Guild Wars 2

[Icepaw]

So... I just learned or well relearned a sad part of Almorra's past. Her son Ajax went and rebelled against the high legions and as a vigil recruit you put him down. Honestly looked and acted like Bangar... still can't believe those two had a cub but well... the cub was no doubt taught by Bangar's influence and poor boy went rotten.

 

[Empress Mother Jin]

Yeah, whole family's gone, it's just sad. Though, if I remember right, Ajax didn't rebel against the legions ? More so he was extremely against the peace treaty between the charr and humans.

Still, really rough family situation. Poor Almorra getting shit from her husband and son all the way through.

Yesterday my son guided me through World VS World... well, only things like capturing points that weren't well-guarded. It was for the weekly objectives in Wizard's Vault, and for my son to get the Metal Legion T-Shirt skin, since he's still struggling with the event "catch the leaping charr". For some reason the event just failed immediately, despite the players standing right at the area the charr was leaping to. Big waste there, meh.

Oh and last night I tried that shouting "AMNYTAS IS OURS !" again, but Lyhr still came in in the cutscene. I guess he was not gonna take my bullshit again (lol).

Ajax hated humans and saw no reason the charr should ever befriend them so he worked with a group of renegade charr to stop the peace. Sadly the orders to establish peace came down from the high legions so by trying to get in the way of that Ajax was rebelling against the legions as well. Even going so far as to come up with a plan to assassinate the human diplomat and frame the charr one for the murder. Playing more of the Icebrood saga it...became quite clear... Ajax was exactly like his father in that Bangar is a racist and power hungry charr as well. Almorra left the legions to build the Vigil to fight the dragons but that meant her son was within reach of Bangar and his ideals without her influence. Ajax was an early hint at how rotten Bangar was but you never figure this out till Icebrood. Then Bangar making Rytlock tribune of blood legion despite hating the man in some way allowed Bangar to poison the mind of Rytlock's son Ryland and.... yeah things...get really bad really quick. Bangar never listening to anyone he feels below him which sadly includes us the palyer telling him Aurene's not a threat and despite telling him at least three times he feels to counter her he needs an elder dragon of his own. How that guy's not dead yet I'll never know but it makes him not getting the power he desired from Jormag all the more fitting, named her voice and locked forever more in a cage where he belongs while we work to kill Jormag was more than that scum deserved. What..exactly Almorra saw in Bangar...I'll never know unless he was her assigned mate if that's a system at all but god I felt horrible for her all the same. As you said..she got crap from her husband and her son... she deserved so much better than she got but at least we helped her see to the death of the dragon that took her warband from her. Ajax..even has the same fur color as Bangar... didn't even look like his mother that much at all... reminds me of that meme "Spent all that time in her womb only to come out looking like his bastard father" or whatever

Hmm must of been some good tea and cards as Lyhr wasn't going to let you steal his lines again lol.

 

[Empress Mother Jin]

In conclusion, it's thanks to Bangar that Almorra lost her son, and Rytlock and Crecia lost their son. I'd love to kick his ass, whenever it's possible. I already finished Icebrood Saga as Almorra, though maybe I'll replay the last chapter (Champion) just to beat up Braham again, then shove that victory up in Bangar's face again.

And I'm still gonna (attempt to) steal my good man Lyhr's line again tonight (lol).

Between that, I'll focus on EoD masteries to fully upgraded my bot, then deck out that place Arborstone. Hopefully the mastery achievements aren't too hard...

 

[Icepaw]

Funny enough one of the first EoD masteries I finished was the jade bot, letting the bot be able to revive you when you get downed is so nice...only rarely gives up trying as that's only happened like once and I forget the why. Think a monster was eating me or something but 99% of the time it gets me back up and cool down on that isn't too long but can be made shorter with a sensory array chip. Think I'm working on maxing the turtle then aiming to max my boat and fishing as arborstone...idk its nice but I'm rarely there. Wish you luck on the masteries all the same.

Also yeah I wanted to gut Bangar big time when i realized all the crud he'd done. He blames Almorra for the death of their son for example because the one who killed him worked for the vigil and thus for her, and yeah he's racist as can be for a charr and basically forced the flame legion to surrender their children to blood legion if they wanted peace saying if they refused he'd kill every last one of them more or less. Knowing full well why Crecia wanted Flame to be allowed back peacefully but exploiting that for his own gain. I'm kinda glad Crecia and the new lady charr imperator for Iron are smart as it seems the guys were just flat out stupid and prideful

 

[Empress Mother Jin]

I finished the fishing mastery (the vest skin for the chest armor looks pretty nice), and the turtle one. I don't remember if my skiff is maxed out yet (I think it is), but now I'm focusing on my bot. Gonna see what's up...

As much as I want to think otherwise (female charrs aren't that much smarter, male charrs not that stupid and/or prideful), I unfortunately can't really think of any examples of male charrs doing something big. Urvan (leader of the Steel warband) got humiliated and shut up pretty damn quick. Talon (the guy at Claw Island) insisted on fighting off the Risen forces when everyone was clearly outnumbered and overwhelmed. And, Rytlock isn't without flaws either.

So far the new 'imperator' of Flame Legion seems like a reasonable person...

 

[Icepaw]

Yeah Rytlock also turned down the honor of imperator but Crecia does honestly alright for a blood legion imperator. The ash legion gal you meet in icebrood is still there as ash imperator and while she does get a bit of a desire for field work she does alright for her job. Haven't met the new imperator gal of Iron but she's not like Smodur so that's already an improvement. Not really a matter of who's smarter among the charr by gender it's just that the trio of ladies in control atm are doing good thus far and we got a decent Flame imperator who's doing well with the whole peace thing. Without spoiling anything there was talk about Khan Ur in Janthir but they're still unsure if they even need one. Smodur btw felt that the epace treaty with humans and the return of the claw of the khan Ur would get him the throne so..it wasn't really for the charr but rather for himself so...he won't be missed. Bangar straight up went traitor so he's not coming back... things look good for the charr.

I am finding it funny that I didn't finish fishing as for the Revenant ascended weapon and the Guardian one I need to fish up a certain fish and that fish requires higher fishing level than i got XD
