gonna watch this cause the idea of a 3d model of my character is epic

> While the non-human races are original and creative, I definitely understand the point that they are hard to look at. The art for female sylvari and asura tends to always make them look way more attractive or cute than is possible in game. Charr do their own thing, and do it well, but suffer from problems that all non human races do.
>
> Caithe looks great in most artwork of her and is presented as having far more human characteristics than she does in her actual character model. Concept art seems to ignore just how plant like sylvari are. In game female faces are cringey for the most part, the males admittedly doing much better. It's a cool art direction and one I can respect, but whether it was intentional or not, they sure aren't "pretty." Armor and outfits don't work as well as they do on human models and are inconsistent in how much they seem to soften body features.
>
> The asura pictures above (and everywhere else for that matter) cutesy them up as much as possible. The only two feminine looking outfits are shown in screenshots, since the rest look pretty awful and just drape over them. Pointed teeth are ignored and faces are caught in the best possible moment of an expression. In reality, they're weird little rodent-alien looking things with pointy teeth. They can have an element of cuteness, but by design they're basically objectively ugly. Taimi is cute because of her personality, and maybe that little bow helps, but by human standards she at best has that ugly-but-cute thing going that you see in certain pets. I love the personality and voice acting for them, which hurts because the fashion wars element is basically impossible as an asura. You find one of the few outfits that looks okay and that's it, you're done. Everything else just looks bland and androgynous, if you can even notice on the tiny character model to begin with.

> Charr aren't attractive, or meant to be, and it works. They look tough, cool, and the bestial aspect is done incredibly well. A lot of armor stretches on them in a weird way because it seems to be modeled for humans first and then adapted as well as it can for other races.
ok you got a point about the outfits for asura
but for the face, you can make them cute by choosing the smoothest face, and lowering mouth width to its lowest setting. as well as making chin as big as possible.
like so

> **The Grove**- I think it's unlikely. I wonder: what if Sylvari are immune to be Awakened?- as far I didn't see any Awakened Sylvari, also I didn't see any awakened charr etc, but we know Human and Asura can be Awakened. It's just 'what if', but that would be very interesting.
> **Black Citadel**- it's likely, because charr are the military race, and taking control over so many weapons' ideas and tactics would be disasterous for us.
> **Hoelbrak**- also likely, but I think this city is not Joko's target, if we look at Asura or Charr secrets etc, Norn have less to give.
> **Rata Sum**- very, very likely. If Joko takes Rata Sum, then he has the open way to Rata Novus, and we know how many secrets are there.
> **Lion's Arch**- unlikely, this city is very well defended, also a lot of free spaces are good for us, because we can easily kill the enemies, and a lot of cannons etc around the city will just shank every enemy. If other cities fall, LA will stand still.
> **Divinity's Reach**- with the huge powers of Jennah, its very unlikely this city will fall. She and her army is very good, and they don't kneel before any enemy. Also we got the battle for Lake Doric/Divinity's Reach few months ago, and I thinjk it's not Joko's major target.

it would be interesting
grove: i agree with ya that its unlikely
if they go for the black citadel though...oh god its going to be a SLAUGHTER. Charr's version of Christmas.
as for if the charr would win. no idea, but they would put up one hell of a fight.
Hoelbrak: na...this city is being reserved for when braham pisses off jormag and faces the consequences of being an emo know it all as he watches his mindless headfirst charge costing the people he thinks he's fighting for their city.
rata sum: it seems likely, as inquest tech, sure to be a few portals. and asura wouldn't put up much of a fight like divity's reach or the black citadel.
however, asura seem to love making their labs away from rata sum, so taking the city would likely net Joko minimal assets. as he'd have to push out into tyria ot start finding all the individual labs.
divinity's reach: it would be epic to see this go through an actual siege. like it was made for.
and Joko being human once, would have a bit of irony to it. plus divinity's reach has the military to make for a good fight, without the utter nightmare the charr would make it.
plus the city is large enough.....but the advantage? not much outside of just more....human zombies....
so i think its probably going to be Joko going for Ascalon, not realizing the charr have set up base there. Joko being caught a bit off guard at the change in its inhabitants. but continuing the assault. and seeing the black citadel truely at war (and see why the iron legion are so proud of it)

> What happens when you de select auto targeting?
huh?
by autotargetting i mean you press attack without selecting an opponent,
edit: oh there is an option....its not good. it just makes it so you miss more as you don't see what you attacking unless it so happens ot be in front of you.. not ideal
-
Can we make it so walls are not auto targetable unless you manually click them?
considering, unless your on siege weapons, you can't hurt walls. its extremely annoying as a ranged character to have the game constantly go "oh your shooting a bow or rifle. here shoot the wall your standing on. not the enemy whose bashing your head in with a hammer"
just a small change that would really help

> Sadly, if you read that thread right now, evidently people are supposed to use a stunbreaker and then dodge the follow up damage after being hit from stealth for ~15K damage (thus avoiding a total of 25K damage). If you can't do that, then it's a l2p issue evidently.
ok and thats backstab, not a deadeye issue. cause thats just thief in general.
deadeye needs to wait for malice to get full. which (if your not attacking) will take ~20 secounds. during which time the thief will need to remain stealthed, close to the target.
meanwhile the target has 20 secounds to notice the red orb over their head, and either move away, get block rdy, get evade rdy, or some other form of defense.
and the target will know when malice is full cause the red orb will change to a very bright flashy orb. that is basicalyl saying "INCOMING"
or just have soem toughness in their build so they aren't a glass cannon.

Many suggestions would outright destroy scourge, which would make many people happy. But something has to change. I agree adding cast times and animations to the F skills would go a long way. I also personally don’t like the corruption mechanic. I think boon stripping as opposed to corruption is a lot better mechanic.

thing is, scourge isn't the only problem
Mesmer can get some pretty insane confusion stacks.
and the condition thing in general shows theres a hole in the game, where theres no counter to condi spam. so even if we fix just scourge and mesmer, any future classes or builds that are heavy condi (and rangers got potential in the future if it gets a propper condi weapon), then we'd have this same issue all over again.
the better idea is to address the issue now to avoid the future repeat.

which is why i said a little used stat. if you go for that stat, you'll have to give up toughness ,vit, power, or condition.
healing power isn't very forgiving in what stat combos it has

just make it so some stat like healing power (so little used) reduces condition dmg like armor does.
or a stat like expertise (i'd say toughness...but that might be a bit overkill....not sure up for debate)
and the 2nd chance, nerf the skills that turn boons into torment and cripple, from 10 sec torment, down to (lets say 20% to 30% to be conservative) as most builds for it focus on maximizing the condition time and dmg. so reducing the base time wont destroy the skill, but it will cool it down.
or we could focus on giving more condition cleanse skills to classes that lack them (ironically....including necro)

how long will it take for a single ranger to kill a scourge thats in a zerg, and which benefits from zerg heals. (not to mention shots beign obstructed, or hitting wrong enemy)
and good luck targeting a single scourge in a zerg. its called a zerg for a reason.
and if you've done wvw. you'll know why people spam AoES rather than single target.

if they just stay there. and its 1 on 1. sure.
but be realistic. in a fight, they going to try to get to you. and use terrain or ranged skills with cripple or immoblize to do it.

ok lets see
first off, for that dmg.
1. your low toughness/armor
2. they were allowed to get deadeye's mark to full charge (Aka you were marked and didn't do something like run away, or use a stealth trap. and so you sat there while they kept their initative at full)
3. you didn't evade when the telltale red marker light appeared for half a secound before the first attack
4. you didn't evade when the telltale red marker light appeared for half a secound before the 2nd attack
5. you didn't use any kind of block or evade
6. you didn't use a stun/daze/fear/knockdown/knockback/blind
7. you didn't use any AoE to find the stealthed thief that you know is there because you have a mark above your head slowly charging (WHICH YOU CAN SEE)
8. when deadeye mark changed from a dull red orb to a brightly flashing red *DO SOMETHING LIKE PANIC* orb, you didn't evade like the warning light told you.
in summary, congratz. you sat in the middle of the railroad tracks.
you saw the train light coming, you heard it coming, you saw the light get brighter and brighter.
and you just sat there as it not only hit you once. but hit you a 2nd time as well.
i can't w8 till you tell us about when a Mesmer 1 shots you with mindwrack.

It is a filtered perspective that can often be logically untangled, but sometimes not. This one-sided view also influences one's interaction with the living story. Unfortunately, the books are gone from libraries, and their reviews are not stellar. Since I would never advocate pirating from a company on their official forum, I'd like the opinion of those who have read the novels before I buy.

1.Sea of Sorrows is easily my favorite. its the story of the creation of the lions arch we know after zaitan's rise.
2. not really cause we went for air ships in game, and not regular ships. plus magic backfires if done poorly in the book.
3. oh BIG TIME. specially when you consider what lions arch (pre scarlet) could do. the lore behind how and why it was made the way it was. as well as politics between it, Divinity's reach, and Rata Sum.
4. generally....no. this happened a LONG TIME before GW2. and so is fairly immune to changes in GW2. as so much time has passed.
5. see 4
6. .........fk.... i can't choose a favorite.
see i ADORE Macha. she's spunky and epic...and will take you for a ride of feels.
but Coby is also a pretty epic character. not afraid to wrestle a charr, or fire a cannon onto his own ship. keep in mind he's the guy who BUILT lions arch as we know it.
then theres also the Char engineer, Sykox who invented the ship engine
the norn twins (a ship full of undead? just for me? YOU REMEMBERED MY BIRTHDAY. YAY)
or the other captains of the council.
worst.........ok look, its not a badly written character....its just one i dislike (and the book wants you to). Yomm....he's got his heart in the right place...but his actions always seem selfish. plus theres the Asura College rivalry (Statics vs Dynamics)
7. amazing writing in this. i'd place the story above the other 2. just a bit above ghost of ascalon. and LEAGUES ABOVE destiny's edge.
8. Sea of Sorrows and Ghost. yes
Destiny's edge.......meh na

yay!
also...can you PLEASE give Deadeye a source of stability?
for a class whose weapon (rifle) removes all mobility, its sad the class has no stability skills at all. specially with the knockdown spam.

Just be super focused for about 30s the mark is on you and dodge an attack on a 0.75s cast time. I mean that's a huge amount of time to react even if it's less than 0.5s because of Quickness. Everyone can do this. And there is even a sound. Come on - if there is a sound even noobs should react in 0.5s! How could anyone call this bad game design? Hell every competitive game should work exactly like this! 30 seconds mindgames, then oneshot (or just walk away - for the lols). Great!

most healthy class in game?
must be why Deadeye is all the rage in fractals, raids, wvw, and spvp
i mean...its not as if showing up as a deadeye gets you kicked from tier 3 or 4 fractals
laughed and kicked from raids
causes your team to rage quit at start of match in spvp
and asked to play "any other class" in wvw
even solo wvw, its weak.
keep in mind how easy it is to avoid ranged attacks.
blocks, reflects, evade, put a tree between you and them
also auto immunities also work to stop deadeye, as they rely on burst since their survivabiltiy is zip. and tend to run once int is gone.
but please, do show me a video where a deadeye 1 shots a marauder reaper through shroud. proove it (and i mean a video. not a screenshot of you in 0 armor)
Death's Jugement is a 1.65 dmg skill
plus 105% dmg (if you go for 7 malice)
guess what, thats not that great for a skill that takes a massive 21 secound set up time. loses all mobility, and can be defeated by any obsticle.

so yeah. deadeye is EPIC. /sarcasm
why is why EVERYONE REFUSES TO TAKE ONE. such epicness.
