Guild Wars 2

[Icepaw]

This is my and my son's head canon that Tybalt and Almorra both survive, and I won't have it any other way~

This is a head canon I can support as yeah I adored both these two as well and them living rather than what the story had happen is much nicer. I...still need to get my paws on a Tybalt mini at some point

Of all the characters that I have met and journeyed together, Almorra is the onky one that sticks with me the most. Rytlock, Rox and maybe others... I dunno, don't really much of a connection with them. Not to mention, I think that regardless of the order you joined back at the base game, Almorra is still with you.

As for my son, he has a major crush on Tybalt... and was equally heartbroken when Tybalt died. My son told me, there'd only been very few times he felt so connected and attached to a character before, and Tybalt is one of said few times~

On another note one thing I'm having a hard time figuring out is how many Agony infusion +1 do I need to snag to make a agony infusion +18 I think it was... farthest I've built is like an 8 but I'm trying to make I think it was a 18 as they sell for boat loads on the market and the agony +1 are dirt cheap. Sadly fearing it's a fool's errand but the idea of having all that gold just seems amazing as I'd be able to buy the two legendary blades I want for certain characters of mine

Edit: Nvm ...google did math for me and I'd need over 130k+ agony +1 to make the +18.... I'd probably go bankrupt in game just making the one

Turns out my Guardian (Almorra in this case) still has Dragon Stand (Heart of Thorn) not completed yet... well, better get to it then I guess. I'd need to complete the meta events of Auric Basin and Dragon Stand in order to get the items for the Warmaster Pack collection, so I can complete all Vigil equipment for her.

I already blew up so damn much money just for all the Vigil armor and weapons to get the skin... but, well, fashion is always one of endgame goals (lol).

Kinda funny when my guardian is in the same location with the actual Almorra, though. So, I turn on helmet visibility and dye armor to different colors to tell the two apart.

 

[Icepaw]

Yeah I still gotta get the warmaster pack for my guardian as well but I hate that forest. It might be kinder now that my skyscale can ride leylines but idk how much. Also rather sad atm...my headset broke and I gotta wait for a replacement which won't be here till the second. Not my night it seems but I'm also currently running my guardian through secrets of the obscure and I'm nailing down more of the achievements I missed last time so...not a terrible night I suppose

Heart of Thorn is brutal without the dragon mount... I certainly did NOT have a good time in that messy forest with my guardian, that's for sure.

Although, I took a break from my guardian for a change, with my engineer yesterday, to get the hero points for the Holosmith elite spec. I'll give it a shot once I get it fully trained, it looks pretty fun~

 

[Icepaw]

Holosmith also gives you a lightsaber so that in itself is rather cool. I've taken to having my characters wear each piece of their hero spec armor whether they are that spec or not as idk they just seem weird for other characters to wear them instead. So my engineer has the welding mask of the scrapper and mechanist gloves but I've yet to get the holosmith shoulders as I haven't gotten the points for it yet. On another note it's nice Guild Wars 2's developers aren't cold and cruel on April fools day unlike WoW, I complain about the WoW joke on their forum and i got gagged for the day so...yeah that's annoying. Glad I've basically given up on that game as Guild Wars 2 is so much more fun than the lagfest that is WoW these days

The mere fact that you gotta pay monthly just to play is already a big weird idea to me already... and my son complains that the armors and clothes are just literally DRAWN on the character model, which is another big oof. Another thing is people complaining that as soon as there is a new expansion, all your current equipment is obsolete, and you're just left behind. I don't remember much of the actual gameplay, only played like... an hour at best ? But I remember very well the notif "facing wrong direction". They can't even just make your character automatically turn around to face the target ? Sheesh.

And, what's the WoW joke, and how much of a dumpster fire did you get yourself into ? I'm... weirdly curious.

The joke was about worgen players asking for an optional tail.... their fake patch notes trash talked everyone but no more worse than worgen calling the tail ugly and unsightly and the like, which fanned the flames of all the trolls on the forums who've been talking crud about worgen players asking for the option of a tail as worgen's actual wolf form has barely any options. I mentioned that wow the guy who wrote that needs to be fired and they duct taped my mouth shut in the wow forums for that line. The game's unoptimized trash that I can't do any group content without the entire game crashing on me but I say ANYTHING about how they could fix it and I get my mouth taped shut. Honestly thinking of canceling my subscription to WoW at this point..Guild wars 2 is so much kinder and runs beautifully.

look up the patch notes on the site

"Fixed a bug where Worgen characters unintentionally had a strange wagging appendage that looked like it grew from the bottom of their spine. We apologize to anyone who was grossed out by this."

Yeah that's a bit way too far for me... they're freaking werewolves, what's wrong with having a tail ?

As for the game being unoptimized ? My son said it took him a whole freaking hour just for the damn game to launch, and the graphic looks more outdated than GW2 (did I mention the armors sometimes look like they're drawn on the actual character model ?).

I would honestly recommend canceling your subscription to be honest. I don't see any reason you need to pay monthly for a game like this, it's just unnecessary pressure at the back of your mind. Even if the game is absolutely awesome, smooth and without any lag, I'm not paying monthly for it. I much prefer to play the game whenever I feel like it, not having to play it so I don't waste the money I paid.
