    Enjoy the Troll-Dancers in GW2

    A-Net is a prime examle of how developers listen to the feedback of their community and fulfil their wishes - Thank you <3

    Posted: 10 Nov 2021 12:31 AM PST

    I mean seriously, those last updates, the QoL-Updates and their communication, even goddamn marketing is on fire right now.

    We wanted Rugged Capes, Heels, being able to toggle trinkets, Charr Bikes - close enough, more down to earth skins and weapons (I love the new crossbow skin), an update to the engine and A-Net delivered. I also cannot wait for the upcoming tea chair because it's a fantastic idea and we might be able to sit down together with other players to drink tea.

    Seriously, I'm proud and thankful of being a part of the A-Net/GW2 Community.

    How big is Tyria IRL? - The last part of my hike through Tyria

    Posted: 10 Nov 2021 03:28 AM PST

    So a couple weeks ago I started a video series casually walking through Tyria, East to West, to get an idea of the scale of the world. I found that it was a great opportunity to talk about worldbuilding and game design stuff, because that's what my channel revolves around, as well as give you some fun facts about real world medieval times.

    So here is the last part of my journey with the final time and distance I walked.

    Please take yourselves some time, it's a 30 minute video!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSiJcYzZ754

    So far I received very positive feedback from you guys and I wanted to say thank you! :)

    If there is demand for it, I might revisit other areas in Tyria, but for now this is my last video on GW.

    I'm definitely gonna make more videos in this style on other games though, so thanks, guild wars, for giving me this idea.

    See ya in the mists

    Why Zafirah?

    Posted: 10 Nov 2021 05:25 AM PST

    Zafirah as a character never really made much sense to me. She left the plot as quickly as she came; appearing as a force to be reckoned with before never being seen again after Kralkatorrik fell. We never saw her in the Icebrood Saga, which is a shame as the Zhaishen led by her command would've made a great faction in the Dragon Response Missions.

    When we first met her, she was protecting Balthazar's sword, and we had a gruelling duel against her before the commander clicked and realised he saw her in a vision prior. I, myself, didnt initially understand this as I didn't see her in the cutscene. She joins our side and all of a sudden becomes a key character for the remainder of Season Four.

    She got her own short story along with Rytlock and Caithe. She also was there for the final standoff against Kralkatorrik, again with Rytlock and Caithe. But she always felt out of place to me with both of these circumstances.

    Let me reintroduce Logan.

    Rytlock, Caithe and Logan are the last members of Destiny's Edge. With Eir being killed in Heart of Thorns, Snaff being killed before the events of the base game, and Zojja written off and never to be seen thus far. So to me, Rytlock, Caithe and Logan are sort of the three last remnants of a world before Dragons Watch was born.

    A point to make here is their new looks as they've developed through the new era of the story. Rytlock donning a new set of Mistward Armor, Logan ditching his old Seraph armor for a suit worthy of the Pact Marshal, and Caithe becoming crystalline with Aurenes power. These new outfits symbolise their progression in the world but doesn't really matter much for what I'm saying now.

    Despite the games vocal ideology against the Holy Trinity, these characters sort of represent it. Rytlock, the DPS, Logan, a Guardian, being the main tank, and Caithe who was once the traditional rogue can now be seen as the healer with her new powers. (She makes a specific point of healing and support in the Brisbane Wildlands DRM).

    I would've expected a Requiem story about Logan but instead we get Zafirah who is a very, very new character in the cast compared to Logan. I mean, Logan's guildmates Rytlock and Caithe got their own stories, so wouldn't it make sense to fulfill that trio with Logan? Doesn't it feel weird that Zafirah, the new kid in town, got put on the spotlight for no apparent reason?

    To be fair, the story did a great job of revealing exactly who she was. It was an avenue to tell her story because the pacing of Season 4s campaign wouldn't allow it. But ultimately, I don't really think it mattered.

    But this is where things get weirder. Rytlock and Caithe join us at the climax of finally defeating Kralkatorrik. Their arch-nemisus who killed their beloved Glint and splintered their guild, leaving scars that are still vivid through the Personal Story. This was a big moment for Destiny's Edge, and Logan wasn't there for it.

    Rytlock does say something along the lines of "I don't want a repeat of last time" but, this is very close minded of him because all three remaining Destiny's Edge members have grown so much. So, who comes in Logan's place? Zafirah.

    My first impression of this was that it was a very shoe-horned way to again put Zafirah in the spotlight. But, atleast to me, her story means nothing compared to the story of Logan and Destiny's Edge.

    We could've had Logan's final, ultimate redemption moment right then and there. But we didn't. We were short-handed by the new kid in town.

    At this point Zafirah feels like an utter replacement for Logan, but for no reason whatsoever. What makes matters worse is that she serves absolutely nothing to the greater scheme of the plot. She doesn't join Dragons Watch, and she doesn't reappear in the Icebrood Saga. And I think we can all agree that an cult-army of warriors following the God of War himself would be a lot more useful than a group of comic-relief skritt.

    I would also like to raise a point about Kito.

    When Kito was first introduced I immediately took intrigue in him. He was cool, mysterious, but not entirely cliché. He fulfilled an archetype that we haven't seen before in the main cast, bar Caithe, but she was more of a hit-and-run daggers person. Kito was stealthy and lethal. Qualities that no other cast member had at the point of meeting him.

    Not until we met Zafirah.

    Both Zafirah and Kito fill that broody, somewhat dark and edgy assassin character type. Hell, they're both deadeyes in game. But Kito came first. And Zafirah stole all the thunder from him.

    Imagine if Kito had been the one with Balthazar's sword. Perhaps he went AWOL and stole the sword for his own means - not as a zealous follower of Balthazar but for something else. Perhaps that's why he helped us so much in Path of Fire, so we could wait for the right moment to strike while we just smash things around the desert to cover his tracks. It would've been a great opportunity for a plot twist and reveal another facet of this shadowy person. Instead, he remained one dimensional, and we got the one dimensional Zafirah instead.

    I was really hoping for a new member of Dragons Watch in Kito but, that was just my own imagination spinning off at the time. I can't really be mad about it, but there was certainly some unused potential in his character.

    The third point I would like to speak of is moreso about Zafirah herself.

    As of now, if I recall correctly, she's leading the Zhaishen doing... Something. I think she's living her life in honour of Balthazar but doing exactly what, we don't know. And I think there's some real potential there.

    I feel like the only reason she would've been drafted as a character would be to have a Kormir-like ascension. Turning Zafirah into a new goddess of war much like Kormir did in Guild Wars 1 would've been a very interesting parallel to the original game. I would like to imagine Goddess Zafirah as someone like Athena from Greek Mythology, as upposed to the rage-ridden Balthazar who currently mirrors Ares.

    But this was never really explored and she swiftly turned into a pseudo side character who was spotlighted a few times here and there, replacing Logan in a lot of scenarios, hinting that she could become something more, but... She never does.

    Maybe the reason why she was written to confront Kralkatorrik at Season 4s climax was so we could have 'post credit scene' like scenario where she uses Kralkatorriks power (and by extent Balthazars power) to ascend herself.

    But it's no secret that Season 4 took a different route and was seemingly written as a grant finale to the game. So I guess they cut that idea out, and in doing so, left us with this awkward, half interjected character that's been shoehorned into the main scene for no real reason.

    I hope she does come back. I hope they further explore her potential as a character to justify all that shoehorning they did back in Season 4. Because right now looking back, it all just feels like lost potential.

    In conclusion, I write this because I was never happy with her character and never understood her role in the cast. We already had Logan, who had more than enough reason to get his good final moments of vengeance with Kralkatorrik. We already had Kito, who fulfilled these mysterious archetypes. But we instead got Zafirah, who left as quick as she came.

    Latest Echovald trailer showcases a fair bit of new customization options

    Posted: 10 Nov 2021 07:33 AM PST

    Collage. New hair, faces and even armor sets.

    It's great that we're finally being shown our new upcoming character customization options. I also remember we were told to look forward December for them to become available.

    I may have missed other things in the trailer so feel free to point it out. I wasn't sure about the new armors considering we were shown tons of NPC wearing unobtainable outfits with PoF trailers so I feared the same was happening here.

    Is Now a Good time to start GW2?

    Posted: 10 Nov 2021 04:54 AM PST

    The pain of New World is fresh, I mean, the wounds are seeping.

    I never got into GW2 because the servers are not in a great location for me.

    I saw the news about the mass lay offs, apparently feedback on the new expansion isn't great. Stuff like this;

    https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/screenrant.com/guild-wars-2-end-dragons-expansion-bad-elite/amp/

    I guess I'm looking for someone to tell me the great is fun, it still has at least a year or so of life and is in a good place :)

    General Almorra = Willbender?

    Posted: 09 Nov 2021 08:22 PM PST

    She clearly has guardian abilities and then she just zipped around for a while doing nothing but dying slowly. Sounds like a willbender to me.
