Guild Wars 2

Hello,

I recently came across Wallpaper engine which allows you to have animated wallpapers. I would like to set up the gw2 character selection screen as my background. I’m looking for a footage of the full loop of the animated background without UI & Character.

I only found footages of the old login screen on youtube….

I could record it on my own but my 8 character slots are full with lvl 80 and I don’t want to delete them just for that. I don’t have enough gems to buy another slot as well…

Did anyone came across a video of a character selection background somewhere ?

you could make a new f2p account, which will be empty of characters and record it that way.

I didn’t think about that ! I will give it a try, thanks !

You also can hide the UI while in character selection (not the character themselves, of course, so the F2P idea is great there). Make sure you have it keybound — I use F11 as that is close to the Print Screen button, and the default toggle involves pressing 3 keys at once, ick) — then you can toggle it at will.

Interestingly, if you have the UI hidden with a character visible, you cannot rotate the character. Just a side note, as this matters not at all for your purposes.

Or you can just wait a few seconds and the UI will auto-hide, all by itself, as well.

The problem with that is if you so much as twitch your mouse over the window — and sometimes over another monitor, even — the UI fades back in. I wrestle with that when doing Snips of characters on the selection screen. OP wants to film a loop and might have to do some mouse movement to make the software do its thing (speculation on my part, I haven’t messed with video recording).
