Not dragons… Why would a Dervish use an avatar of a dragon (especially a player).
you are right. i was just throwing something out there. i wasnt thinking in depth about it. just that there are other ways around the avatar thing.
Gameplay mechanics. There isn’t any solid lore for the legendaries so far.
which is sad imo. it would have been amazing if you would know why your weapon is important beyond “i like the skin and it has the best stats”.
the officers in my guild have tags in order to show people on the map where they are during guild events. a couple of them are becoming good commanders in WvW. the rest of them would never tag up in WvW and have no desire to.
so the tags can be used for more than just commanding.
i agree that there are some really bad commanders out there. but how do you force them not to command?
some of my guildmates and pretty much every other person on the map were yelling at one commander during the marionette event. he kept trying to tell people to do things that were amazingly stupid. he kept insisting that his way worked while all the other commanders told him he was an idiot. he continued trying all the time during the marionette with the same dumb tactics. he is a good example of having 100g doesnt make you a good commander.
I’ve said it a few times in various places, but I think the most important thing in any presentation of a profession idea is coming up with a solid identification of what the playstyle of a profession is (and thus, why it would play differently to others). I can see why people jump straight to skill descriptions, but consider that when the professions were being originally announced only a handful of skills were revealed – what got people excited was not the nitty gritty of skill lists, but the high-level explanation of how the profession behaved.
Sure, it might be possible to divine this from skill lists, but it’d be a lot easier to understand and more compelling if you left that aside apart from a few examples and talked about how you expected the profession to be played. And if you don’t already have some idea of that before you start planning out skills, you’re kinda putting the cart before the horse.
i think that if the dervish were to return as a playable class that it wouldnt happen until elona returned as well.
one way i could see how it would be played by all classes is that after all of this time the dervishes could have turned away from the gods altogether because they have abandoned them. then maybe they could draw their powers from the mists or darker forces of nature. their powers could still be avatar based either way.
if it were the mists, then their new avatars could be almost anything powerful from there. if from darker forces of nature then they could become avatars of more powerful elemental beings like dragons or the like.
of course this is all just guessing but this would allow other races to partake in the class.
Lion’s Arch has a treaty with the Zephyrites. Aiding in rebuilding LA would be a good show of that treaty.
i agree. and in the background it would seem that the zephyrites rebuilding LA would be a good springboard connection to cantha if it ever became a possibility that we could go back there.
i had a thought that maybe the leaders of each of the five races might work toward rebuilding LA. make it a truly multi cultural city as it is important to all races. that probably wouldn’t happen but it would make for an interesting city both politically and architecturally.
one this i believe for sure is that it will be rebuilt. why leave a map on the grid with no value other than mapping and three jumping puzzles. right now that is all that it is good for.
i just think that konig guy didnt want to admit it and was just trying to be more right. that is pretty mean
Thanks for the insult. BTW, I can say the same for jheryn too.
Honestly? I don’t give a kittening kitten if I’m right or wrong. You can prove me wrong go the right kitten ahead. I did not see jheryn saying he didn’t think mursaat were non-native, I saw him say “it’s possible… bit there’s nothing to support it.”
And right now? It feels like you’re trying to gang up on me and make me into the badguy for some kitten able reason I don’t know.
So I was wrong in what jheryn was saying? Alright, I was kittening wrong! But so would you be in how you interpreted what I wrote with the humans being the only confirmed non-natives.
This is all lovely and dandy and all that, but it’s really making me feel hated by the community even if it’s only two or three folks. So y’know what? Don’t want me around? You can just say it. Hate how I am? You can just kittening say it. To my face. Don’t have to make me look like an kitten first, or point how I’m “clearly” the only one in the wrong.
If I misunderstood what jhendy said, then he’s just in the wrong as I am as he misunderstood what I said.
i didnt mean to insult you. it was just my interpretation of the conversation between you and jheryn.
but now you are jumping me saying i am wrong about how i read your sentence. that hjorje guy also said he read the sentence the same way i did and jehryn did. no one is ganging up on you. i think we are all just telling you that you didnt word a sentence like you think you did. that is all.
i can understand how you took some of the things jheryn said the way you did. after re reading them i see some of your side. but in some of them he says they are most likely from tyria. in his last post he outright says he believes they are from tyria.
again i am sorry if i insulted you or made you feel bad. that was not my intent.
But really, I think Konig hit the nail on the head when he observed that “both sides of the argument, we’re seeing the others’ sentences as something than what the writer intended”. The longer the exchange above went, the more it looks like you both are really agreeing on the fundamentals and arguing over who’s more to blame for the misunderstanding. The only distinction apart from that is that Konig feels – and I agree – that there’s little point following lines of speculation based on the mursaat being non-native when we have no evidence suggesting they’re non-indigenous. Otherwise, we could also be pursuing long lines of speculation based of the idea of quaggans, krait, and pretty much any other race you could care to name being foreign to Tyria.
i think so too. both sides were seeing the others sentences as something other than intended, but I agree with jheryn.
i don’t see how konigs statements about humans can be taken any way but how jheryn read it.
i also think that mursaat are from tyria. i think jheryn does too. he said it a bunch of times.
i just think that konig guy didnt want to admit it and was just trying to be more right. that is pretty mean
