Aodlop.1907 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/topic/32698-taimi-should-probably-die/ And she since has contracted a severe illness, which we were told would be fatal. I'm grateful, but that's not enough. When you introduce a plot point, that plot point NEEDS to pay off eventually, or else it just leads to frustration for the playerbase, like it did with Malyck for example. Taimi has been sick for way too long by now. So yeah, it's time. Kill Taimi please, preferably in the next LW episode.

Telgum.6071 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I agree, but don't you ever get tired of complaining? Every time I open a complaining thread about an aspect of the game, there is a high change you are the OP. Do you like GW2? 6 4 10 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flasterko.4087 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I hope she will survive and that her and Gorrik will get married and have beautiful babies and live happily for the rest of their lives. 26 3 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divineDerivative.5194 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I mostly love Taimi and will be sad to see her go, but I agree that it's time for her to die. You can't tell us she has a fatal illness and that there's definitely no cure and then she just keeps going for years with no noticeable deterioration. You made a promise, now it's time to keep it. 4 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyncale.1629 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 She will probably magically fuse with the last Dragon when she dies and thus live on forever, in a way. I would be surprised if they would not cushion the blow of her death in some way. Or give it some sort of extra meaning. They couldn't let Aurene die, they are not going to just let Taimi go with a puff of smoke. I do not see them do a repeat of the Eir Stegalkin funeral wake, even though that was pretty cool (and brave from Anet). 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westenev.5289 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I always thought that her character arc would end in her becoming a golem (kinda like Blish). Still though, the gw2 community is bloodthirsty. "Kill x character I hate" seems to be a popular idea. xD 9 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I want to make a "I enjoy that!" fluff thread, I'll do it on Reddit for some free karma. On the forums however, my only purpose is to point out shortcomings so that fixes may be found. You can say I work for the greater good. I'm pretty amazing, come to think of it. 1 1 4 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aspirine.6852 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I was pretty sure before I started eod that she would be gone at the end of the story.. Imagine my surprise, and dissappointment. 5 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Not all diseases progress quickly. Taimi's condition seems a lot like motor neurone disease, which is what Stephen Hawking had. He lived for decades after being diagnosed, as do some other people with similar conditions. Taimi has been trying different treatments which might have increased her life expectancy, either for the symptoms (like the jade tech leg braces she got in EoD) or for the condition itself like using modified chak fluid to stabalise it. I know some people think calling for a character to be killed off is a quick fix for anyone they don't like, or simply a way to make a story "darker" but I think it can actually be more effective story telling (and in this case entirely realistic) for a problem like a chronic illness to be something she has to live with. Also if every character a player didn't like and wanted gone was killed off there would be no one left, including the commander. 9 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarPT.7431 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) I'd much rather her finding a cure within the Jade Tech 😛 Or maybe she becomes like Blish. Edited May 28, 2022 by StarPT.7431 5 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farohna.6247 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I'd prefer to see her find a way to stabilize and manage her illness then take a back seat in a cool lab and just be an occasional consultant as opposed to the wonder kid with all the answers. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she does recover, then I'll feel like we're in a Marvel movie or a DBZ episode, where people don't actually die as long as they're a main character. This is bad. She NEEDS to die. 2 1 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentMoore.9453 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Narratively speaking, she should die. We keep getting red herrings in the writing about how urgent her situation is with her talking about having a terminal condition, how it's come out of remission, how she's running out of time, how things are getting worse and she's in pain all the time but doesn't want to worry the guild, etc., yet nothing has actually happened as a result. You can't keep plucking strings like that and still expect people to be invested, especially when you go to Cantha and in 5 minutes her condition improves because Joon made her some Jade Pants™ that relieve all her symptoms. That's insulting not only from a writing standpoint, but to any player who may have a similar condition who gets to watch it be milked and trivialized over and over. Her condition is either urgent or it isn't, and ArenaNet really should have figured out which one by now. 6 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
