It’s quite a come down from the high position and status he enjoyed as a secondborn (even if that status was never as high as he thought it should be), and his new, grimmer look is meant to reflect the psychological toll he’s had to pay as well as the physical one."_ > > Has there been anything else said relating to the topic from the official sources? Because a "concerted effort to change his look" may be interpreted as a plethora of things, and how much a sylvari is able to literally chisel their features into what they like goes back to the anatomy question from before. There's an NPC in The Grove wondering "How much should I grow?" to have enough foliage and be properly covered for interaction with other races. Edit: Or at least I thought she was there, but I can't find her... I'll try a bit more.

So. Much. This. Have any of the designers ever checked their creations from the side? I doubt it. Or maybe they do hate sylvari after all...

Well, my sylvari male revenant says "It most certainly has," or something like that while the chat log shows the line from wiki. I guess he's just that... special.

A way for rangers to pet their pets.

This is a great thread about my favorite GW2 crafting and it even has a dev reaction, holy kitten! Thanks for brightening my saturday morning. > @"Tekoneiric.6817" said: > Thanks for the very interesting response. I hope someone finds a place to put this in the wiki. > > I think a Tyrian cooking show online would be an interesting way to lure people to the game. Sort of a come for the food; stay for the adventure. Or maybe a Guild Chat episode? Please?

I'll just break the nice atmosphere here by sharing my elementalist's way of healing wounded stags. I'm sure my ranger main would not approve...

Baladazar had lyssa's mirror and was kind of crazed with vengeance over killing the dragons. What if what he meant when he said "they've dimmed my light" he was being metaphorical meaning they killed the person he loved Lyssa? :open_mouth: > > Regarding Jormag and lies, interestingly narrative director Tom Abernathy tweeted this a few months ago: > > > **Tom Abernathy:** Said it before and I’ll say it again: Jormag is 100% sincere in saying they love Tyria and want nothing more than to fortify and protect it. Jormag doesn’t lie. That’s part of their strength. [(Source)]( ) > > So if Jormag has not lied, or at least perceives its persuasive words as not lying, it makes Jormag's past interactions with mortals most interesting as we have to look at its words and actions from a new point of view. Then again, this revelation has not yet appeared in game where several characters still believe Jormag to be a liar, so it remains to be seen when and how it gets addressed. :) > But Jormag could still be lying about everything else but loving and protecting Tyria (is how I understand the quote).

> @"Yggranya.5201" said: > Solution: Stop paying exorbitant prices for VA, save a ridiculous fortune and use it to make a better game. > ... Hell no! While you're pretty much right with the rest of your post, getting rid of VA now is not gonna work. I don't want to go back to the weird you-don't-get-to-talk mess the LS2 was.

> @"Touchme.1097" said: > **I am sorry but I have to disagree with your flawed assumption** before Anet chooses to consider it canon for future references. > The commander has suffered serious burns, cut wounds and ultimately been skewered by a huge big greatsword wide enough to split the body in two, the reason why you see no such conditions on the commander's body is because this game is PEGI 12 and it's not supposed to be too graphic on gore and violence. This doesn't mean the commander's body was resurrecction-worthy as you assume. For instance we don't know which race or gender the commander belongs to in canon so it could perfectly be an asura and the body ending as badly as Vlast or a Norn with a 30 inch hole on his/her body. > ... As much as I like some of your points... Right back at you there. Do you have any relevant source of information about precise state of the commander's body to support your claims? After all, regardless of race the commander is quite a capable fighter and supposedly has a decent amout of magical support from their equipment, so the level of bodily damage is not as easy to guess as you seem to think. Also, please don't do the "you don't have the authority" thing just because someone says what you don't like. Of course Anet has the final word over their game, but I hope they don't overuse it at the cost of lore consistency (too much). And last but not least - please leave Trahearne alone, he's had his much-more-than-sufficient heap of kitten so the rest is well deserved.

Even the future diplomats and Trahearne, who would later be absent a lot, were still very unfamiliar with the world outside the Grove. > > So what on Tyria would have been so extremely urgent and important to send the two that far away that soon? If it was related to Mordremoth directly, there likely would have been a link to the Malyck story. Which was not there. Malyck was a surprise for everyone, including the Pale Tree. > Maybe something Mist-related? Or something about the cave with the seeds? > > Yes, I know, most likely it really was related to HoT and just one of the scrapped stories. But maybe not? Maybe they even came across Malyck's tree and somehow were behind his appearance in Brisban. And now, Laranthir is (on his way) there too on a mission of crucial importance for the Pale Tree and all sylvari and we'll eventually join him and learn more. /wild dreaming

> @"EdwinLi.1284" said: > Logan of course has experience in these things due to his former position as leader of the Seraph so he is fine with sitting behind a desk most of his workdays filling papers until a more direct action is needed. Or until he goes running errands for Jennah.

I've been wondering about them too. Maybe they host the "forgotten characters party" for all the others somewhere secret...

But the Twin Sisters are not that. As for swords, [Ancient Boreal Sword](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ancient_Boreal_Sword_Skin) is currently one of my favourites. And then stuff like [Claw of Execution](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Claw_of_Execution_(skin)) or [Privateer Wand](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Privateer_Scepter).

I don't care about more playable races but considering NPCs I'd like to have friendly harpies.
