Zera.9435 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 So I'm replaying the EoD story on my ranger, shooting bad guys left and right, having a grand ol' time just pew-pew-ing away. I get to the confrontation with Annka and Soo-Won blah blah blah I'm just gonna stand here and let Annka be Annka.... wait a goddamn minute. Why the hell am I just standing here? I'm a ranger. I have a longbow. I can totally snipe this little demented wannabe scarlet terrorist from here. I just have to tab/click on Annka and press 2... oh wait I CAN'T because plot. I get that you wanted to have some sort of antagonist, but COME ON! Why the hell would you put the enemy within range and not let us kill them outright? You really expect us to believe that our characters would just stand there and let this kitten happen? My character would have put an entire volley of Rapid Fire into the skull of that demented wannabe scarlet before letting her use that extractor on Soo-Won. Story should have ended right there. Crisis averted. Soo-Won stays secure. Cantha maintains its power grid. We don't deal with that whack-kitten meta with rewards that aren't worth the effort after the first success. The commander/dragon slayer SAVES a dragon (what a twist!). Gorrik get his revenge. Everyone is happy. But noooooo. For future reference, devs: don't put the enemy NPC within range and make them un-attackable because plot. It's like a bad movie! At least put them on some way out-of-range unreachable platform. To have our characters literally stand there and let it happen is just insulting. That's just bad writing and it breaks immersion. You guys can do better. I know you can do better. You're a great development team but this is something I cannot overlook and you need to be criticized for it. Also, bring back more GW1 weapon/armor skins. The time is ripe to bring back the Elite Kurzick Warrior armor from GW1. My debit card is ready. 6 3 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiamat.8254 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Play Witcher if you want to cut main characters down before they finish blahing 😂 GW2 will make you suffer if you Replay any of the stories. It's almost like this is intended for masochists. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taclism.2406 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I was expecting a thread about Taimi's literal plot armor on two levels : - Play the "I dont have much time left" card at the end of ibs/start of eod, but - Joon's jade armor relieves Taimi of the pain because [jademagic] 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that Taimi exists, I do. But this jade tech made her disability meaningless. Oh look, harness you don't even notice = cured. Well with the jade tech failing, I suppose that will fail too? It should. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just head canon your character tried to shoot her and she spun up a void magic shield. Edited March 19, 2022 by Taygus.4571 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The true question is why didnt she go the Blish route. That guy already was the true best asura in the entire game and lead the way to greatness. Maybe she'll literally become Scruffy 3.0 w/ jade/void stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedTheCrazy.1028 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) I mean its a MMORPG, usually story is kinda wack lol. Remember where we come from. We went from killing bandits in Queensdale wearing some stinky rugs, to literally command the world's human military fleet killing Gods and Elder Dragon.

It should. About taimi, I'm pretty sure they mentioned that she isn't cured, but that the jade tech solved some problems making her state from "critical" to "ok for now?" So, technically speaking, she is still doomed, it's only buying her some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered the exact same thing. This bothers me in every game, but especially in this one. Seems overused. "The bad guy is right there! Let's shoot 'em!...oh...no...we can't because...reasons. Or they have a magical force bubble that makes them invulnerable. Or they're just invulnerable, also for...reasons!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amanda Whitemoon.6173 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 it would be funny if in the next story we have to fight an enemy that just blah blahs about his evil plan and you get an achivement if you let him finish blablahing untill you kill him, but it als hs an achivement to just attack when you can "why dont you just shoot him?" and the boss has complain dialogues that you didnt listen to its awesome grand plan.
