Good Morning Friends! Yesterday we got the announcement of the first expansion in the new #GuildWars2 content model. I am so freaking excited about Secrets of the Obscure and I talk a bit about some of the features discussed.
A painting of my #GW2#charr#mesmer. I wish I had time to play her more often! She's spec'ed as a #chronomancer, which is probably still my favorite mesmer specialization.
Still learning how this site works! Thanks to everyone who's taken a look at my art, I appreciate it & hope to spend more time here!
Good Morning Friends! This weekend I set aside my #ARPG grinds for a bit and picked back up #GuildWars2 working on getting my #Ranger caught up with the content. This weekend I finished out Living World Season 2 and #HeartOfThorns ultimately stopping last night when I hit Bloodstone Fen.
It is fine. It also challenges players to be creative and patient in solving the obstacles to reach places.
It is why, many of us core #GuildWars2 players often recommends for new players to play the core game without gliding and any mounts even if they can unlock it already. This teaches the players how #GW2 works, especially when it comes to jumping puzzles and hard to reach places.
Oftentimes, in Guild Wars 2 at least, maps and puzzles made with flying in mind, were made similarly the way the early maps (without mounts) were made: make it very challenging that will require the player to be creative and fire up all those neurons in their brains.
And gliding is a perfect halfway through full-blown flying (as #WorldOfWarcraft offers). You still have to be creative and use those neurons.
To sideline, GW2 doesn't exactly have a full-blown flying mount like #WoW. The next step in “flying” after gliding, is the Gryphon. It's very fast “gliding” mount. Like gliding, Gryphon mounts work best when you are up high, so you can enable its speed mode (which is technically the fastest in the game).
Then the Skyscale mount is the best flying mount in GW2, which is still not a full-blown flying mount. You can't just fly all you want, you still have to find ways to climb because the Skyscale's stamina is limited. The higher you go, the faster it is consumed, and the less the Skyscale can store.
If #Palia will introduce something similar to GW2's mounts, then gliding is a very good start to practice. Just like in GW2, gliding was the first form of flying before the Gryphon and Skyscale were introduced.
So, yes, it is good to have gliding. It is also a good sign that the devs will not introduce a full-blown flying mount the way WoW did.
The Plush Raptor skin for Guild Wars 2 was suuuuuuper fun to make. I looked up all sorts of patterns and materials and colours to use to try and maximize the cuteness and make it look very handmade.
Unfortunately, I can't show all the early experiments, but they were all so cute
Well let me try this again, again, again here's hoping I stick around this time. This is my #intro/#introductions

Morning Folks! Last night I got everything ready for the #PathOfExile private league we are doing for #Affliction and then this morning I crafted my very first #GuildWars2 legendary weapon thanks in part to the Wizard's Vault.
I'm Rachel (she/her), a 28-year-old from the UK. I'm a software developer, but you won't really catch me posting anything programming related. I do plenty of #gaming in #ffxiv#gw2#GenshinImpact and #HonkaiStarRail. If I'm not doing that I'm playing or running #pathfinder and #dnd and doing my best to throw together some #worldbuilding ^^
Although I've been slacking a bit recently, I enjoy reading mostly #fantasy and #scifi#books.
Morning Folks! This is a bit of a round-up post as I talk about restarting #BaldursGate3 as a Ranger, properly starting the #GW2 SOTO Expansion, and then my daily process of chipping away at my backlog of jobs in #FFXIV
Happy Lunar New Year! Wanted to do something small to celebrate - no requirements, just check the screenshot and it's open to whoever claims them first. 400 each (800 total).
I wish you luck and happiness during the Year of the Dragon!
Good Morning Friends! This morning I talk about #GW2 and the existential problem facing aging MMORPGs of having a clear point where the story content massively improves. Please note, this post is going to have some story spoilers for #GuildWars2 up through #PathofFire as a result, but does dive into some broader #MMORPG topics.
Yeah so... I am getting scatterbrained lately. I just realized that I did not actually share my morning post.
Basically this morning I talked about wrapping up the final Challenge in #PathOfExile that I planned on going for... my hunt for the Cat Chair in #GW2 that I literally just posted a picture of getting... and my thoughts about the #Diablo4 season start.
Good Morning Friends! Yesterday I left off in my chronological play through of #GuildWars2 content with landing on the airship in Bloodstone Fen. Last night I finsihed up that zone and all of Ember Bay and end the night about to start Bitterfrost Frontier.
@massivelyop I don't like the "endgame" concept because what's endgame? level cap? raiding? at which tier? Are dailies endgame?
Plus, I like MMORPGs that are about the journey (#LOTRO, #TSW)
That said, I liked the #GW2 approach that let you experience some of the "endgame" content (mostly the PvP/WvW experience) while still lower level (I did most of my levelling there...)
