Curse

I was originally going to post about the discrepency experienced when seeking blessings from the gods (7 of 10 professions pay one fee for boost to all attributes, while three have to pay 4-5 times the fee for the same benefit), then i saw this:

It seems Lyssa (the god of many faces) is trying to stand in for Balthazaar. This is Halfway between Jokanur Diggins and Blacktide Den, in Fahranur. She is even offering her own blessings (Mesmer/Assassin/Energy Storage - a perfect example of the afformentioned problem).

Maybe Balthazar is actually Lyssa, with a different face :O

That's kinda weird though, needs fixing.

This sometimes happens when two god-statues are spawned at the same res shrine. There heve been incidents reported of a Balth-Dwayna combo, and a Grenth-Balth combo. Basically both statues are on the same spot; the Balth-Dwayna combo combined the Balthazar statue with Dwayna's wings, and upon kneeling Dwayna's avatar would appear.

In this picture, Lyssa's statue is altogether covered by Balthazar's statue, so you can only see the Balth part.

But only one avatar spawns it seems.

Balth + Dwayna = Wammo god

You know the statues aren't random spawns, right? They are fixed (as in unchanging). If you walk out of Kamadan, the god statue there is going to be the same each time. So I don't see how two statues "spawn" over each other. Either way, this needs a fixin'.

Also, I still think it is grossly unfair that a Monk pays Dwayna 150g to boost all 4 attributes, while a paragon has to pay Dwayna 300g and only get a boost in 2 attributes (double the fee for half the reward). It just doesn't make sense, in lore or game mechanics. The attribute boost cost for professions that only get a boost in one attribute should be reduced to reflect that they are only getting one boost, rather than the 4 of other professions.

Lyssa is all the gods. All the other gods are her illusions. We are all pawns in her mind games.

Balthazar and Lyssa were making love, so what?

lmao. Yeh they need to fix this.

This may be so, but there still is a chance of two god-statues mixing up. So there must be some spawning. Or called it a glitch. Why does this happen? I don't know, but I know this has been going on since early-Factions.

It looks like Balthazar knows how to get around.

Where is the Balthazar-Dwayna mix? Winged Balth sounds hella' cool!
And yeah, Balthazar is a player. I caught him with my sister last night...
