They *really* need to think about the words that are put into the character's mouths. It's just so... Unbelievably bad. "What? No! ... We have to fix this!". Who wrote that rubbish? There are dead bodies littered on the ground and Braham talks about "fixing" that. What are they going to do, give the corpses a wee tune up? Good as new!

The entire trailer had really dire voice acting and dialogue seemingly written by children brought up watching nothing but endless Hollywood blockbuster trailers. I've been playing PoF and it's almost heart breaking to watch such amazing environment and creature design get so completely and utterly squandered by the poor voice acting and writing.

Pretty much any profession can, eventually. The problem is some champs have a despawn timer that makes it rather hard to bring them down while also avoiding lethal damage.

Holes? That was what bothered you about *that* instance OP? Good Lord. I was triggered by the freaking stairs that SPIRAL INTO THE WALL, and the invisible walls *everywhere*, and by just how awful a character Kasmir is, and by how pointless talking to Komir was, and by just hos generally bland the story is.

The sandy bit with the puzzle was neat though.

I didn't realise people actually still played with right-click to turn camera. OP you gotta look around more often! However, you did still win (at least in that first video) so his tactics didn't exactly work out.

Yeah what the hell, the damage on e.g. Precision Strike is more or less halved in spvp according to gw2skills, hundred blades on the other hand is like 80% effective. Trolol. Rev OP!

Honest question, as I haven't done spvp for a while (i prefer wvw and fractals) - how do the other professions stack up? Like if you play a Warrior in WvW/PvE, does it also feel much weaker in spvp?

There are no "classes" in Guild Wars 2, OP. Now *Professions* on the other hand might be more what you're after. Is that what you meant?

Sure as long as they also add the ability for the client to show all mounts not summoned by you in their default skins.

I did the Roller Beetle race under 1 min without drifting too... Took an evening. I didn't realise you could drift until afterward ;P I love the Mad King events, they are all fun for the sake of it, although that racing scarf really is neat when you combine it with the Polysaturating Infusions.

Clock tower is easy, I've done it first time each time for the last couple of years. It's not a thing to be farmed imo, not everything should pile loot boxes on top of you for every half hour of play. Some things you do for the actual fun or challenge of it, you know?

Even Cthulu looks over its shoulder in the Mad King's Labyrinth.

Steve nearly got me a couple nights ago. Ha ha good one, Steve. I had to throw myself off the map edge to get away after the Mad King dropped me off my glider right into Steve's lap.

Less trollishly latency is usually a physical issue, barring faulty hardware. Your high latency is probably due to the increased distance between your PC and the servers, so there's not a lot you can do about it. What's your internet connection quality generally like? There's always the possibility that you have a bad wifi signal or crappy cable. I had an issue with my ISP having a constantly low signal down the line in my new house, they kept insisting there wasn't a problem but then most of the city started experiences outages. If you open a console window (windows and R, then type cmd) and type "ping -t www.google.com" what is the latency reported back?

The solution is simple - move back to the EU.

One of my other favourite games - Elite Dangerous just added a major new UI feature to enable the use of an in-game shop linked to microtransactions. The result was similar - horrendous bugs touching all aspects of game play. I do not understand how a UI can be designed so poorly that it affects other elements of a game that should be protected. For instance, how on Earth should a build template system be able to strip enchants?

Making them salvageable was one of the reasons they were added to the game in the first place...

Yes $$ is what keeps the lights on. It will be interesting to see if any more expansions get put together, or if LW is the way to go again like they tried after retail release. I'd love another expansion but it may not be financially feasible.

It's not the quantity of the people around you though mate, is it? It's the *quality*.

Hi ladies and gents at Arena Net. As a long time player of GW2 and a fan of your work (especially zone/level design) I just wanted to say cheers, your game is quite good and now that you are giving HoT away perhaps I can convince some IRL friends to give it a go. Here's to 7 (I think?) more years of a good game.

And by Britney you of course mean System of a Down.

Toxic toxicity is toxically toxic. Toxic toxicington, toxicity and toxicality. Toxic.

That word OP, I don't think you and many others think it means what it really means.

Perhaps because all but one of his skills are about control and... Gee. I don't know, defence?

How about you explain why you are unwilling to accept the rather obvious.

That's basically true for most of the dialogue. It makes little sense and people - sentient, intelligent creatures, just wouldn't act the way they do in the game. A case in point - the sheer childishness of many of the characters, Destiny's Edge's squabbles, the commander (player) indulging their every flight of fancy instead of putting their foot down like a commander would, etc. I get the feeling that whoever writes the dialogue at ANet perhaps lacks the required life experience to really explore the interactions and ideas that the game sets out for its characters. It's almost like a cheap fanfic, instead of the fleshed out novel the world's set pieces demand.

I like this thread. Nearly every negative creature / dialog event listed here had the exact opposite effect on me. I find the story to be a little hum drum at times, and some of the more morally bereft moments are a joy to behold.

As for negative moments for *me*, basically any time any NPC speaks who isn't Canach or Rytlock. That goes double for Taimi.

We're getting Skritt as a playable race now? Finally! I'm jacked!
