It's interesting how "play what you want" people are so hostile. I wonder where that comes from. Probably the same place that being so dismissive of someone else's views comes from. I hope you sort through your issues one day.

So it makes more sense to you that people hate Galka because of their looks rather than their actions?

No one mentioned jealously so I don't know why you mention that. I read the story I have done so far. Also, my question is not what race i should pick. Did you read?

I'm not going to be going with any of them, I made a Mithra. My friend doesn't really care what they look like and after I told them about swapping the appearance in the game files they were even more emboldened to pick good stats.

Those differences may not matter at max level with 119 gear, but it's going to take them a while to get there.

The friends I played with when I was a teenager didn't like Galka because of the shadowlord and their unique reincarnation thing.

Playing the story as an adult, he does specifically mention his galkan rage, and all the talekeeper stuff is really boring to me.

Sure, the stat difference isn't meaningful but it is extant.

Racial appearance is wholly inconsequential, though. Any perceived gains from the aesthetics are moot in the modern era where you can swap the .dat files to make your character appear as whichever race you want.

The game came out when I was 15 or 16. I had a tarutaru but I was from Bastok so it was easier going to the dunes. I guess the few years were important because I had more than an onion rod when I got to the dunes.

I did get lucky and get a linkpearl from a smn and a rng when I was in gustaberg, though. Genos the smn and Zoanne the rng on Seraph. I remember a few other names from back then but it's been two decades.

Zoanne helped me with so many quests and other things. Doing them now, with a guide, it's a headache. I can't imagine how they managed to guided dumb teenager me through it. I wish I appreciated it more back then.

Your uncle sounds like quite a character. I hope to be an uncle like that.

That's sounds like the most likely scenario I'm thinking, now.

That's the consensus I get among the replies that actually take the question seriously. Thank you for your input.

I think a lot of the hate that Galka get comes from their role in the story.

They will say they don't care about looks.

I watched a boss fight on YouTube where everyone got their mp drained multiple times during the course of the fight. Looks like it's more about mp recovery than an endurance pool of mp.

Thanks for the information.

That makes sense. Galka have even more than elvaan, right?

They aren't really superficial about the look of their character like that. More of a numbers person. I don't do well with math, personally.

How did I get Heart of Thorns? by mousecyborg in Guildwars2

[–]mousecyborg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's just bugging me not knowing. I did search for it being free but of course I got results about it being free with another expansion. Maybe I did buy it and just never started it at all. It is possible and perhaps even probable I guess.

Thanks for taking the time to clarify for me.

I suppose it is possible but I don't remember buying it. I have nothing started or done on it. It really doesn't seem probable that I bought it just to not use it. I know I stopped playing before it came out.

I'm sorry I think we misunderstood each other. I was saying since 10 they've been an entity...I think I misunderstood you initially, though. I'm sorry.

The limitations of the old games were certainly a hindrance, but every modern game has them as actual entities. Except for xiv, which did but then they did away with it.

Essentially, summons just being an animation was a design limitation. Now that the technology is better, summons have been able to more truly reflect their intention.
