You know what to do guys...

Show off your characters, your armour, your weapons, janky funny shit that's happened to you, awesome jaw-dropping scenery and architecture. All that good stuff!

If you want to take really high resolution images (7680x4320), then check out the screencap keybinds and take a look at the high res option, also remember to hold down shift to remove the UI.

Only got those two so far.

The game really does have some really amazing scenery. The cities especially are just amazing to explore and feel really alive.

I think I've found a way to enjoy this game.

Unfortunately Slab Bulkhead and Blast Hardcheese were taken.

Boots only? Sounds like a party.
I thought this memorial was pretty awesome.

The auto attack on lightning dagger is awesome
#14 Posted by Xyber (287 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

Shit is crazy.

#15 Posted by Benny (1608 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

Some famous faces and scenery...

More to come.

#16 Posted by Dark_Lord_Spam (2512 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

Ugggh, I can't wait until the income for my new PC comes in. These screens are incredible.

#17 Posted by Aus_azn (2223 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

Is it just me or does this game look terrific for an MMO?

#18 Posted by arch4non (354 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

Why don't more games have this amazing feet positioning technology?

Damn near everyone is a human? What about the kitty people?! Only one user? I demand more!

@arch4non: If your non-enjoyment is turning into a grudge, then I'd suggest you stop playing the game and not follow these forums.

This i my thief gal. I also have an Elementalist that I should get some screenshots of. So far I'm liking the thief much more.

It looks like a painting.
Woo
#27 Posted by arch4non (354 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

@Dark_Lord_Spam: Why would you even say that? More games need to do the feet thing I posted.

Funky Student Mage. Well, I never.

#31 Posted by WinterSnowblind (7343 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

I got some fancy winter blue dye, which I think looks really great on guardian armour. I also have to praise the game for not making all female characters look like strippers.. Even if some of the elementalist armour is a bit silly.

Done quite a bit of the charr story today too, which is really great. Much more interesting than the human stuff.

Almost feel like a traitor, playing as a charr in the ruins of Ascalon!

Nice view, with diving board!
Underwater looks good
Looks like Liam Neeson... Named him Henry Ducard (http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0000199/)

@arch4non: My bad. I had taken a brief look at your picture and figured you were being mean-spirited. I see what you mean now.

I bet this guy has a riddle or two to tell.

That does not look right.
#38 Edited by Adamsons (876 posts) - 1 year, 18 days ago

Dat crit chance.

Edit - one more:

@Xyber: Where did you get that greatsword? It looks awesome. The only skins I've seen of them have been crappy.

#39 Posted by Xyber (287 posts) - 1 year, 18 days ago

@Adamsons: Story quest.

It's as if I'm playing Eye of the North
I didn't know the game was so gory

Game of the Year 2012

Each clone only does 5 damage
Totally fell off a cliff at the end of this mission. I rage quit.

So all the humans still look like supermodels? Great.

In other news, these screenshots are making me very sad. If I didn't know this was Guild Wars 2, I would have assumed it was just another shitty F2P MMO. Sigh.

You should probably play it before you start spouting shit(ty F2P MMO) talk.

That said, my display picture is GW2.

This one's straight up beautiful. From the first Norn camp. Captions are being weird, so I'll just put the first caption here... "My pants lost all durability and broke when I was fighting that FUCKING shaman asshole. Even in freezing cold, Alf stays badass."

You guys don't know how much it pains me that this was only a weekend thing, I've never gotten as deep into an MMO as I did these past 3 days.
