Based on the concept art we've seen for EoD, it would appear that Kurzick culture has survived, or re-emerged, since the Empire's takeover. Here's a link to the art piece I'm referencing. Those are DEFINATELY Kurzick buildings. https://media.altchar.com/prod/images/940_530/gm-6bc6bb2d-1336-4e9e-b7c0-bb031a4d0344-kurzicks.jpg

I'm not sure why people would have an issue with this. Crecia is a charr, and a charr from Blood Legion at that. The charr are trained to shut up their emotions and do what's best for the military--to function like a well-oiled machine. Of course Crecia, as someone from that culture, is going to scoff at the humans' emotions getting in the way of them surviving a battle. Blood Legion culture is even more extreme in this direction--their soldiers have less patience and shorter tempers on average. Honestly, for Blood Legion, Crecia is **incredibly** restrained and level headed (probably traits she learned during her childhood years in Flame Legion)--but she's still a Charr soldier, and should still be portrayed as such. I also don't see the connection being made between Crecia acting judgmental = Anet is judgmental. Crecia and the Ascalonians are characters in the story Anet is writing... their goal is to portray believable characters within the world they've established, not "judge" a segment of those characters as if they were real people against whom there is a grudge.

Icebrood Saga started out REALLY promising--the Prologue was the absolute best episode IMO. The episode immediately after when we first go to Bjora, and the interlude where we got to join Ryland's warband were also good. Everything else has been average to below-average.

"A lack of good major male characters" Uhh, hate to burst your bubble but we have..... Braham, Ryland, Rytlock, Bangar, Gorrik, Canach, Logan, Lord Faren, and Efram.... 9 major male characters I can think of off the top of my head. If you argue that "well, all those guys SUCK," it makes no difference--that is your subjective opinion. The fact is, there is plenty of representation of male characters from all races and of all personality types. "I want male characters that I PERSONALLY LIKE" is a valid want. However, your dislike of the current male cast doesn't mean there isn't enough/equal male representation.

No, but the LORE of the GAME dictates the rules of resurrection, and that is where Konig is getting his explanation.

Yeah I recently started having the same issues.

This has been happening to me for the past 2 weeks. The game is completely unplayable. Nothing has changed on my end--same computer, same router, ect. I went through all the troubleshooting suggestions for error 7's suggested by arenanet, and nothing helped. When I first log in, I can get about 3 minutes of lag-free playtime. Then suddenly, the game just stops and I'm disconnected. If I'm SUPER DUPER lucky, I can get 10 minutes before the disconnects... but once it happens the first time, it's impossible to log back in for the next hour or so--I disconnect as soon as the map loads. And after that hour, it's the same... I can log in for 3 minutes until disconnect.

The end rewards are a bore. I don't care about a silly emote. I almost never emote, and when I do it's basic stuff like laugh, cross arms, sit, sleep. There is absolutely zero appeal in unlocking a new emote for me. If you want me to grind metas, offer a unique armor skin (the bear and raven armors are nice), mount skin, ect. Even a title.
