Well, i tired to have a more simple look on my character.
Unfortunatly there are no “rouge” style armor aside from the country style for light armor types.

In the picure you can see the rather simple evolution of my main character. In retrospective i am amazed how long i didn`t have a robe or skirt for my male character.
Right now i am going for the kodan armor, however i might transmute some simple country design on it.
Furthermore, love the HoM shoulder and Mask. You can see them in almost every combination is was going for (aside from nasty clipping)

The first 4 pictures on the left are as follows:

1. mid-September shortly after I hit 80 with Gem store armor look on.
2. Now – February with Whispers armor on (minus pants so far).
3. Same as 2 but with Asura Tier 3 karma bow equipped (and reason for the color scheme on armor)
4. Same as 2 but with Whispers Greatsword equipped.

and finally on the right for #5 is my new project :

5. Norn named “Rusttooth Warrior” who will slash his way to level 80 using only dual Rusttooth swords. ANet will love him for using all those transmutation stones in the future :P

i have 3 earlier characters but i deleted them before level 5 and 15 respectively.

top is the first character i actually played (my main and bottom is the first SS on that character)

Hey, its Lady Hailz the White, my awesome guildie charr guardian, partied with my ranger!

I’ll post past and present of my ranger when I can.

It is so cool to see the progression of all these characters. A lot of them are pretty creative and different too.

This bug? still not fix after like 5 months h4h4- First two pics

Bored being male 1.5 months ago- Last two pics

Loving the pictures, everyone

Cool thread! must remember to look for screenshots when i get home.

Lots of pictures, but this is my Norn ranger from Wayfarer Foothills on. Cameo appearances of Jora’s descendant and Eir. Final screenshot is what she looks like now with the AC GS and an aureate skin shortbow (the later screenshots with shortbow I believe were godskull skin). The Dreamer legendary is currently a work in progress. I’d like to eventually also get Foefire’s Essence and Jormag’s Breath.

that is a fabulous norn, and she’ll be even more fabulous with a pink bow (too bad you can’t pose like me. I’m the fab master)

FIERCE

Staff lovin’ for life.

ahh ye old butt shot

Pic 1 is a human necro I played during the 1st beta access.
Pic 2 is my first ever WvW action during the 2nd beta weekend.
Pic 3 is my current main at level 16 going into Kessex Hills with a (former) real life friend for the first time. I can remember thinking at the time how much I was going to enjoy leveling. Turned out it was stupidly easy but moving on….
Pic 4 is me ‘chilling’ in Orr a week or so ago queuing for WvW :p

Love the thread, i am a screenshot kitten so i have tons!!! ^^

Spent most of my time leveling in HoM gear. Oddly, I don’t have any screenies of that.

And the first one I took was when I realised I haden’t taken any yet, thus being about lvl50 or so..

left (then) right (now)

Here’s my contribution …

First – My first wvw jumping puzzle experience
2nd – My first fractal experience..
3rd – My first Maw Experience ( i was like, whats that!! there’s tentacle!…)
4th – First time killing zhaitan ( ARAH story mode)
5th – My guardians first swimming lesson..
6th – My first charr warrior (T1 Cultural)
7th – My first norn guardian (T2 Cultural)
8th – My main asura range (story armors)
9th – My first human mesmer..

Note: not a fan of Gold and Red on armors dye

800 hours and still having a blast… Thank You Anet!!

This is my 2nd character, my warrior Bertha Knocks. All taken as I was leveling her up & working on her gear. My main is an engineer, but I’ll have to go through the screens to find a good “timeline” of those.

Left one is Beta Aidan, who stayed in character creation for almost the entire first stresstest I played (I think I played for like 5 minutes before it ended fml), but I was smart enough to take screenshots of all the sliders and stuff so I could remake him when the servers really went live. Only thing I changed, or forgot to take a screenie of, was his skin colour.

Right screenshot was made a few days ago when I was celebrating Chinese New Year by running all over the place setting off fireworks. He’s been wearing that armour ever since lvl 60 or something. I liked it so much I transmutated it on his lvl 60 armour, and kept doing so until 80. OvO

This is pretty neat. My Guardian (Aug 26th, then today), and my Engineer (Oct 8th, then today):

When I discovered a karma recipe for a wooden sword I just had to make a kid character as a joke alt who would defeat Zhaitan with his trusty wooden sword and his faithful cat, Rover, by his side: The medium karma pants dyed “old jeans” looked like levis (even have levi style pockets – sadly, unable to be seen because there are no short coats for medium armor males) and the t1 shoes dyed off-white and charcoal looked like “kicks”

Sadly,
“A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys. "

I started to like playing ranger and he was becoming my main for dungeons and farming. I thought it was weird playing a kid character so, through the magic of the make-up kit, it was time for him to grow up:

The first one what she looked like during the head start. The last two what she looks like now. Screenshots are taken in Caledon Forest which I find such a gorgeous place.

SO, here i am in picture one (the top photo) as a lvl 47 in midnight firem which was my colour back then. I think the set was a bit of a mismatch of blues and greens mostly beserker.

then next was a month later i thiink while I was lvl 59.. During my roman gladiator phase, where i fancied myself in bronzed armor, plus midnight fire for the shades. I like the effect it gives you..

The third one is just after i hit eighty. From about 78 to 80 i had the iron armor idea and went with it. I found it really enhanced the realism of the game for my charcter. I forget the names of it im afraid but i liked the helm and the way the horns curl back each side..

Then here I am in my current armor and colours.. I use celestial for the top blocks of colours with midnight fire for the edging and joints (the bottom blocks). alot of people ask if im a stormtrooper haha! "I always say no no im a space marine haha!!"
Its Full Ac armor with the original buffs.
I like to keep buffs with the sets they come on originally, to see it if rings true for the dungeon to armor association. I "likes" it though. I "likes" the colours, you stand out in a dungeon which is good if your a warrior It also helps being a max size norn haha!

Anyways thats chronological order from lvl 47 to lvl 80 and present day.

The very last picture i thought i would add goes in as the penultimate photo, that being the one before last (unfortunatly I cannot change the order unless i delete and re-upload, so i left it in the last spot). I upgraded from the plain iron coloured set (which was greens) intto exotic peices, in a kind off "mis-match". I really liked the helm because it was so unique, even if it did look like i had a titanic on my noggin lol...

Is that last one arah gear? looks nice!

My guardian at lvl 11 followed by his lvl 80 future self.
Note: The first picture is the earliest one I had but it also was taken because my character was bugging out hard and was stuck like that. I lold so hard at that during WvWvW.

Pic 1: Here is the ACTUAL first screen I ever took in GW2, was day 1 of BWE1, few minutes into it. Day 1 – Guard from the beginning, never looked back
Pic 2: Little bit better view of the new Guard — MAN, I miss those HD screenshots
Pic 3: Day or so after Headstart – Look at that little Guard go!!!
Pic 4: My first full gear set at 80….she’s so happy!!!!
Pic 5: Taken few minutes ago, current gear/color…..Happy Happy Joy Joy

Pic 1, early on with Tier 1 gear wchich i earn after seemingly long hours
Pic 2
Pic 3:)

Heres me.

I think I was actually around level 17 when I took the first screenshot. Boy has my character and playstyle changed since then.

I don’t take too many pics of my characters normally so lets see what I can do.

Since the warrior didn’t really change much (so much stuff looks bloody awful on charr) I’ll throw in a consolation prize with my mesmer and my other 80s.

My asura guardian, at an unknown low level and 80!

Lucietta, my Guardian has been with me since BWE 2.

That screenshot was from the very end of BWE 2, right before the servers shut down.

This is a screenshot I took of her the other day, exploring the Sylvari starting area.

Bonus screenshot. This was taken during the BWE 2 ‘Hunger Games’ event.

This game is made for taking screenshots, so you can kind of live the moment again.

I’m impressed, everyone :-)

“Carmen Sandiego Asura " to “Don’t Worry I’m an Asura scientist”

somewhere around august – 1
i just logged and took a picture – 2

First is from beta.

Second is a month or two after release.

Third is current.

Just about everything changed. I still prefer a dark purple & black color combo, regardless of what my character is wearing and I do still use my fellblade (such an awesome skin).

Pics of my toons. From start to finish
First thief Arcalas.
Second is Mesmer Krezil.
Third is my second thief after deleted Arcalas Tyrone Wise.
Lastly is Arcalas reborn the last thief Arcalas.

I know there’s more screenshots to be posted, guys!

1. After saving the white stag, already getting sick of trench coats :p
2. After the mad kings clock tower. Looking a little mad herself.
3. A combination of TA armour and Sylvari cultural T1 and T3. I decided to return to my old friend.

Wow, everyone has such nice looking chars!

Comparing pictures like this really makes you release what a long journey it’s been.

My Necro so far. Just started using her like 2 weeks ago, atm lvl 64. I dont put other chars because I just love her so much :>

My mesmer
