- The xunlai are present in most districts next to their chests, but no one seems to pay them. Why aren't they stealing our stuff? Same with the Guild Lord. And why doesn't he ever do anything useful for the guild beside waiting to get beaten up?
- Hammers are huge blocks of metal on the end of a wooden stick. Why doesn't the stick ever break considering how heavy the block must be? And wouldn't it be better to make them from metal?
Things that just don't make sense...

One night many years ago I had the discussion with a player in my D&D campaign about 'hits' and 'misses'. He was swinging at a giant and I told him he missed. He got outraged about how a person could 'miss' a GIANT! I let him know that a miss was not really a miss in D&D but a blow, swing, attack, etc that had no possibility of doing any true damage to the monster. A blow that did not get through the armor or natural abilities of the creature.
Just like hit points are not really life. They are the combined toughness of the character. One blow can kill the strongest man, creature, whatever. It is the combined factors of the fight that deplete the hit points of a character. So, even a hit may not be a hit. It is just one more factor leading to the characters death.

Whats with GW tactics regarding fortresses.
The Raven's posting mentioned the battle for Lions Arch and I thought about castles in general in this game.
Pretty much all the bad guys keep the gates closed and we have to either unlock them use a catapult to break them down or get past with stealth disguise etc.
When we defend we always leave the gates open, then what may I ask is the point of having the damn walls.
Northern wall omg the charr army is coming then shut the *!?/£$% gate.
ditto Lions arch, I mean come on drawbridge moat porcullis boiling oil scaling ladders its all in the defend my castle for dummies otherwise known as don't be stupid 101.

If the charr could cause such a cataclysm and destroy almost everything in one attack.... How can a big ugly horn let me whoop there arse.
Original Before changes - Why they heck did they think ghosts need to walk so slow.
Is Mark of Aidan actually rocks or Poop piles ? And why can I collect them?

regarding armor...why isn't there a changing room next to the xunlai chest? Dye stains so how are we continually able to re-dye our armor(s) - and weapons for that matter? How is my monk able to run around in the cold-ass southern shiverpeaks practically naked (flowing armor)? How are scalp designs switched out once applied? I mean tattoos are hard to remove!
My ranger's bramble recurve bow has been in continous use for four years now -- how the hell has it not broken yet? Why hasn't my ranger's hair ever grown? Where the hell did he learn to breakdance like that? I don't recall a storyline where Turbo and Ozone, or Boogaloo Shrimp showed up in Tyria one day...
Why are necromancers so out of breath all the time? I think they are asthmatic, constantly gasping for air the way they do. They've got serious skin issues as well, I bet they stink.
How are we able to fight plagueborne monsters in melee-range combat, most likely getting blood spewed on us (eww), yet never catch the plague? Where the hell are the hospitals in Kryta? All this death and destruction and never an ambulance cart??
Why is it that Koss is the only black guy in all of guild wars? Where are his parents?
Why can my pouch hold stacks of granite, and stacks of dust piles, yet my ranger can run around just as fast with either?
I've got lots more questions, too!

The Backpack, Belt Pouch, x2 Bags, and an additional Equipment pack.
Total possible space for items on character: 65
The thing that doesn't make sense is that in this massive storage space is that you can store very large and VERY heavy items. I can tell you for a fact that a Mace/Hammer weighs quite a bit, yet i can store 65 of them AND still run the same speed as without them. I have no idea how much Platinum weigh but 100 of them would undoubtedly weigh something.
Yes I know this is a GAME and not realistic but i always thought it was odd that we can have so much storage on our characters without any visual representation.

The searing could have been prevented by 2 lonesome adventurers.

I'm glad our weapons dont break. Dont question it.
We do get diseased in this game. Its just generic disease though, nothing specific.
Koss is not the only black guy. Almost all Elonian NPC's are dark-skinned in some way. And you meet Koss' father in Yohlan Haven and during the quest "The Djarin Estate."

It's been a long time since I actually played the storyline in NF, I was off-the-cuff with the Koss being the only black guy remark. before I'm accused of racism, let it be known that General Morghan is still my favorite hero, even though I found him pretty useless at the beginning - but so was my main character at that time, lol.
I once had a warrior character I tried to make look like Koss, but with gray hair, replete with sunspear armor and a short sword..his name was Koss' Grandpappy...alas, he's since been deleted.
I think I love this game.

Again, I can accept the McGuffins about magic armor, magic backpacks, etc... but there is a strange disconnect when it comes to trying to feel any sense of loss over the death of a NPC given the fact of rez shrines.

What struck me today: how are the Siege Cannons on the turtles reloaded? And for that matter, if the Luxons already have gunpowder and cannons, why haven't they made a fortune selling them to other armies? The Acalonians could take back the whole country with some cannons. Not to mention that the Shining Blade would never have gotten close to the White Mantle temples/castles with a few well-placed cannons on the ramparts.

Fight through hordes of vicious aggressive mobs and there, standing right in the middle of the last mob you put down is ... a Collector! Or some other NPC. The mobs don't bother them. Do they feed the monsters? Perhaps they sing and dance for them and bring them little gifts.
Where do these NPCs live? If in the nearest outpost, some of them have a long walk!

That's right I totally forgot NPC collectors. There are these <lvl 10 collectors in all these ultra-hostile and unlivable environments. Deep in Charr territory, the Ring of Fire Islands, deep in warden/outcast territory and so on.
They made it slightly more believable in Nightfall where they put ghosts in the more inhospitable evironments, but that begs the question of how they can hold these items, why do they want them, and how do they store them along with having items to give you for them.

Why don't you insta-die stepping into lava(ring of fire for example) at 800-1000 C°, and just burn a little?
Why we have to fight in UW and FoW for Grenth and Balthazar? They're god no? If Balthazar/Grenth says "Buh!" the army of darkness/ghosts could be destroyed by them no?
Why in all 4 GW expansions there's ALWAYS a old, powerful, forgot by everyone foe (Lich+Shiro+Abaddon+Great Destroyer) and you are always the fool who is caught in the middle and have to stop it saving the world?
P.S: in GW2 too!

When I saved the world from Abaddon and became a renowned hero, my next quest was being ordered to get my hands dirty and take the trash out! (by Hedge Wizard Mabai in Garden of Seborhin). Talk about a fall from grace!

Yeah agreed just watch "The Mummy"
They could have killed the guy a thousand different ways but chose to do it in the one way that had a very slight chance of turning him into an unkillable monster able to destroy the world.
So that's what they did.
Motto just chop the head off and burn the bugger, better yet serve him up at a banquet and eat him.

After running "Warn the Tengu" about 23 times (getting the mules leveled up in preparation for Canthan New Year) I can't help but notice the large pile of human skulls in the "friendly" Tengu camp. Do they just pick off a stray traveler now and then, and have him for supper? Maybe as revenge for all those chicken dinners we have...

Which reminds me, the Nightfall warrior Endgame armor requires 400 iron ingots and 400 bones, assuming a single bone weights 3 pounds. That armor weights 25,200 pounds, far outweighing Master Chiefs armor. That's the same weight as the Cowboys Stadium's Center-Hung Diamond Vision TV screens.
If we can run around no problem wearing 25k pounds of armor, I'm pretty sure we can carry extra stuff.
