P.S. Great comic again Labsenpai. Your comics are the best.

I agree, Taxi Runners waist car is hilarious... Love it.

When you say final, are we talking final Tank Troubles or final Labsenpai Guildwars comics?

Addendum: Apologies to Run-DMC for borrowing their rhyme. Energy Smaks are part of a balanced breakfast, just ask the Frog. Taxi Wammo is very rich, thanks to all the "Augury Rock hitchers". I haven't completed enough of Factions to merit comics that cover the rest of the story.

I only have plans for a couple more strips, one last Healbot special, and a Ranger Special. Then my site needs a Ver.2 revamp. I doubt I'll have time to start Nightfall when it is released. If I ever hear from Arenanet relations about my bid to be added to the official fanpage listing, I might have a reason for expansion then.

Poor, poor Healbot. Ah, Frenzy, how I hate thee...

And I'd have to say, I've never found the Am Fah to be that much of a problem, leastways not compared to the Brotherhood and the Afflicted...

They are really annoying in the Undercity, patrolling/guarding every pathway with Bosses to boot. Turns leisurely side quests, like Orrian Tome, into nasty affairs.

There should be a "City Maintenance" quest that allows you to permanently block all those holes the Afflicted spawn from. Maybe then you'd have a chance to do business with the street merchants...

I still think a few comics with the mods of Guru as guests would be great.

Another great comic from ya.

Hate to see it all end.

Shiro's brilliant plan, foiled by a block of cement.

For newly-arrived characters, yes, they are nasty - I just found it interesting that you referred to them rather than the Jade Brotherhood. Although I suppose a reference to the Brotherhood just wouldn't have the ring to it that 'ninja death squad' does

.

And yes, some quest to deal with the holes would be nice - I'm visualising a quest where you get given a skill that allows you to fill in the holes, and go around slamming the lid on all the Afflicted. It'd have to be after you defeat Shiro, though, otherwise the holes would probably just get remade...

The Am Fah are the ones that "ninja rope ambush" from the top of your screen though. The Jades just saunter around lookin for people to beat up.

Are there any RPGs where the countryside is peaceful after you beat the final villain? Meh.

I could probably post "Heal-Doodles" that could be sketched faster than the full strips. I doubt anyone really cares about P-Shop textures...

I think I have seen Jades do it at times - but the Am Fah are certainly the most prolific users of this tactic, yes.

Quote: Are there any RPGs where the countryside is peaceful after you beat the final villain? Meh. True, but the way I'd look at it is that while Shiro is on the loose, there's no real point dealing with the Afflicted, because that would be fighting the symptoms and ignoring the cause...

Once Shiro is dealt with, however, then instead of continuously increasing in number the rate at which new Afflicted are created will drop dramatically or even cease entirely, making it possible for efforts to contain them (such as blocking the holes) more likely to succeed. Of course, you'd have to be wary about wiping them out of the city altogether, as from the gameplay perspective that could make some elites difficult to get - but filling in those holes would still make the streets safer (both because you only have to fight the Afflicted you see rather than having a million more hiding in the hole, and because, well, just because characters (usually) can't fall down the holes doesn't mean NPCs can't...)
