Imagine the Pact surprised Pikachu face if Zhaitan, the Elder Dragon of Undeath, revived after getting killed

Finally finished the OG story start in GW2! I admit I got emotional when ‘Fear not this Night’ faded in :’)

I don't think we give Star Trek Online enough credit for having a whole species selection category that lets you just make up your own Alien or, in my case (and I'm sure many others) make an character from a species from another universe's continuity via the 'Alien' option. it's REALLY cool that you can make like a Chiss for example in Starfleet and then have fun with your own headcannons and backstory making (if you so wish) of the Chiss existing in the Star Trek universe and how they joined starfleet etc etc and you can do that with so many others!! I've seen people make Zabraks, I've given making a Sith Pureblood a try and I'm sure you could make Mirialans or so many others from star wars - and thats only star wars, you could make a Narn from B5 or an Asari aproximation from Mass effect.

not to mention any of the more obscure star trek species currently without an official option.

yes it's only so far as how many options you have to work with (which for such an old game is actually an impressive amount) but even having that much is really honestly cool - I want to make so many AU characters of other universe's species but in Star trek universe now.

more MMOs and the like should do this I think.

criminal we don't have an MMO for Mass Effect like Star Trek Online has (or SWTOR)

GW2 AU where you befriend Balthazar instead of killing him.

Like, no one will annoy the Commander anymore because there’s a big furious god right behind them who’s 1000% ready to throw hands. At first, the Commander’s his only friend, but then all the guild manage to befriend him, especially Rytlock and Canach. But just the Guild. To everybody else, he is very scary. Imagine the chaos…… >:3c

(You also befriend Balthazar’s cute sword and sometimes it follows you ♥️)

And that also solve everything bad : no one die (the commander, Vlast, Aurene, …), Kralkatorrik doesn’t get a boo-boo to his tummy, Joko ain’t free, you can go straight to Jormag and stop Braham’s bullshit, Aurene has a childhood, etc etc.

The only inconvenience is that you don’t meet the Judge, who’s a very nice guy.

Like come on Anet, I play RPG to befriend enemies, not to kill them!

Def the best comment, no one can beat that ^

I would buy that @guildwars2​ !!

Trahearne calls an emergency meeting in his office. 

[zhaitansvisage]

I love the raiment of the Lich outfit for making Satyr-ish characters but WHY does it look more like a costume and has high heels for the female human/norn/sylvari??? 😭

[zhaitansvisage]

hey, so why does Anet keep killing off the cool & interesting characters?

[icebrooding]

one of my favourite bits is just when Trahearne goes full autism and starts rambling about his special interest, and then I'm like 'yeah, me too my guy, me too'

[zhaitansvisage]

I like Trahearne, he’s neat :3

Zhaitan but BABY

[ratasum]

I think there were probably sea shanties that have only existed in Tyria for the last 100-150 years, all about Zhaitan raising Orr from beneath the sea.

Lion's Arch, old Lion's Arch, was rebuilt and founded by pirates and brigands. Many of these people probably lost friends and loved one when Orr rose, or witnessed it themselves and barely escaped with their lives (y'know, like Cobiah Marriner himself).

Songs about always being wary of the Dead Ships. Drinking to forget the eyes of the Risen shining beneath the waves.

Hell, songs about the Maw attacking Lion's Arch.

I can't write music to save my own life but if I could I'd absolutely play around with this idea.

Jade wind jackals… I don’t know much about Cantha. But what I remember is Shiro Tagachi’s Jade wind (thanks to Revenant’s Legends). And this fast sketch happened. Enjoy Shiro and pack of crazed jade wind jackals.
