Sit around watching football/rugby while screaming GOAAALLLLLLLLL!!! Balthazar anyway!:P
For Grenth - he will be watching Cradle of Filth videos.
For Lyssa - she will be putting makeup on all of her heads.
For Dwayna - pointing at grenth with an angry face.
For Melandru - watering herself.

Man - why do me and my fellow rangers worship a god that waters herself??

Truly, they may have been don interacting with the mortal world, but what the heck do we know, maybe making new worlds? or I would think preparing for the dragons.

If you really want to know what god's do?

Lets just form an 8 man party and beat the crap out of kormir and create a new god
it worked before.

Yeahhh.... Never understood why Kormir got to be god. She just stands there and watches.... Oh wait she was blind....... So she stands there following our voices not knowing where the hell she's going and by coincidence she absorbs all of Abadon"s power? C'mon it was all us we killed him we deserve to be gods.

Okay... But does the booklet or lore say anything about what they did while they were in Tyria? If dragons are more powerful than the Gods then obviously the gods aren't omnipotent so the Gods probably didn't create humans and charr and all those things. So what did they do? Nothing.

Biostem · Jan 20, 2008, 04:34 AM // 04:34

Yeah... it basically seems to boil down to the gods being powerful people (creatures?) that were power hungry, and took advantage of an opportunity presented to them to attain some self-proclaimed godhood.

It's really too bad - I was hoping there was more "substance" to them...

Although it's true that the in-game lore says the gods shaped the world and brought magic to Tyria, stories will always have embellishments and become more skewed in order to fit into the context of that time period's traditional views.
Giganticus Lupicus were said to be the original life on Tyria long before the gods. But what happened to them?

It's entirely possible to find out later that the gods are not how Tyrian script portrays them as.

the gods could provide GW 1 with new title track and/or more mini mission pack.

get on the good side of your preferred god and/or gods and when ever you are in their territory, you can switch on the related god's title to gain the extra bonus or whatever.

Does anyone remember the god statues in Augury Rock?
I know it's during the fight with doppleganger and not easy to see because you are in a fight, but there are statues of Melandru, Grenth, Lyssa and Balthazar.
Each statue is in an alcove with runes and have 2 paths leading upwards to 2 more alcoves with runes. So there are 8 smaller empty alcoves in total.

Absolutly. GW is very badly developed when it comes to Gods.

From the trojan war: "The gods were very angry over the destruction of their temples and other sacrilegious acts by the Acheans, and decided that most would not return home." and "Ajax the Lesser, who had endured more than the others the wrath of the Gods, never returned. His ship was wrecked by a storm sent by Athena, who borrowed one of Zeus' thunderbolts and tore it to pieces. The crew managed to land in a rock, but Poseidon struck it, and Ajax fell in the sea and drowned."

So,when a game needs to be good developed there need to be Gods who do all the work?

No, they should be more involved, looking at the end of Nightfalls here. The end of Factions was more like it should be. The celestial skills were powerful enough, that I makes it believable the Gods help and support you.

Or there should be no gods at all! Having gods, is always a tricky thing in a game.

guildwars is textbook case stargate, many aspects that are in guildwars came from stargate.

examples:
gods(as in the false gods, the goa'uld)
ascension(become more powerful, a higher state of being)
asura gate(well they are both round portal gates)

they are obviously not true gods because they can die as evident by old ones get knocked off, new ones rise to power, same thing with the goa'uld.
dhuum - grenth
abaddon - kormir

and then there are minorlings aka menzies who is brother to balthazar

think of the gods of gw as the systemlords like in stargate hehe

anyway whoever came up with the gw storyline must be a stargate nut like me.
