Guild Wars 2

Hi, everyone!

I would like to thank ArenaNet and NCSoft for developing two life-enriching Guild Wars games and inspiring Ghosts of Ascalon, the best novel I have read in years! Loving Edge of Destiny! I am a young adult with a crippling case of depression. But today, I felt free from sadness. My day on Friday was a disaster. I had negative thoughts
as the day went on. By the time I went to bed, however, I had a big smile on my face. The Heart of Thorns panel was there when I woke up. I watched the whole thing. I thought about how Guild Wars 2, with that panel, would give me something to work on for months. I was in a great mood all day. After that, things went well. I saw a good friend who spent all afternoon helping me out. I also spoke to a close friend, who offered to potentially go out on dates with me! So I thought I’d delve into PvP and try my hand at the dailies. I won more games today then ever before. I got my Ranger online, and won my first PvP MVP award ever! As a veteran of World of Warcraft, I can say that game is linear and stressful. Not Guild Wars 2! I felt connected to my sylvari today! I finally had my moment of success! I have played many MMO games. Guild Wars 2 has the best community to date. I can say now that Guild Wars 2 is my favorite game ever! I have never played a BETA before Guild Wars 2 that was worth my time. This game in BETA was the best game I have played in years. I have never felt such a sense of achievement as I did today. I did not feel depressed today, and I owe it to Guild Wars 2. At a time where I am constantly saddened and plagued by apathy and boredom, I now have a passion and purpose in life. Thanks ArenaNet, and thank you Guild Wars 2, you have made an excellent gaming experience. I cannot express my gratitude enough. I will love playing the Revenant and will buy an extra character slot, so it will sit with all of my eight other characters. Share the love!

Don’t buy a slot yet because expansions have an extra slot or slots usually. Glad to have read your story. Keep the good thoughts and positive attitudes and most important have fun in and out of the game that is also important. You’re luckier than me, Anet is keeping my Tengu Revenant hostage inside the walls.

glad to hear u feel better ,depression is kind of trinky,hope u can get over with it .

thanks so much guys!

Well mate life can be sometimes harsh and unpleasant but keep your head always high

I hope we will meet in Tyria though, it is beautiful place to find peace when it is needed and just chillout a little bit. After all it could be our world, facing elder dragons and all that crazy nonsense :P Gladly I need to fight with taxes, argue with my boss at work from which I can get money for a new fresh expansion :P

thanks bud actually I just finished reading your other post.

welcome back!

im mostly using GW2 as a social outlet anyway, hope to make good friends and find a better guild

I don’t have a job yet so I rely on my computer to stay busy!
Will check for responses when I wake up, hoping for some red posts

My philosophy is that life is like an RPG, your character or soul if you will, evolves with time and depends on how much work you put into it. In each life we have a role to play with all the souls we encounter on our journey, and the journey is worth it. Keep in mind to explore the real world outside of GW 2 and have fun with your friends.

I will thanks!

I wanted to ask for help and Advice from the Guild Wars community on my stretch goals:

I want 8 (soon 9) lvl 80 characters, highest is 33
I want to start a well known guild on Sorrow’s Furnace
I want a Dragon rank PvP character
I want to finish The Hall of Monuments on the original Guild Wars game
I want to enter a PvP tournament, like the World Tournament 2014
And I want to finish all the Reward Tracks and Living Story parts

Looking for new friends to help me get started.

Do not do PS story now !!! It’s badly broken, there are few parts of the story missing, and final fight can disappoint you in many ways.

I wanted to use it to level mostly, but I was talking about season 2

My bad sorry for that mate :P

its ok dude, no problem

as a fellow sufferer of depression and other various mentally crippling disorders I am glad this game offers you as much as it does me. This game has enriched my life and imporved my over all quality since I got into it at Beta. The community also helps. So I know how you feel I hope you continue to fight the good fight and remember, You’re a WARRIOR. Mental illness is not a weakness because we fight a hard fight every single moment of every day. And every morning that you wake up again you’ve won another war. =D

Never give up, never surrender.

Thank you so much Paradox. I am glad you can relate

Don’t feed him, ipaukil.

He is free to his opinions however disgusting they may be.

However, you are most welcome.

thank you paradox

Let’s not feed the trolls now..

Anyway, I’m sincerely touched by the fact that this game and its community could have such a deep and intimate impact on you. I really hope that you have many more experiences like you had today, and really, really hope you score those dates!

thank you so much! I was so excited by my jump in PvP progress as well. I hope others will read this thread and follow my lead.

btw the reports on that user went through, thanks arenanet!
