Why people use the word "noob" to describe another player and then instantly make a mistake 10x worse than the one they yelled at the other person for...

Im just wondering why this little tidbit has not popped up in this thread yet.

Heroes can no longer be used in any form of PvP... but you can still unlock them for your PvP-only characters using Faction.... 0.o

Some guildies and I noticed that while hanging are in the FA outpost last week. It was a strange realisation, I wouldn't have noticed had Thackery not been introduced, as he is the only hero I have yet to "unlock for PvP use".

Yeah even though Heroes can't be used in PVP anymore you can still use them for STORAGE, but don't put any RUNES on them because you can't take them back out. They can store one weapon and one shield/offhand though.

How about the fact that yellow snow causes DISEASE. Urine is sterile, you could use it to wash out a wound if you wanted to. BROWN snow on the other hand...

Urine is only sterile when it's inside the body...once it leaves it's open to bacteria and stuff.

Because they know there are OCD people like you and me who want round numbers, so we'll try to get a Superior. I just recently got one to drop after so long, I was so happy to have a more "round" health number.

But now I don't want to use this +29hp mod on one of my bows

Why does a big half decayed necro dragon give a Green ranger item which is not even named after him (Rotscale dropping Rotwing bow)?

I would also like to konw why it is that we can not poision, disease or cause bleeding to immobile Spirits (pretty obvious why not up to now)... but we can cripple them

. Do they teleport 0,00001 Seconds slower when summoned?

My question is... How does a character carry around all this stuff (Inventory) and all you see is them wearing armor.... Where's the bags, etc.? o.O\

Seriously, they use cloaking device on them and nothing "falls out" during a fight?

Speaking of Rotscale, why isn't he undead?

Spirits can't be crippled. But they CAN be set on fire.

You take your female char and go talk to Kihm [monk henchman] and she says:
You think you have it rough? Try being a girl in this rough and tumble world....
YES my girl char is just that...

In Tihark Orchard, its supposed to be a party, why do they let you in, fully armed and armored?

Yes i know there is going to be trouble so you need to fight, but it still doesnt make sense. If the vabbians foresaw trouble they would call for more guards. If they didnt foresee trouble they wouldnt let a armed foreigner in to the party?

You can also use it to prevent overheating, by peeing on a blanket(w/e it is in english) and wrap it around your head you're ready to go through the desert!!!

The monsters are all alchemists and eat a lot of lead. Its transforms into gold in their stomach. Then we come along and murder them and go "oooh! shiny!"

That's easy; we cripple them with self-doubt.

The inside of a siege turtle is very different than most of us would have imagined.

It would be hard to....sell that.

Are the Xunlai Agents all clones of each other, or does their entire race just look alike? Where are the male ones? This is what Ash from Pokemon must feel like every time he sees a Nurse Joy or Officer Jenny.

Loot droppings. I can stretch my imagination in that maybe the monsters drop weapons because maybe they ate some unfortunate warrior, but some of the drops make no sense. Like in the Maguuma jungle, some of those tree creatures drop hundreds in gold. What is a tree of all things doing with a sack of gold? And who ventures down there, that far into the depths, with that much money on hand to possibly leave it there? They could just go pay a mercenary at that point.

It still astounds me in this game that you basically save the entire world time and time again, and you get absolutely no respect from the NPCs.

They treat you like an errand boy still or worse. Secondly, why don't the townspeople ever take any initiative? They just sit there and get slaughtered while demonic rifts rip open up or monsters come to town, when they're the ones who provide us with the armor and weapons we need to defeat said monsters in the first place.

What was the point in going through all that trouble uniting the Luxons and Kurzicks when they immediately disappear afterwards and stop helping you? Yeah, they helped with one tiny battle and then go back to being insufferable and ungrateful morons. They barely even thank you if not at all. Way to go, guys.

If I were the hero in this game, I think it would just be fun to sit back and watch the world explode for a little bit.

Also, for ungrateful morons to only pitch in for a very little while and only when it suits them, and then go right back to be ungrateful morons embroiled in their petty differences.

Someone made me think and i have a feeling i know what the h/h do with all their cash - they buy ectos with it so the multi millions they have stored away come bk to the public.
And the bags etc - forget about iron as i know its heavy but size wise how can you carry 5x250 singed gargoyle skulls or mergoyle skulls in a small pouch .
Not all foe monks can rez - damn they must be bad monks not to carry a rez for their party lol.
Why dont most fire skills ( fireball,flare, m shower etc ) cause burning when they hit you - heck if i got hit by a fireball id be burnt to a crisp.
Why dont the ice skills cause frostbite .

In the Stygian Veil, the fist quest "Breaching the Stygian Veil" requires you to stop the demon horde that's coming after the NPC, but they are friendly towards the NPC, they can stand next to each other for hours on end, and they won't attack each other... Why does he need saving, if they aren't gonna attack him anyway?

Or like those thugs in North Kryta. I was amazed, here we were, saved Tyria up to 4 times and then a bunch of thugs is telling me I can not pass. I don't think so.

What bothered me most about it was that the devs didn't give us any decent replies.

Creatures are very territorial. You're in their space, so they attack you. Thats the same reason why mobs of different creatures will attack each other, too.

I like the seige turtle picture! *clap*
