THE ADDITIONAL 30 DAYS OF GUILD WARS 2

Day 59. Recommend something fun to do in-game! It can be anything from a specific kind of dungeon run to Rata Sum wall surfing. :)

Super Adventure Box! I know that it’s not always there (but hopefully coming back soon), but if you missed it the first time, be sure to play it when new content is released. I can’t praise it highly enough (though I am an old skool gamer, so YMMV).

To go out

Dude I’m so afraid

Not GW2… but reblog for one of my favorite videos of all time. Ironically, I just shared this with my sister the other day, so we’re always quoting it lately when we talk and party up in games. XD

This video made me go out and buy Amnesia. Well worth the little money it cost.

Day 58. Show some love to the GW2 Tumblr community, and recommend some of your favorite GW2 blogs.

I watch too many blogs and have made too many Tumblr friends to answer this question without fear of leaving someone out. I don’t say this lightly, but I think the GW2 community on Tumblr is a really amazing and talented group of people. This is the first (and pretty much only) Tumblr fandom I’ve been a part of, and there’s too many awesome blogs to list.

Instead, here’s my like page. You’ll find a ton of great Tumblrs there, many of which I sincerely like and respect. Thanks for being amazing, guys!

asuralations:

SUCCESS!

Once I get the QR code maker, I’ll post them. In the meantime, I’ll work on a Snaff and Kudu version. I forgot to take a screenshot of the up close version with with completed arm, but I got it done.

Very cool! We should exchange friends codes sometime! :)

Day 57. What would be your Number 1 pick for a new playable race (again, doesn’t have to be plausible)?

My answer remains skritt. Though I’d love to see tengu or centaur playable races, as well. I don’t see the need to create a new race simply because GW2 has more than enough official races to pick from.

Day 56. Let’s get creative: if you could create a new profession, what would it be like? (Realism & plausibility be damned, let your imagination fly!)

No imagination here. I want my Dervish back!

Well, maybe with a tweak to the playstyle. I was never a huge fan of the enchantment thing… I just wanted to run around and beat on monsters with a scythe. Give me my scythe back, please, Anet! : <

PS. Not a scythe skin. A REAL scythe. Melee weapon. Yes.

Day 55. Have you read the novels written to close some of the gap between GW1 and GW2 (Ghost of Ascalon, Edge of Destiny)?

Yep. I read them both last summer while I was waiting for GW2 to release. If you’re someone who enjoys lore, I’d suggest them. They’re not classical literature quality, but not bad books, either. Quick, light reads.

Day 54. If the game mechanics allowed you to side with the Nightmare Court, the Inquest, the Bandits, the Flame Legion, or the Sons of Svanir, would you?

Probably not. I think the rival-type factions for each race is cool, but not something I’ve ever had an itch to play. Then again, I’m a goody two shoes. :)

The only draw that would have for me is if there’s some really awesome lore I could pick up by playing an alternate faction story line. I’d play it then, but I’m still not convinced that I could get into the mindset and philosophy of the “other side.”

THE ADDITIONAL 30 DAYS OF GUILD WARS 2

Day 53. What are your impressions on the living story so far?

I really like the concept of the living story idea. I do, however, think Anet is experimenting and learning about what works and what doesn’t, even up to the most recent events. I don’t remember another game off the top of my head that’s successfully run this sort of update schedule, especially not one that’s free.

I like seeing the small, subtle changes to the game, and enjoy how one story builds on another, referencing back to previous characters. I always try to get in there and play through the story line, even if I don’t always enjoy all the achievements. It’s great to have ongoing, developing lore on a steady basis.

I do wish a few more things remained permanent, though. It seems sad that all this art, coding and development go into temporary assets. It does sound like the dev team is looking at ways to bring permanence to upcoming content, or at least reuse some existing resources to hopefully cut down on dev time.

Got the mini holographic risen knight from a coffer drop last night. It’s not wings, but it’s the first mini drop I’ve seen in the game pretty much ever. Yes, I’m that unlucky, I guess. XD
