I love racial mentions in eod!

If you're a charr, the boat man says something about having pet cats. -
EoD Elite Spec(s) first Impression interest and review Poll!
Opal.9324 replied to Avion Blade.4869's topic in World vs. World
None of the new specs really caught my interest, so I'm sticking with HoT and PoF specs for now. Luckily I like my current builds quite a bit, so this hasn't stopped me from enjoying the rest of the expansion. -
I didn't even know WvW had rules. I just run around and kill stuff.

Committed Collector. That's actually pretty fitting, considering how much I love to collect old valuable junk.

I'm also unable to buy gems, but I really want the new skyscale skin. Surely it can't be a problem with my bank because I literally just spent money on another game a few minutes ago without issue. Really hoping this gets figured out while that skin is still available because if I miss out on it I'm gonna be pretty salty.

Can Charr please have larger mounts?
Opal.9324 replied to Swing.6439's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
I would love to see this, or at least some skins like the dreadnought raptor for the other mounts. Sure would be nice to not look ridiculous whenever I need to get somewhere. -
not cowards but no lifer :p Why not both?

In memory of Trahearne - [Merged]
Opal.9324 replied to Katelynn.6593's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
As someone who also has some trouble with expressing emotions at times, I never really minded the way he talks. Trahearne wasn't perfect, but he gets way more hate than he deserves. -
Which profession can outplay everything?
Opal.9324 replied to whoknocks.4935's topic in World vs. World
Maybe the unskilled players should practice until they become skilled? People aren't just born good at things. All those amazing players you meet have probably been playing and improving their skills for a long time. Of course, if someone just keeps telling themself "I'm unskilled because that's just who I am", they will probably never get better. That's a very tropey response. I'm sure I've seen it a hundred times or more. Doubtless, it's easy for people to type because they know there are lots of people who agree that skill SHOULD dominate. There's a certain, twisted logic to that thought pattern.... but it's boring.Unskilled players can be unskilled because of circumstances;DisabilityAge - it's known that old folks lose their twitchiness. Time - some people have real lives, and CAN'T dedicate the time to the game that they'd like to. That's not to say that every unskilled player fits into one of these categories, some just don't care about how well they do, but the gap between skilled and unskilled in GW2 is such that even a slightly less skilled player can NEVER EVER beat someone better than them. That's poor design.I have a real life (well, HAD before a certain pandemic showed up), and I like to think I'm at least somewhat decent. I'm also not very "twitchy" most of the time, but there are builds out there that don't require that, and not being twitchy doesn't necessarily make you unskilled. But if not skill, what should determine who wins? Pretty much anything that involves 2 or more people competing is going to have skill involved, unless you make it based on something like RNG or who has the most OP cheese build. Neither of those sound like much fun to me. -

Skeletal Wings Backpack and Glider Combo
Opal.9324 replied to Moriens.2871's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
If they can't make these dyable, I hope that some day they release another necro-y set of wings that is. I wanted to get the skeletal wings, but the green was too bright for me. -
I could have sworn this thread was on the first or second page when I posted on it. What the kitten?

Whenever you are downed, your character goes on a rant about how it's all the younger generations' fault.
