Guild Wars 2

I feel like I’m on the same boat. I’ve just started playing a couple of months ago (played a bit a few years back but there was no raid content back then).

Pretty much did all the content progression I could, got all masteries, explored all open world content/achievements, full ascendant gear, spec as per meta and over the last two weeks been trying to find a way into raiding (checking LFG, forums, any eventual recruitment shouts) but it seems I’ve hit a wall.

I have 0 LI and I have no clue how to get any since I can’t find any groups/guilds that do not request someone that raided already (in GW2) to some extent.

I know I’m coming late to the party, but are new players locked out completely from raiding content?

I saw a couple of posts about groups that accept new players like myself, if you know any, would you be so kind as to provide some more information I can look into (EU servers)?

Well what I think is more of a community problem is that if you want to raid but you got a low amount of Li you can’t get into a group nor guild. I really want to raid properly but I only got 5 Li and it doesn’t really matter from which boss I got them since people won’t let you even join for vg without having 100 + Li. (even if you got your low amount from said boss or the boss you want to do).
Is it just me or is this just ridicoulus? For me it is like saying : you can’t join on ascalon dungeon without having around 1k dungeon marks.
How can I get raid experience if I can’t join a group or a guild because I lack on Li?
Ofc the more Li you got the more experienced you are but tbh it gives new-ish raiders 0 chances to get into it :/
Also I think it would make it easier if the Li would show from which boss you got them.
Yes I might be complaining but for me it also kinda destroys the community :/

I share my account with my bf and he said someone tried to contact me in game but he missed the message and he thinks it may have been you lol Sorry about that ^^;

Agate Skyborne.6851:

It’s funny, actually… I remember first seeing this pic of yours:

and immediately I knew I wanted to have something done by you. I think I even PM’d you a couple years ago looking to get something done but you never replied. Now’s my chance so I don’t want to let it slip.

That brings back memories XD Im sorry if i never got around to answering you I had to stop playing GW1 at a point and kinda fell out of the art scene and forums.
I’ll keep your request in mind, you have a lot of good options

Raising my hand to hopefully get chosen.

You can find a gallery of my characters here:

Hopefully they spark something with you. I remember your art from the old guru days, and would love to have a piece of something done by your hands. Please let me know!

Wow! I didnt realise that people would recognise my art! XD haha
gasp thats quite a selection of awesome characters you have there! O:

Just a wee bit ago. Chronic habit of stalking art forums, really. I get just a little excited when I see familiar faces.

Goodness me, that was quite some time ago! haha XD

Invertation.4293:

Well I’ll be, I thought that name and style looked familiar. I’ll be looking forward to seeing the results of this project, much so!

Where have you seen my art before? O:

Iona.6307:

Great!
This is Tirri, tinkerer extraordinaire. She loves long walks, blue fruit-flavored beverages, and dispensing advice even when it isn’t asked for.

Shes so cute! Im going to wait a couple of days before picking someone out, but i definitely like your character

Wow, nice work! Looks just like offical art

Iona.6307:

Do asura count as ‘awesomely sexy’?

Haha i could give it a shot!

Hi everyone!
Im looking to take on 1 commission of someone’s awesomely sexy GW2 character

—UPDATE—
Ok so for now I will be drawing a full body picture for Agate Skyborne.685
I am considering taking on more slots in the future so if you are interested you can still post your characters for future consideration!
—————————

Im currently offering sexy portraits in the style shown below for 30g. I’m looking for an interesting character that inspires me, but you can offer more to grab my attention and increase your chances of getting chosen if you like.

I can do fullbody detailed art too like the last 2 samples attached… but that style takes me a serious amount of time so don’t ask unless you are willing to drop a few hundred gold for one XD

Pls post your references and requests
