I mean seriously. I didn't even complete everything available but I really got sick of hearing the word "bear." Nornbear and the great Bear Spirit, and turning into bears and eating bears and blah blah blah blah.

Bears.

Don't worry. The Asura will "bookah" you to death. It'll be fun, no really.

Well, when people talk about their religious beliefs show some tolerance and consideration.

Bears.
Well, it is a huge part of their beliefs and heritage so I'm sure you'll be highly exposed to it even more once GW:EN goes live. Personally, I'm all about the Norn. "Slayer of Wurms" (wanted to reach armor status until I saw Warrior Norn armor...reskinned Charr hide armor? Gag.)

Quote: Interesting...that explains a lot then.

Did anyone else think that Vekk sounded like Brain off of the old show "Pinky and the Brain"? I thought the voices resembled eachother.

lol, dumb norns don't drill only this stupd sentence into our mind.
After those 3 days, i can#t hear anymore this annoying question

"Who has sent you?"

especially on last day, ever when somebody in the game asked me this, i could ever answer automatically annoyed:

"the almighty Santa Clause you fool"

but more anoying was, that npcs hever spoken something totally different, what they have talked to your characters ...

When i read something, what a npc is talking, then the voice actor should say the exact same thing, and not something totally different ...

oh and the bear model needs really to be tweaked, norns in their bear form so so extreme ugly, like huge teddy bears, not like such awesome war grizzlys we've seen on GW's Wallpapers and concepts.

nd it looks extreme stupid, when they fight with bows.
It seems, that Anet makes it so, that every race will be able to be every class lol

Imo Norns should be only Warriors (2 H axe) or Paragons, with other classes as secondary. Something silly too, when they change to bear form, the size of their weapons simple doubles -.-
imo norns as race still dont fit the game and are ugly as bears.
Asuras should be much smaler than dwarfs imo, they are imo to big - i really thought, they would be a very small race with uber huge egos.
only double as big as the minipet asura would be perfect imo.

Imo im a bit disappointed, that the SpE had no quest, where we could see at least 1 Sylvari and that we got no chance to test polymock too...

You know what could get you over your bear problem? Creative thinking.

Jora -> Norn. Norn -> bear. Bear -> teddy. Jora + teddy = win

Norns in their bear form are ugly because their heads are too big.. That makes them look way too cartoony. Anet needs to make their heads smaller and bodies bigger to make them look fierce, give them some pants too.

Why do they turn into bears and then still shoot arrows from a bow? That just seems silly.

Never anger a Norn?
Or what?
They'll sing teddy-bear's picnic at me?



As if I don't already have that stuck in my head whenever I come across the huge louts.
Only Jora is worthwhile among them.... through virtue of the fact that she is smexy. I'd be quite glad to get my hands on her bearsts..... .... I mean.... well... you know what I mean.

I love the Norns & Jora ( the norn Claudia Schieffer ) especially. Why ?????????

Because Norns CONVEY the global anarchist message LOLOLOLOL

What makes you believe this ???????

The main anarchist message is : " Neither god...nor master "
The Norns dont believe in god + they dont have army = they are solitary & individualistic like a BEAR = pure logic.


Congrats Anet.....but watch out !!!!!!!! your game box should soon BEAR the parental advisatory logo LOL

Edit: Watch this frank Zappa (one of my favourite musicians) interview about LANGUAGE & CENSORSHIP = hilarious !!!!!!!!!!!!!
