Guild Wars 2

Because we do tend to bash ANet sometimes like a pinata, I want to take a moment to pause and appreciate what they’ve done this patch.

Guys, what a BEAUTIFUL event! Look at the drain covers in Lion’s Arch: each painted (by the Council we assume) to resemble a dragon’s face, the steam rising from the holes.

Look at the ramp leading to the plaze – the dragon elegantly painted along it. The holograph itself high above!

As with every event, this one is a visual feast for the eyes. Sure there’s stuff to tweak, but we have a month for it to be tweaked. The visuals are stunning, the theme is intriguing and wonderfully ominous (nothing like the hubris of celebrating dragon slaying to wake another dragon, eh?).. and the rewards, RNG or not, grind or not, are actually really cool and well worth wanting.

Thanks guys. If you’re reading, I think I probably stand for a lot of players who aren’t in the vocal group complaining, and just appreciate the hell out of this game.
