Guild Wars 2 is an online RPG developed by ArenaNet, and continues the subscriptionless business model of the original Guild Wars. The game is set about 250 years after the events of its predecessor in a world devastated by the ancient elder dragons resurfacing after millennia of slumber.

Bombshell Bunny - Engineer Brewslayer - Warrior Obelle Digitalis - Thief Bolton Tickertocker - Elementalist Finally got around to fill out the ranks for some sPvP goodness. Bombshell Betty was taken - sadly. Bombshell Bunny will do. Surprised Brewslayer was available. Though the more time I spent on thinking about playing another character, the less I wanted to. I'll just end up doing everything with my main character, Oddo Trueflight - the Charr Ranger - and hop into a game of sPvP every now and then with another profession.

Waiting on the Shatterer... glorious idea while waiting... shift + mouse 3 for shooting screenies... the following madness ensues... enjoy the Shatterer fight as shot by Oddo Trueflight... Finally - even an oversized chicken is but a chicken... ...and flies its true colors as it takes flight to escape ultimate defeat The current balancing on The Shatterer fight just doesn't scale all the way up to the 100+ people currently farming this thing. Gameplay-wise, I was quite disappointed by this circumstance the first time around. Doing a Pokemon Snap session however? Fun-friggin'-tasticly awesome.
Really hope these types of open world fights will get more tightly balanced, with a real chance of defeat spicing the whole affair up a notch.
So, did the Kol Skullsmasher world boss today... twice. I was liking Guild Wars 2, but *this* is what elevated to one of my favourite experiences this year. Ridiculously fun, crazy and just exhilarating to be part of - Have some screenshots!
Kol Take One: bit of an undermanned attempt - also, crazy hard to hide the UI, take screencaps and still fight! Victory! Kol 2: Electric Boogaloo was much more orderly though... ... Thanks to this neat line of ranged characters serving as a fall back/healing position. Organisation!Order fell apart for the follow up centaur events though, in favour of some mindless zerging. Sorry that this post is a bit long, got somewhat snap-happy! But yeah, this was really fun stuff. I can't wait to see more massive, linked events like this later on in the game.

I gotta say, I really enjoyed going through the Charr starter area. Something about felt more Guild Wars-y. Could just be me having read a bunch on the whole Searing and whatnot.

A little photo safari of the Brand... ...the fuck's up with the flashlight? ...branded proctologist veterinary? Shining a light up my iugana's ass? Hmmm... that spire's tip is conspicuously illuminated. The branded proctologist's den maybe? What's that? A branded Charr? DIE! You monster! *karate kick in the groin* Time to blow this popsicle stand! Let's pounce! Off to brighter lands!

Another day, another photoshoot - this in an artsy sepia tint...
Why what's so bad about this place? Just perfect for a morning stroll. Don't you agree - Pink Moa? Canons? Here? What for? It really seems deserted. Must be some left-over relics of a war long past. Slappin' zombies in the face with my serrated blade sword? How did we get here? What? Just keep pecking at their eyesockets! The eyes! Brilliant idea my friend. I'll blind them zombie giants with my bow and arrow. What do you mean - no eyes? They've got no eyes is what your saying? Damn you Zhaitan! Clearly - that dude has an eye. So peck at it boys! Harder! Hehehe - he's a one-eyed giant, and a hit with the ladies... get it? Big. But drops like a stone in no time. Should've done your kegels son. Somebody wants to win a bloody Oscar for the most theatrical and drawn out death scene performance - get on with it! Enough already! Let it go. That's it! You're dead. After all that excitement - let's check out some wacky architecture - like this leaning... what the... this mighty askew room. So that's how Zhaitan spent his eyeball budget? Have at it boy! Some hard peckin' is in order.

Bought another character slot (via in-game gold to gems exchange) - just one more to go to feature a full 8-profession roster. And I reworked Bombshell Bunny (my human female engineer) into more of person, rather than a comically oversexualized object.
Just lacking one more slot for my male Sylvari Necromancer - I'll try and make that one barely humanoid - a mushroom head of death maybe.
