He made a post on the official forum about his build few days ago. He plays a ventari roamer.

Well, he wasn't my hero before, but now I want to meet him just for the novelty of finding another person who uses Ventari gear.

gear
I think "Ventari Roamer" means he uses the Ventari Revenant legend

I will admit I hadn't thought of that. Ah well.

Well, before they nerfed stances, I played Nomad's warrior. I would run into enemy zergs, drops Winds of Disenchantment, and kite half the team away from the fight. Shield, mace, whatever I could do to survive death.
2
That sounds pretty fantastic, I love hearing stories of people using nomads to be nearly unkillable.

Being an American, I had to google this.

Wait, you dont have Asterix and Obelix over there? :o
77
We do, but it's never been especially popular here.
26
Only french shows I'm aware of in the states are Totally Spies, Martin Mystery, and Wakfu. I'm guessing Obelix predates my 90's-present cartoon repertoire.

Fuck outta here, Martín mystery and totally spies are French shows originally?

In the US it was mostly serialized as newspaper comics, though a few anthologies have been put out over the decades, as early as the early 1970's. Beyond that, the NA region received six video games between 1983-2004 spanning various platforms, but they also never fared well.
This saddens me greatly. We get inundated with Japanese media (and before you say it, I'm not starting an "anti-weeb" rant; I love my fair share of anime, manga, and more), yet we miss out on much of the rest of the world. French alone, I'd love to see just about all Spirou published comics professionally translated (especially Violine, though it'll never happen due to our restrictive "decency" standards).
And you missed Code Lyoko in that cartoon list. Never got the popularity it deserved.

I hadn't even realised they were cartoons. Just remember the comics, used to get them every time we went to the city, in the late 00s. (Scotland). Had no idea there was a show. This post mostly just reminded me of the Obelix comic where he makes a business selling stuff to the Romans. Obelix & Co, that was it.
Would've thought those might have made some sent in the states, we have Gaelic ones lying around schools here.

Wow what a blast! I didn't know about that!
I know that Ankama the studio behind Wakfu/Dofus is invested in animation but not about the others.
I hope that les as de la jungle have the same international coverage, i have to confess that i feel it a bit too funny considering my age

Code Lyoko

We're totally down with it here in Canada.

He might just be too young. My grandpa was already reading them.
2
My brother and watched them repeatedly during our childhood a few decades ago. I’ve been trying to locate them easily for my kids now, but I think they just aren’t as easily accessible in the states.
In true 1980’s fashion, I believe we recorded them on VHS from Disney channel or some other source and then watched the tapes until they wore out.

Those... savages!

Grew up in NA and read these, they were the only comics available in the public library. That, and Tintin. Brings back memories.

Actually hit me square in the nostalgia! Ooof.

Now let me be completely honest. While this is very well done and all it doesn't even lose to touch of art. This is the real art work. https://gw2style.com/look.php?id=13502

that face tough! it's an in-game reconstruction of Gérard Depardieu

This version looks like Liam Neeson.

Time to roll a Druid named Getafix and a potions-based Scrapper named Asterix.

It's Panoramix, I hate when they translate names :/ I mean it's a good pun in English, but overall names shouldn't translated no matter what imho
5
I feel like A&O gets a pass because everyone's names are intended to be puns, and sometimes the pun just doesn't work in the local language. It's been a while since I looked them up, but I remember thinking the various localized names were all pretty clever.
8
Can confirm; I studied in Translation and we eventually had a full topic on the subject of name translating and A&O came up as a generally-accepted example of how it's done right. Sometimes name translating is intended for the idea of localizing which can be a flop, but this time it's really because they're puns; it would be like you didn't translate Ace Attorney names (same case - they're mostly all puns too).

Idefix!!

The title is well picked

everything is perfect in this picture.
he even has idefix

Where is Asterix?
I can't imagine Obelix without Asterix.

Par Toutatis!

This is amazing.

/salute ♥

I've met him in WvW, easily one of the best cosplays I've seen.
2
TIL dogmatix has a different name in some places.
2
That's because dogmatix is the translated name and not the original. Idéfix is the original French. Astérix is one of the few instances where almost every translation has it's own localized names. Understandably so, since the original French names are all puns, but still I think it's wrong
3
I've always wondered if asterix and obelix are better puns in French. I did know about the regionalized names, but was surprised to see people in English referring to French names. I knew other languages had diff names, didn't think other English areas had diff names.
2
Holy shit haha. Is it possible to make an asterix lookalike too in this game?
1
Do we have moustaches for asuras?
9
No, but maybe a short human male could do?
4
I don't know, but the Council Guard heavy helmet and the Glorious heavy helmet both have wings.
2

2
Fantastic :3

But did you send him 5g?

Am I missing a joke? Was there someone from that guild trying to make people send him gold for screenshots?
I guess it's a one-person guild made by this player :)
