Hey there Guild Wars forum! This’ll be my first post on site and I wasn’t sure if this was the right place to put it. After all I’m trying to bring light to a bug that I(and many others) have run into, as well as tell a little in character story about my experiences with both the awesome community and the game itself. Anyway, story incoming!
__________________________________________________________________
Hello, everyone. I am Warwel. Asura engineer, graduate from the college of statics, and adventurer extraordinaire. I come to this place of gathering to share a tale of camaraderie, jovial celebration for no particular reason, and a freaking norn who hadn’t had the sense to show up to his job for two days straight!
My story starts with my exploration just east of the Norn capital of Hoelbrak. After a day of trekking through the local caverns, bearing through the ungodly cold of the mountain tops, and dealing with many many unsightly ruffians by way of biological over-stimulation, that is to say massive amounts of poison, I found my adventures coming to a close. Or so I thought. I headed to the last objective in the Wayfarer’s Foothills, a skill challenge at a quaint little hot spring. Only to find that the person of whom I would be challenged by was not present! Oh I looked for him, even going so far as to ask the two Norns enjoying the spring where this guy was!
Er, wait… is it just Norn? I was never good with plurals… er wait… Augh! I’m getting off track! Anywho, after fruitlessly searching for… something… the blue… or whatever! I’m not well versed in Norn naming conventions okay? Ugh… ANYway, I decided that the best course of action was to make sure my fellow adventurers would not spend the pointless hours trying to find this guy. And besides, when you’ve spent the better part of half a day in the cold tundra, fighting off frost elementals and whatever that thing at the peak of the mountain was with a random group of charr and humans trying to keep everyone alive and… Sigh. SIDETRACKED AGAIN!! Anyway, I decided to enjoy the springs myself…
After a short while, this happened.
1st picture; I get the first visitors who opted to stick around and enjoy the springs. That Norn cannonballed in too. I’d rather not be surprised with scalding hot water splashed in my face again but it was all in good fun.
2nd picture; That same Norn gets a bright idea on how to keep himself and the others entertained. I am not amused…. to say the least.
3rd picture; I guess that couple enjoying the springs will have to either move or put up with us ROCKING THE THEORETICAL HOUSE!! Ahem… dancing was had.
4th picture; That Norn thinks his dancing will be enough to woo the woman already being courted by the delusional fellow behind him. Conclusion? They’re both delusional.
5th picture; A Silvari and his fern hound jump in the pool as well. The more the merrier I always say.
6th picture; One of my comrades attempts to test his lung capacity, nearly drowning pitifully in two feet of water.
7th picture; Women would always be wondering by, like these two gems here. I attempt to get them to join our little impromptu party, and they promptly leave. Conclusion? I’m delusional.
Though the festivities, if you could call them that, eventually came to an end it was nice to know that even the random colleagues that you find out and about aren’t too proud to engage in pointless lollygagging for fun’s sake. Though we never did find the alleged skill challenge I went away with a freshly stocked friends list and a memory that would last long into the week…
