Guild Wars 2

You know you’ve been playing GW2 too much when…

…you feel like dropping an AoE onto a herd of animals you see on Animal Planet.

…while taking a walk in the park, you can tell that that small tree is definitely choppable.

…you get excited when you hear “champion” on Eurosport.

…you say “Train?” whenever you arrive at a train station.

You know you’ve been reading GW2 forum too much when…

…you know you’ve seen the exact same thread about a hundred times before.

…you can tell how much sense a post will make by looking at the nickname.

…you are allergic to words “mounts”, “capes”, “guild halls”, “GvG” and “dueling”.

Hehe yes. These seem accurate.

You know you play Guild Wars 2 to much

If someone says train and you immediately respond with “Boar.”

… when you visualize yourself using a Leap to get across the street.

… when you ponder that jumping off from the top of the bridge into the water will not hurt at all.

… when you try to figure out how fast Swiftness makes a human being in Km/hour.

… when you give cute asura names to infants you see.

… when you try to charm a Grizzly bear by running up to it and poking it on the side shouting “I choose you!”

… when after the Grizzly incident, you fully expect people to run up to your mangled corpse, and get you up.

When you try to pan your camera behind you while walking along the street, without turning your head.

You know you play Guild Wars 2 to much if…..

….When you blink/close your eyes after a long GW2 session and see player downed icons in your minds eye!

When you wish you have waypoints between your house, your school and your workplace. And basically anywhere you need to be.

That would be JUST awesome! imagine the fuel/time we could save and the environment would thank us….no CO2!

Loading times would be awful.

When you get woken up too early in the morning and try to ‘log out of life’ inside your head so that you don’t have to face real life.

Gee, thanks… now I have coffee all over my computer!

Here’s mine:

…when you are absolutely sure you can move the camera angle so you can see if there’s anything going to jump out at you from behind a wall…

…when you go to one of the Big Box stores and think the shelving would make a killer jumping puzzle

Getting a new job would mean that you’d have to explore a new part of the map so that you’d have that waypoint.

… when you wake up from a night of sleep and you are kittened off because your are missing your UI and can’t check the TP or your bags.

-When you see a nice discount in a store and say:“What savings!”.

-When you see something in real life that you can climb and think of it as a jumping puzzle.

I often view stores as dungeons…. I try to skip the hoards of people, get in and get out as quickly as I can.

A little off topic, but when d3 came out I played it for hours and hours, and I started wanting to punch rotted tree trunks a lot.

You have a dream that you get a precursor from a package you open, and you aren’t even trying to get a Legendary in the game.

You know you’ve been reading GW2 forum too much when…

… you reply to your bosses’ emails, correcting his minor grammatical errors and telling him he needs to “learn to manage.”

… when you place a commander icon above your head and shout to everyone around you “FOLLOW ME PEASANTS”

then try to make them follow you after jumping a cliff…

Similar thing happened to me. I had a dream I went into pvp and forged the Dwayna longbow…. and when I woke up, I had to try. I only had enough for 2 tries…. but I got it!

I dream of gw2 a lot…. I just figured everyone did.

Someone once said in-game… “Sleep is when you play GW2 without a computer”.

I loved it. Thought I’d share it.

A completely unique experience…a great laugh early on a Monday morning. Great thread…thanks.

…you see a small dirt mound and want to mine it.

Great thread…..lol……lots of smiles and chuckles and agreement nods on this end…..

When someone says “Watergate” and you think of your garrison before Richard Nixon.

When someone gets hurt and starts to bleed and you get the urge to yell “Shake it Off!”

When someone trips and you yell “Stand your Ground” to give them some stability.

When you imagine that you could cast Line of Warding to keep your boss away from your desk for just 5 minutes longer.

When you get a compliment at work on a job well done an you say “I achieve things, I’m an achiever!”

When you go somewhere new and call out “New land!”.

When you think about the stock market as a place to practice your TP skills. Not the other way around.

When you start pricing everything that you spend money on IRL by how much it would cost in gems.

When you hear someone say what’s the current score, and you feel the need to check your phone and tell them how your server is doing in WvW.

…When someone suggests doing a puzzle with them and you start jumping onto things

….when you pass by a cave and wonder if the troll is ready.

Something I actually do now, I have taken and used Trahearne’s quote “This won’t end well”, in multiple situations.

When you see a sign or flag above buildings/storefronts/homes and think of ways to get to that vista.

Don’t you mean: “This well won’t end….”?

When you’re bored of the game.

You’ve run out of money.

When a co-worker talks about going over to SMC and you first think of StoneMist Castle and wonder if we own it and not the building on campus with that acronym…

When driving around town you’re wondering if you have all the POI’s for the area…

When you tell your husband that it’s going to take a while to get there because the waypoint for the store is contested XD

Lol. That’s a good one. I’ll have to remember that to use later.

At least you don’t have to get out of your car and kill hordes of risen to get it uncontested, at least so far you don’t,

You know you’ve been reading the forums too much when “kitten” replaces all your swear words IRL.

Whenever you idly sit at your computer and you realize you have one hand on the mouse, and the other one over the “w”,“a”,“s”,“d” keys.

My sister saw the Bank Midwest logo ( http://www.bankmw.com ) that looks like the icon for the Event Icon: A service or assistance that needs to be provided.

…You find an old shirt of yours and try to salvage it.

…You Eat a sandwich and look for a stat increase.

…You open your paycheck and realize even irl, you’re still getting nothing but greens.

…You tell your significant other to hold on a sec as you finish your dailies.

…You keep an eye out for waypoints as you travel somewhere you’ve never been.

My dog is a true Ranger’s dog.

Me: come here!
Him: Huh? What? Oh, ok. I guess so.

This happens to me A LOT :P

When you visualize attack animations when you try to sleep

(Actually keeps me awake)

When you’re sitting on the back porch, looking at the slug tracks(NW USA peeps will know what I mean) across the concrete, and thinking….“hmmm, that looks just like the zerg route in Eternal Battlegrounds”.

Yes, instead we’d just have ruptures in the space time continuum and chaos radiation like at that Asura reactor. Much better.

You guys are awesome

…when you wish you were a staff guardian while chasing a mosquito in your room.

…when you wish you could Daze a person who’s going to say something unpleasant to you.

…when you see a “You can’t carry more supplies!” alert if your shopping bags are too heavy.
