Guild Wars 2

I found this funny, and thought I’d just throw it out there.

Turns out that you can log in to GW1 and GW2 and play them simultaneously, even on the same machine (lol). It made GW1 lag pretty badly though, making it basically unplayable.

The screenshot is taken with characters being in roughly the same place; the eastern fringe of the Black Citadel in GW2, and the Nolani Academy mission in GW1.

:)

I’ve done this a few times. I found it really helpful for navigating old LA in GW2. I couldn’t really work out what anything was except the fountain until I walked/swam through it in both games together.

On my computer both run ok most of the time, I wouldn’t want to try it with loads of people/enemies on screen though.

(Also random point but your UI layout in GW1 is almost identical to mine, except I’ve hidden weapon swap.)

its cool to see a then and now with some of these spots, but what really gets me is how bad that warrior build is. XD

I get so more intrigued at the skill set in GW1 and GW2. I see an interesting Warrior build with mixed skills from different campaigns aimed at survivability, on the left i see a boring mesmer whose copies desapwn everytime you kill an enemy and 2 dps skills to use + lots of auto-attack.
It actually makes me feel like logging on GW1. The screenshot from GW1 was one of the worst ever though. The game looked alot better on EotN.

I can play gw1 at the same time too. And I really have to say the graphics have come very far since then!

I am not sure if you and I are looking at the same GW2 picture.

I see a Mesmer who has only three weapons skills unlocked, no utility skills slotted (and two slots locked), and no elite skill available.

However, on my own Mesmer (which I can see on the other screen) I see a character completely capable of using illusions properly (i.e. not “tagging” the same enemy with all three of them) to solo huge pulls of mobs at once while not taking a single point of damage.

Not to mention what and absolute fiend I am in PvP.

Perhaps you are looking at the wrong picture?
