  1. being honest i red a more Gnostic inspiration

    I will say flat out Su-Wan is the Demiurge a creator entity that is not wholly good and could even to be argued to be evil. She sat idle while her children repeatedly layed waist to the world in past Dragon cycles. and may have even been involved from it herself! After all the stories passed down by the Jotun, dwarves and other ancient races don't paint any dragon in a good light. 

     

    As far as we know "the horrors of the deep" may be caused by one of her old champions.

     

    heck she even looks like a Lion-Headed Snake

  2. main reason we did not get any changes is many people would have complained.  while you can earn a Glowy Aurine inspired tricked by doing all the "return to" achievements it does feel like something that should have been a Epilogue item for the whole Dragon ark  that a item for grinding the heck out of Living world for a second time.  i suspect if you paired that trinket with the Aurine legendary weapons  you would copy the look we had in the last mission.

     

    but honestly we did get shafted on the "champion glow" and the choice to keep it

    in GW2 the humans have held the "Elf" trope spot for a while being the older race on the decline/just getting over the hard times.

    I hardly see humans as even being close to elves. For starters they are not even close to an old race they appeared in Cantha when the gods deposited them there from some other world in 205 BE than Balthazar encouraged them to go conquer the world. dating the Asura is impossible as they were basically a unknown until eye of the north  but being a native species to Tyria they are probably as old as the Charr. As far as char we know they were there when humans pushed into Ascalon  and possibly even further south into areas around the crystal sea as a multiple bes-reliefs of a human fighting a Charr can be seen in GW1's version of the tomb of the primeval kings (the wall where these carvings existed is collapsed by Brand in GW2)

     

    As far as the human collapse it is more of the result of being on the receiving end of a Violent reconquest by first the Charr and now the centaurs  that closely resembles that of the Reconquista  that happened in the real world (781 years of war in the Iberian Peninsula )

  4. I always found the human death in the game as Spaghetti western campy more than disturbing. Some of the Asura Death wales can be rather disturbing there is female death scream that's rather haunting   also last words like "My role has ended" or "It all make sense now"  are more disturbing on a existential level than just "You got me!"

     

    Being honest representation of Killing a intelligent being should be Disturbing on some level

    so whats next, you wanna ban goldclaw?

    Nice False equivalence Goldclaw is basically ignorable no where do you ever have to interact with him to progress the story. the objectionable words used mentioned here are part of the main story line and as a result there is no way to just avoid them

    Being honest I was not that annoyed by the cursing except that the word "God****" was coming out of my Asura they don't believe in gods . there is a lot of dialog choices in EoD that simply do not do not fit the world i turned my sound off hald way thrugh the story and walked starburst to starburst half way through because so much of the dialog was that annoying

     

    prime example the mission "Your Kind of people" has some terrible example of Valey-girl speak

    Speaking with Akane
    <Character name>: Akane, right? Detective Rama gave me permission to be here.
    Akane: Okay. Yeah. That's totally interesting.
    <Character name>: I'm gonna dig through your archives.
    Akane: In the back. Knock yourself out. Ooh... I'll be keeping a close eye on you.
     
    Akane: Remember, some of those files are super off limits to you.

  6. Guilds in Gw2 have been needing love for a while fore example as another [TINY] member a lot of the issues we have could be cured by alliances and alliance chat like we had in Guild Wars 1 (guild allies were also able to visit the halls of allied guilds)   Guild Content could use some love as well. and this could be done without too much work giving an example

     

    "Guild Strike missions"  these could be special strike instances that a whole Guild Squad could enter that can potentially scale beyond just the 10 standard players of a regular strike. the beauty of this is every time a new strike is added new guild content is added as well thse events could drop a token that is tradable in a quantity for Accended Armor and weapons.

  7. this name is a reference to older games that would have insulting names for "Easy Mode"  Wolfenstine 3D for example had "Can I play Daddy" and Doom and Doom 2 had "I'm too young to die!" (Both of these would feature a picture of the main character in a baby bonnet and sucking a passifier)  this happened in other games as well but i too am a person who is recovering from Brain Injuries and can't remeber them all

    Remember SaB is a love letter to 90's Gaming. unfortunately the reference is lost to people who never played these classic games.

    I posted this in another thread already but here it is again-

     

    Considering some of the story elements/dialogue and direction etc in EOD, I would expect the the 4th expansion to be something like this -

     

    Tyria is facing disastrous climate change with [Aetherblades/dredge/insert recycled antagonists here] cutting down forests for some reason. 

     

    Charr factories spewing out CO2 are making it worse and their leadership believe climate change is a hoax.

     

    At the same time a virulent poison plague spread by some doctor is decimating populations and conflict erupts between those that are willing to take condition reduction potions and those that believe the potions will exert mind control over them somehow.

     

    Protests erupt all over Tyria in support of and against action on climate change and a movement begins in support of SLM (skritt lives matter).

     

    Our intrepid commander and [insert preferred pronoun here] guild mates must navigate though all this and save the world yet again while as a side quest [insert preferred pronoun here] saves a critically endangered species of choya.

    How about no People go into Fantasy worlds to get away from this sort of trash keep earth problems on earth

    Sorry friend, this is Cantha at war, not a church.

    does not matter a person should have an option to filter that sort of language. and this may com as a shock but there are people at war who don't use that sort of language

  10. Zaitan: Fun buildup and story the books added much end fight was disappointing 

     

    Mordramoth: stated with the season that was Zurg wars 2 went to a verry slow Season 2 but at leat it mad mordy scary

     

    Season 3 PoF Season 4  (Kralkaroric) by far this was the hayday of Guildwars 2  regular fun updates that pushed the engine in new ways this period asnd the Kral fight were amazing as far as balthazar rilly did not care either way but hey thanks to EoD we now have "ooga booga" Magic to blame

     

    Icebrood and EoD:  the Pandemic era aka Guild wars wipes it's but with its world building

     

    i am going to be honest i stopped caring about Icebrood as soon as we got "Silver wastes 2.0" Aka Drizzewood this was a complete and utter backtrack from the awesome of season 4 but i understand pandemic happened things got rough

     

    but i need to take fire at the way Primortis was handles as both a GW1 and now person who plays Asura Characters. Primortus was the Dragon we got a taste of in Eye of the north he is the one Guild wars 1 players Daydreamed of seeing and fighting from that time forward and what did we get .... Primortus would have also have allowed us to see the Underground cities of the asura things we have been hearing about once again sense eye of the north in 2007!

     

    Than we get the mess that is EoD and the new writers who "care more about characters than the past world building" well i hate to tell you this your New Characters are as likable as a Sadistic orthodontist and don't get me going on this one human is smarter than all of the Asura. 

     

    Look closer she is not that darn smart echovald is a dump and the Jade sea is close to mined out completely considering that Jade tech is a relatively new thing judgeing by the age of Joonie -Su  but ooh they have moving pictures. Pfft

     

    And than theres Void this scary magic that drives people crazy that was pulled out of the air suddenly (and i don't believe it was planed long term its conveniently using a generic spooky sounding word) now wou can blame everything on it because it was explained so well 

     

    Why did abbadon go crazy? void

    Balthazar? Void

    every other baddie in guild wars? Void
