they are cool, I'd have a pet Devourer, but I can think of other monsters I'd rather have as a pet

the devourer mount is pretty cool. i like the skills and the power of it. the only bad thing about it is the fact that it forces u into 1st-person view, lol. it can get kinda annoying. especially since the devourers movements are quite jerky.

devourers are the cockroaches of GW: once the charr and asura invent nuclear weaponry and annihilate tyria, devourers will take over the world!

I don't know. I have tasted mandragors, skales, ibogas and drakes, but never devourers.

Yeah... Batter-fried, with butter-lemon sauce...

Other than that, meh...

Kind of aggravating, the way they pop up out of nowhere the way they do...

Yeah, thanks for that

I think I've seen one too many of them. But seriously, what's there to discuss?

Nothing beats them especially when you are playing a warrior thumping away on one for the first time since crossing from pre and wondering why it is taking so long to hurt it.

I would love different pets esspecially with skills

For a moment, I was prepared to write, "It's not April 1 yet".

I like how the Siege Devourers look. But in general, they really have butt-ugly faces.

Game-wise, I can't stand them. They popup all over the place in Prophecies just like scarab beetles. Popups are nothing but a huge annoyance in Guild Wars. They are overused as a gimmick to setup a cheap ambush. I can tell that they only exist to just slow down players from getting somewhere. ArenaNet stuffed them all over the chokepoints in the map so you can't just run past every monster spawn.

As an aside, I noticed that ArenaNet likes inventing monsters that waste a lot of players' time. Like the Incubus in Eye of the North that just repeatedly fly down, then leave, then they repeat this (annoying) cycle over and over until you kill them all. Or how Margonites have that boring Abbadon's Chosen skill that is basically designed to annoy players, especially since they will often merge it with Abbadon's Favor for cheap infinite healing.

nagas are more useful, because they can steal bikes for you.

Race is a cultural construct. I think you mean Phylum or Genus - Something of that sort.

I dislike devourers as a whole. I'm with the guy before that said he hated anything that pops-up. The thing is, I hate pop-ups, but they add a new dimension to the game so I don't want them done away with.

Hmm, they pop up and that is extremely annoying, but have you ever immolated one? They crackle and pop like bamboo, it's really an enjoyable noise. If only there were some form of devourer that dwell in shallow water, I bet you could boil them like crawfish. Delicious.

It's not like 99% of the threads in the riverside inn are different
"what's your favourite proffesion/weapon skin,etc..."

Probably because there's nothing to discus about GW anyway.

And no, I don't like devourers.

They are annoying to fight, but as a whole they are pretty unique. They are one of the few GW races that really stick out in people's minds and are memorable (other's I'd put on this list are the Char, rollerbettles, mursatt, and destroyers).

No matter how you feel about em, I am almost 100% sure you will see those suckers again in GW2.

Actually, I also hope I see them in GW2. They've been with me from pre-searing onwards and have made themselves a very annoying yet memorable experience. I /sign for devourers in GW2.
