Guild Wars 2

Many of you may blissfully go about your lives in Tyria seeing those feathery white birds fly by. They deliver your mail and then you think nothing more of the matter. I, my self included, thought nothing. They were just pretty little white doves fluttering through our lives and hearts, delivering joy. But what do they really look like and what are they really up to with those beady little eyes, that you probably haven’t seen yet until you scroll further down this page?

Recent photo evidence has shown them to be nothing more than common pigeons. Those same disgusting, diseased, flying rats that infested Lion’s Arch streets, until Scarlet blew them up. This of course has raised health issues, the pigeons not Scarlet, for all Tyrian customers of the Black Lion Trade Company. Many have begun to ask is this hacking cough really due to Scarlet’s miasma or is it these winged disease bags? We sought out Evon Gnashblade in hopes of him shedding some light on this issue. But he refused to make any comments at this time and then started making shifty deals with a small golem. Probably helping as it kills us all in some golem uprising or something.

Next time you choose to send a package via BLTC Mail and Delivery Services think again. And if not for your health then the safety of your children. Who are probably still in Lion’s Arch, getting blasted at by lasers, because they had to take a break… because they couldn’t just be carried out when their morale bar reached zero!

Misgivings or not, I’d only switch services if someone else could deliver underwater or out in the Mists like these birds can.

Hah, hah yeah I actually really love them. They are one of those neat little additions to the game that really just add an extra something special and show you the level of attention that has gone into the details of Guild Wars 2.

Unfortunately my own powers of observation are quite lacking but a friend pointed these birds out to me quite some time ago. They are utterly delightful and yes, it is the little things like this that make for ‘Awww’ moments.

I started playing the first day of live with my friends. It actually took nearly a week for me to even notice these birds and it was only because one of my friends was standing next to me in game and said I was crapping birds and pointed them out to me. I had no idea what they were talking about because I play zoomed all the way in on my character and always have the TP and inventory screens up when selling stuff and did not even notice these things flying up above my character.

They’ve become part of RP, at least in my circle. We ICly say “I’ll send a bird” when agreeing to send messages. We do sort of handwave them but I personally feel they’re part of the magic of Tyria, most characters not questioning them any more than we players question having email.

Carrier pigeons are a real thing, you know.

Pigeons are doves! Just doves with mangled feet and dirty feathers. But doves! Honest.

Nice screenshot.

You would may not survive if the delivery cames in a Black Lion form…
No one would dare to sell a stack of meat

I’ve been playing for a year and never drew the connection! I see those swooping in and out of Rata Sum’s Accountancy Waypoint area and had no idea that was what they were doing!

Derrp.

Been playing since beta’s, didn’t notice these until this thread, shows how much attention I pay, haha.

How about when you are underwater and get mail? I guess they fly to your underwater mailbox. Now THAT’S dedication to service.

They beat out the postal service, “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds”, because they add underwater flight to the motto.

They’re part penguin… on their mother’s side, twice removed.

Any relation to the Smooth Penguin branch of the family? ^^
