ChampionMasquerade.5283

I know I'm probably in the minority here, but I like not knowing until soon before release. That way I don't have to wait anxiously for a long time

Marriage is under holy matrimony, and we all know how charr feel about gods. > Where do you get holy matrimony from? It has nothing to do with gods. It's a Christian description of marriage. Are Charr Christians? Does it even exist in Tyria? > > Should we expect the Holy Inquisition to come out of an Asura gate and start preaching Christian values? > > Pretty sure the scenario would be as follows: > Holy Inquisition: "HEATHEN SORCERY!!!" > Elementalist: "Duh" **casts meteor shower** As an Elementalist I think an Overload Air would end that better

> @"Mortifera.6138" said: > Why do charr even have a wedding outfit? Marriage is under holy matrimony, and we all know how charr feel about gods. Different world, different wedding ceremonies. Plus that's not the only style of wedding in our world.

> @"Khisanth.2948" said: > If you think charr getting married is weird then what about sylvari? They are all siblings... I have thought about that. Though in their case I'm not sure if they're actually considered family. They do call the Pale Tree mother, but it seems more like a title. (I know the Pale Tree technically birthed them, but they are plants.)

However it's probably not common, and most of them are unnamed NPCs (Some are same sex - the couple timidly visiting the Four Winds Festival comes to mind) since I can't imagine marriage (or any long-term intimacy) is a big deal in such a warband-warcentric society like theirs. The Olmakhan seem more suited to things like intimate bonding and marital ceremonies, but they're quite different from Legion Charr and it'd be nice to see more of what their customs are like. > > Legion Charr seem to take mates and bond like any of the other races (Crecia/Rytlock), but those relationships are tamped down a bit by the whole 'bring your kid to fahrar at age 1 and backflip back into the battlefield' practice they've employed since GW1. They get together, they have kids, but their families are more artificial and their relationships with one another are overridden by their loyalty to the Legions. Makes sense. I wonder if the outfit was meant be Olmakhan in nature then. It does seem to fit their style.

I do Dragon Stand all the time, I don’t see how god dead at all

I’m pretty sure they do this on purpose to hide rare skins as a surprise. I’m guessing there’s a list of them out there, and you can put the I’d in chat to preview them

Gift received, thank you for helping make my day Santa Charr (It said up top Santa Charr would be available for photos, is there a specific time schedule?)

Gotcha, thanks for telling me (though if it was a big I think it’s be fixed by now, it’s been a thing for at least seven months)

I wanna make clear that I don’t wanna change the way they run permanently, I just wasn’t sure of it was an option or not

> @"Dantert.1803" said: > I'm bringing up the topic yet again! > We had the idea enstablished in Gw1 that even though you are not a norn you could use the effects of the animal forms of the norns in Eye of the North, so why shouldn't we have that in Gw2? > The pros of this would be many! The racial skills would be open to everybody and that would mean that they could receive a boost to make them more valuable. > Also if you attach a mastery for each race racial skills you could have content that pushes people to re explore the older maps. > What I mean by that is that if each mastery for the racial skills is active only in the starting zones of each race and getting xp in those areas progresses the mastery we could have a lot of push to unlock new stuff in an easy way. > No missions are needed, just a mail from an expert saying that now we could explore other races skills to be closer to each other or corny stuff like that and mastery traks that activate during the time you are in the starting zones. > Everybody gets new skills, we get new content, we get an excuse to explore for a second time the old maps, it's easier than adding totally new content , everybody is happy! > Oh and those racial skills if boosted could change the meta builds, so that also is good for build crafting. > Come on Anet pleaaaase??? > Aside from the reasons others have stated, few would make sense on another character. For example, Sylvari don't have a warband they can call for assistance

I can do it on a few jumping puzzles but man do I get frustrated. > > Try doing the coddler's cove jp with charr. Especially with the quaggan singing in the background "cooo a crabcake just for you" XD I actually did that, but it was not fun

Thanks for your spirit!! > > Soon or later you'll never want to stop playing a Charr. Unless you start doing JP (jumping puzzles) with a Charr........ it's bad. Santa Charr doesn't like JP that's why his helper is always doing the Wintersday JP. That little rascal loves the Wintersday JP. > > Thank you. Charr based jump puzzled are truly an art form few can master

Greetings fellow Charr! This is a great thing to do, and hopefully it'll bring the high legions back together after the whole fiasco earlier in the year. My respect goes out to you

> @"Leo.3428" said: > That's weird. I would first try rebinding the keys just to check if anything changes. > Do you have auto-run bound to any key? Auto-run works only forward I think but one never knows. I’m sorry, I didn’t see this earlier, but nope, I don’t have auto run on.

The Player's charr is also the one with the most success in their missions where the other two Charrs of the other origins not chosen either died during or right before their final mission in the Origin story or became adventures after due to not becoming noticed by the Orders. > > It is the same for the Order path story. The Commander's Order story and Order mentor are the one who reach the Claw Island while the other two Order Mentors still went through their own Order story but never made it to Claw Island due to being killed by the Orrian Scout. Also our Order mentor only made it to Claw Island because they had the Commander with them. > > It is like with Dragon Age Origins "warden" where all Origin story did happen but only the Player's chosen Warden live past their origins. I agree mostly, but I think Yahuk’s journal specifically states his old legionnaire either slayed three elder dragons, or was bonded with Aurene,.

It’s expected that it’s the Charr Commander. I’m now imagining several different people in The Departing Path of Fire story truthfully claiming to be the Commander

Got it, but do the journals still show up for non Charr?

> @"Swing.6439" said: > In the meta at Wolf's Crossing you canonically kill them. Every single time. Dang that's harsh, honestly it feels kinda unneeded but what can I do

> @"Donari.5237" said: > I've spent a little while at the cultural vendors and at the bank wardrobe with a male charr. I can't find anything like that, though I have not examined every single light or medium helm, shoulders, or chest. It could be any of those. I looked at him in Grothmar so I could get a side view instead of the full frontal in the wiki and it really could be any. It is a wrapping of cloth or leather that comes up over the back of his neck, forms a high pectoral, and has two dangling bits to make the "scarf" effect. > > Sorry, you'll have to spend your own time in the Wardrobe to rule out the possibilities. It could just be an NPC look that players can't get. (I checked the medium weights too because NPC's don't follow the same rules in what their profession can wear). It could be unique to Efram since he's a major character. Dang, but thank you for going through all the effort! I really appreciate it.
