Gop.8713 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Great idea but with all the required testing I'd say a waste of development hours, rather they worked on alliances ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donari.5237 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Apologies, and I know you are jesting, but please no. I love cats so I don't know why this particular cutesy bit of slang irritates me so much, but the substitution of "meow" for "now" seems infantile to me. It isn't, the people using it aren't idiots, this is purely subjective, but whenever I see it my gut reaction is to discount whatever the person was saying and back away from talking to them. I really don't want it creeping into canon Tyria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want the game to use a vernacular you hear from children. I can maybe see it reworked as an in-character line from an NPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
