if im right we get night during halloween in la/kama and during cny in sjm i think.

Doesn't make sense...but i guess it had to do cause if it happens the realistic way, i would never be able to complete the mission
Chosen one's senses are keener. They don't see so far. So they can't know you are killing their allies.

In our world is rather big, but nothing says 'square' can measure a smaller size for something flat.

The other statues are not mursaat. They are sparks of the titans. They look like fire imps, not like mursaat.

Tonics only make you look like a a creature, and may change the clothing, but not weapons.
Also, only the Asura Summons carry the Fuchsia Staff, and they are just copies that look like them like Polymock pieces.
Mursaat carry random generic staves of their profession.

She was given that power, she understood that and so she sacrificed herself to contain the explosion.

They were not chosen ones. They can't be resurrected once they die.

Actually, you pay to learn the skill. Or learn it from a book. They just skip the time learning, since that would just be boring.
We also skip most meals, bathroom visits, sleeping...

When they throw you rocks, that should be blunt, piercing or slashing.
When they smash you, that should be blunt...
Why naming it differently?
Because you can have magical properties in your gear or skill effects that protect you from damage of 'Earth' nature. So, even if a rock would give you blunt damage, a rock thrown with earth magic won't break or stop by protection against blunt damage, since earth magic is holding it together and moving it. You would be protected better against it with protection vs 'earth damage'.

It actually gives a small chance to miss or stray with projectile skills, even spells. Much smaller than with weapons, though. You can try in the isle of the nameless, get next to the Student of Blind, and cast flare in the Student of Disease. The Flares will go slightly to the right or left, while they'll go directly to the target when you are not blind.
They'll hit anyways if the target doesn't move, so blindness only really make a bit easier to miss with proyectile skills when they target moving foes.

Don't try to make sense of all skills. You'll head will end up hurting.


Aw... this is getting kind of long... I'll continue another day.

Next thing that makes no sense: why is the jade sea not flooded? It's been years since the sea itself got turned into jade, so by now, lots of new rainfall should have accumulated. Hell, Kanaxai should have drowned.

Oh, and how did the jade sea fish manage to instantly adapt to air-breathing? (yeah, yeah, cause the magic hit them too)

How is it that a target standing on the rail of a bridge is invulnerable to projectile weapons? Which leads to the next question, why have they never fixed this bug?

Also who cares about being friend-zoned by Gwen, when Tahlkora is still young and single?

Why did they make so many changes in the UW and other areas to limit solo farming, but still leave SF as it is?

How can Dhuum breakout, but Menzies is dead quiet? Not to mention he has the weaker of the two armies in my opinion.

Instead of making him a paragon, why didn't they just keep Keiran with his special quest skills? A little jolt to mess with the meta would be welcome at this point.

Why were the Mursaat such jerks to the humans? They would have gotten everything they wanted without offing Saul. They also wouldn't have had to worry about the main hero wiping their race from the Earth. Lastly they had warning from the Flameseeker Prophecies.

On that same note, where do the "Summon Mursaat" mursaats come from, and ever notice that they die when time is out?
One Asura with Summon Mursaat could have completed prophecies while sitting in his chair at Rata Sum.

In the world of Guild Wars people have different metabolisms. They just work differently. They can eat all the sugary food they want, drink enough to burn through two real human livers, and never think twice about it. They don't even get hangovers.

Go look around Ascalon again. None of those effigies look like sparks. They even have the same "wings" as the Mursaat. I'm sure it's a matter of Anet making them and adding without thinking about the lore beforehand.

I always found it strange that we, as the hero, are required to basically commit genocide. Specifically, the Mursaat helped save the only human nation (Kryta) from being slaughtered by the Charr, whereas Ascalon and Orr both fell in one way or another. Their only price was that we sacrifice some chosen to recharge the blood-stones in order to keep the titans from escaping and wreaking havok on all of Tyria. Then we enter in on the scene. We don't like what's going on, so instead of trying to find an alternative way to keep the blood stones charged, or a plan for dealing with the titans, we decide its easier to wipe out the ENTIRE Mursaat species, let out the titans and then (if we felt like it) deal with them later. Also, Glint, the wise protector, is totally fine with this. Couldn't we have used the help of the Mursaat against the Charr, or even against the Elder Dragons (which as it turns out Glint is well aware of and opposed to)?


Also, where did the Ascalonians get all the stone to build the great northern wall? I never saw any stone quarries anywhere nearby the Shiverpeaks are a bit far.


Finally, why can't a character from one profession not wear clothing associated with another? Maybe he'd look weird, but why is it physically impossible for my warrior to put on a mesmer mask? (etc.)

Why, after so many years of offering their services, are the henchies still around? They. Are. So. RETARDED o.O You'd have thought they would've quit by now...or got the sack from their henchman guild.

Sorry to poke a hole in your theory, but you are forgetting the 100s of monster enemies that can resurrect each other.

This always bugged me too. I was always hoping that the continuation of the Prophecies story would put the Mursaat in more of a morally grey role rather than being the silent has-been bosses of the world who are now just pincushions.

Are you kidding? They have more gold and greens and loot than all the GW heroes combined! Think about it. Your one hero leaves town with four of them most of the time!

I've always wondered why only your immediate party gets resurrected at shrines while some NPC's somehow magically res themselves??? (And at full health and energy)

What's the point of Confessor's Orders when we've already got White Mantle Emblems and Badges?

Why can't Medals of Honor be traded when their input (War Supplies) and output (Weapons) are fine?

Oh and another one:
What do the heroes/henchies do with their share of the money? I mean it's not like Dunkoro invites us over to his new crib by the Elona river now, is it?
And why didn't they incorporate stealing in this game? I would've loved to steal from my heroes and make them all poor
