Well this is all good to hear.

I just finished the Tyrian storyline a few days ago, and just started the HoT story. Everyone seems to be worried about Destiny's Edge while I'm here cursing their names and screaming, "We don't need them". Maybe I shouldn't hold onto a grudge like this, but those fools were so blinded by their hatred for each other that they watched the bloody world burn around them. They only came together in the final hour, after Trahearne, the Pact and the player already did most of the work. Sure, their help was welcome in the end, but I'm inclined to think we could have handled things without them. As far as I'm concerned, they can go know themselves, because we handled things just fine before they came along. I'm not sure if this should go into Lore of General Discussion, but I'll move it if needed.

I don't know, that sounds a lot like what WoW has, and many attribute the insta-queue to the fall of that game. Although, to be fair, other MMOs have that feature and are doing fine.

See, this all makes sense to me. In fact, I'll probably make a Sylvari just to learn more about Trahearne. He seems dry to me, but if what PseudoNewb said is true, there's probably more to him than what I see.

Really? I never got that impression. The annoying voice thing is subjective, but he's with us through most of the events after the attack on Claw Island. I would agree that most of the NPCs seem to congratulate him more often than not on a job that took a group of people. Still, he acknowledges our role at the very least.

I just finished the cleansing ritual of Orr, so maybe I haven't seen everything yet, but he doesn't seem too bad to me. I've heard that people think he's a Gary Stu, and while I would say he's dry in terms of character, he doesn't seem like a Gary Stu. The dialogue never gave me the impression he was the greatest necromancer in Tyria or anything like that, rather he was just competent. To me, he's like a tradesman with several years of work experience under his belt. He's probably rather special in the eyes of the Pale Tree, but nothing too extreme. His Wyld Hunt consisted of him cleansing Orr, but that's it. He'll probably join the forces in taking down the dragon, but he's certainly not doing it alone. As such, I never got any kind of, "chosen one" vibe from him. If anything, the player character is closer to that niche. The only negatives I can think of is his marshal status and his lack of character development. He never goes through any kind of struggle, and he picks up his role as marshal with ease despite never leading such a large force before. As far as I remember, he's never made any mistakes, which is unbelievable. Overall, I do think he's a rather dry and boring character, but I don't hate him. Does he do something later to earn that ire?
