Reyna! Was all we had just a fling? Did you not mean the words you said? How could you? I loved you, I trusted you...my heart weeps...

Okay, now I was really really impressed with how well the game ran on my PC. The graphics were great! And everything loaded up so fast...

But THIS is just totally beyond the call of duty on the part of the game programers...

THE NPC's READ THE FORUM TOO?!?!?! WOW. This game is pimp.

Ah! My loyal subject! I knew some true hearts remained from my days as your prince. Know this though; I may be prince by birth, and by the onscreen references, but I am truly Rurik of Ascalon now. No part of my heart belongs to the pathetic and short sighted monarch that cast me out for recognizing the folly of remaining in Ascalon. Ascalon lives in my heart, and the hearts of those who have accompanied me on my journey through the Shiverpeaks, but that foolish old man is doomed.

Now when I explained that humans were cowards earlier, I should note that this is a generalization. Some, like you no doubt, are as brave as any algorithm for agression out there. Even your guild name rings of honour and bravery! Warrior Nation! How that brings a tear to my eye, brave souls running headlong into battle, throwing all fear aside in their lust for vengeance! And your profession! Warrior/Monk! Truly, of all the humans I have played with, only your breed can rival me in zealously charging into any mass of opponents, no matter how large or foolish the odds. It's almost like Warrior monks are bots too! I feel such a kinship with these brutish, predictable clones! Others may mock you for playing a brainless cookie cutter class, but someone has to bring the fight to these rabid, disease ridden vermin, and you and I, good friend, will plunge valiantly to our doom time and again, heedless of the cries of the cowards who would wait "for my energy to fill" or "for my protection spell to recharge". Bah, pansies! Better a noble death engaging every foe on the map then to plot in the shadows, luring and ambushing them like a thief in the night. No, warrior/monks in their brainless zeal are the closest thing to a good companion a prince like myself can find.

As to my musical taste, I like a good mazurka, or a viking ode. You see, in a former life I established a 700 year rule over an area of a parallel realm called "earth", in which I founded a mighty empire in 9th century Russia (1). Ah, how I miss mead and vodka - you know, there isn't a single tavern in all of Ascalon? Sometimes I nip out for a drink with the bear hunters when my prissy father, the teetotaler, is off playing with his dolls - ooh, boy, does that stuff pack a punch - 3-4 of those and I can't see straight, and Thom has a nice still in his basement and we knock back some grappa to stave away the boredom of running through the same areas again and again, with the same fleshy morons that get us killed.

LOL damn... I guess I need to invest in a few more Moa treats and some nice protective armour for my lil birdie...

Alzbeta · May 26, 2005, 04:21 PM // 16:21

Rurik, you're a saucy lad, aren't you?! If you're looking for a noble co-ruler to match your fire and zest, just look up Necromancer Alzbeta the Guide... she'll give you a run for your money. I hear she thinks your suicidal tendencies are hot.

I've been talking to Stephan about unionizing. You may not think it's so pimp then, buster.

I'm not worried. I've got Orion pegged as the scab of the group, so at least we'll still have him.

Draco · May 26, 2005, 04:44 PM // 16:44

True - Rumor has it that Orion does not share the party gold... he goes just "to fry baddies" as he put it...

How could she be making a move on you??Ive been going out with her for years now so back off!!!

rschaefer_1 · May 26, 2005, 05:15 PM // 17:15

Alesia I think you are a better healer then about 1/2 of the humans I've seen (guild mates not counted). Could you do me a favor though. When I'm tanking don't run in front of me. I don't need to see you to know you are helping me. Also could you yell a little when you need some help? The Mighty Rabbitslayer is always willing to help you with what pathetically little energy is in my pool. Also I have vengence now so I'm sorry if it hurts but I'm going to be using that more often on you. No one needs an additional death penalty.

If, by Alzbeta the Guide, you mean yourself, I think you had best rethink your proposition. I believe that it is clear that no human player can complement Rurik. He needs a true NPC companion.

/pickme

Ever since the death of my beloved Saidra I have been left to roam the icy, forsaken paths of the Shiverpeaks, forever listening to the crazed calls of humans "LFG Infusion Run." You should have left me to die at the hands of the dread Mursaat. But since you "rescued" me (I'll leave the argument about just who did the rescuing for some other thread) I've redoubled my efforts at finding a suitable match. I have settled for Rurik, as there are clearly no other players (NPC or human) who can match my lust for blood. If only we had been together from the beginning, but no. You, Rurik my love, were cursed to fight Charr, while I pitted my will against those treacherous White Mantle scum. But we have found our common enemy in the evil Stone Summit. May we forever be united in our common hate for their foul hides!

Elennia

By the way, no way I would have let that dragon-riding puke take you out at the Frost Gate...

That is so not true! I can't believe he's telling people that again, when everyone knows the reason he gets off his drunk arse and runs with humans at all is because he's out of beer money again...

Just watch. If you act nonchalant-like, you'll see him sneaking a cut of the purse.

Yelling is out of the question. I'm shy.

And if I don't run out to where you humans can see me doing my job, I get accused of "bad pathing", whatever that is--I think it means "to not be standing where I can be seen doing my healing thing." So I adjust accordingly. You have no idea how hard it is to please everyone.

As far as Vengeance goes, I have a skill called Warping. You use yours, I use mine.

I'm not sure what gravity is holding, but it certainly is not any of the henchmen, as seen in one of the previous posts. As for modeling, this is my first appearance in an RPG world so I haven't really worked with the UI... oh. You didn't say modding.

What exactly was the question?

Zyndaar · May 26, 2005, 07:04 PM // 19:04

I for one am very glad the henchmen offer their services so freely.
Thank you.

They are a far superior fighting unit then alot of the humans.
I have yet to hear any of them fighting amongst themselves.
The majority of the time they wait for me and follow my lead.
They have kept me alive at the risk of their own lives countless times.
They throw themselves into the fray without hesitation.
They have proven themselves time and time again.

I just found this thread otherwise I would have posted this in here instead...
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...57&postcount=1

So lets hear it for the henchmen...
for as the screenshots in my other thread show they are not merely "henchmen", they are DRAGONSLAYERS!
