You would need at least 3 skritt to count as a player. Not even a heroic skritt would count as a single player when alone.
Imagine, a thief skritt with dual daggers.
The armors pieces would be split between all of them, doing things like fashioning coats out of shoulder pieces and leggings, or helms out of gloves. And while one skritt uses one dagger, another uses the other, and a third brings the alt weapon and stays behind.
An skill animations would have to be made for all of them, like one pulling the others when dodging, or all of them grabbing a greatswordwhen performing a stronger attack, while only two of them would grab it for most attacks.
Imagine the warrior spinning gratsword attack: Two skritt grabbing a third by the feet, and the third grabs the sword, and there they go all three spinning.
No matter how cool it’ll look, the animations something like this would require would be insane. Insanely fun, insanely ridiculous, and insanely time-consuming.
And they’ll have to record quite some extra sets of voices, when the existing ones can’t be used with 3 other people, or a single skritt talking for the rest.
Oh this 3 makes 1 player none sense so reminds me of the race I’ve hated the most in any mmorpg, the stupid allods online Gibberlings! so freaking annoying !!!
Leave that crap out of the Guild Wars universe please !
Just my 2 cents…..!
I like this idea! buuut i would like to keep my Skritt as a Single being. Maybe a new race could utilize the, 3 count as one player, concept…
maybe Quaggen.
i have found several from the Karma vendors. Usually the ones that sell aquabreathers are located by water, like lakes ect. i have seen one (and only one) posted on the trading post. I don’t know if that was a drop or if it was crafted.
I have been googling this topic because it seems like the aqua breathers are kind of spaced out between levels and there is a gap in the benefits you receive from that stats on the gear. My guess is if you buy the green items they will last longer as adequate and useful gear. Maybe this is supposed to fill the Stat-benefit gap, i’m not sure.
Also i found a beta forum where players stated they recieved the bonus stats from the aquabreather when they are above water, but i can’t find anything official if this is true or not.
Thanks for the responses, guys.
Basically what I take from all this is that there is no end-game content; that you are all doing the same things you did whilst leveling.
I was worried about this pre-launch because during one of the dev videos, the two guys were very vague about the end-game. I knew there wouldn’t be any heavy-duty raids, but come on. The reason end-game content exists is to give people a reason to hit the level cap, a carrot on a stick to keep them going.
I can PvP and WvW from level 1, and to be honest neither of those things is all that great; the PvP is inferior to the first game’s and I have yet to see any cooperation in this game whatsoever. A bunch of people loading up a screen with overblown skill effects does not make for teamwork.
Anyway guys thanks for the answers. I wish I would have known all of this before now because I would have cancelled my pre-order.
The last few games I have seen that released with little or no end-game content (TOR and TERA) are both already dead in the water. Just something to think about.
I think you either missed the whole point of this game or you are trolling for the Pandas. Grinding your way to level cap is not how this game is supposed to be played, but hey it’s your money and time, do with it what you want.
