I know - it's painful to watch! The death animations in GW2 are often very amusingly done but there's a point where they become almost bad taste and I think this might go past it.
It all started when I logged my then-level 74 Engineer in and found him in the tough part of Frostgorge where I'd logged out after Jormag. He had a daily to do and there were rabbits all around... it just kind of span out of control from there.
Elems have some funky finishers, at first I didn't even notice. I don't think its necessarily bad; death is too trivialized in MMOs. I mean...we don't even consider it killing anymore when we 'grind' hundreds of mobs. Somehow thats weird, hm.
But but...whhhyyyyyyyyyyy ???! =(
ReplyDeleteI actually cringed at every single shot. I need to stop anthropomorphizing virtual rabbits...

DeleteI cackled madly on some of the most poignant death scenes.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering about MYSELF, now.

ReplyDeleteI'll kill the odd rabbit for daily kill variety... but, man, watching them slump over and squeak in that video.. I kept going "Awww, poor rabbit :(".
We <3 you all the same. :)
