Xperiment.6923 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Over 4th of July I was finally able to finish HoT story so that puts me on LW3? Anyways cant remember her doing much of anything so far. Is it just Felicia Day simping? I was trying to do story in order, so does she get better as a character? I feel nothing when she talks. 12 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) you only really get to know zojja if you do the asura personal stories (all variants), and play the story dungeons as well. i think players mostly just like her because she's a half-decent asura whereas most asura are arrogant and snooty at least, and cruel at worst. independant from her voice actor, the destiny's edge novel explores the character more in-depth.

Jobber.6348 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) 1. Was the OG Asuran representative in the MC's group and eventually when the MC was invited to join Destiny's Edge themselves, a Guild member. She's also the Asuran MC's mentor of sorts before the Order mentor took over. 2. She has a deeper backstory than most other characters due to Edge of Destiny novel. 3. Awesome voice work. I miss Felicia every Day. Pun intended. But real talk, I think there are more Taimi fans than Zojja fans these days. Taimi has had alot of time to grow as a character, which does make people miss Zojja even more because while Logan eventually returned to the spotlight and offered to take over Pact Commander duties from the MC, Zojja's fate was left relatively loose and that rubbed alot of people the wrong way.

Fueki.4753 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Different people like different celebrities in reality. Different people like to eat different types of food. Different people like different colours. Different people like different characters in movies/other media. That's all there is to it. 6 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 It’s a connection to the book and the early years of the game. People lamented not continuing the Destiny’s Edge story after Zhaitan and instead having to start with new NPCs 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, after HoT she is never mentioned again. The issue you have with not being able to really relate to her is the same other people will feel about destiny's edge members other than their racial "mentor". They just don't get a lot of screentime if you don't play their race but on the other hand, if you play their race, you'll be interacting with them quite a lot. People mostly got disappointed that while all other racial mentors stay relevant (Caithe, Logan, Rytlock, Eir not really tbh but at least she's featured in HoT in significant capacity at all) while Zojja just got completely sidelined for no perceivable reason. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xperiment.6923 Posted July 6, 2023 Author Share Posted July 6, 2023 Thanks I was wondering about the Zojja hype for SoTA. I've definitely grew fond of Taimi. Even playing Asura Storyline Taimi is the only one that has had an impact for me. Glad to hear Eir still make an appearance after HoT. I really enjoyed her, she felt Sincere, Wise, Motherly...I wouldn't have wasted her like that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAHNeunzehnsechundsiebzig. Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I did not like Zojja in the book. I did not like Zojja during personal story. I found her insufferable in dungeons and I would not mind if she'd died quietly off screen never to be seen&heard off. But then I also never cared about Felicia Day. So maybe that might be the reason why I do not care about that particular npc. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solvar.7953 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I didn't find any of the characters from the original story (Rytlock, Logan, Caithe, etc) very interesting. Maybe it was just the very basic trope of 'you need to re-unite this group of adventurers', though most of the time I was thinking that they were not really useful, fairly whiny (we're trying to save the world here!) and really didn't seem necessary - the commander seems to be doing fine without them. To me, there has been a general shortage of likable characters in GW2 (not to say there are not any, but they are rare occurance) 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zola.6197 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 You should look up some of the fan art. Some people REALLY like her. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farohna.6247 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 If you just play the game, as a non asura, and don't read any books, etc ...Zojja is largely forgettable, imo. It feels more like Felicia Day fandom who keep dreaming of the return. Most people outside of gaming and web series viewers have no clue who she is (no disrespect, have enjoyed her creativity for many years now, but it's kind of niche). Leaving the character mysteriously open ended only fueled the fire. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashantara.8731 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I don't particularly "like" Zojja. I found her extremely arrogant and/or annoying on several occasions, and when faced with the choice to save her or Logan, I didn't have to think twice on any of my characters 😁, except one, because I wanted to see if saving her would make for a different outcome (which it didn't, of course). But, like many, I have been curious about her whereabouts and health status, so I am happy to see that addressed at long last.🙂 5 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get the hype around the character either. In the book, she is a potent Elementalist, and apprentice of Snaff. In the game, she is an arrogant annoyance, that should be our mentor, but instead she goes "but Snaffs legacy this and that...". And her abilities are so badly represented in game, that most of the people make the error of thinking that she is an Engineer, because she has a golem. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowmoon.7986 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Because she has not been ruined by the story tellers because she was been ignored. Its the whole mysterbox thing, people want what they do not have. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anninke.7469 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I don't particularly care about Zojja, however... since she seems to be back from the Pits of Oblivion, the real question (for me, anyway) is: Malyck when? 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taim's story seems pretty much over for now, so I wouldn't be surprised if she took time off (similar to Rytlock and Braham after IBS) and Zojja replaced her, at least temporarily.
