Archranis.2375 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 There are lots of posts critical about the new expansion, so I wanted to make one on a positive note. The Choya Stampede event isn't challenging, it's not part of an event chain, it doesn't take more than a couple minutes to complete, and it's pretty mindless. But it's FUN. It's a silly idea, but for some reason, it's one of my favorite things to do in the map. I'm still laughing at it. So, props to whoever designed this and decided to put something that's just a bit silly among all the other stuff. What a great contrast to the bounties. I'd like to see this juxtaposition continued in future episodes (to a degree, not overdone on the silly side). The combination of the Choya Stampede and bounties, for example, is a great way to have "something for everyone" in the same place -- killing a rush of Choyas when you're in a casual mindset, and bounties when you want something more structured/intense.

Menadena.7482 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I agree. While it is another 'kill this mob before x' event it is HILARIOUS when the mob is a bunch of different colored watermelons instead of shambling undead or something.

Lambent.6375 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I like to imagine the reason for their stampede is that watermelon in the market alley they stampede through, and that chopped up Choya in the chef's kitchen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 It is in someways the most bloodthirsty event in the game. I mean, anything else you defeat just fades away, but Choya you slice into pieces meaning you know they are dead for good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abelisk.4527 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Also props to the Troupe Heart in Vabbi! The parts where you have to fix the way people talked was hilarious! "I love Lumo? I have to marry him?" XD Probably my favorite heart ever. One of the only times I had fun doing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrlyFactor.8341 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Choya are the best thing to happen to this game since the Skritt. <3 "You helped Choya for some reason." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The earnest, if overacted, fear in those lines help sell the event. That and my AoE toons love being able to cut loose and lay waste to the landscape.

seabhac.5346 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Totally agree! ANET made these little buggers fun! I've lived in AZ (was once a native there), and the fear of those other cholla is not fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are misinterpreting things. =) The desert region is suffering from drought, so hydrous water melons are vital for people's survival! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theocraft.6053 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 choya, just like skritt, are in my opinion a healthy reminder that this is just a game and we are supposed to have fun, not look too closely at everything looking for some common sense and God forbid - not argue (or insult) in-game with each other :) this is really a fine game, one of the best MMOs out there, enjoy guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was incorrect about which vendor had stuff that looked like Choya - the vase merchants are fine, it's the farmer from Queensdale who may be triggering the Choya attacks. His stall has visible watermelons/pink-shelled melons that look very much like pink Choya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
