Person too angry to acknowledge his assumption is wrong after being called out would rather deflect and constructs his own strawman argument 🙄. God forbid someone answers a question. 6 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the consultation in EoD was specifically Korean with that being the culture they mainly pulled from, this was deliberate to give it a more unified theme compared to factions which was sort of a westernized mish mash of many eastern countries. That said we do get some Japanese stuff with bladesworn using Iaijutsu. Edited July 31, 2022 by Eekasqueak.7850 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said we do get some Japanese stuff with bladesworn using Iaijutsu. Indeed. In adition to Bladesworn Iajutsu we have: Katana Wakizashi Tanto Samurai And probably more Japanese references than I recall off the top of my head. The reality of the matter is that there are RL influences in GW2, but real world cultures are not included intact. Just bits and pieces of inspiration.

Ashantara.8731 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) WoW stole GW2's flying mounts (animations, mechanics), so "borrowing" from other games is common practice these days. 😉 Edited July 31, 2022 by Ashantara.8731 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeracK.3601 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 100% of big game studios use bought licenced assets to finish their worlds. Nothing special. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it was copied or not, who knows. Yes because every class and monster in game is a copy of other things, everything is a copy..

In response to the OP, quite frankly no, this doesn't look like plagiarism or asset theft. As others have mentioned the Koi Ying Yang is an older concept seen in more than a few Eastern themed series, hardly something Cyberpunk came up with themselves. Same goes for holograms. What looks like plagiarism or asset theft is Wows new Dragon mount, if we want to get technical.. Edited August 2, 2022 by Dante.1508 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
