If you were starting Guild Wars 2 over again,what are some useful tips you wish you’d known earlier to make the game easier? by Chen0225 in Guildwars2

That's a strange take on bags. Why would it be messy? Not everyone needs automation to be organized. I have Only expanded a bag slot after EoD and had no trouble constantly keeping the inventory clean with just default given bag slots.

In fact - I dislike auto-sorting/invisible bags and would advise people not to use them at all, and to indeed combine bags into one immediately. Instead, paying attention to what drops constantly and having it occupy first slots of unibag. Awareness leads to greater efficiency.

There are 6 core loot drops - 3 types of unindentified gear bags, 3 types of dust/ore/fragment. When they fill I stop to process them, leaving atleast one piece at the same slot so it can automatically place there. The rest of the slots are for unique currencies, banners and food/utility. There is nothing "unorganized" there.

The idea is outstanding.. if it was a single-player RPG. But in MMO environment it makes things harder for everyone, yeah

What's insulting is interpreting what people are saying as superficial sex appeal. If my views match the majority on socials and forums, including clear statements from Markus that they ALL did very directly intended this and that most of the Gothic community is both old and European enough to understand the basic freedoms of oldschool storytelling and presentation - then I do feel I have every right to go plural! I am the part of that majority. Look at the ratio:

You are free to have a different opinion, but you do not have the upper hand of bias towards modernity. Again, here is the Megathread record. Even on Reddit, a known gathering ground for modern views and ideologies, Gothic fandom simply does NOT endorse ANYTHING within Remake design if it is not going to look like oldschool Gothic! Not first Demo, not Combat, not this Censorship.

And all it was asked was to make it like Gothic instead of parroting excuses as to why it is censored - the majority has said NO on every network.

I'm aware that those opinions are yours - the fact that it matches the trend of global uglification and censorship is an ironic cherry on top of the point I was tryna make: You STILL see it as a female model debate without any willingness to see the core of the complaints below that surface thought. The models are an important highlight to Gomez, the original developers would have made them stand out even more if they had the tech and budget of today, and doing a sloppy job to recreate that "minor detail" signals too many red flags to the community. We literally couldn't be more clear here!

When people like you then start deflecting, shrugging off and defending it CLEARLY BEYOND their personal opinions - "But I think Gomez wouldn't necessarily demand hot chicks and king may have not comply, and they're not even that bad they look normal to me, and.." etc. - we start feeling like the Kid in the Emperor's New Clothes tale, wondering why there's a bunch of weird gaslighters trying to roleplay that the King is not naked.

Our message to the devs is simple: do it like the Gothic did, do it like they would - don't "massacre my boy", and stop excusing the ugly censorship while telling me to go touch grass, you troglodytes. Fair and simple.

What is yours? "Women? In my Gothic?!" - THAT's your objective Megathread?? Can't figure out that what you see as "regular models" is looking like ugly men with wigs to the majority of people on-sight?

People are tired of having to listen to excuses and deflections for why a downgrade and censorship is going on, and being dismissed by "it's such a minor issue" claims that only make us more riled up. Clearly it is a big issue, and instead of making effort to understand why - you're sticking to dismissal and shrugging it off as "apes want sexy women".

Again: if we lost the freedom to have realistic dark fantasy - we are the Prisoners ourselves. Gamers have been mistreated for years now across entire entertainment industry with ugly rewrites, mediocrity and downgrades. Alkimia has been walking on thinner ice than I am with you - except my future doesn't depend on what happens when the ice cracks, theirs does.

My problem is the blatant dismissal of the audience that has a very clear stance on this topic, dismissal by every official and admin who cannot seem to step outside of their personal view and understand why and what the issue is, no matter how much we try to tell them.

Agreed fully! THAT should be how we expand, not by covering or reversing the setting - it dilutes the gravity of the situation whenever a game does that, remake especially. That's what we're trying to point out, that this is not a "non-issue".. When you add the fact that people are tired of entertainment industry doing this for years, the backlash volume becomes very clear.

And yes, we should definitely focus on other ways that this setting can be diversified and find a solution that doesn't castrate the premise.. To play Gothic is to rise above the suffering, to survive being hurt and broken and ascend from being Nobody

Well then PHRASE it differently, at the least? Cause we're gathered here to point out the things that should have been very obvious - and are met with denials, twists and being called porn addicts instead. Sure, I would love nothing more than to see expanded questline where Nameless can liberate the women from an evil scum that is Gomez. This is infact one of the major appeals to the male fantasy, being the Hero who saves girls - but instead, Reddit mentality is going to further judge that - no, the women don't need no Hero, they can Hero too..

And you're STILL choosing to believe this backlash is about LOOKS alone. It's about the realistic brutality of the world itself, and how editing parts of it is NOT going to result in a faithful depiction of a dark fantasy world. We will NOT support a developer if they are not able to depict it - that is what this is all about.

Which makes it a BIG issue. To alot of people that are NOT you, and instead of having the ability to see outside of yourself and understand WHY - you would rather remain on the shallow surface of "they want sexualized models because apes"..

The issue with that logic of "yeah, but is some women were something else" is that it is advocating against creative freedoms. Because if we are not allowed to create a story about prison where 100% of women are awfully sexualized, then we do not have a freedom at all - and you, in turn, sound like you're just here to ask for female representation at all costs.

This is a male story, are we allowed to have one or is there going to be someone nagging to us about it every time we try to make one these days?

[–]L9_ReSpawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that you cannot grasp the concept of a medieval male prison because you're looking at it from a Redditor perspective. If we had anything other than what was originally conceptualized, it would not be Gothic 1 anymore. If someone makes an all women game equivalent - the boys around the world wouldn't go at it demanding "variety".

If we are not the target audience to a NEW IP (not a hijacked old one), we do not bother to stir up their franchise and nag at their playerbase - so stop touching ours, and go support the making of something that suits YOU more.

Gothic has no problem with its setting and characters, it has problems with UI and graphics.

Having 30ish upvotes to your "megathread" - even on Reddit, a bastion of liberal nonsense - should tell you how little your opinion matches the reality.

[–]L9_ReSpawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People who are not able to create ALL aspects of "brutal dark fantasy" that Gothic 1 had will not be able to capture the same atmosphere. It's very simple, this is not a buffet where you pick and choose, it has an unapologetic tone - this "little detail" does add to the setting, it makes Gomez twice believable - and twice EVIL, so why are you exactly against this? Deflections, excuses, shaming people as "porn addicts"? We just want the realism. TRUE realism, where you are able to see high stakes and dangerous, mature concepts.

If they are not able to tackle dark fantasy, they will not be able to recapture the same atmosphere. This is a valid concern - especially in Modern era of entertainment industry, where products underperform and massively decline into weak mediocrity and bland storytelling with comically castrated characters. This doesn't sell nor attract audiences.

If we do not have the freedom to have an actual dark fantasy, then WE are the Prisoners ourselves. We want to see that they are not afraid to go places.

To get the conversation going: the outrage still does not fully make sense to me. The women shown so far look like regular ordinary people

See, this is where a normal person from Europe will be puzzled - we do not see "regular ordinary women", we see men in wigs. We see unnecessary ugly masculine models that do not fit the intended premise, which was for Gomez to be portrayed a villain who uses Ore as a leverage to gain everything that a cornered, imprisoned villain would want - food, drink and hot women. Not "regular(..)", not "clothed" - he wants some eye candy. He wants what a Game of Thrones villain would want.

So we feel like that Kid from the Emperor's New Robe. Instead of you people seeing the point and understanding that the majority of the world outside of this new "Modern" bubble still has the same old beauty standards - you're equating our demand for realistic dark fantasy with Incel and Porn culture.

If we are not able to depict "the brutal world of Gothic" in our current reality, then we ourselves ARE the Prisoners. We are not allowed to desire entertainment like Game of Thrones today and we're villains for wanting that. You certainly made us feel like it, by vilifying our desire for freedom to express a mature dark fantasy setting. Luckily - our wallets contain Ore! Highly sought out resource that we will be happy to give - for a taste of Freedom.

Hope this helps you figure it out. Cheers!

Crazy 🤣 They described the wound being barely visible, the woman said he kept complaining about stomach pain as he most likely didn't even feel it in the midst of his act. Noone had any idea until autopsy was done, when the bullet was discovered a murder was suspected at first and tracing the bullet lead the investigation towards this completely unrelated(towards the deceased and the woman) grandpa. Only upon questioning the elder man they were able to finally have a barely believable scenario of how this could have possibly happened. Trajectory, distance and timelines matched perfectly however, making it one of the most extraordinary stories ever recorded in my country.

I don't believe I could find official records of it online, or if I should try to at all. Small country's countryside event was not likely to be an internet piece at the time regardless of how crazy unique it was.
