Guild Wars 2

When you refer to little people as Asuras in the real wrold.

…. your making love and calling her kasmeer.

…. Eating a Mcfish and wondering is that how quaggans taste.

….humming the theme song at work.

~ You see identical twins and try to figure out which one is the clone.

~ You wonder what color to dye your clothes today.

~ You see a spider and wonder if Ambient Killer is a daily.

~ You can’t hear the word “raisin” without thinking of Raisin Face near the bank in old LA.

I once had a dream i was my ele in wayfarer and some guy was bugging me about how events work. i got so annoyed i set him on fire and an event popped up to put him out. I then froze him and got a gold medal.

..when you ingame type /age in the chat and its shows you a number greater than 5000 hours.

… when asked what’s up you yell “I AM MIGHTY!”

… when you walk to a homeless to say “You’r face is funny, all squished and weird…”

I know I’m alright if I just say kitten in regular speech or when thinking. But if I ever stub my toe and yell out KITTEN IT! then I know it’s time for a Guild Wars 2 vacation.

… When you see your wife and think “not puzzle jumping again!”.

Or at least a GW2 forum vacation.

That’s a common complaint actually. That someone jumps too much from one spot to another without knowing where they are going,, takes the wrong route and has to backtrack then falls off and dies and lies there calling for a rez. What really annoys me is when they open the chest at the end and complain about the rewards after.

We are talking about puzzle jumping, right?

What is weird is when you make the wrong jump but you still find a reward chest.

… odd talk is odd >_>

…when you walk the streets and the moment you see a big group passing by you think “oh god, not another champ train”

… When you wake up and can’t decide which character you should bring to work.
…..To later realize you aren’t allowed to pvp at work.

LOL this is awesome!

You see the word kitten and have stopped trying to decipher it. You now accept ‘kitten’ as a legitimate swear word.

And you’ve been playing GW2 waaaaaay too much when:
You think kitten should be bleeped out if someone says it in chat, because it’s offensive.

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….”?

I know this JP, it’s in Lions Arch!

ozmaniandevil.6805:

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

Yes this, I was going to post this as well. Actually happens to me from time to time.

…when you think of The Moot every time you see a disco ball…

…when someone upsets you and you yell “FOR GREAT JUSTICE”…

…when you see someone get hurt and think to yourself: “He must be running full zerker”…

…when youre looking for a job and every job posting says “LF1M EXPERIENCED ONLY, PING GEAR”

^LOL

you try to change your camera angle or hold down “w” while still at the loading screen…
ya that’s right, I do that alot lol

Daydreaming at work and realizing your boss sounds like Traherne……….

When you see something cool in rl you say “Now thats a view!”
Yes I’ve done this…

when explaining the plot of game of thrones to my friend and im telling him about the part of the invasion of ice zombies in the north my friend goes “oh zhaitan and jormag had an affair then”

Na, even in game I tend to use Kitten. Too much ingame and foruming.

….when at your public job, you understand why the charr hated humans

Teege.4623:

When you fall for the hype and leave disappointed.

It’s been two years, get over it…

…When whenever you fight with a sword, you go ‘I swung a sword. Hey, I swung a sword again, that’s great!’

…When your 6 year old cousin -who is in love with you- wantd to pluck a rose for you, but is oblivious to the danger of thorns. You consider your 4 options:

1. make a ‘That rose has thorns, and there they are!’ remark, before he cuts himself.
2. Wait for him to cut himself, and then yell “Agony, torment, pain!” to proc Restorative mantras.
3. Say ‘hey look, a rainbow!’, to use the diversion shatter, which procs shattered concentration and removes retaliation from the rose.
4. Wait for him to be cut, but revive him. (Touch with your finger, and tell the child it’s magic.)
   Choose wisely!

I’m about to make a poll of that… The ‘how well can you use your gw2 skillz in real life’ poll :D

maestrochino.7104:

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

Sounds great! Except for the school and workplace part.

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.

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.

Here’s a simplified (so it’s not a massive 1 hour long wall of text) version of one I had, straight from my journal :D

14th of march, 5AM-6AM

I had a false awakning. For some reason I forgot to do a reality check, but instead jumped out of my bef and made a run for the toilet… But the water was blue, and it wqs actually a mystic toilet, so I tripped and fell in it. Moments later I was the sword twilight, in the movie Twilight, so I cried for whatever reason, and yelled at someone to ‘please stop the torture!’.

Then I was in Lion’s arch, some charr warrior was wielding me, ann i heard the By Ogden’s hammer, what savings! remix.

Then someone changed my stats, removed 50 power and added 50 evil, which was enough to make me the next scarlet.

I hot someone with my pew pew laser, but he didnt die for whatever reason, even though it was a headshot. I pressed F to finish him but he urgently yelled ‘wait! You’re dreaming!’. BOOM! Super explosive finisher.

I stared at the stranger’s blockified (because it was the aab finiaher) body, having completely forgot what he just said. Then Grouch appeared: ’I’m dissapointed in you, twilight’. I answered: ‘_oh no, Grouch, you’re my favourite dev! Is there anyway I can redeem myself?’_.

He typed 2 lines of code and made me allied to the blockified stranger. (Yes… Duelling is that easy) ‘you know what to do’, he said, whereafter he placed down a smoke bomb and rocket booted away.

I kneeled down near the blockified stranger to fondle (revive) him, but he suddenly became alive and grabbed me at the throat! His skin looked like that of a risen, his eyes were glowing bright red. I was frozen in place by fear… He slowly opened his mouth, and with a decayed and moaning voice spoke: ‘YOU… Are dreaming.’.

WOOSH. My surroundings shifted into focus. I felt a soft breeze and sunlight over my skin, accompanied by a "woosh"ing sound. It felt like I had a sudden revelation. It’s like a new world has opened, where anything is only limited by your imagination, and creativity… It’s begging to be explored!

Bla bla bla. insert boring story of me doing amazing, unimaginable things here

Omg… I thought I’m the ony one that started using kitten as a normal word… XD

when you hear the word stack irl you think everyone together, or 250

…when you honestly believe that Renault named its car after Logan Thackeray.

…when you can start casting a skill while out of range but it’s in range by the time you finish it.

When you watch nothing but GW2 videos on Youtube and continuously right click on the video to pan the camera even if you know it’s a friggin’ video!

When you read ‘kitten’ as profanity every time, or try to work out what swear is intended in a sentence about kittens.

Challange accepted !

….when u buy all ur christmas gifts for ur family in the gemstore

You are playing GW2 too much when Rhapsody In Blue reminds you of the GW2 background music instead of the other way around.

When you’re having a dodgeball fight and you tell your team to stack…..

You’re all smalltime. I knew I played too much Neverwinter Nights when the UI, including my character’s portrait was burned into my monitor, visible on the glass, months after I bought a new monitor.

But:
>You know you play too much GW2 when you hear that audio POP! glitch while walking around a city.
>You know you play too much GW2 when you scream at a Gynecologist for being a noob while trying to run your dungeon. (Seriously. A ~Healer~? In MY DUNGEON? Link zerks or boot. Pfft.)
>You know you play too much GW2 when you tell your team to stack so the Malphite doesn’t use his AOE.
>You know you play to much GW2 when you think parkour must be a an attempt to get into uninstanced home zones.
>You know you play too much GW2 when you HAVE NO MOUTH AND MUST SCREAM. THE SKYNET IS TAKING CONTROL.

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

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

You know you’ve been reading GW2 forum too much when…
you are allergic to words “mounts”, “capes”, “guild halls”, “GvG” and “dueling”.

I still don’t know why we couldn’t get guild capes, they said in the beginning they had worked on that, but had clipping issue. Almost 2 years later, nothing.

Not complaining but who wouldn’t trade to have a cape instead of a guild back pack.
+1 Guild content.

When you try to hold the right mouse button to look around with gw2’s orientation, while on another software.

khani.4786:

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

I am so going to use the Waypoint Contested argument for not being on time somewhere… lol.

…Programming your GPS with POI’s for your next trip…

…When you are walking in a large crowd and start referring to them as a zerg.

…When your license plate says “Tyria”

… when you have a dream, and half the population is Skritt.

… You play GW2 too much, on a touch screen, when driving down the road you attempt to touch and drag the windshield to adjust your angle as you go over a hill.

… You play GW2 too much when you can’t remember someones name and look at the space over their head.

… You see a group of US Army out in their dress blues and think it is a FG zerg in EotM.

You play too much GW2 when you go to your nearest shop and try to cash in your
“Karma”

When you see identical twins and just assume it’s a mesmer.

Never.

(wow apparently that wasn’t long enough to warrant a post, hence this comment)

Naus the Gobbo.5172:

When you see identical twins and just assume it’s a mesmer.

Huh, reminded me of the one I forgot:

…when you see a girl in everything purple and want to click her to check if she’s a mesmer.

When you’re that girl in everything purple and think you’re a mesmer. guilty

When stuck in traffic, you think, “this is what happens when you give people mounts instead of making them use Waypoints.”

When relatives give you clothes and you immediately tear them apart to salvage the mats.

When you try to exchange 100 pennies for pure silver.

When you read torchy romance novels looking for clues to doomsday weapons.

When you hear “LA” and automatically think of the place that got nuked by a pony-voiced plant.

… when you’re looking for the bank after shopping.
… when you’re posting posts like this one while you’re supposed to work (but the urge is too great)
… when you’re skipping supper at fridays for WvW reset
… when you think everyone who stays in one spot is an NPC

When you can only log in for 30min max before you /wrist.

Well I’m playing Diablo III again instead of GW2 since the expansion is out, and I can tell you I played it too much when someone faint (like, real blackout) in the crowd at a hot day during a festivity, and I expected an orange pillar of light to rise to the skies.

Some will get it, some will not.
