Rockin Twilight Sparkle.26

How is the introduction of a major character tangential though? I mean, we got the replay of his boss fight at least, but if the season one replay is to assuage the 'who the hell are these people' sense...

Her only flimsy connection to the plot is that Balthazar somehow got one of her mirrors (or just a mirror named after her) to disguise himself as Lazarus. The mirror that he had was enchanted by Lyssa herselfAnd he cursed every one of the gods except for Lyssa

Map completion used to require WvW mapsTHAT was the definition of pain

I sorta assumed he diedOr worse There's wayyyyyyy too many stories that just ended up dropped

ButMadeline wears shoes

Part of me is just a little pre-disposed towards not liking Sylvari characters as easily as others because they're....They're not implemented poorly, but it just feels like there's some clunk and a bit of that 'just so special' thing to them, especially early on.

Monthlies should return alsoAnd the brunt of the 'historical' achievements.

Honestly, the problems with Trahearne are... kinda rooted in the nature of the Sylvari. They've seemingly got (originally) this grand sense of importance and grandness of scale insisted upon. Not that its a bad thing to expand the racial scope beyond just humans like Guild Wars 1 did but something about the worldbuilding for Sylvari has always struck me as... just slightly sue-ish.

Snargle is an absolute monster and he needs to be stopped

Just what the title asks. Not sure if the devs have ever made a comment on it or not or if its just another plot-point that was quietly forgotten about. Just re-ran Catacombs and I've been reminded of this very good question.

Honestly, I realize she had a hard lot in life and everything, she's really been through the wringer but one of the most annoying things in the story has been me being told that I trust Caithe now. They pushed this sense of importance onto her with Aurene but I... just still do not trust her.

He's totally regenerating from his severed tail in the Durmand Priory. He's gonna fuse with that Jade Wurm in there

I mean for some it kinda helps that they can sense Bath Salts inside of Aurene

He was 'stripped of his power' and yet still seemed to have it. Call it a facsimilie of it or whatever, I still think its a little significant that 'a mortal with a flaming sword killed him' (or possibly not with said flaming sword!) means more than you're letting on. Also, Abaddon was killed by mortals As for dragons, 'fundamental part of nature's workings' is literally from the wiki and is spelled out in the story. Were you paying attention? Exploiting a weakness or not, they bleed; we kill them I'm just saying 'we're only mortal' is a pretty awful argument for why we can't do something in a fantasy setting like this one.

How can a 'mere mortal' possibly kill a god?How can a 'mere mortal' possibly kill fundamental aspects of nature?

That whole business with the Shadowstone practically begs for something more

A Magdaer resolution would be niceSomeone making an actual note of the Bloodstone Caves door in Straits of Devastation would be nice, unless thats literally just meant to be an easter eggActually explaining what the heck was up with Deepstone?I almost want them to touch back onto an unused thing from GW1 and detail into Arachnia There's some blocked off roads and broken bridges in core Tyria that beg for something to fill in the gaps, even if that gets weird because its like 'oh so Lake Doric was just THERE the whole time and closed off because :D'

That might be the only God Realm he has an ACTUAL connection to since he ate Bath Salts, but I meanDeath Magic, God of Death, Realm of DeathPlant Magic, Goddess of Nature, Realm of Nature Some of the gods and some of the dragons DO parallel each other pretty plainly like that

Just because no one else has ideas doesn't mean your ideas are good.They're gonna bring in a new race, one that can't do the story of the other campaigns at all?And just doing 'Heart of Thorns 2: We're underwater this time' sounds... less inspired. I'd rather they do another knockoff of a a GW1 plot. Nightfall 2 Electric Boogaloo was actually pretty alright
