Guild Wars 2

I started playing GW2 about a month and a half ago. For the last few weeks, I’ve been seeing this humanoid creature appear around me every day several times. When I asked my boyfriend, who has been playing for MUCH longer than me, he says he’s never seen it before. Does anyone know what this thing is?

Good luck.

Try talking to it.

It’s related to the Current Events which tie into Season 3 and the fallout from HoT

I know what its supposed to be but tbh it still looks like the lingering soul of someone AFK queueing on Desert Borderlands.

Just hang your head and sigh.

Has anyone tried using a rift stabilizer on the thing when it pops up? So far I haven’t been quick enough with my mouse to equip it and use the skill before it disappears

That’s a good idea. I already cured myself so I don’t see it anymore, or I would see what happens when you use the stabilizer.

There’s no lore to support it, but for me that is the ghostly afterimage of every anet employee who were proud of what they’d made and then made the mistake of looking at player comments on this forum after a release. The image is their reaction carried through the mists into the game.
But as I said, only a theory, there’s no evidence. Unless we can get Gaile to let something slip..

Best answer ever! I’m going to read this to my guild. lol

Part of me will always think it’s Kirk.
