Does anyone else wanna just be a nobody?

Just curious, is anyone else excited to just be a nobody in this game? Like you're not the champion, the savior, the godkinghero... is anyone else just excited to be something as mundane as a guard... or a mercenary.... or a farmer.... etc like you don't even have to be someone who goes out and kills monsters to contribute to the success of whatever territory you commit to.

That's just amazing to me. Looking forward to being a nameless guard. Specifically a py'rai guard in a py'rai node. Where I'll actually be able to be a guard who doesn't just stand there all day every day (maybe some days) but who will actually see action by just being there and being available. No statues made in my honor, no main characters pulling me into their drama, just a nameless guard. Love it.

Oh, i CAN'T WAIT to be away from :

" Ohhh, Champion !! Now, "finally" You are here !! Now Azeroth is saved. And alternate Draenor, too !! And the Afterlife, too !! And the Dragon-kill-Mafurion-off-Islands, too !!

Thanks the Titans you came !! Are you going to wipe our butts for us, too ?? We're so helpless without You ! "
( No kidding i can hear this in Magni's Voice )

It was okay around/until/after Cata in WoW -> but i noticed how later on, We - The Player - were written like we are this mysterious, nigh unstoppable Force - that will tip the Scales into our Favor every single Time no matter where we arrive at.

Enough.

ENOUGH of this, Please.

Let me be an Adventurer again. Like back in WoW Vanilla. Let me be Someone who is BARELY better than just be a Murderhobo without a Plan and without a Perspective. (lol)

I am not the chosen Hero to slay the Demonlord, Omnissiah or nigh omnipotent Eldritch Gods,

- i am just me.
Just an Adventurer. Just a Member of a Race, Faction, etc.

This was taken from us almost completely for all the Time. I want it back. And i am excited about the Thought of Sir Steven giving it back to me - and to all of us.

I know i am. Just a humble, little Person nearby the Node i prefer, while COMPLETELY COINCIDENTALLY there is some strange Skeletons and/or Zombies running around nearby me, who want to do my bidding ... ... x'D

Nothing to see here, Folks. 😁

I think the "least" we can - or should - be able to do, is taking care of any corrupt Territories and Area's popping up here and there from time to time,

or else something - WILL - without fail, come close to the Gate You are guarding - and a single Guard won't be able to stop it. 😁

You were not a "Champion" like today, you walked on foot until you could afford a meagre +60% walkingspeed mount and you were given the tasks of a mere adventurer.
Cause you were one.

In AoC we will not have flying mounts... but IS calls us glorious adventurers.

Lol the murderhobo part got me.

I'm so glad to see the hype from all my fellow not so special adventurers.

Flying Mounts will be just rare. Like REALLY rare, if i memorize that correctly. Sir Steven just said that You would need to be for Example the Major of a Node or Someone else very important or unique or lucky or so, to have one. Or to be granted one.

If People would for Example be the Leader of a Religion as well - i could imagine these few People to have flying Mounts, too.

Steven creates a society. Some will be rich. The rest will work for them, pay rent and taxes, defend their castles, their freeholds... And we will even have politicians.

Everyone is a hero just by walking through the portal.
If you really wanted to be a nobody, you would have stayed on Sanctus.

Me personally, I would rather be a protector than a hero. I am not looking for renown or notoriety, but would still like to make a positive impact on the world of Vera and Sanctus. Making friends and being connected with the world is the reward to me.

SirChancelot

Just being a good ol' adventurer sounds good to me.

You don't know what my character was doing before the portal and you don't know my intentions after stepping through the portal. That's the beauty of this game, you can't call me a hero if my character is a pirate, jumping peaceful players in the ocean to steal their cargo. This game gives us options

Doesn't really matter. Walking through the portal is considered to be a heroic act - by the game lore.
The people who travel to Verra are considered to be heroes, rather than nobodies...
Might be able to be a nobody if you are a Tulnar who stays in the Underrealm....

You are only a hero if your act of entering the portal is known by the people of Sanctus. If no one knows where you went, and sneak through the portal, by definition you are not a hero. You would be a porter, that's it. The characters of Vera may think you're a hero for arriving in Vera. I agree, you could be a nobody if you're a native of Vera(tulnar). If you do something noble or courageous DO NOT let any one know that you did that thing and you can be a nobody.

Perhaps what players want is to be allowed to adventure where they want, when they want, and not have a quest giver telling you this is the only way you can adventure or have a purpose in Vera.

What if it is a Story with boney friends ? Or Zombie Friends ? Who don't talk to much and manage to work as a Team where most MOBA Players fail embarrassingly in comparison ? lol

I imagine You can be a Freehold-Owner, plus of Course being a "GRANDMASTER" of two Professions there, which You need a Freehold to use the "best"(?) Devices from,

but that doesn't automatically make You an "a~HHHHH", i get it. You will be the Hero of everyone who might need your Service, then.

Or maybe someone ridiculously overpowered will just become a Hero for an Hobby. Probably going to one-shot everything he comes across, just to look at us with the most silly, disorganized Face possible - telling us he has no Clue about what the actual Problems with the Corruption are - and that his Sense of Direction is horrible.

While probably following a easy-sounding Workout-Routine and living in the only Ghost Town ingame. Ohhh, i can see it now.

Oh wait. Wrong Fantasy Universe. 😋

A hero is not the same thing as a saint. And... in this case, we're talking about "nobodies". People who travel through the Portal from Sanctus to Verra are not considered to be "nobodies" by the game lore.
Again... you could also decide your character is an athiest where gods actively roam and influence the world.

You are leaving out the possibility of being an unknown, unacknowledged character. There needs to be a possibility where the character is unknown. There is more than one way to get to Vera. I remember hearing there are 5 divine gateways scattered across Vera. There may also be 5 divine gateways located some where on Sanctus. Each individual divine gateway may be more or less divine than the other 4.

Voxtrium

I have always felt everyone being "THE" somebody meant effectively everyone was nobody.
Personally I aspire to be apart of a group that has a quality name as mercenaries but for the most part to live fight and die in the world of Verra as another player, another cog in the machine. Recently started playing a game called foxhole where everyone is but a cog in the machine. I quite enjoy it.

Only way to reach Verra is through the 4 Divine Gateways.
Each Gateway has an exit for Verra and an exit for Sanctus.
They are all equally divine.

People on Sanctus may not know or care that you left Sanctus.
There will be a bunch of people at the Starting Areas at each Verran Portal who will know who is arriving on Verra.

you messed up my quote, i didnt say that ;-;

AnimusRex

Maybe not exactly a nobody, but I do want to be somewhat naive and not afraid to fail. Roleplaying weakness and flawed characters has mostly kind of disappeared from games.

I'm going to go dark prior to launch and avoid CCs like the plague. I don't want to know the perfect way to build a character or do a quest before I try it myself.

Recapturing a sense of discovery (in all things - not just the physical world, but systems as well) from my early gaming days is still the main thing keeping me in the waiting room.
