Curse

We have a few joke skills in the game such as the paragon's "It's just a flesh wound!" and the warrior's "Headbutt" skill inspired by Zidane at the world cup. Well what about a new warrior skill called "This! Is! KRYTA!"

I have no idea what it could do. I haven't really thought of something that'd make this skill worth having. Maybe it could improve your armour slightly or heal you for each condition on you. I just thought that the community would enjoy a new joke name for a skill.

sorry, I've had it with jokes... a few is ok... but this would just be too much.

Surena · Jun 21, 2007, 05:40 AM // 05:40

Please let the hype wear off, we don't need to cater 300 nerds any more.

Vilaptca · Jun 21, 2007, 05:44 AM // 05:44

I think it would be a shout that knocks down your target opponent.

Serenitude · Jun 21, 2007, 06:44 AM // 06:44

Make it a Paragon skill.

Give the Paragons some sort of nude armor, just boot's and your Guild's cape showing.

Make a Corinth helmet.

Then all 12 million 13 year olds who made Paragons with "Leonidas" somehow worked into the the name, but only played them 2 weeks, may return in droves. Could be the biggest thing to hit Para's since TntF ;-)

Government Flu · Jun 21, 2007, 06:55 AM // 06:55

Look, I enjoyed watching 300. Perhaps even more so than Sin City. But I've had enough of seeing the hundreds of "Leonidas" characters roaming the worlds of Guild Wars. It's either Spartan this or Leonidas that or blah blah blah...

I'd prefer more obscure pop culture references, but to be honest, an RPG that is riddled with too many skills named after famous quotes, songs or actors...starts to make the game just feel silly.

Komes I · Jun 21, 2007, 06:59 AM // 06:59

It would be bad idea. Too much jokes are not good.

Milennin · Jun 21, 2007, 08:20 AM // 08:20

We already have the "This is Hard Mode!" thing.=P

Mr. G · Jun 21, 2007, 08:51 AM // 08:51

Monty Phyton, the seventh god of Tyria, hates you.

There are NEVER enough jokes.

But the truth is that the 'This is Hard Mode' is the reference for this. So no need to add more.

Let's look for another different joke...

...Like a ritualist skill that makes a loud farting noise. That would be rather amusing.

Anyone who has ever seen Airplane! will realize that more (good) jokes = more fun.

Government Flu · Jun 21, 2007, 11:15 AM // 11:15

Yes, but then you see Airplane! 2, and you realize that too many "good" jokes can cluster into a steaming pile of trash that's been left out to rot for too long. So while we have lots of neat pop culture references in the game, we should also realize that this RPG isn't a satire nor a parody of another adventure.

Guys, let's face it. When GW:EN comes out, we'll get plenty of new skills with interesting references to movies and famous quotes, so let's be patient. Anyway, that's my final opinion on the matter.

Or if perhaps people were actually RELIABLE in hard mode, we'd not have to do the whole "Let's solo the game, yet again!" and maybe actually enjoy hard mode. Maybe. Not that I have my hopes up on that because it's far faster for me to hench a mission than it is to get lucky finding at least one other skilled person on hard mode OR normal mode. But yeah! You're right! I'll go play hard mode. I could do with the laugh.

"Blasphemy!"

Red · Jun 21, 2007, 03:45 PM // 15:45

:x another sparta reference.
I can see people ragequitting now XD

Hawkeye · Jun 21, 2007, 03:57 PM // 15:57

Someone needs to make a skill joke thread. Me! Me!

DarkGanni · Jun 21, 2007, 04:06 PM // 16:06

Sure and next we will see warriors with the shout: This is WAMMO!!!, sorry sounds a dumb idea to me.

Thomas.knbk · Jun 21, 2007, 04:09 PM // 16:09

Seriously, 300 wasn't that good. Get over it.

tenshi_strife · Jun 21, 2007, 05:22 PM // 17:22

i think what would be a better is a paragon shout

"Use the force!"
5E, 2 sec cast, 30 second recharge

the next spell cast by all other allies within earshot costs 1...5...8 less energy.

i dont think there are enough starwars references.... well probably cause this is a fantsy game not a sci-fi :P
