Guild Wars 2

One thing I’m loving more and more about GW2 is those little things that make me laugh. I’m going to post two of those things and I’d love to hear what little things other people have discovered that enhances their game!

1. I walked into Divinity’s Reach on my new human character (I explore cities first for the experience!) and I hear “Saw an Asura the other day…she called me a bookah. I think she was hitting on me!”

2. I was finishing a heart smack in the middle of Caledon Forest (Ruins of the Unseen) and I watch a golem walk up to a Deer and ask it if its a skritt. Obviously it doesn’t respond at which point it is marked as a potential threat requiring further observation.

I climbed a hill in Queensdale and suddenly realised how amazing Divinity’s Reach looks from the other side of the zone. Too much focus on beating up bandits for 8 months!

There are so many little cool things in this game. I keep finding them. Every time I turn around there’s something I hadn’t noticed before my first six times through the game. That’s pretty cool.

And so many oblique (and sometimes no so oblique) references to Guild Wars 1 also. I particularly enjoy those.

Hirathi Hinterlands:

Exploring I did a skill point that was in a dolyak bone yard (SE corner). As I was leaving I came across a cave with some bandit ghosts. Decided to go in figuring either an open world dungeon or a jump puzzle. Instead I found several clues to this being a bandit hideout that was haunted by a “great white beast”. As I left sure enough a White Dolyak Ghost made its way into the cave, and in the main chamber a Veteran Ghost spawned yelling at the Dolyak. Even though I didn’t get much from it, it was such a nice little thing to stumble upon while questing.

In Divinity’s Reach there are two NPCs called ‘Friendly Citizens’ so I decided to bring my Sylvari mesmer up to them and have a little chat. One of them was positive about the city, the other one wanted a Sylvari as pet.

I felt like running away.
