then you are rare, because all ladies i have seen from my guild or streamers play female, i have never seen female gamer play male character, you are the first one lol.
Ohh, I used to get so angry when someone was asking me if I am a lesbian because I play a male character >_< I mean… where’s the god kitten logic in saying that if a guy is playing a female character, he’s probably gay and if a woman is playing a male, she’s definately a lesbian? Pretty much what Aerial said few posts above is right. If I get to choose who I need to watch 3-4 hours a day, surely I’ll prefer a handsome male, because I have my own breasts and stuff to look at for my whole life, that’s boring.
Speaking of sylvari – I would love female sylvari, but they always look so… happy, it stresses me out. I made a female sylvari revenant, used up my last hair change kit and made her a full exotic set, but now I really want do delete her, because she’s always smiling, even if she’s talking serious or people are dying. I can’t stand that! Maybe I’m just too negative, idk
I am human female IRL, but my main (and most loved character) is a human male. I was inspired by one of my favorite books where protagonist was a male necromancer. I like everything about him – the way he looks and how the story and voice acting (thank you so much, Nolan North! I love you!) fits him just purrfectly.
Across all female characters I like my norn most of all, as she is very much like me, I guess. But I also have three human females, I must admit. They have nice haircuts and some mix-and-match sets actually look good on them.
I’m playing for almost two years now and I’ve yet to see ANY ascended armor or weapon drop. Tequatl, Triple wurm, Silverwastes, WvW, anything… all my ascended gear is crafted. I’m not leaving toons anywhere, I do everything on my main character (with small exceptions like dungeon running with an ele or JP on mesmer), so it’s not DR for sure. Sometimes I think that I might be bugged, too.
I’m looking at it like this – if someone is really lucky with those, there’s always someone, who will be on the other side of this rng seesaw to keep the overall balance (and that’s you and me, in this case). That’s how it works in any gambling game, they have a certain average number of drops per boss/day/week/month, so practically with every drop someone else gets, you will have a smaller chance to get the same item. Anyway, I wish you a good luck on getting that ascended drop
I find this odd the guilds I have been in want you to be on ts to listen to tactics and orders that cant be typed in the middle of battle.
Noone forces people to speak they just have to listen, if you cant do that your not part of the team and should be excluded frankly.
Not like I can’t agree with you that a voice chat can make things easier, but there’s almost nothing in Guild Wars 2 that really requires it. Triple trouble, perhaps? And I never got time to participate in beta, so I dunno about raids. Everything else is super easy if you’re talking about tactics. The main challenge in GW is to know your class and how to dodge things. As long as you know that, rest of it is all straight away. There are some small exceptions, you can (and you should) check them out on youtube before your first run.
Also I must say that I never had problems with entering TS during my prime time if I had one. I didn’t speak much (or I didn’t speak at all), I felt uncomfortable, but I was always on. The problem is that most of the guilds that require voice chat are addicted to it and completely ignoring other ways of communication. People from the guild I mentioned in my post didn’t even answer to private messages at all and important decisions (like who do we wanna see in our raid) were made hours before the prime time started, so when I showed up just in time – it suddenly poped out that there is no place for me because I wasn’t online when they were giving cookies.
I also had bad experience with people who say “no one forces you to speak”, but when you enter the voice chat everyone is asking why are you so quiet and almost demand you to “say something”, when they get bored. You know, it really feels like if I had no hands and they are asking me to wave.
People don’t realize what pain it is to be introverted and extremely shy. You’re practically locked out from all the world, you’re always feeling bad and uncomfortable (even if you really want to communicate and make friends), your own mind works against you. Sometimes it gets so bad that you need to take meds before crossing the street, but you’re never treated like you were ill or different, because you look fine and have a nice voice.
I’m sure you can find a friendly and understanding guild in this game, GW2 has lots of great people and I’ve had fun with most of pugs I’ve joined. But you have to look for it. Fail. Get dissapointed. Communicate with many people, until you find the right ones for you. That’s a long way to go and I’m not sure I can go through this.
Oh, and on top of that – my main is a condi necro and I’m really in love with this class since I started to play. Not every PvE oriented guild will accept that.
Good thing that GW is very friendly to people like me and I always find something to do on my own or at least without need in saying more than “Hi” and “Thank you”. I’m afraid I will never get a chance to participate in raids, tho, but we’ll see.

Yes, this luck makes me jealous, too.
As for this “Unfortunately, it’s just impossible to have the same kind of experience a second time” – not true. Last night I thought that it would be fun to do some world bosses, and you know, I still had a lot of fun and when I see Jormag or Tequatl flying, that makes me think “OMG, this is so EPIC!!1”, even tho I have all the achievements and I really don’t feel like I NEED doing this. And I feel quite the same about every thing in this game. Even farming Silverwastes still seems interesting to me (Hidden Depths event is so much fun!). But well, I am also a very emotional person, maybe that’s the thing.
