Guild Wars 2

The thing that makes Guild Wars /GUILD WARS/ for me is the lack of mounts. Exploring in GW2 is one of the quintessential things for new players – they join, they explore, see the huge map, explore an area and get some rewards for it. They’ll get hooked and explore more, put their time into it by travelling on foot.

The thing with mounts, it kind of kills the idea of putting your time into exploring. If you get like 100% movement boost while on a mount, exploring would be done in a very fast manner and it would lose it’s purpose. To me, exploring in GW2 is fun – yes there are a few areas that annoy the hell out of me *cough*Malchor’s Leap*cough* but the idea of vistas and pois are great. Thing that GW1 never had (love GW1 as well). Of course, there are players who just rush through it all, but as for me, I love seeing all the pois and spend time around them and explore, just like looking at vistas twice or three times, just to see the beauty of this game.

What makes GW2 actually great for me, is, like I said, not having mounts. Anet has done its thing since the release of GW1 and they’ve carried on the principle of not having mounts to GW2, which I personally love. Yes, sometimes I wish I could fly a dragon or ride a moa, but those are not the essential things the game needs. I join the bandwagon of people who are against mounts, beause exploring neccessarily in GW2 don’t need mounts.

Even not so tech-savy people understand that this computer will run anything for years to come.

I’m still using my gs condi necro and for me, it’s still viable, combined with some minions as well. I suggest it.

Hey there, fellow Guild Wars 2 players! Legion of Defiance is a newly formed guild created by two friends who are active and friendly!

Our objective is to grow in numbers and generally have fun. We are looking for active and friendly people who want to grow, help and represent Legion of Defiance.

Sadly, we do not have a TeamSpeak channel or a website yet, but as we grow, those things will come as TeamSpeak is vital in this game, so is fun – and where’s the fun without having laughs in TeamSpeak?

Planned activities

Silverwastes – As Silverwastes is a popular place to be, we would like to organize a few runs every week with the majority of the guild. There are no mandatory activities in the guild, as this isn’t a job – it’s a game, and a game is supposed to be fun. We all know mandatory activities aren’t really fun!

Maguuma Jungle meta events – We would like to arrange weekly Maguuma Jungle meta event runs too, so that everyone could get sweet loot and experience!

World bosses – As for world bosses, we would like to run those daily with those who are online, because of the sweet shiny loot! And, when the guild is big enough, Triple Trouble would be one world event we would like to participate in daily!

Dungeons – To those who love running dungeons, Legion of Defiance is the perfect place for you! So do we!

Fractals of the mists – Who doesn’t like fractals of the mists and fractal encryptions? We sure do! If you’re looking for someone to do Fractals with, this is the place!

What do we really offer?

- LoD offers you a friendly community. We’re helpful, active and generally just try to have fun, because life is too short not to have fun.
- We will be setting up a website and either a Discord or a TeamSpeak channel for our members once we hit desired member count and see people active in the guild. No one likes inactive people, am I right?
- Helping new players! Youth is the future and we want to show that this game has the best community by helping new players and teaching them how the game works!

Legion of Defiance requirements:

- Stay active in the game.
- You have to be friendly towards everyone.
- If a TS or a Discord channel has been formed, it would be nice to see you there too!

We, at Legion of Defiance would like to see you join us in our friendly and active guild! Doesn’t matter if you’re looking for PvE or PvP, we are all in for everything!

I’ve been using a necro/reaper for quite some time now on fractals, dungeons and raids, and I must say, a condi necro is very, very good. Still amazed after 300h on my current necro how good the dps is, especially a necro with a greatsword is. I love necros!
