I kinda hope Kralkatorrik dies off-screen when a random charr realizes "oh yea, we have Searing Cauldrons."

You'd have one charr go "No, flame legion bad!", an asura being fascinated by the idea while spouting magicbabble, a norn being frustrated because they can't hit things, a sylvari who is still the main character of the story for no reason, and finally a human who is just there. Take your picks on which character represents what race, and add a healthy dose of bland.

thanks alot assbag posted:Canach is the main character for good reason. He's the best new character they introduced since core game. But then again he's voiced by John DiMaggio, which makes it double awesome. Top3 contender with Tybalt and the conspiracy hobo in Lion's Arch.

No. Also given that HoT took 3 years to come out post release, and the fact that living story 3 is the thing they're hyping now...you'll be waiting a while.

Attestant posted:This would be a bit too nuanced to be GW2 writing. Honestly, if they wanted to get a little lazy with having the players fight literally every dragon, they could have Flame Legion or the Inquest kill off Kralk/Primordus. Then have some related political shenanigans happen in the background as they released Living Story updates (Flame trying to reintegrate into the legions, Inquest trying to usurp the college structure, whatever).

Killing every dragon in turn while the others just wait for theirs will get kinda boring, if it isn't already. I hope there's some kind of twist to this plot eventually. (we could even go Chrono Cross and have the dragons merge into a Dragon God and hopefully find out that Taimi was the mysterious 7th dragon.) Although I'm the kind of player who doesn't really care about the plot as much as exploring the world. Can't say I'm not hyped for when the game eventually (at this rate sometime in the year 2025) moves to Crystal desert and we may see Palawa Joko again. edit: some ANet guy talks in Reddit about why they removed the human female idle animations: https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/4spdd5/human_female_idle_animations/d5bet8e quote:LOL That's rich. No they most definitely weren't removed for being sexist. They were removed because every time we went into a review of serious story content and you're supposed to be having really weighty conversations about Tyria-shaking, monumental decisions you and your team were making...oops, is this boring? Why am I yawning, and kicking the ground like I'd rather be ANYWHERE else? It happened so often that the only real way to address that feedback was to pull them out, because unfortunately our tools don't provide us designers with a way to throttle back only specific animations. Yawning is the appropriate response to many of the GW2 story discussions though. Also the feeling that I'd rather be anywhere else. He captured my sentiments perfectly.

AnacondaHL posted:Do you have the 33% cooldown reduction and the 2 second Fire field extension traits? Staff Elementalist is one of the exceptions in this game, where your most consistent source of spammable damage is not Autoattack, it's actually Lava Font (assuming your enemy stays in the field). I don't have any traits, I don't think I understand the system.

The human female idle animations were actually commentary on how loving boring human females are because 90% of the game is the same goddamn human females in boob armor.

The real issue, I think, is that you don't get any say over your team. If we really had the clout that the story tells us we do, we'd have control over who was working under us. At least a little. I understand the technical limitations for why it is the way it is, but drat is it frustrating. Like, even if we could help them work out some of their garbage if we wanted and be more of a cohesive team, that'd be great. Make it a drat quest or something. Hell, make ALL OF LS3 ABOUT SORTING OUT, ONCE AND FOR ALL, NO-TAKE-BACKS, all of the problems your team mates have, and then be done with it. Logan, a coward? Nope, he's won back his honor thanks to you, {PlayerName}! Taimi super-genius can't do the obvious thing because she's a kid or something? Nope, everyone knows she's capable now, since you published her thesis, {PlayerName}! Eirsson is afraid to do a thing because someone might die? Nope, he's earned his confidence thanks to you escorting him on a spirit quest or some poo poo. Thanks, {PlayerName}! Just get it all out. Done.

Well both elder dragons we fought died like punks to plot convenient story wrap ups. It turns out we had this super powerful airship that could just blow Zhaitan out of the sky all along, and somehow even though we arrived right on Mordremoth's front step without any sort plan in place at all Trahearne was there to magic us into the dream realm where we could figuratively fight Mordremoth's illusions which results in him literally dying somehow. So Kralkatorrik just dying off screen to a searing cauldron would absolutely be par for the course.

It's funny because HoT established every elder dragon has a "unique weakness" but Mordremoth's was going into his mind to fight him... which is literally what they used on Kralkatorrik and nearly killed him with years ago in the book. They just retconned this poo poo already.

Yeah I think anet would be really stupid to go the way of "one dragon per expansion pack! wow!" I mean they already have introduced "ley magic" which, since it's poorly defined and can do whatever it wants, might as well just be used to combine all the remaining dragons into one. THAT would be more interesting then just beating up Kralkatorrik in the next one. We've killed two already, so killing one more doesn't seem like a problem anymore!

Logan gets increasingly pissy and bails on missions with shittier and shittier excuses until no one invites him anymore. Braham is getting his confidence back, but then fucks up majorly and gets Taimi or someone killed and it's all very tragic and anyway maybe it's time you retired, big guy. Rox finally gets to be in a warband and is too busy doing important cat poo poo to go on missions. Rytlock opens up a Ritualist school and it takes up most of his time. Just get rid of Destiny's Edge and babbies altogether and shoot poo poo with Canach and maybe Countess Anise and that charr from the norn blackout storyline and other characters with their poo poo together.

Hmm, yeah. They are all kinda far gone, huh? Might as well just burn that poo poo to the ground. I do like your ideas, though. Rylock mellowing the gently caress out now that he knows, at least a little bit, what lies beyond death's door might be a really kickass storyline. Starting a dojo to pass on his knowledge would explain how there's so many freakin' revenants around now.
