Guild Wars 2

This has also bothered me, the amount of holiday and special events in GW1 ( ok it did have 3 continents ) compared to GW2 but GW1 only has 1 playable race so surely there should be more “festivals” in GW2 , not that the Norn need an excuse to party but why no celebrations of their totem animals ? 1 example
A festival of the Bear could include a homage to the Kilroy brass knuckle dungeon where you go in fight your way to the end for “the Golden keg”
not to mention from GW1
The international talk like a pirate day with bottle of grog random drops
ST Patricks day , shamrock ales and 4 leaf clovers ( could add 100 points or so to luck for example of be crafted for those with max luck )
Easter ,chocolate bunnies and golden eggs .
why not also celebrate the accomplishments of GW2 like the annual celebration of the defeat of Zhaitan ( erm spoiler??? )
I’m sure there are plenty more ideas out there and more creative to boot

My first screenshot from 04/09/12

for some reason I must of thought a polar bear “chilling” by a bonfire quirky enough to screenshot

If i recall correctly with mine ( I bought the cheapest set) it unlocked the other skins in my wardrobe anyway so now if i ever want a spinal back pack I just get any old back pack and use 1 of my 400+ transmutation charges

I am 2 zones away from completing my 11th map completion and have a further 2 chars who have fully mapped WvW and so far i have zero (0) legendaries ( I know I counted them twice ) . The reason I don’t have any is because I think (for the most part) they look ridiculous (personal preference and all that jazz)…so why do I map …gives me something to do and out of all the reknown hearts in game there are only a small handful I would consider a “pain”

I was under the assumption the Revenant was an optional progression for a Warrior like Druid is for Ranger and the as yet unrevealed new “classes” that will expand from the existing classes , maybe an ele becomes a battle mage and a thief becomes a well just burn it with fire. That way 1 would hope you had already defeated Zhaitan and would not break continuity

My (wrong) guess for the expansion is a release date on August 31st (this year) and a preview weekend on 29/30 for that that preordered .
Basing that purely on the new campaign release dates from GW1

A few of my Ranger pet names
Bear : Necessities
Reef Drake : Sir Francis
Shark : Gums
Wolf : Diefenbaker
Black Widow: Mr Tickles
and from GW1 my Croc: I Ate Mick Dundee …….i really miss my croc, any chance they will appear in Silverwastes zones ? hint hint

The vines maybe harmless now but just you wait …..after 4 or 5 weeks you will log into the game to find your character laying dead on the character selection screen with a thorny vine around his/her throat …and how can you “fix” this catastrophe? simple by buying Evon Gnashblade’s guaranteed super duper weedkiller for the cheap cheap price of 500 gems in the store ….if any Anet employee reads this comment please please disregard it , I do not want to give you ideas :P

This won’t end well

Dunno about the rest of you but I was rather fond of my croc in GW1 i do miss " I ate Mick Dundee"
