Everyone wants Arby's attention on Twitter these days, including, it seems, Guild Wars 2 and ArenaNet. The company challenged Arby's to "make me a sandwich that looks like Rytlock", though once the final product was shown, ANet was told they'd have to "order Sohothin as an extra side".

    Charr are the enemy in GW1 and the first book haven’t read the other 2, now in GW2 they’re playable and heroes?

    Maybe Anet secretly wants Ving Rhames to voice one of their char characters "WE HAVE THE MEATS!" I'd honestly log in again to see a story character say that.

    if you look at the lore, the Flame Legion (the fire charr) were the enemies in GW1. The other Legions in GW2 broke out of the Flame Legion pretty much for their villainy and are also against them.

    I'll never play a charr in GW2, I still hate them all. They remind me of the Searing and poor Lady Althea, but at some point there had to be a group of more civilized charr that saw reason... i guess.

    Arby's social media has been pandering to geek culture for a long time now. It's a really strange marketing campaign that I don't understand. I don't see any particular tie between geeks and Arby's (and have personally always viewed it as more of a bottom-of-the-barrel redneck fast food chain).

    Every single character I've made in GW2 is a Charr. Your loss I guess.

    that's fine. I have 2 Sylvary, 2 humans, 1 asura and like 10 Norns. I tried rolling charr a couple of times and ended up deleting them every time.


    As for Arbys... never tried them before.

    I've seen you making a ton of critical GW2 posts such as:

    -I don't like the scaling
    -Shouldn't have gone f2p
    -Feels too solo


    And you don't know that Charr are playable on a game that released 6 years ago?
    I guess all of your criticism was very well researched considering you apparently never met a Charr player ingame...

    Also I mention before I bought GW2 day one release and yes I know Charr are playable I just don’t get it. I didn’t like they went f2p cause I payed full price and didn’t get anything when they gave for free what I payed that’s bad business on their part. I played ffxiv v1.0 payed for it when 2.0 came out I got legacy from SE meaning I pay about 8$ / month vs new 2.0 players which pay 15$ / month that’s how you do it Arena net screwed us over something they give for free I payed full price and least they should have offered expac half price the very least. Back on topic I played GW1 and Charr were very very hateful enemy so was the first gw book showing them as the worst thing ever yet in GW2 they are respectful race you can play as and among the other races.

    I wouldn't call Charr in GW2 respectful either. I think "pragmatical" suits them best.

    I went there with a friend to try out their limited time "venison" sandwich. It had the appearance, taste, and texture of liver. Fucking gross.

    I actually like Arbys, or maybe just like pouring a lot of Horsey Sauce on it which would make Spam (almost) taste good.

    But a venison sandwich,  the idea is absolutely abhorrant and I don't think even Horsey Sauce could save it.

    maybe if the venison is cut very thing it could work out. In a world where spaghetti sandwich, and avocado and egg empanada exist, a venison sandwich is the last of my worries.

    EDIT: but i've never tried venison, so maybe it has to do with its flavor not going well with bread? idk




  • SamhaelSamhael Member RarePosts: 1,498
    As with any meat, there's several dozen ways to prep it. I've had true redneck made venison sausage and it was spicy and amazing in a biscuit! And on the other end of the spectrum, I once got dragged to a 5-star restaurant (for an uncomfortable family Thanksgiving) and they had venison INSTEAD of turkey. I figured "what the hell" and tried it... and it was totally delicious. In a completely different way though! However, I do find myself doubting that any mass-produced style sandwich from a fast food chain could recapture either of those moments.

    That said, I'd totally try a charr sandwich.

    To sum it up u cry about gw2 pricing and how anet screwed u up with first expansion but then u tell us how u love when u pay for game , pay for expansion and pay monthly fee , hmm rly interesting way of thinking.

    About Charr - look around you and check history of the world u live in u know we had 2 World Wars so i don't see anything strange about Charr they were bad now they are ok u can easy find connection with World Wars for example.

    That's fair. If you've tried them and been disappointed. I can understand that. My wife had the same experience. Then again she likes to be pretty in game lol. So usual won't play the beast races.

    As Spock you should consider GW1 = Original Star Trek and GW2 = ST: Next Generation. Replace Charr with Klingons and no more concerns.
