Guild Wars 2

No no, this has nothing to do with the Cash Shop.

I’m talking about fun little hidden things you stumbled across while playing. GW2 is FULL of them, from references to jokes to lovely little touches they’ve added in. What have you found? Here’s a few examples I found…

Turns out, many of the gravestones in the game can be read, and I’ve read all the ones I’ve found… some contained references to the original games, like the graves of Alesia or Nicholas the Traveller. But then you find the silly ones. Like “Kah Meena—His is a sword that will pierce the mists”. Or a grave with the epitaph “She thought she could outrun a centaur”. It’s worth reading them.

Stumbling across ANet’s logo hidden within Lion’s Arch. OK actually I saw it in a video, but still… nice little addition.

Anything you’ve found?

Yeah, I like to listen to some of the conversations on the side as I’m playing, ‘cuz NPCs will always have little snippets to share. Of course, if you’re standing in Rata Sum and hearing the same ones over and over in the bank area, that’s a little tiring. But as I was exploring an area off the beaten path, there was a golem message to a little Progeny Asura from her lab partner that said how beautiful she was. It was really adorable. I love stuff like that.
