  • Yeah, I had Decheeran as like... de-shear-an.

    And sadly, human not being pronounced as hum-an? 
  • Can you partially fill an order or purchase an offer? (it's one of my favorite aspects of GW2s market system)

    Also, is it possible for orgs/npcs to make market orders?

    Seems like it could be a neat way for orgs to collect comms…

  • Oh multiclassing, if done well, is like one thing that really gets me. (I'm pretty close to having every skill that the classes in my org will let me get)
  • With the number of IRE veterans that seem to be coming across for this, it's probably a safe bet that within days, if not sooner, there will be people putting up guides and setting up some stuff to help out newbies. For some of us helping out newbie…
  • Obviously, Strine is the superior language :P
  • I really want a "lol" react.

    But to lack of guilds, I'm kinda expecting that players will build what they want and need. It'll be interesting to see how it goes.

    Yeah, that's actually part of where the generic he came from apparently.

    They applied rules for gender in Latin (the article I've read says they had seven) to English, even though they're not the same thing.
  • (Quote) So the many who will be confused and try to correct "he" to they should be outweighed by the few that will not like "they"?

    Realistically, it has never been neutral though. The male is linguistically treated as the default human…
  • I mean, part of the issue here is that Lusternia doesn't really have this problem so it's hard for me to talk to it.

    Class was controlled through GL commands, so our issue was (still is) more around Contest/Voting rights. I don't think th…
  • (Quote) It's also presumably extendable, if the game is just referencing a number that matches up with a table then the limit would be on how many pronouns are wanted, and realistically the table could be added to later on.

    The Decheeran…
  • I mean... it's pretty normal and understandable.

    The guild=class model forces a diverse group of people who aren't all wanting to play the same way into one shared space and inhibits the groups that could otherwise form.

    You ba…
  • I mean, that's kinda what a pre-release promo is all about. Tempting people to give you money before launch by offering something they can only get at that point. Otherwise, there's no reason to do so cause you can just get it later on.

  • tbh, some players would probably buy early adopter credits if you just gave them a punny reward for doing so
  • I did end up moving to Lusternia and have had a lot of fun times there with friends that I've made, but yeah, not a super great experience.

    But also happy that it's also a thing that's gone.
  • My actual worst experience with a guild personally was an Achaean one back in like... 2004 when I was very first starting out with IREs (had been on Discworld for ages at that point).


    I'd gotten through the early steps but then one …
  • Yeah, a lot of modern graphical mmos are making it part of their pre-purchase campaigns, I've prepurchased a few just to make sure I get Sairys (there's so many places I can't get it in Name Reservation Comment by Sairys March 2018
  • (Quote) I was mostly making a joke about Star Citizen :p
  • (Quote) I mean, did the singular they actually ever go away?
    Wiki provides a book title "An English Grammar for the Use of High School, Academy and College Class"  from 1895 which noted the common use of the singular they.

  • A lot of this comes down to the players realistically, and it can be a different experience from guild to guild even in the same game. Whether or not we'll have guild-like structures is also likely to play into it.

    Personally, I'm a fan o…
  • Early Adopter Package buy credits before the game releases, get to reserve a name.

  • (Quote) I feel that at day 1 lessons are potentially more powerful. 

    Like having full access to everything immediately means you'll bash faster, potentially more effectively if there are xp bonus skills.
    You can grab a trade that w…
  • Personally, I think the reality is that artifacts are there to give people an edge or some other benefit. The greater the benefit the higher the cost.

    It's obviously true that a powerful artifact in the hands of a newbie or low-tier comba…
  • You don't even need to go outside of humans to see that "biological sex" isn't really black and white.

    Like... that goes to a whole discussion about sex-wise what is a male and a female? And what about the many people that don't fall dir…
  • Yeah, studies have pretty conclusively shown that in regular speech, the singular "they" is used by the majority of people. Like even people that will argue against its use will often immediately use it the moment they stop thinking about it. As in …
  • True.
    Now I'm imagining trying to add in another race with unique pronouns in the second version.
  • From the Lusternia discussions, an issue is that it doesn’t just affect players cause denizens are also handled the same way. So as more and more denizens get added it’s more stuff to change to a new method later on, adding to the whole “massive cha…
  • I'm the opposite, I invest in one and then it can be painful feeling like you're starting over fresh. (Possibly why I also really like FFXIV)

    Multiclassing also encourages it (I know we won't have it at launch) cause I can pick up the cla…
  • (Quote) By your logic here, gender should not be specified until each player has looked at another player and assigned an assumed gender to them.

    I've had non-binary friends talk about how they get yelled at for trying to use one changi…
  • I'll sometimes alt just to try out different things or see what other orgs are like, but eventually, they all just die off cause it's time I could be spending on my main.

    Also, would reiterate that having more than one character in an org…
  • As a side note, hope to have options outside the binary has come up previously in Lusternia a couple of times now and get bumped back because of the amount of work it would take to convert everything over at this stage. (apparently, the "gender" fla…
