Guild Wars 2

Yep. I’m an introvert.

It’s interesting to see that my play style matches most of the posts made so far.
I normally split my time between PvE and WvW.

In PvE I explore, do my dailies, gather nodes, and work on my character’s story, occasionally joining in with others for an event or boss, or maybe answering a question I see in map if I know the answer, once the deed is done I drift back to my own business.

WvW is trickier due to the need for voice chat. But I make it work by either running solo, or by tagging along with a zerg. If I know the commander is relatively focused on the task at hand, as in their voice is mostly commands and not endless jibber-jabber, I’ll join TS to listen.

Voice has become my biggest issue in any game … it’s taken everything over. I loathe it. And no it’s not because I’m too afraid to use a microphone, as most people seem to assume, but because I genuinely hate voice chat. It almost always ends up as nothing more than endless personal chatter about a stranger’s daily life … its exhausting. For what it’s worth, you also won’t find me yapping away on a phone – ever. Send me a text and you’ll get a reply. Call me and who knows, good chance the kitten thing isn’t even on.

Voice dominates guilds too, even when they say it won’t. So for me most guilds are out. I currently am in two guilds, one a personal guild with a long time game friend the other I’m not with much mostly because of the voice requirements for everything they do.

Someday I’ll get into fractals … raids … doubtful.

I’ll PM you some info that has helped me out.

I use my reaper for solo and havoc action. It’s a fun class and can hold its own.

So far I’m enjoying the changes that have come to WvW, and am hopeful about the coming changes, but I admit it’s the re-linking of servers that makes me nervous.

I feel like SoR got lucky with DB. The commanders have been great, the fighting has been fun, and I’m finally (as a relatively new player who only experienced the bottom tiers) learning how WvW can be. Tractivators do work … who knew?

A re-linking is going to be jarring for me. I’m building a healthy animosity toward a couple of servers and I’m not thrilled about the idea of suddenly being forced into a link with them. Or worse — a tumble back down into the comatose bowels of WvW where solo camp flipping and PVE’ing keep lords counts as a day of WvW.

I understand Anet is trying to keep populations at a certain level, but being on a small server and frequently bounced around is going to be rough.

10/10. For making use of two excellent characters from a great cartoon.

Gogo because – Go! Go! = Charge! .. Also because of Gogo Ubari of Kill Bill fame … the coolest Asian schoolgirl assassin ever.
