When my sylvari character told Ogden that "his people" take care of their matters, I cringed. I AM OGDEN'S PEOPLE. I AM DURMAND PRIORY. MY CONCERN IS NOT JUST A DRAGON OR BALTHAZAR. My concern is my mother tree who was recently unconscious, no accounting has been done for the aftermath of Mordremoth on sylvari. I feel completely detached from my character background.

Agreed.

Especially since my main is a sylvari ranger who I roleplay as being a strict yet caring explorer who is going through PTSD from the Mordremoth events. Yet I couldn't see her doing or saying most of the things that your character is forced to do/say throughout the story.

Here's a tip for Arenanet's writers: Having your characters say a bunch of sassy quips does not automatically make them interesting or relatable.

I can't seem to find any walkthroughs for it ATM, and while I heard that there was one around Elona Reach, I can't seem to find them.

I've already crafted the Vision Crystal and have it in my inventory, and I need at least one more mastery point to unlock Canyon Jumper. Has anyone found the ghost priests around Crystal Oasis yet?

Just a genuine question. What warrior range weapon would you guys prefer in something like PVE?

Dagger will likely be useless because it has no defensive skill built in it, nor is it good in engage/ disengaging, and it also severely lack burst damage, and it's not a reliable weapon to spam condition on someone because it lacks pbaoe.

For PVE mode. And thanks for your reply.

I've already read the Sylvari immunity discussion, yet I'm still puzzled about the whole ordeal. If dragons like Kralk or Jormag (not Prim because he mainly makes his own) absorbed the power from Mord's body, does that mean that sylvari can now be corrupted by them? And rather, can actually hear them talking to their minions like they did with Mordremoth?

And from what I've seen in the first part of the POF story, the Herald asks your character to join Balth's army, even if you're a sylvari. If this means becoming a Forged, are sylvari capable of being corrupted by Balth's power or was the Herald lying her butt off?

Arenanet hasn't really explained this stuff well IMO. I hope, yet at the same time doubt, that the POF expansion will explain it. What's your thoughts?

I've run LB/GS for a long time, but after seeing all the praise the sword has been getting, and seeing as how Soulbeast gets released tomorrow, I'm thinking about changing.

What do you guys think?
