Okay, thank you! I think I understand and know what I need to do now. Thank you for you help! And everyone else!

Okay, that does clear up a lot. Thank you. I think I just found something else, you craft Legendary out of Ascended? At least for armor, so weapons too?

Hi! I am sure this has been answered a few times by now, but I can't find one that makes sense cause the answers seem to change. What is the difference between Ascended and Legendary? Is one better than the other. From what I can tell: Ascended has set stats. Sigils/Runes/Etc cannot be removed without either a cost. Needs transmutation charges to change the appearance. Legendary can swap stats. Sigils/Runes/Etc can be removed and swapped without cost or issue. Does not need transmutation charges to change the appearance. Am I missing something or is that pretty much it?

I like the idea. I honestly talk about the game a lot and use my character choices for examples, etc. It would be nice to be able to look it up, even if I am not at my gaming computer. Or with out having to log in and dig around for it. Especially if this would give a view of what all the choices were for that character, and not just what you choose, but what the other options where as well.

They do. Charr may dislike magic, but they haven't abandoned it. One of the charr biography warband mates is an elementalist, even. As for kodan necromancer: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Final_Stillness Song of Final Exile once held profession trainers before they removed that stuff with the pre-HoT traitline rework. Curiously though, there was no thief or mesmer kodan (those trainers were human and norn respectively); perhaps due to their connection to denial and chaos magic. Perfect! Thank you so much!

We have our final tally of characters! Charr EngineerCharr ElementalistCharr WarriorSylvari ElementalistSylvari GuardianHuman WarriorKodan RangerKodan Necromancer Now I understand Charr Elementalist and Kodan Necromancer may not fit the Lore of their peoples. But we have some in game reasons as to why they have taken on these roles.

She holds to her own Code very well. I do wish she would confide it to someone though so we understood her a bit more. Again though I have no problem with her Code/Morals, etc because there is the need for the darker character... except for when she stepped on my honor. That was an action that didn't only affected her. Most everything else she has done came back on her.

I mean think of the implications this story line could have on in game effect. Character is Commander of the Pact. If it came out that two hostages were killed under your watch and protection and you did nothing about it could be the perfect fuel someone could have to start a campaign to undermine your integrity.

I would really hope for an expansion, that while it continues the story of the world, is similar to GW1 expansions. By that I mean, its a new starting area. Cantha since its been closed off for so long. Human, Asura, maybe one or two new starting races that can only be started from the area. Majority of the same professions, with one or two new ones. To be a Ritualist again, that would be fun! (I was hoping Dervish would have come back with PoF). Then start from the beginning, build up a new character with a new story that ties into the continuation of the world!

She herself I don't have an issue with. I understand the character that does what is necessary. It was that she committed such actions that tarnished the Word and Honor of the Character without an option to call out on it. Now I understand that won't be a problem for most players. Probably mostly RP based ones would, and even then for those that care about such things. If I get the chance to play through LS2 myself, then I will be interested in seeing how she behaves and if she has changed at all. Also random aside, did Faolain ever resolve or is she still out in the world somewhere? Do you really want an answer to that? I understand what you are saying and you should get used to it. The Commander is often very passive, without agency.I suppose not. It will be good to try and find that info out. I have completed Main Story, HoT, and am currently working on PoF. However I have not done any of the Living World seasons at all, sadly. I hope to be able to do so at some point, cause I think you gembuy them to play through if I recall correctly.

Thanks! It seems I may have had the quest lines mixed up. I suppose that is true, the Character is a bit wracked still after the previous scenario. However Caithe's actions in that scenario are the actions I would expect from someone of the Nightmare Court. They give you a scenario where you can rise above such actions. To be honorable and noble. She destroys that. Not only that but, (but now that you reminded me of the actual quest), Gavin, a member of the Nightmare Court, is a very Honorable person. Admittedly you do fight him over the White Stag, but his actions through out the quest were Honorable. He had a different view, surely, or he wouldn't be with the Nightmare Court. By the end of the Quest I was more comfortable with him then with Caithe. With him, not the Nightmare Court. I suppose that may have been the purpose of the quest. To show neither side is perfect/good/bad, etc. That Its not straight forward, black/white.

Okay, so inherently I did not have a problem with Caithe. Sylvari was my first choice for character and I loved learning about them. The only race [option] that didn't exist in GW1 to have a backstory we already new. I started with the Green Knight PS. Caithe seemed cool. Not as air headed as some Sylvari could seem to be. Star Crossed with Faolain. It was cool... until A Good Work Spoiled. That would be the part where YOU GIVE YOUR WORD that the Nightmare Courtians who show up will be let go and live if they give you the information. They give you the information and Caithe sneaks up behind them and murders them! She then goes on to convince you this is a good thing and your character has to be okay with it. Now it isn't so much the murder. I mean story wise, etc, I understand why it was done. If it had been an option of:-Give your word and they live-Give your word but actually lie-Force the information Etc or something like that. It wouldn't have been such a problem for me. But the fact that Caithe did this, there was not option to not be okay with the fact you gave your word and Caithe destroyed it, and she was kept as a Mentor/Person to look up to, was my problem. I mean at that point I would have 'divorced' myself from Caithe. Either gotten someone else from Destiny's Edge or even the Luminary from my Cycle to take over. But Caithe, knowing she is without Honor, I am not okay with that. I will concede she may have redeemed herself with DE and her friends. Or something like that later on that was more Honorable or whatever. But the fact she did this on my Word and Honor remains. What do you guys think? (Yes. It is a game, etc. It didn't give me real life problems, etc. But I did switch over to Asura after that to finish the Main story line. Later on I did go back and make a Sylvari that I completed with.)

If memory serves, though, the book does call Hoelbrak a minor waystop at one point, or at least something indicating it wasn't yet a settlement of any major size. That might be what Kashin's thinking of. EDIT: Chapter 27 (so 1256)- "If they made it that far, the caravan could reach the norn waycamp known as Hoelbrak before winter." But, on the other hand, the passage goes right on to say that it had a functioning asura gate already- given how expensive the novels established those are, Hoelbrak would have to already be pretty bustling. I recalled something was mentioned about it, yes. Thank you for digging that up Aaron!

Thanks! Everyone, including myself have been really looking forward to it.
