’ve had it too, if it weren’t for you meddling commanders! But really, that was a really fun battle, no idea why or how we disbanded so quickly. All we needed was a mesmer to get to the ramp to the second level and we could’ve had a proper fight going!

I figured you guys snuck off because of more important things, probably in Eternal Battlegrounds. I really wasn’t going to argue for you guys to come back, after all. You nearly had us that first charge, especially when your forces were seeping in, flanking us, and even getting some siege up on the second level, I think.

Well, about an hour or so ago, I had some of my guildmates informing me that our borderlands weren’t going well, and when I showed up, I had the pleasure of seeing a rather sizable force of Darkhaven breaking through the southern gate of our garrison, eager for blood.

Personally? I think I barely did anything to improve our odds beyond giving a nice blue sigil for our forces to look at, with DR militia quickly manning the ballistas and turning those rednames into porcupines when they broke the inner gate and piled in.

Our forces tried to push them out, but annoyingly Darkhaven managed to rally up quick like, and soon we were back inside garrison, trying to rebuild siege, regroup, and… wonder why the hell someone decided we needed a golem.

This time, however, we discovered we still had a mortar handy, and with a catapult built up as well, Darkhaven’s siege attempts were pretty much nullified. I tried to group up our forces for a proper counterattack, though that was rendered pointless when our guys just charged them anyways, and I found myself following them, leaving a trail of sparkling bags and corpses behind us as we finally managed to break that assault on our lands.

Was a little anticlimatic when we managed to retake all of our map with little fuss, but I suppose I can’t complain.

Can’t really say that DR was on break though when we had two full queues… as I said, I sincerely hope that our numbers were just padded with sightseers, otherwise our militia is in dire need of training.

I’d like to think my guild and GOLD gave a good showing in IoJ’s map last evening. I did want to take more than just a tower and Bay, but when I started to push to the north, Darkhaven started pushing in from the east, and when I redirected our forces to pummel Darkhaven, IoJ cheerfully charged in from the north again. It is a bloody pain trying to fight a war on two fronts, you know.

Began bleeding numbers when we looked at how awful things were going on our own borderlands, and I spent some time indecisively trying to figure out what I should do. (I really should just ignore my guild leader when I’m in command. Too many kitten suggestions. :b )

Bah! I’m really hoping that DR just had an off day today. I’m going to use the excuse that not only were we dazed and confused at being green (a colour we haven’t been in months!), but the majority of people in WvW right now are just there to get long forgotten Vistas and PoIs.

Gorefiend.9675:

Hate to burst your bubble, but Devonas is slated to stay in t5 for another week atm.

The prediction has been constantly changing. Personally, I wouldn’t mind if DR dropped a tier, giving us a theoretically more fair fight before our fairweathers show up like locusts. (That is, if we actually have any fairweathers left.)

ekleenex.1654:

Can BP or DR field a 50+ zerg before reset? It’s for an… experiment…

Sorry, all our zergs are dead. We ran into Walabone. :c

Well, while I can understand people dueling, they… really shouldn’t expect to have things uninterrupted when they fight on bloody roads. There’s a windmill with barely anyone running around. Go to the frelling windmill!

Nuzt.7894:

Tier buddies, is there anything the power of friendship can’t do ?

If you must know AR and BP will probably hit Ebay hard while holding hands and throwing flowers from our rainbow colored Unicorn’s.

That how we roll.

I… I would mock this strategy, but instead I am only overwhelmed with both jealousy and fear at such a magical friendship!

What’s this? Some people are duelling in WvW for fun?! How dare they!

Well, certain parties in here got rather petty really quickly.

And BP’s unhappy with perceived alliances, and yet quickly call out for a vocal formal alliance the moment they get a wiff of a possibility that one of their tier buddies is showing up. Is that how you beat IoJ? Jumping on top of them like a pair of oversized cats eager to smother them like the homicidal feline furballs they are? Since we were whomping that server while fighting off EBay. And to a lesser extent SBI.

Of course, your types aren’t the mouthies that we’ve come across. We had to deal with several weeks of Maguuma, followed by a few of Kaineg, but while they were bragging about their superiority, they had the numbers to prove it. (And the numbers, but that’s a different matter.)

You know, if DR does manage to linger on this tier just a little longer, perhaps next week for fun and giggles we actually should sign some non-aggressive pact with EBay to ensure that there isn’t a single blot of green on the map, except during the night when we’re all asleep. Might as well, given all your constant suggestions of it, hm?

EBay! Why is your server so awful that a guy killed you five hundred times over? I mean, at this rate, you’ll never take first place and oh wait…

Of course, the only reason why EBay has first place is because of our unholy alliance with them. (Sorry Borlis, but EBay offered us cupcakes. With sprinkles. …arranged in an unholy manner.)

Your idea is awesome, and I hope ANet does something about. A proper long term solution, that is, not that silly reset that would’ve just made things miserable for everyone before a bunch of servers find themselves in T8 hell again.

Charr cat missed out on an awesome close fight last week… and yet the week you show up, EBay starts winning and…

…

…that Charrcat is a SPY!

Oh please, some weeks a server just can’t get fairweathers to show up. DR has had plenty of them. I don’t know why this reset day everything’s been painted green, whether it’s because last week EBay did horribly, or if this week DR and BP are doing horribly, but suffice it to say, at least one server’s been doing pretty poorly compared to what they’re capable of.

Personally, I think BP still has a good chance to bounce back this week. Feeling a tad worried about how my server’s fairweathers are going to perform.

Straegen.2938:

You do realize we have been kept to the lowest score all night? This is mainly because DR and Ebay have been hammering us on both sides of EB and our BL. EBay didn’t push into DR until late and left DR controlled SM completely alone for hours. Good news is DR is now feeling the pain of letting EBay operate in relative safety and are likely going to lose their EB presence soon.

I know, it must be a little embarrassing for you guys to have such a strong showing the first week, and then stumble pretty hard on the opening day. As for our secret alliance with EBay, well, it was pretty sneaky of us to nearly completely lose our borderlands to green, wasn’t it.

Granted, I showed up about two hours after reset, and yes, we were taking a couple of BP towers… mainly because you guys simply weren’t anywhere to be found. Try to attack EBay’s corner of the map? Get swarmed by Green Invaders intent on defending their fortified walls. Attack BP’s corner? Barely defended wooden towers with a few disoriented uplevels trying to keep us away.

Honestly, if I had my way, I would’ve taken your precious keep as well, and pushed you right off the map, but for some reason our allies were constantly running around in our borderlands, flipping camps, threatening our towers, and trying to put holes in Stonemist. At one point they even did a near full clockwise circle around Stonemist Castle just erasing our cannons and burning oil, before running even deeper into our territory, before we eventually managed to hammer them down near Mendons…

…of course this was all just a clever ruse on our part to bring up Orange swords in order to draw you guys out. Clearly BP didn’t fall for such a trick, seeing how you guys meekly took back a tower or two with a five man group, and left it to pretty much EBay to do all the work when it came to fighting for Stonemist Castle.

Archer.1658:

In for another boring week. No challenges from BP, and while I like DR, it gets boring fighting them too (not in a bad way).

EBay didn’t want that castle anyways.

And we’re trying to keep you entertained, honest! Just that it turns out that the Charr are horrible jugglers. …and the Asurans are horrible to juggle. They keep squirming and crying out… until they hit the ground, then they’re kind of limp and quiet.

I’m sort of worried (and yet hopeful regarding map completion) that DR will be dropping down a tier the week after, assuming Anvil Rock continues trouncing IoJ. Personally, I think this week was the best DR can currently put out, and while our WvW guilds can certainly only get better, it’s… well, it’s our fairweathers. They like to trickle away, until we get a new opponent, and then they all charge back in again.

Though at least our server is getting better, as opposed to just mass abandoning everything… and the militia are starting to carry supplies too! It was still a tad embarrassing to see our militia auto attacking a gate when there was a ram just sitting there, waiting to get used.

But! While I do want those nice green vistas, I don’t intend to give your servers any less of a fight this week.

And BP, tell your uplevels to stop picking fights with me. I sort of feel bad when I kill such courageous people charging into a hopeless fight. (Also, BP, can you stop carrying all these kitten spikes? I swear it’s only EBay that carry badges….)

If this actually happens, I will enjoy every single sweet delicious tear of every thief thought they were “skilled”.

king of lag.2615:

king of lag.2615:

oh DR you always surprise me

Sadly I didn’t take any fancy action shots, too busy worrying about doing my part to take that castle, but here, have a shot of us admiring our golems as we prepared to recapture Stonemist for the glory of DR!

…we were also spending a while calling out for more people to show up until we began to get the sneaking suspicion that culling was hiding the majority of our numbers. Yeah, really can’t wait for that update.

Well, I was a bit worried after that massive trouncing given to everyone by Borlis Pass, but… looks like we’ve all managed to recover. Yes, it’s unlikely that we’re going to beat them this week, but the DR did manage to take your precious Stonemist Castle last night, and…

Oh, I see, you took a lot of our stuff while I was asleep. kitten it, we need more Kiwis on our server!

KStudios.2850:

Why won’t you look me in the eyes when we make war anymore?! -Sobs loudly into hands-

Well it’s not so much because of you but… it’s… it’s…

…those eyebrows.

Such a long hard fight for Stonemist this evening… EBay was just the better organized server for this battle. Not that I think it’ll be over soon, there’s still more than enough holes that you can’t really call it an outer wall any more, but…

Honestly, I’m impressed. Immensely annoyed, mind you, but impressed. We noticed two well organized guilds, and not only that, but an organized militia, defending Stonemist and the surrounding area. Our militia… well, they like to scatter a little too much, especially when things aren’t going well.

Being behind 20k really isn’t that bad… things have been getting better week after week, I’d say.

KStudios.2850:

I hear a couple of you Borliss folks are wanting the 25 silver for killing me. Specifically said, pic or it didn’t happen. It has happened a few times today. I see no pic here yet though. =P

Pft! No one even bothered to make a picture to back up their claim? It’s totally easy! Behold my entirely real and totally not falsified footage of killing you, deserving your reward!

Oh how nice of BP to point out all of DR’s flaws after we finally meet again since… I don’t know, I got here right about when Maguuma showed up, and since then we’ve been fighting against some pretty tough opponents that kept trouncing us, even though according to them we’ve always had superior numbers. (I like to call my superior numbers Harvey.)

Just remember, when you point a finger at us, four more are pointing back at you!

Which is why when I point, I use a swagger stick. The swagger stick is also of some use on the heads of our DR militia who, after a few months of having barely nothing to defend, and barely any hope of succeeding, now have not one but two opponents that we can actually beat. And honestly, that’s not something we’ve expected.

So excuse our current bumbling around. It can be a bit embarrassing showing up on a fortified tower being attacked by BP with a treb, with five guys unable to think of what to do, when there’s a mortar right there that I promptly used for good effect. It really is a new thing to us, having mortars we can actually shoot, you see. They seemed rather impressed when I put it to good effect. Perhaps, even more impressed by BP’s persistence in building trebuchets on that hill while I was raining mortarfire down on them, but I digress…

I see you’re pretty proud of being ahead by over, what, 20k point? That’s… that’s good, I suppose. I mean, the other guys, they… well, never mind. Enjoy that lead for now. It might increase, if our forces become demoralized and sneak off to PvE instead. What I’m hoping for, however, is that the longer we see that we actually have a chance to hold our own against you, we’ll start to get organized and actually beat you back down.

I’m also hoping for an in-game swagger stick. Enough with these silly backpacks that flail around because there’s an Asuran bound and gagged inside them, I want something to thwack people with!

Well, it wasn’t exactly a wonderful romance between the two, there was a bit of a fight for Stonemist when Ebay seemed to have pushed in, giving us a bit of hope that we’d be able to retake and repair, but… then the EBay swarm quickly rushed back to VK, with Borlis Pass guarding the east again, and sadly I had to leave at that point, sighing away while wondering what we could’ve done in such an icky situation.

Well, it was fun at first desperately fighting off Borlis Pass as they began intruding into our corner of the Eternal Battlegrounds…

…but once Ehmry Bay began pushing in from the west, well, gets kind of disheartening being double teamed like that…

Mahogany?

Oh please, why would ANet include LFG? It makes too much sense!

I’m actually shocked to see that not only does DR still hold some territory, it holds Stonemist Castle. Usually it all gets stolen away while the majority of us sleep. Whoever this mysterious night crew is, keep it up! That is, if it’s a night crew, and not the day crew pulling an all nighter.

To the glorious, skillful, barely present SBI, who are constantly fighting off the hordes of IoJ and DR, outnumbered 10-1! Given how from what I’ve read there really is only five of you fighting against, oh, what is it, a thousand of us online? …I hereby congratulate you on your brilliant tactics, your helpful comments on how IoJ and DR should be teaming up against you, and I trust that, on your journey to Tier 4, you will use your brilliant skills in killing constant hordes many times your size and your astounding diplomatic skills to organize other servers to your cause and will swiftly defeat Maguuma and make your way up to Tier 3.

I’m not too sure about the other servers, but on Devona’s Rest, it can be pretty easy to see that bots are everywhere. Sit on a resource node for a little while and they’ll warp into existence, mine a few times, and then immediately disappear, off to gather at the next node. Or swim underwater, and you’ll see a parade of them blinking around, auto attacking any fish (or wall), heal up, and move on. Or even on land, with bots running along in strange zig zags, attacking mobs in a manner that will only make sense to a computer, completing a nice predictable circle of an area of land barely frequented by people actually playing the game.

It’s easy to spot them. It’s a tad annoying to report them, especially when they blink around so much. And it’s infuriating to see that ANet is doing absolutely nothing about them.

Just look at the thread about what they’re doing about botting. First ANet makes the boast that they’ll come down hard on bots, then they lock it up when people ask them to prove it, promising updates in the future…

…and since then, the only “updates” we get is from the moderators pointing at a long dead thread as proof that ANet is doing something, even though all it proves is that they once said something about doing something sometime ago, and since then, eh, recoloured Quaggan backpacks are more important, really.

As I continue to send report after report to some mysterious silent abyss, I have to wonder… why bother? Why should I waste my time following around some suspicious character, making sure it isn’t someone that just isn’t bumbling around on a lousy internet connection? Why should I spend the effort trying to read a warping bot’s name, typing it into the “Add a friend” to report them, only to see my “bot friend” is still healthy and online weeks later?

Why should I report bots, when ANet hasn’t bothered to even pretend that they’re using those reports in months?

I’d save the original storywriter before ANet killed him off and decided to finish writing the story missions themselves.

Hm… where to start… I hate how “This is my story!” turns to “This is Trahearne’s story, but he does listen to me now and then.”

I hate his bland voice like he’s busy reading out the EULA instead of being this awe inspiring leader that supposedly everyone loves having in charge.

I hate how much he loves the sound of his voice. Skip to the end? Well guess what! He can talk to you while you walk around, until his speech bubbles block up your screen.

I hate how convenient he is. We have three orders that hate each other, and what does it take to get them to work together? Oh, well, we have this talking tree that just so happens to be handy. Let’s follow him! Sure, all he has on his resume is he’s unnaturally obsessed with Orr to the point that you should be suspecting he’s actually working for Zhaitan, but, nope! He’s the leader now.

I hate how buddy buddy he is with me. Everywhere I go, he’s there, waiting. Watching. Always with that creepy smile. … kitten stalker.

He’s a Mary Sue! He’s oh so perfect, everyone loves him, even though he’s oh so worried about doing everything right…

He’s a tad kitten arrogant. Everything Zhaitan does, Trahearne thinks it has to deal with him personally.

He replaces everything. What? You found out where your parents are buried, and might be interested in finding out more? Trahearne! What? Your mentor just had something horrible happen to him or her, and you might want to- Trahearne!! So you might actually be interested in w- OH LOOK IT’S TRAHEARNE!!

I started off liking the story missions, but… once the Trahearne script kicked in, and really, it reads like bad fanfiction, I found myself cringing at the thought of doing yet another story mission, and just wanted to get it over and done with so that I’d never have to go through that absolute torture ever again.

Hate to be that person that bought a Final Rest for 1500 gold now. :b
